Publisher's summary

The brilliant new Lucas Davenport thriller from the number-one New York Times best-selling author.

"Sandford's track record as a best-selling author is amazing, but it's not an accident," wrote Booklist of Wicked Prey. "His plotting is sharp, his villains are extraordinarily layered, and his good guys are always evolving.

And this time, there's a storm brewing...Very early, 4:45, on a bitterly cold Minnesota morning, three big men burst through the door of a hospital pharmacy, duct-tape the hands, feet, mouth, and eyes of two pharmacy workers, and clean the place out. But then things swiftly go bad, one of the workers dies, and the robbers hustle out to their truck-and find themselves for just one second face-to-face with a blond woman in the garage: Weather Karkinnen, surgeon, wife of an investigator named Lucas Davenport.

Did she see enough? Can she identify them? Gnawing it over later, it seems to them there is only one thing they can do: Find out who she is, and eliminate the only possible witness.

The evil Dr. Barakat

The characters in this book were great. Dr. Barakat is dripping with evil. Cappy is void of any redeeming social values. The Mack brothers were bad guys but occasionally would show a hint of decency, especially Joe. To the rescue comes Lucas Davenport, ably assisted by another Sandford protagonist, Virgil Flowers. And then there's narrator Richard Ferrone. The voice he uses when bad guys say dumb things made me laugh out loud. If you don't mind graphic violence (remember folks, it's fiction) and you like a thriller with interesting characters read by a talented narrator, then download this book. It's one of the best in the Prey series and I think I've listened to them all.

Davenport Back in Action

By now, those of us who listen to Sandford's Prey series know what we're going to get: wicked predators who like to kill and a lantern-jawed cop who's not alive unless he's hunting a perp. In this one, his wife Weather is in danger because she's a witness to a hospital burglary that results in a murder. Sandford also pads this one with the description of a long, delicate surgical process to separate two babies joined at the skull: Weather is a vital part of the surgical team. It's disappointing that Sandford enlists his other series hero, Virgil Flowers, as Weather's bodyguard but gives him almost nothing to do. The best thing about the audio is Richard Ferrone, who has performed every Prey book I've heard and who has the perfect throaty voice for a hardboiled plot-driven story. I listen to these books while exercising, and they're great page-turners if you don't mind lots of graphic violence and cops who prefer revenge to justice. Sometimes the simplistic and sadistic villains are unintentionally comic, and there's a bit of sexism built into the series that's almost tongue in cheek, but if you can turn off your higher frequencies and listen with your reptile brain, you'll enjoy the vicarious thrill of being Lucas Davenport, a man's man who always gets his man.

My favorite Prey book

This was my first introduction to the Prey series and I am glad it was. I really enjoyed this book. Being in the medical field, that kept me interested in the plot and following the twins' surgery. I enjoyed it very much, right up to the end.

Pretty average

Not a lot of action or suspense - pretty average. Accents were borderline obnoxious. The relationship between the two bad guys was pretty funny. I enjoyed the humor.

Richard Ferrone is magnificent as usual.

I almost forget Ferrone isn’t the writer because he performs so well. I fine myself laughing throughout the book because ferrone acts his butt off!!! He brings out the humor that’s intended from the characters created by Sandford; one of my favorites being Dale. I love the books that bring in Dale’s character. I’m truly going to hate when I end this series. I’m getting closer to the end. Happy to have sandford and ferrone in my life.

Humorous and exciting...a great combination!

Lucas Davenport and "the gang" are back and entertaining as ever! Thumbs up to this Sanford novel, kept me listening while sitting in the dark, in my car, in my garage because I couldn't turn off my ipod. Great ending, you can't go wrong.

You have our attention.

Storm Prey is excellent as are all the Sandborn books. We can both agree on these for road trips. The Prey series always keeps our attention.

As usual , fabulous.

Richard Ferrone is one of the best narrators in the stable. On the other hand, John Sandford is one of the great storytellers in the crime fiction family. He also understands character development, sagacity in arranging plots and dialogue which magically captures and synchronizes the imagination. Thus, what in the world is not to like.
