Buried prey book review
This book featured one of his first cases–the abduction and assumed murder of two young girls.
It was cool to see Davenport as a “rookie” and see how he worked his way up through the ranks to his current role as an investigator in the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. In Buried Prey, Sandford reintroduces the young and ambitious Lucas Davenport when he started on the police force.

His wife, Susan, died of metastasized breast cancer in May, 2007, and is greatly missed.I have been a big John Sandford fan since I read his first “Prey” book long ago.

And then there's the young Goth who keeps appearing and disappearing: Who is she? Where does she come from and, more important, where does she vanish to? And why does Lucas keep getting the sneaking suspicion that there is something else going on here.
Lucas gets in only reluctantly - but then when a second Goth is slashed to death in Minneapolis, he starts working it hard. There's someone she knows, a surgeon named Weather Davenport, whose husband is a big deal with the police, and she implores Weather to get her husband directly involved. And now this.īut the police can't find the girl, alive or dead, and the widow truly panics. What did she call them - Goths? Freaks is more like it, running around with all that makeup and black clothing, listening to that awful music, so attracted to death. She's always known that her daughter ran with a bad bunch. A widow comes home to her large house in a wealthy, exclusive suburb to find blood on the walls, no body - and her college-age daughter missing.
