Add a CommentLucas Davenport #4. The killer Davenport tracked in Eyes of Prey has escaped and is on a grizzly killing spree.
Scary Good! A little gruesome at the beginning - I skipped over it - then it gets down to business of catching Dr. Bekker, again! If you don't know who Dr. Bekker is, then you should read "Eyes of Prey" book 3. This book continues book 3, and shifts from Minneapolis, MN to New York City. I wasn't clear on why the venue got switched and that Dr. Bekker was now in New York and not Minneapolis. Lucas Davenport, and his keen senses, makes the move to New York work. Definitely read this book, but be sure to read "Eyes of Prey" first so you get the whole story in context.
Rather gruesome, but overall a good plot.
Like most of the books by Sanford that I've read, the plot seems to jump from one end to the other without rhyme or reason. Interesting but at times it simply doesn't make sense
