Product Description
In Shadow Prey, the crackling sequel to Rules of Prey, Twin Cities Sleuth Lucas Davenport teams up with NYPD lieutenant Lily Rothenberg to track down an elusive killer, known only as Shadow Love. Among the victims: - A Minneapolis slumlord
- A judge from Oklahoma City
- A Manhattan politician
The Murder weapon: A Native American ceremonial Knife Is Shadow Love just another serial killer, or is he fighting a holy war -- one in which Davenport is slated to be the next casualty? The frenzied and erotically-charged action brings Davenport to the gritty back streets and alleys of Minneapolis' Native American slums. Performed by Ken Howard

 Boring! November 28, 2008
I love the "Prey" series, but this one is the weakest entry of them all. I quit about 1/4 through the book. Convoluted, scattered. My absolute favorite in this series is "Winter Prey". If you've never read a book in the "Prey" series, this is not the one to start with.
Unlikable on most levels August 26, 2008
This is the first entry in the Davenport series that I haven't just absolutely loved. The story lacked a soul. Rather than coming off as the tough cop, Lucas was an immature jerk. The women were flat. The Native American angle could have been amazing, instead it was it was vague; replace it with any other special interest group, and it wouldn't have made much of a difference. The pacing was poor, to the point where It took me a week and a half to drag myself through this volume.
I'm glad I didn't start the series with this book, I probably wouldn't have picked up another one if I had.
 Underrated entry in a great series August 7, 2008
Joh Sandford himself has said that Shadow Prey is one of the least popular books in the series, but it's one of my favorites. Its premise is similar to that of Sudden Prey in that you have a group of villains whose motives are at least understandable, if not laudable, and that ambiguity nicely grays out the inevitably violent conflict between them and Lucas Davenport. No doubt that's why the publisher was unenthusiastic about the book, but I think it raises the enterprise to a more interesting level. There's also a lot of good street-level sociological detail about Natives Americans in the Midwest, very tough action and terrific dialogue.

John Sanford keeps the readers interest book after book with his main character detective Lucas Davenport, in his Prey series. I have read all of James Patterson and Jame Lee Burke and John Grisham, now I intend on reading all of John Sanford's books. His books are not the fast reading style of James Patterson, however it keeps your interest all the way thru and seems more true to life than Patterson's Alex Cross books.

 Shadow Prey April 13, 2008
This is the second book in the Prey series. It is a solid police procedural, and includes the many difficulties and social problems of the Native Americans in Minnesota. I've read several of the later books in the Prey Series, and it is interesting to go back and see Lucas before he settled down and became a family man.
