Second in the Prey series. A thriller, not a mystery; we know from the beginning who the bad guys are. Sandford is developing the character of Davenport here, he's slightly - slightly - less unethical than he was in the first (the reader understands he's on the side of good though, and the parts I winced at were more on the side of his personal life). Kind of fun that Davenport is ineffective throughout most of the story, and is griping about it to the New York detective, but the theme of getting there just a minute too late is crucial to the ending. Sandford also lets the readers be somewhat sympathetic to the aims of the Indians, but he still throws in the mad killer. Lots of action, most of the characters sound real enough, and it ends as we expect; a nice escapist read.
