I don't remember where I got this book. I just found it on my bookshelf and figured I would try it. I was not disappointed. It is one book in a long series that you don't have to have read the others to keep up with. I've not read John Sandford's "Prey" series before, but I think I will have to add those on my books to read. It is about a detective named Lucas Davenport who is attempting to solve a strange series of murders in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The one, no two things I disliked about this were the high numbers of characters, and the intertwining of 2 completely different plots. I really dislike reading books with high numbers of characters because I have problems keeping them all straight after a while. Also, Sandford's detective Davenport is working on two different crimes, and the story flip-flops back and forth, adding to the list of characters to keep straight. Other than that, I found this book enormously entertaining and a very quick read.
