Ocean Prey: Lucas Davenport #31 [B0674-PB]

2021 HCDJ in nice clean condition. Fan-favorite heroes Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers join forces on a deadly maritime case in the remarkable new novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author John Sandford. An off-duty Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family when he calls in some suspicious behavior from a nearby boat. It's a snazzy craft, slick and outfitted with extra horsepower, and is zipping along until it slows to pick up a surfaced diver . . . a diver who was apparently alone, without his own boat, in the middle of the ocean. None of it makes sense unless there's something hinky going on, and his hunch is proved right when all three Guardsmen who come out to investigate are shot and killed. They're federal officers killed on the job, which means the case is the FBI's turf. When the FBI's investigation stalls out, they call in Lucas Davenport. And when his case turns lethal, Davenport will need to bring in every asset he can claim, including a detective with a fundamentally criminal mind: Virgil Flowers.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A whole cluster of my favorite Sanford characters, wall to wall action and suspense, snappy dialogue and one hard-to-take tragedy. Another terrific read from the prolific Mr. S."; "Ocean Prey was my first John Sandford novel and I was very impressed with the plot, character makeup, and writing style. 5 stars for Ocean Prey!"; "This was a fun read, both Lucas AND Virgil, having fun in the sun. A break from the Minnesota cold."; "This was really good. One of the best in the series and loved that both Davenport and Virgie are together on the same case."; "Any time you get Lucas and Virgil together in a book, it's magic."
