  • "Lucas Davenport comes up against a serial killer whose method has no rhyme or reason--and no end in sight."@en
  • "The first body is of a young woman, found on a Minneapolis riverbank, her throat cut, her body scourged and put on display. Whoever did this, Lucas Davenport knows, is pushed by brain chemistry. There is something wrong with him. This isn't a bad love affair. The second body is found three weeks later, in a farmhouse six miles south. Same condition, same display'except this time it is a man. Nothing to link the two victims, nothing to indicate that the killings end here. "This guy'" Lucas said. He took a deep breath, let it out as a sigh. "This guy is going to bust our chops." And soon he is going to do far, far worse than that'"@en
  • "Lucas Davenport faces the horrible murder and display of two people. A suspect emerges early but Davenport wonders if this really is the right person."@en
  • "The first corpse is found on a riverbank. The second in an isolated farmhouse. Both have been savagely beaten, the skin flayed from their bodies, their throats cut. For both victims, there's a DNA match. Charlie Pope, a convicted sex offender recently released from the Minnesota Security Hospital, has cut himself free from his court-imposed ankle bracelet and disappeared. Now all Lucas Davenport has to do is find him. But something about this case doesn't smell right. The killings were meticulously calculated and methodical. Pope is of low mental intelligent, incapable of careful forethought and planning. All the evidence points to Pope - but Davenport has his doubts."

  • ""KALTES FIEBER" FÄNGT DA AN, WO ALBTRÄUME AUFHÖREN ... Die erste Leiche wird an einem einsamen Ufer in Minneapolis gefunden. Der Körper der jungen Frau wurde mit einer Peitsche gegeisselt. Drei Wochen später taucht auf einer Farm ein zweiter Leichnam auf. Wieder handelt es sich um eine besonders grausame Tat, denn der Tote wurde verstümmelt. Der Mörder muss schnell ausfindig gemacht werden, nicht nur, um weitere Opfer zu vermeiden. Der Gouverneur von Minnesota fürchtet vielmehr eine Panik unter den Menschen, die auch politische Konsequenzen für ihn haben könnte. Deshalb übergibt er den Fall Detective Lucas Davenport, dem Chef der Abteilung für Öffentliche Sicherheit bei der Staatspolizei. Schon bald gibt es einen Verdächtigen: Charlie Pope, ein Sexualverbrecher, der vor kurzem aus der Psychiatrie des Gefängniskrankenhauses St. John'ss entlassen wurde. Aber Charlie Pope hat noch nie einen Menschen getötet, er verbüsste seine Haftstrafe wegen Vergewaltigung. Ausserdem zeugt die Planung und Durchführung der Morde von einer hohen Intelligenz des Täters - eine Intelligenz, über die der eher minderbemittelte Pope nicht verfügt. Davenport vermutet, dass Pope im Auftrag anderer gehandelt hat, also nur ein Handlanger war. Und diese anderen können nur die "Drei Grossen" sein, drei Hannibal-Lecter-artige Killer, die in St. John'ss unter schärfsten Sicherheitsvorkehrungen einsitzen und von denen jeder glaubte, dass sie hier kein Unheil mehr anrichten können ... "Dieser Killer ...", sagte Lucas, atmete tief ein und liess die Luft als Seufzer wieder aus der Kehle entweichen. "Dieser Killer wird uns noch die Hölle heiss machen.""

  • ""There are reasons why John Sandford's Prey series has been so wildly successful, and they begin with our old friends plot and character," praises The Washington Post. "But in Hidden Prey, Sandford has outdone himself. He is at the to of his game. You want to know the only thing wrong with this guy? He makes it look easy." but there is nothing easy about what Lucas Davenport faces now. The first body is of a young woman, found on a Minneapolis riverbank, her throat cut, her body scourged and put on display. Whoever did this, Lucas knows, there is something wrong with him. This isn't a bad love affair. The second body is found three weeks later, in a farmhouse six miles south--except this time it is a man. A suspect emerges early; a man recently released from a prison hospital who now seems to have cut himself free from his court-imposed ankle bracelet and disappeared. And meanwhile, a predator waits ... Brilliantly suspenseful, consistently surprising, filled with rich characters and exceptional drama--once again, Sandford has outdone himself."@en
  • "Lucas Davenport is on the trail of a gruesome killer. The main suspect, Charlie Pope, was recently released from a mental hospital, where he was locked up with a trio of sadistic murderers. But there are two problems: Charlie hardly seems intelligent enough to be a serial killer--and he has disappeared."@en
  • "A house demolition provides an unpleasant surprise for Minneapolis-the bodies of two girls, wrapped in plastic. It looks like they've been there a long time. Lucas Davenport knows exactly how long. In 1985, Davenport was a young cop with a reputation for recklessness, and the girls' disappearance was a big deal. His bosses ultimately declared the case closed, but he never agreed with that. Now that he has a chance to investigate it all over again, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: It wasn't just the bodies that were buried. It was the truth."
