| Lucas Davenport is back for more sleuthing in John Sanford’s 17th Davenport whodunit. INVISIBLE PREY has Davenport investigating two very different cases. One involves a powerful politician’s dalliances with an underage girl, and the other is the double murder of a wealthy elderly woman and her maid. While some might find this installment a bit more cerebral and less action-packed than the usual Davenport novel, fans are sure to be tantalized by the debauched world of Price’s stalwart detective. | |
