Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A slumlord in Minneapolis. A New York politician. An Oklahoma judge.
Three strangers with one thing in common: each has been butchered with a Native American ceremonial knife by a killer known as Shadow Love. Lucas Davenport and Officer Lily Rothenburg needn't look far for the killer. He's right behind them.

This is the very first entry in the Davenport series that I haven't just absolutely loved. The story lacked a soul. Rather than coming off as the tough cop, Lucas was an immature jerk. The women were flat. The Native American angle could have been amazing, instead it was it was vague; replace it with any other special interest group, and it wouldn't have made much of a difference. The pacing was poor, to the point where It took me a week and a half to drag myself through this volume.
I'm glad I didn't start the series with this book, I probably wouldn't have picked up another one if I had.

Joh Sandford himself has said that Shadow Prey is one of the least popular books in the series, but it's one of my favorites. Its premise is similar to that of Sudden Prey in that you have a group of villains whose motives are at least understandable, if not laudable, and that ambiguity nicely grays out the inevitably violent conflict between them and Lucas Davenport. No doubt that's why the publisher was unenthusiastic about the book, but I think it raises the enterprise to a more interesting level. There's also a lot of good street-level sociological detail about Natives Americans in the Midwest, very tough action and terrific dialogue.

This is the second book in the Prey series. It is a solid police procedural, and includes the many difficulties and social problems of the Native Americans in Minnesota. I've read several of the later books in the Prey Series, and it is interesting to go back and see Lucas before he settled down and became a family man.

The entire Sandford "Prey" serious is great .... having grown up in Mpls it's great fun to ride the streets of Mpls again & see/feel/smell the the familiar sights...plus Lucas is so tuff....great/fun read

This is not a good very first book to read of John Sandford. I would recommend another one and then go back to this one. I'm glad I didn't read this very first but it was still o.k. Better than some I've read.
