Three powerful novels featuring Minnesota deputy police chief Lucas Davenport. Mind Prey: It is raining when psychiatrist Andi Manette leaves the school with her two daughters, and she is distracted. She doesn't notice the van parked beside her, doesn't notice the front door slide open as she and the girls dash to the car. The last thing she does notice is the hand reaching out for her and the voice from the past - and then the three of them are gone. Hours, later, Davenport stands in the parking lot, a bloody purse in his hand, and knows without thinking that this will prove one of the worst cases he will ever be on. Sudden Prey: For months, Davenport's men have been tracking a vicious woman bank robber named Candy, and when they finally catch up with her, she does not go quietly. In a shootout, she dies - and Davenport's nightmare begins. For her associates are even worse that she was, particularly her husband, a deeply violent man who swears an appropriate revenge: first he will find the names of those responsible; then he will kill those nearest and dearest to them, just as they killed Candy. Secret Prey: The company chairman lies dead on the cold ground of the woods. Near him stand the four executives with whom he has been hunting, each with a reason not to be sorrowful about the man's death. And unless Lucas Davenport misses his guess, this murder will not be the last.
