They call them Travelers. They move from city to city, panhandling, committing no crimes—they just like to stay on the move. And now somebody is killing them.
Lucas Davenport’s adopted daughter, Letty, is home from college when she gets a phone call from a woman Traveler she’d befriended in San Francisco. The woman thinks somebody’s killing her friends, she’s afraid she knows who it is, and now her male companion has gone missing. She’s hiding out in North Dakota, and she doesn’t know what to do.
Letty tells Lucas she’s going to get her, and, though he suspects Letty’s getting played, he volunteers to go with her. When he hears the woman’s story, though, he begins to think there’s something in it. Little does he know. In the days to come, he will embark upon an odyssey through a subculture unlike any he has ever seen, a trip that will not only put the two of them in danger—but just may change the course of his life.

At the start of bestseller Sandfordâs engrossing 25th thriller featuring Lucas Davenport of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (after 2014âs Field of Prey), Lucasâs daughter, Letty, a Stanford student, offers to buy a meal for young buskers Skye and Henry in San Franciscoâs Union Square. Over hamburgers at McDonaldâs, Skye tells Letty about an evil character called Pilot (or Pilate) and his âdisciples,â who peddle dope and flesh and steal for him and, perhaps, even kill for him. Pilate and his crew are Juggalos, fanatical fans of the Insane Clown Posse, and they travel around the country following the band. Skye and Henry later run into them in Sturgis, S.D., with disastrous results. When Skye calls Letty for help, Lucas gets involved. Pilateâs gang, 19 strong (âthink the Manson gang, but worseâ), leaves a trail of violence across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, with Lucas and various local forces trying to corral them. Sandford handles the drawn-out action with his usual artful combination of suspense and humor. Agent: Esther Newberg, ICM. -
Richard Ferrone is at the top of his game as he narrates Sanford's 25th "Prey" thriller. Ferrone has had plenty of practice, having narrated all the audiobooks. This one's quite a bit different, with Lucas Davenport in a multi-state pursuit of a Charlie Manson-like cult called the Disciples, led by a madman named Pilate. They start out by crucifying and slashing to death two acquaintances of Davenport's adoptive daughter, Lettie. Sanford and Ferrone make this the most nonstop, exciting audiobook in the series. Ferrone's narration leaves the listener breathless as Lucas encounters one near-death situation after another. Ferrone is at his best depicting the cult characters--who are as evil and crazy as can be. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
