When an entire family is savagely murdered and all signs point to a drug-related killing, Lucas Davenport is called to the scene to help track down the killers.

Suspecting that Mexican Criminales are involved, Mexican Federales show up in Minnesota to help in the investigation. A leak in the department puts all plans and lives at risk as the story unfolds.

Long a fan of John Sandford's Lucas Davenport books, I'm afraid Stolen Prey left me feeling a little unsatisfied. Normally, I am unable to put a John Sandford book down, but this one seemed to be missing the great pacing usually found in the Lucas Davenport books, and the characters, especially Lucas, seemed a little one-dimensional.

Although any Lucas Davenport reader will appreciate this new addition to the series, it doesn't have quite the punch of some of John Sandford's earlier works.
