Book Review: ‘Ocean Prey’ Is A Great Lucas Davenport/Virgil Flowers Combined Novel By John Sandford

I love the Prey series featuring Lucas Davenport. I love the Virgil Flowers series. So nothing is better than a combined book featuring the two of them. They have cameoed in each other’s books over the years but this is a full on novel featuring both. And it is GREAT! All action from the beginning with a few light-hearted LOL moments between the two friends. By far the best novel in the Prey series so far.

A Coast Guardsman spots a ship dumping cargo into the ocean off the coast of Florida. He alerts the Coast Guard and they give chase but three of them are killed. And the drugs are never recovered by the Coast Guard. Lucas Davenport is assigned to look into the case along with the FBI in South Florida. He, Bob and Rae are on the cast and this time Virgil Flowers is brought along. It leads to a deep undercover assisgnment that could cost them their lives and along the way we lose a beloved member of the crew. It stretches from Florida to the New York Mafia and is a plan that is expertly detailed and if any little thing goes wrong, everything goes up in smoke.

You can pick up Ocean Prey in stores on Tuesday, April 13th from Putnam.
