John Sandford hits a home run over the curve of the earth as the brilliantly swift CERTAIN PREY sinks a meat hook under the reader's jaw on page one and never lets up...Top suspense (KIRKUS REVIEWS)

CERTAIN PREY:
'After ten thrillers in his series about Minneapolis cop Lucas Davenport, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Camp, writing under his Sandford pen name, hits a home run over the curve of the earth as the brilliantly swift Certain Prey sinks a meat hook under the reader's jaw on page one and never lets up...Top suspense' KIRKUS REVIEWS
'A commanding grasp of the thriller idiom, ensuring that his incident-packed narratives still move with express-train speed. This new one is as idiosyncratic and punchy as anything he has written... The conflict between the ruthless anti-heroine and the dogged Deavenport is handled with authority and skill, as Sandford juggles the demands of character and the mechanics of the thriller genre with a master touch' CRIME TIME

'Sandford creates a cracklingly authentic atmosphere, a you-are-there sense of place, a sharp and sympathetic feeling for the details of the police at work' LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW
'Sandford has crafted the kind of trimmed-to-the-bone thriller that is hard to put down' CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Reseña del editor:

Clara Rinker is a Southern woman, pleasant, attractive - and the best hitwoman in the business. She isn't showy; she just goes about her business, collects her money and goes home. It's when she's hired for a job in Minnesota that things become complicated. A defense attorney wants a rival eliminated, and that's fine. But then a witness survives, the attorney starts acting weird, this big cop Davenport gets on her case, and loose ends begin popping up faster than a sweater unravelling. Clara hates loose ends, and she only knows one way of dealing with them: you start cutting them off until they're all gone. Suddenly Davenport is up against the most ruthlessly intelligent killer he's ever faced.
