Ocean Prey (A Prey Novel)
Fan-favorite heroes Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers join forces on a deadly maritime case in the remarkable new novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author John Sandford. An off-duty Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family when he calls in some suspicious behavior from a nearby boat. It's a snazzy craft, slick and outfitted with extra horsepower, and is zipping along until it slows to pick up a surfaced diver . . . a diver who was apparently alone, without his own boat, in the middle of the ocean. None of it makes sense unless there's something hinky going on, and his hunch is proved right when all three Guardsmen who come out to investigate are shot and killed. They're federal officers killed on the job, which means the case is the FBI's turf. When the FBI's investigation stalls out, they call in Lucas Davenport. And when his case turns lethal, Davenport will need to bring in every asset he can claim, including a detective with a fundamentally criminal mind: Virgil Flowers.

This was the first John Sandford novel I read and it got me hooked to his writings. His mystery’s are always interesting and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good murder mystery.
My issue with his books is the difficulty I have connecting with the main characters (which are reused over the course of his different series). This is entirely because I’m not a middle aged white man who likes fishing, hunting, and boats, which seem to be the base characteristics of all his main characters which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just makes it a bit harder to connect. Sandford’s skill with writing mystery definitely makes up for it.
