Book Description:
Years ago, Lucas Davenport almost died at the hands of Clara Rinker, a pleasant, soft-spoken, low-key Southerner, and the best hitwoman in the business. Now retired and living in Mexico, she nearly dies herself when a sniper kills her boyfriend, the son of a local druglord, and while the boy's father vows vengeance, Rinker knows something he doesn't: The boy wasn't the target-she was-and now she is going to have to disappear to find the killer herself. The FBI and DEA draft Davenport to help track her down, and with his fiancée deep in wedding preparations, he's really just as happy to go-but he has no idea what he's getting into. For Rinker is as unpredictable as ever, and between her, her old bosses in the St. Louis mob, the Mexican druglord, and the combined, sometimes warring, forces of U.S. law enforcement, this is one case that will get more dangerous as it goes along. And when the crossfire comes, anyone standing in the middle won't stand a chance. . . .
Filled with the rich characterization and exceptional drama that are his hallmarks, Mortal Prey proves that John Sandford just keeps getting better.

John Sandfords books are hard to put down. 'Mortal prey' is no exception. Clara Rinker has returned and she is still lethal ! It is up to Lucas Davenport to find her before she finds him.
John Sandfords descriptions of how Clara Rinker is able to stay one step ahead of the entire police force are breathtaking. His eye for details and surprising plots are hard to match. This is the story of someone who wants to change her destructive life (Clara Rinker), but because of horibble events, is forced to do what she has done all her life: killing. Sandford is able to let you sympathize for the villain, which is not that easy to do.
A great story about revenge and setting matters straight. Must-read !

If you're a fan of the Prey series you cannot miss this one. I can't say it was my favorite but it fits and fans will still love it.
Clara Rinker is back and better than before. If you've met her already then you already have a soft spot for her if only for her abilities. She's a great match for Lucas Davenport.
Definitely read this if you're following the series.

Another fantastic Lucas Davenport story, I cannot believe that after all these books and all these years his mysteries are still tight, compelling and intense. The plots are complex and well thought out, and I always enjoy books where the character's history is just as interesting and important as the story line, and in some cases where his past opponents return to wreak havoc.
Good summer read. Plot moved along and there were characters that I found interesting. This book was up to Sandford's best writing.
This book was one of my favorites. John Sanford writes some of the best stories. Seriously recommend this book
In this spellbinder, the 13th installment in John Sandford's Prey series, likable hit woman Clara Rinker becomes an assassination target herself. When the plot fails, Rinker slips underground to track down her would-be killers. To quiet things down, the feds call out Minneapolis deputy police chief (and series hero) Lucas Davenport. Lucas has his own steer-sized beef with the soft-spoken Rinker: A few years back, in Certain Prey, she nearly killed him. In this exciting thriller, everyone is caught in the crossfire.
This is a BOMC edition of the original hardcover. Same text, just smaller in size.
A WONDERFULLY CHILLING NOVEL WITH ANOTHER OF LUCAS DAVENPORTS ADVENTURES
This is a Lucas Davenport novel. Sandford's Prey books are some of the best.
