John Sandford has one of the best ever crime fiction series going with his "Prey" novels. "Broken Prey," the 16th and most recent story in the series is, arguably, his best effort yet. Sandford's knack for using detail and sense of place to transport the reader out of their armchair and into an alternate world is supberb and it truly excels in this story. His characters are alive from first introduction, whatever scene he sets is right there for the reader, his plotting is perfect yet invisible...on and on. Add to that an incredibly well written climax--an action scene that ranks as the best I've ever read--and you have, with Broken Prey, John Sandford at the pinnacle of his game.
