And they are dead set on making sure that what happened to them doesn’t happen to Finney. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims. Her own series, perhaps? For further reading check out our review Mad River.In The Black Phone, Finney Shaw, a shy but clever 13-year-old boy, is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of little use. I look forward to seeing what Sandford has planned for Letty in future. Still, I’d solidly recommend Stolen Prey as a better than average read. These baddies, while brutal, just didn’t bring me into the storyline the way Sandford’s previous baddies have. I’d normally give his novels five stars but this one lands a solid four. The story was a good one but Sandford has written better. Who thought, before this book, that Shrake was the brains? I think all we learn is consistent with what we read and finding these new gems of who they are is just so cool to me. He and Shrake (and I think this gives nothing away) break into the trunk of a car and Shake is the brains. Jenkins, in Stolen Prey, is described as a wall. Okay, here’s something weighing on my mind - is it just me or are Jenkins and Shrake almost new characters in each novel? Each story we learn something new about them that alters the way we think of these semi-thuggish cops. I love the way she always has Lucas’ back. She plays a heavy part in this novel that some folks will believe and some won’t. I like Letty and I’d like to see her have her own series. Lucas would not be who he is without his home life but I am a reader who maintains we can get hints of that but see it mostly off screen. He’s his own unique character and really shines in this novel however, brief his appearances. Sandford said that he started writing Flowers because Lucas was getting older. I love the insertion of Flowers into the more recent books. He has everyone’s favorite guy, Virgil Flowers, looking for the people who attacked him. Lucas is more passionate about the secondary case, which is his own mugging. He’s an agent with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension so just inserts himself into what interests him and this case, in its brutality, does.

I would even go as far to say that he was passive in his pursuit of the case in the first part of this book.ĭon’t get me wrong, this wasn’t his case but in recent novels, it never really is his case. He’s now a family man with a wife and children to think about before he dives headfirst into solving a crime. He’s grown from the careless cop we meet in Rules of Prey (Lucas Davenport) who would kill the bad guy rather than take his chance with the justice system to a guy who methodically plans a strategy. Lucas has evolved, as is natural with a character that’s been around as long as he has. I’ve read every single one, and there are those that I like less but none that I like not at all.

Lucas must follow the trail to discover why the family was killed and to stop the rapid pile of bodies landing on the door of the case. The family has a lot of money going out that seems to not have an origin. While he heals, Lucas is caught up in a case of a family brutally murdered.
