BURIED PREY BOOK REVIEW SERIES
She quickly fetches a gun from the glove compartment of her car and enters the house. BURIED PREY From the Prey series by John Sandford RELEASE DATE: May 10, 2011. A fusion of old-fashioned doggedness and modern technology pressures the killer into deadly action. Book 18 in the Prey series opens when a wealthy widow named Alyssa Austin arrives home to discover that the home security system has been disarmed. Cracking this very cold case becomes intensely personal for Davenport, who uses his own resources, including manipulating the media and pushing Marcy Sherrill, head of Minneapolis Homicide, to use all of her resources as well. The present-day discovery of the mummified bodies of two girls wrapped in plastic, sisters Nancy and Mary Jones, leads Davenport to realize that he "messed up": the wrong man was credited with the crime and the real killer never caught.
