The latest Lucas Davenport thriller from the New York times-bestselling author John Sandford.

Lucas Davenport, fast-driving, sharp-dressing investigator with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, is the rock star of John Sandford’s Prey novels. And Storm Prey, the 20th thrill ride in the series, is the reason we keep coming back.

In the wee hours of a bitter cold morning, three thugs who’ve just busted a hospital pharmacy go tearing out of the parking garage and nearly crash into an attractive woman entering the structure. Later, a news story on the break-in announces that a bound and badly beaten pharmacy employee has died, leaving the burglars facing murder charges and wondering: Did the looker they saw get a good look at them?

It doesn’t take long for a doctor in on the heist to figure out that the potential witness is Weather Karkinnen, the surgeon/wife of Lucas Davenport, a big-deal detective who isn’t afraid to shoot first and ask questions later. What’s more, Davenport has called in his posse of top cops to make sure she’s surrounded at all times. Now that would have been a good move if the artless band of bandits decided to take a crack at her themselves. But knowing their limits, they’ve hired a stone-cold killer to make sure this new operation is a success….

John Sandford is the pseudonym of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling novelist John Roswell Camp. Camp was born on February 23, 1944, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He received a B.A. in American History and a Masters in Journalism from the University of Iowa. Camp worked for the Miami Herald from 1971 to 1978. In 1978 he moved to Minneapolis and started working for the Saint Paul Pioneer Press as a features reporter before becoming a daily columnist at the newspaper in 1980. He was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1980, for a series of stories on Native American culture. In 1986 he won the Pulitzer for Non-Deadline Feature Writing for a series of stories collectively titled "Life on the Land: An American Farm Family". The series, written during the midwest farm crisis, followed a typical southwest Minnesota farm family through the course of a full year. He stopped writing full-time for the Pioneer Press in 1989, although he didn't stop entirely until the next year. In 1989 Camp wrote two novels that would become the first books of his two bestselling series. Both novels, The Fool's Run of the Kidd series and Rules of Prey of the Prey series, were accepted and due to be published three months apart. The Fool's Run was published under the name "John Camp", but the publisher asked Camp to provide a pseudonym for Rules of Prey so it was published under the name "John Sandford". After the Prey series proved to be more popular, with its charismatic protagonist Lucas Davenport, The Fool's Run and all of its subsequent sequels have been published under the "Sandford" name. In 2007 Sandford started a third series featuring Virgil Flowers, who previously was a supporting character in Invisible Prey.
