PHANTOM PREY

Lucas Davenport is in the midst of a confusing case. A wealthy friend of his wife asks Lucas to investigate the disappearance of her daughter. The daughter has been frequenting Goth nightclubs and another Goth has been murdered. As usual, Lucas is involved in other police work. including a long-term stake-out, but he is intrigued by this case. It seems that the more Lucas investigates, the more confusing the entire case becomes.

This is John Sanford and Lucas Davenport at their best. Lucas has long been one of my favorite crime solvers and this is one of the best from John Sanford in several years. The book also took a look at multiple personality disorder and I found this interesting but spooky. It was amazing to see a person who appeared to function so well and be in such control struggling with other personalities and finally be torn apart. I hope that John Sanford keeps us entertained with many more of his books featuring Lucas Davenport.

Rating - 5 stars
