A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford.

Lucas Davenport knows why people wipe out. Some get it done for thrills. Some do it for profit. Some do it because they must. However when his group guns down two standard bank robbers in the center of a heist, Davenport falls prey towards the purest, simplest criminal motivation of most: revenge.

Dick LaChaise may be the husband of 1 of the dead bank robbers and brother to the other. He desires Davenport to suffer as he provides.

So he’s not about Sudden Prey seeking Davenport himself . he’s going after his family.
