Buried Prey represents the 21st volume of Sandford's Lucas Davenport series. The bodies of two young girls who were killed back in the 1980's are unexpectedly unearthed when a house is demolished. Back then, as a young uniformed patrolman, Lucas's involvement with the case launched his career as an investigator. He considers the mistake he made on it, however, the worst in his career. Now he must find out the truth.
While I have only read a handful of the "Prey" series, I really appreciated the background provided by young Lucas's "temporary assignment as a plainclothes homicide detective. This was also the beginning of his relationships with supporting characters we have grown to know and love such as: Sloan and Del Capslock. When he brings the murder mystery to the current day, John Sandford mixes some revenge motivation into the search for this sexual predator and killer that slipped through the system all those years ago. The result is a murder mystery page-turner that I would definitely recommend.
