"Hidden Prey" is John Sandford's 16th novel in the Lucas Davenport prey series and it delivers just as suspenseful a story as the first fifteen. This time Davenport is called to investigate the death of a Russian who is killed on the shores of Lake Superior with bullets that are at least fifty years old. This Russian had high government connections via his father so a policewoman, Nadya, is sent to follow the investigation with Davenport and his partner. However, Nadya doesn't "feel" like a police woman and Davenport is soon suspicious that she is really an agent or spy.
When a homeless woman as well as another Russian agent are killed and Nadya is also targeted, the investigation begins to look at some families that are closely related. Although all of the older generation are citizens, the hospital where they were born burned to the ground and all records were destroyed. Could there be a Russian spy ring operating still in the area?
As often is the case with Davenport, there are twists and turns until the truth is discovered and I'm left wondering if perhaps this woman agent, Nadya, will turn up in future Prey novels? pazt
