Phantom Prey

A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford When a wealthy widow returns to her luxurious home in an exclusive Minneapolis suburb to find blood everywhere and her daughter gone, she instantly suspects the involvement of the weird Goth crowd her daughter was always hanging around with. Then, with no sign of the widows daughter, dead or alive, another member of the group is found slashed to death. Its only when a third turns up dead that Lucas Davenport is reluctantly dragged into the case. But for all Davenports expertise, the clues dont seem to add up. And then theres the young Goth who keeps appearing and disappearing. Who is she? Where does she come from - and, more importantly, where does she vanish to? Davenport suspects that theres something else going on here.
