Marshal, someone who can operate outside of FBI constraints (no crime has been committed), to uncover the intent behind the website.
Two senators call in Lucas Davenport, U.S. The question: Are extremists with deadly intent tracking the children of powerful politicians? Of course, the FBI is on it. The kids names appear alongside vicious political rants from radical very right-leaning groups. Senator finds a picture of herself on a strange website alongside random pictures of other kids of influential politicians. Most of the negative reviews that I’ve read were due to the political nature of the book. There is a political bent in this novel where the alt-alt-right is clearly the “bad guys.” Those who lean far to the right, especially in how they feel about the government and gun control might want to skip this one. You sort of know where your headed in the book, but the path is interesting, realistic, and provides a few surprises along the way. Verdict: This book delivers exactly what you’d expect for a murder/thriller it moves along crisply, has simple in-your-face dialogue, and the plot is somewhat intricate. Note: This is my first Sandford book, but it stands on its own. Masked Prey is book 30 in the Prey Novel Series with protagonist Lucas Davenport as a U.S. John Sandford is the pseudonym for Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Camp.
