Buried Prey by John Sandford
3.0
Vintage John Sandford...taut thriller/mystery in his Prey series. The first half of this one takes us back to Davenport's early days as a patrol officer when he first gets bumped to plainclothes detective status to help search for two young girls who were kidnapped. The second half moves us back to the present day to finish up with that now cold case. Lots of action, lots of violence...not for the squeamish. There were a number of parts that I skimmed over, but I enjoyed the police procedural parts.
Sandford (pseudonym for John Roswell Camp) is a former Pulitzer-prize winning journalist, a good writer, who may know something about actual police procedure. I'm sure his books are extremely exaggerated in their action and violence and so forth, Yet, I wonder if there isn't a bit of truth buried therein about how police work happens. Meh…probably very little resemblance to the real thing.
