Easy Prey
When a high-profile model is murdered, Lucas Davenport finds himself investigating a case that hits close to home, with one of his own officers as a suspect. As a string of strange killings grips the city, Davenport uncovers a chilling connection that points to a killer far more dangerous than anyone anticipated.
The narrative follows the long-term career and personal evolution of Lucas Davenport, so reading the books in publication order provides the most complete context for his character development and recurring relationships. While each investigation is self-contained, the series rewards readers who follow the chronological progression of the protagonist's life.
This book is part of a shared universe that includes the Virgil Flowers series and the Letty Davenport series. Characters from these different series occasionally cross over into one another's stories, creating an interconnected narrative world that expands beyond the primary Lucas Davenport arc.
