I have read all the Prey books and all of the Virgil Flowers books. I have not yet read his Kidd series. This one was not what I consider a "typical Prey book". It was well written and I loved the characters. But this one was slower paced than most of Lucas' stories.Silken Prey is a political story. Porter Smalls is the current senator of Minnesota. He is at the end of his campaign for re-election and way ahead in the polls. When a scandal rocks his political and possibly his personal future. Child porn is found on his office computer.Taryn Grant is a billionaire heiress, who has never been told no, nor has she ever been denied anything she wants. And now she wants to be the new senator from Minnesota. And eventually president of the United States. But no matter how much money she throws into her campaign, she cannot get ahead of the incumbent Smalls. So she and her personal security team, Dannon and Carver. decided to tip the scales in her favor. No matter what the cost. Human or monetary.Governor Henderson asks Lucas to quietly look into the child porn allegations against Smalls. What Lucas finds leads back to the campaign of Taryn Grant, but he has no real proof. It also leads to the last place Lucas wants to investigate the Minneapolis Police Department.Lucas needs help tracing this porn file through the system, he enlists the help of a former employee, Ingrid Caroline Eccols, ICE. She suggests more help would be needed and sends Lucas to his old friend Kidd. He and Lucas attended college together, now he makes his living as a very well known and expensive artist. Lucas' wife Weather owns a couple of his paintings. We first met Kidd earlier in Chosen Prey when Lucas needed help with some paintings. But he is better known in the world of computers. Hacking to be more precise.He also brings in the rest of his team. The whole gang is together again, Rose Marie, Del, Shrake, Jenkins and even Virgil makes an appearance.Like I said earlier, this is a slower paced book. A thinking mans story. It's fun to watch Lucas' mind work as he starts to put the puzzle together. There is a great chase scene towards the end. And quite a bit of tension with Kidd's wife as she quenches her addiction, I was not really thrilled with the extent she went through to get her "fix". She took a great risk, and could have lost both her husband and her child. "But she'll never do it again, just one more". Yeah right. Overall it was a great book I loved having all of Lucas' team back in action, and I loved seeing the small glimpses into his private life with Weather and their kids. I look forward to the next one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Lucas Davenport "Prey" Book delivers the goods! *by S***5 on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021* Silken Prey is written like all of Sanford's books around the protagonist Lucas Davenport with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) and set in the area around the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The book continues the style of switching cameras in each chapter between the bad guys and Lucas Davenport along with the usual set of characters in the Minnesota Police that adorn the other Prey books.The plot moves quite fast and alternates between a Republican Senator accused of child pornography and the Democratic candidate for Senator that is running against him and purportedly planted the materials to ruin his bid for the Senate seat. Set in an environment on the eve of the elections, it becomes doubly important to find out the truth and bring the perps to justice.The ending was a little anticlimactic and I found it unresolved with a lot of loose threads hanging. Could it be that John Sanford wants to continue the story in another book and pick up where this leaves off?The book is a good read and John Sanford keeps up the pace and the pressure on Davenport to solve the crime while cutting a few corners and bending a few ears in the process. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dirty tricks … *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2020* … in politics are almost as American as apple pie. In this case, the computer of an incumbent US senator is found to have salacious material on it, and that fact makes its way into the media just weeks before the election. The opposition should be rejoicing, but, wait, what if one of their own placed the damaging material on the computer?The governor asks the renowned Lucas Davenport of the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to quietly and quickly get to the bottom of this situation. Davenport finds that the senator’s opponent is a hard-charging female new to politics, known for her wealth and willingness to do most anything to get ahead. Furthermore, she employs two ex-military types known for their ruthlessness. The case takes a decided turn when a political trickster goes missing and is presumed dead.Lucas has virtually nothing to work with, but he does have an old artist friend, who happens to have a background in computer hacking. Slowly Davenport is able to peel away the layers of cover-up and pressure those that seem responsible. Entertaining read if a little over the top in terms what political operatives will do to get ahead. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4710377-silken-prey-a-lucas-davenport-novel-the-prey-series-book](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4710377-silken-prey-a-lucas-davenport-novel-the-prey-series-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
