Once the prey series was a capable and compelling one but now it has become bland and flat with absolutely no depth no edge and nothing to set it apart from the masses. Domesticated Davenport finds himself emeshed in a Russian conspiracy chasing a deadly female assassin with an agenda. So what?

I am a fan of John Sandford's and have read all of his previous Lucas Davenport books. With the last four or five novels, I have noticed that Sandford is making the books lighter and easier to read with Davenport becoming more likable. This makes for a quick read but is disappointing for long-term fans like myself who appreciated the darkness of the earlier novels.

The plot to this book was quite average and to me, did not contain the depth of research or the complexity of plotting that I have come to expect from the author.
