In the author's fifth book of the "Prey" series (e.g., Eyes of Prey, Recorded Bks., 1993), Lucas Davenport has retired from the Minneapolis police force and now lives in a cabin in the Wisconsin woods. He creates computer games and generally enjoys the solitude. Davenport's contentment is cut short, however, when the local sheriff asks for help in investigating a series of homicides. A family of three is found murdered in the ashes of their torched house, and a high school boy is killed. Lucas, deputized, must sift through the debris, interview students, and unearth the reason for these deaths. Winter Prey's reader, Richard Ferrone, captures the setting's harsh winter, the fold-by-fold unveiling of the grisly plot, and the mental instability of the antagonist with consummate precision. Highly recommended for thriller collections.‘Kristin M. Jacobi, Coventry, Ct.
