Neon Prey is a book that deals with a lot of bad things. Cannibalism is one horrible discovery by the marshall team lead by Lucas Davenport. There is no happy ending in this book but there is a story that has a beginning, middle and end. The characters are all believable. The settings are described well. Three stars were given to this book because the book was just too long. ( )

It’s hard to believe that this is Davenport’s 29th adventure. He’s gotten shot, stabbed, punched numerous times, and suffered various other indignities. In NEON PREY he and his fellow Marshals Bob and Rae are hot on the heels of a cannibal. Multiple bodies have been found in the yard of Clayton Deese, and the Marshals want to ask him some questions. Deese, however, is not cooperating.

When Lucas and Co. discover that the livers from the bodies are missing, and the barbeque grill from Deese’s house has been used, they realize that they are not looking for a typical run-of-the-mill killer. Bob, Rae, and Lucas share the spotlight equally, which is different from previous books. It almost seems as though Lucas is part of the supporting cast rather than the main character. Even his “cop talk” is secondary to that of Bob and Rae.

Las Vegas is a quirky setting that provides both sparkle and squalor. There is a section of the book where Deese and his crew hang out at a friend’s ramshackle trailer. As I read on, I could hear the banjos from “Deliverance” in the background – it was that eerie!

My thoughts on this one is that it’s a firm middle-of-the-road Prey novel. What stood out for me was that Davenport seems to be feeling his age (both mentally and physically) here. No spoilers; but I was not ready for some of the plot twists. Kudos to the author for keeping his characters human with relevant emotions.

Lucas, Bob, and Rae chase after Clayton Deese, a hardcore killer who eats his victims in this crime thriller. Traveling to L.A. and Las Vegas, the U. S. Marshals have several shootouts with Deese and his gang, but they always seem to get away - until they don't. Lucas suffers in this one but recovers well. Neon Prey is good action interlaced with humor—another winner for John Sandford. ( )

Deese was a thin man. He was fast, with ropy muscles, and mean, like an aggressive orangutan. His face was a skull, tight, sly, except where a half dozen wrinkles crossed his sunburnt forehead. He had black eyes and a nose that had been broken into angles like a lump of shattered pottery. He had a red-and-blue tattoo, on one shoulder of a wolf with a biker's head in its jaws and, on the other, a witchy Medusa in black ink, with spitting cobras for hair.
