ANHOW Review of Books:"Mind Prey" by John Sandford

Length: 354 pages, paperback
Published: 1995 br Berkley
Genre: police/thriller

This is the seventh in a series of novels featuring Lucas Davenport, a tough police detective in Minnesota. It is the third and definitely the best that I have read in the series.

Davenport is more than a detective, he also designs role-playing and computer simulation games, a hobby that blossomed into a multi-million dollar business. The twist in this plot is that the bad guy is a psycho who happens to love role-playing games. He kidnaps one of his former therapists to fulfill some of his twisted fantasies and then gets a bigger thrill when he discovers that the designer of some his favorite games is on the case. (Imagine a D&D player matching wits against Gary Gygax and you've got the scenario)

This is really quite a good thriller - it was very difficult to put the book down while reading the last 75 pages. This one earns an "A-"
