What this book is about
A Black man and a white woman are found hanging from a tree in rural Minnesota — the apparent victims of a lynching. The case is immediately explosive. Lucas Davenport investigates a crime that has already been interpreted through a racial lens before the facts are known. Naked Prey is the fourteenth Lucas Davenport novel — Sandford's most explicitly race-conscious entry.
