John Sandford Collection

From Wikipedia -

John Sandford, real name John Roswell Camp (born February 23, 1944) is an American novelist and former journalist.[1] Camp was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He received a Bachelor's in American History and a Master's in Journalism from the University of Iowa.[2]

From 1971 to 1978, Camp wrote for The Miami Herald. In 1978 he moved to Minneapolis and started writing for The Saint Paul Pioneer Press as a features reporter; in 1980 he became a daily columnist. That year he was a Pulitzer finalist for a series of stories on Native American culture.[3] In 1985, during the Midwest farm crisis, he wrote a series entitled "Life on the Land: an American farm family", which followed a typical southwest Minnesota farm family through the course of a full year. For that work he won the annual Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing[3] and the American Society of Newspaper Editors award for Non-Deadline Feature Writing. He cut back from full-time work with the Pioneer Press in 1989[4] and quit entirely next year.

Main Characters include

Lucas Davenport
Virgil Flowers
Kidd

And many others. A suggestion is to read each of the series starting from the first book through the last as characters develope and flow from one novel to the other.

What People Are Saying



From the Publisher
Praise for Field of Prey
“One of [Sandford’s] best. His writing and the appeal of his lead character are as fresh as ever. This author is a master writer and he pulls out all the stops to tell the latest adventure . . . For those who think they know everything they need to know about Lucas Davenport, this book proves them wrong. It also shows that Sanford still has some tricks up his sleeve when it comes to writing totally engrossing books. Sanford has always been at the top of any list of great mystery writers and this latest book shows why…It is one of his best and that makes it something really special.”—Huffington Post

“Consistently brilliant, Sandford shows the methodical steps inherent in such a case, without sacrificing plot, pacing or character.”—Cleveland Plain-Dealer

“Sandford seems to top himself with each new installment; the latest is no exception to that rule . . . It doesn’t get any better than Field of Prey. . . This is a series you must be reading if you are not already.”—bookreporter.com

“As always, Lucas and Sandford are superb . . . Another top-notch thriller destined for best-seller lists.”—Booklist (starred review)

“Suspenseful . . . Sandford has tricks to play to confound readers before the tension rises and leads to a violent and surprising conclusion.”—Publishers Weekly

“Intense.”—Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Silken Prey

“Sandford’s Davenport novels are always very good, and this is the best one in a long time. It’s suspenseful, witty, and wise in the ways of modern politics. And the conclusion is darkly unforgettable. A superb thriller.” —Booklist
