This week at Gilpin Library

Pulitzer Prize winner John Sandford is back with his twenty-third “Prey” novel. This one is called Silken Prey, and features, as usual, Minnesota investigator Lucas Davenport. The governor calls Lucas in to set him on a case involving a conservative Republican politician who is embroiled in child pornography charges, which could be trumped up for political gains. In the midst of his investigation another politico goes missing, and suddenly we’re on the road to murder, scandal, espionage, and “an extremely dangerous woman.” Reading Sandford is a lot like riding a roller coaster, with twists and turns, and at some point something resembling freefall. Stephen King writes: “If you haven’t read Sandford yet, you have been missing one of the great summer-read novelists of all time.”
