65-2

La cordura del teniente Davenport casi se hizo añicos por dos investigaciones de asesinato. Ahora, se enfrenta a algo peor... dos asesinatos. Uno horriblemente cicatrizado. El otro, sorprendentemente guapo, un maestro manipulador fascinado con todos los aspectos de la muerte. El espejo oscuro del alma de Davenport... Este es el caso que devolverá la vida a Davenport. O lo empujará al límite.

"Night Prey" has intense contrast: the coming together family-life of Davenport and Winter vs the coming apart life of Meagan Connell, who has terminal cancer and wants the killer before she dies. The tension in "Night Prey" is driven like the Davenport's jaguar. ( )
