Field of Prey

Here, the illustrious investigator Lucas Davenport is beckoned to the scene of a crime, as daunting as it is chilling. A putrid air hangs heavy as Davenport’s seasoned eyes fall upon a veritable graveyard; a cistern, buried deep beneath the earth, in which the bodies of numerous missing women lie. Each victim, taken from the night and discarded like a broken doll, adds weight to a mystery which threatens to consume not just Davenport, but the very soul of the small town of Northfield.

Lucas Davenport, masterful in the art of detection and relentless in his pursuit of justice, peels back layer upon layer of darkness, revealing a malevolent plot as twisted as the souls of those behind it. The shadows cast by the ghastly revelations bear witness to the fervor with which Davenport tackles the case, even as the tendrils of evil snake around him, daring him to plunge deeper into the abyss.

As the secrets in the cistern threaten to swallow the town whole, the cast of characters that surrounds Davenport dances on the edge of the abyss. R-A, a mysterious hacker, helps unravel the digital threads entwined in the case. Marcy Sherrill, a steadfast detective, fights her own battle, woven with strength and vulnerability. Del Capslock, a detective and ally of Davenport, adds depth and a sense of camaraderie that binds them together in their pursuit. The interplay between the characters is as intoxicating as the mystery itself.

The malevolent winds whisper names and secrets long since buried. Davenport’s mettle is put to the ultimate test as he confronts not just a killer but a brooding darkness that looks back at him, challenging the very essence of justice.

And through it all, the voice of Richard Ferrone provides the auditory compass by which the listener navigates. Ferrone’s seasoned timbre proves to be the guiding light, a lantern in the dark just like in Glorious Appearing and The Fountains of Silence.
