Fiction writer

In 1989, Camp wrote two novels that would each spawn a popular series. The Fool's Run (Kidd series) is published in its own name, but the publisher asks him to give a pseudonym for the Rules of Prey (Prey series) so that it is published under the name "John Sandford". After the Prey series proved more popular, with the charismatic protagonist Lucas Davenport, The Fool's Run and all subsequent sequels have been published under John Sandford.

Lucas Davenport

Lucas Davenport is the protagonist of the "Prey" series. In the first three novels, he was a maverick detective with the Minneapolis Police Department, an independent lieutenant, running a network of street contacts. At the end of Eyes of Prey, he was forced to resign to avoid excessive charges of power, in part because of his knowledge of the relationship of a senior police officer in the case. He is back on Night Prey as Vice Chairman (political rapture), running his own intelligence unit. Starting with Naked Prey, Davenport is the investigator for the Minnesota Department of Security Crime Bureau of Minnesota, who sometimes acts as a special problem solver for the Minnesota governor in politically sensitive cases. He served in that capacity through Gathering Prey at the end of which he stopped working for BCA, then became the US Marshal. He is known for his unorthodox and manipulative behavior as a detective, reminiscent of Harry's "Filthy Harry". He is not a leader, but a loner working with a small circle of capable and straightforward police friends.

Novel Mind Prey is sold for TV movies, and Davenport is described by Eriq LaSalle. Another of the novels, Specific Prey , was adapted into a movie in 2011 by the USA Network starring Mark Harmon as Davenport.

Description

Davenport is portrayed as a tall, lean, broad-kitten man with a "permanent tan" that gives his blue eyes a good expression, contrary to a predator's "cold" smile, especially a wolf. Davenport has a face marked with a fine scar from his hairline to the right corner of his mouth (caused by a fishing accident) that gives him "cold air" as well as "innocent touches, like Errol Flynn in < i> Blood Captain "( Rules of Predators ). In Davenport's first book, the hero is described as "lean and dark-skinned, with straight black hair turned gray in his temples and long nose over a crooked smile.One of his middle upper incisors has been peeled off and he has never had it covered. probably an Indian except his blue eyes. "His teeth peeled off during an ice hockey game in his youth. His amateur career has reached its peak as a front-line lawyer for Golden Gophers from the University of Minnesota. Davenport has suffered several bullet wounds and knives during his career, and permanently tan no more.

Davenport is wise, has an extensive contact network amongst all walks of life in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Louis. Paul and sometimes find solutions to criminal investigations by thinking like a criminal. He is also skilled at using computers and other information technology resources. In recent years as a senior officer of the State Police Bureau, he has been able to request the services of some specialized research professionals. Beyond these things, he was lucky, a characteristic mentioned in more than one book.

He is not above passing the law and accepts the procedure for moving the case forward. He even uses news media contacts to divulge secrets to scare off criminal suspects or motivate senior officials who are slow. Unexpected civilian deaths sometimes result from this scheme. Davenport is a police celebrity, has shot and killed many suspects in running duties. Regardless of the deaths caused in a spontaneous shootout, Davenport has been suspected - appropriately - of engineering some of the results so the death of a scoundrel is almost certain. Unusual for a police officer, he has more than once been the target of assassination attempts by criminals; many of his contacts in the media considered him a good interview, but the editors constantly criticized his violence. Davenport did not hesitate to kill the helpless villain who did not threaten him. In the first Davenport novel, Rules of Prey, he created a mechanical device to create the illusion that he was in a gunbattle when he killed Louis Vullion, aka "the Maddog", a villain in that. He did not want Vullion to die painlessly. It was the murder of his sixth policeman. Total today is ten. While Davenport is considered a lucky man, it is a remarkable thing that any criminal who wants to hurt him can find his home and attack him, even though he does not have a pay phone list.

Davenport is independently wealthy, has achieved first success through the creation of Dungeons & amp; Play a Dragons-style role. He started and then sold his own software company that first created personal computer games for private users, and then, emergency simulations to train police and other emergency workers. She wears clothing, European cut outs, and drives a private Porsche 911 and Nissan or van on duty. Nissan seems to have been replaced recently by the Lexus SUV. Originally, he was portrayed as a grief-stricken, father of a daughter, Sarah, out of wedlock from running affairs with blond television reporter Jennifer Carey. Sarah lives with her mother and stepfather, and Davenport often visits her. As the series progressed, Davenport settled and eventually married a high-paying maxillofacial surgeon, Karkinnen, who in Winter Prey had saved his life with an emergency tracheotomy after he was shot. The couple had a son, Samuel Kalle Davenport, called Sam in the novel, and at Buried Prey. Karkinnen progressed in pregnancy with a girl. Living with Davenports is Letty West, a teenage girl who once met at Naked Prey. Lucas and Weather officially adopted Letty in 2008 near the time of the Republican nominating convention that year, an event that led to Davenport's investigation in detail, and he later changed his name to Letty Davenport.

Prior to that, however, Davenport had many sexual encounters with suspects, casualties and officers, including Detective Sergeant Marcy Sherrill, subordinate, and Lily Rothenburg, a detective lieutenant from the New York Police Department. With Buried Prey, Sherrill has replaced Davenport as chief detective in Minneapolis, and Davenport is nearing his 50th birthday. At the end of Wicked Prey (2009), she and Weather adopted Letty, now 14 and a television reporter aspired to by Jennifer Carey - Davenport's longtime lover, and mother of Sarah.

Davenport has a reputation as a "gun freak" ( Rules of Prey ) and at the beginning the series has thirteen - a 9mm H & amp; K P7 with 13-round magazines, 9mm Beretta 92F, a.25 small automatic from unspecified make that he wears on ankle-socks as a hiding weapon, two Colt Gold Cups.45 ACP competition pistols, three.22 pistols (Ruger Mark II, a Browning International Medalist and a left bolt) -operated Anschutz Exemplar) and four restored (thus unrampable) street weapons including the Charter Weapon. In the flashback section of Buried Prey Davenport carries a Glock pistol (probably Glock 17) as his pistol while in uniform and Smith & amp; Wesson Model 40 revolver in plain clothes. In Rules of Prey , Davenport uses one of his street weapons, Smith & amp; Wesson Model 39, to make the justification of self-defense to execute serial killer Louis Vullion.

Other Lucas weapons include the Browning Citori rifle above and below 20,.243 caliber rifles from the unknown make and model ( Chosen Prey ) and Colt Magnum Carry.357 ( Naked Prey ). In the previous two books, Rules of Prey & amp; Shadow Prey The standard gun is P7, but in Eyes of Prey he then adopts, 45 Smith & amp; Wesson unstated model; he defended P7 as a "makeup weapon" for not being on duty. In Silent Prey , he uses the Colt Gold Cup as his pistol while in New York. On certain Prey the usual weapons are customized.45 Colt Gold Cup, taken with empty space; something that gives him trouble when his left arm is in a cast. In Invisible Prey , he has a cache that contains: two "cold" guns with magazines, homemade silencers that do not fit his weapon (he keeps intending to throw it away, but never did), old tin sap and leather artificial, hydraulic door spreaders from a break-in site, $ 5,000 in $ 20 in paper envelopes, amphetamine pill bottles, surgical glove boxes and key battery braking. In the Buried Prey cache contains at least a rake along with a key "bump" ring, a small crowbar, a pair of white cotton garden gloves and LED headlamp. By the he obtained, and using, a removable magazine, the Beretta shotgun model was not revealed, probably M3P. On Stolen Prey Lucas uses a 9mm Beretta 92F as his main gun, probably because he has a cast on his left arm and that would cause problems if he needs to insert the shell into his customized.45 Colt Gold Cup. He switched back to his custom.45 Colt Gold Cup in his next book, Silken Prey .

In Twenty-eight book, Twisted Prey, Davenport used sidearm again, this time to the Walther PPQ pistol at.40 S & amp; W. He also owns, but does not use, 0.40 Glock of a model issued for the Marshall Service, possibly a Glock 22 or 23. He does not usually carry a secondary firearm or spare or ordinary Marshals Service telescopic stick.

Letty himself has two (known) weapons, both.22 rifles. One is the Harrington single-shot & amp; Richardson in.22 Short and others, bought for him by Lucas after H & amp; R was seized by police after Letty's biological mother was killed by a crooked cop, who was shot by Letty before fleeing, a Remington pump action action. 22 Long Rifle. At Buried Prey he and Lucas practice shooting along with Colt and Beretta pistols. In Stolen Prey Letty uses Lucas' customized.45 Colt Gold Cup to kill two people will be a killer.

Personal

Born and raised Catholic, Davenport has a strong interest in reading, poetry and war games. As the series progresses, Davenport shows a number of anxiety disorders, including mood depression and chronic fear flying on fixed wing aircraft. She received psychological help from a professionally trained nun as a counselor, whom she knew as a local friend when they were both children. The nun sometimes offered him profiles of unknown criminals in his early books.

Davenport calls itself "mostly Democrats". She has four children: Sarah (with reporter Jennifer Carey), Sam (with Weather Karkinnen surgeon), Letty (adopted after her mother's assassination) and a newborn daughter, Gabrielle, with Weather.

The author of "Prey" John Sandford told The New York Post in June 2002 that he first thought of Davenport as a sociopath: "He has a problem with women, even when he is in a relationship he will [ ] some ladies, but then he changes, softens... I want him to have a happy ending I do not want him to be a bitter and lonely man. "

In September 2004, he told the Budapest newspaper VasÃÆ'¡rnapi HÃÆ'rek : "I always thought of him as a kind of slightly curved sociopath.Of course, Davenport changed a lot throughout the story, he became more calm... "Later, the less talkative young Davenport is shown as a married man because" I want to show that Davenport is capable of loving and not just collecting women, as in the beginning.
