Righteous Prey by John Sanford is a late 2022 publication in which both Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers team up to stop a team of serial killers. The killers, who refer to themselves as “The Five,” publish information about the killings on social medial, and they become media darlings. They are a group of very wealthy people who are bored with their lives and decide to entertain themselves by murdering “assholes,” people who they judge to be of negative value to society and who don’t deserve to share the air they breathe with other humans. They make untraceable bit coin donations to charities and victims of their targets. The Five chose one Minnesota person to kill, and that leads to the involvement of Davenport and Flowers. Perhaps the story is unbelievable, but I did get caught up in it.I rate Sanford as being a B to B+ author who is incredibly prolific, if not formulaic. It’s the 32nd book in the Prey Novel series. This is an “airplane” quality novel, meaning that it would entertain you on a cross country flight, but if you didn’t quite finish it and left it in the seatback pocket on the airplane, you probably wouldn’t race to by another copy just to read the ending.
