Who is Lucas Davenport from Silent Prey and what is their importance? Silent_Prey English & Literature Lucas Davenport | Silent Prey

Davenport is a cop's cop: tough, smart, intuitive, and not afraid of a fight. Presumably in the last Davenport novel, all he wanted was to retire and lead an easier life. He has undoubtedly been in lots of tough situations, and has had to make life and death decisions, both for himself and others. Sarah and Jen, his daughter and ex-wife, are distant figures in his life. He lives at his lake house, formerly his sanctuary but now more like his prison. Davenport does not necessarily miss being a cop, but he misses the chase: he is a hunter, and is good at tracking people down. Though he has a successful business, lovely home, and seemingly everything he could want, he is lonely. He is bored.
