John Sandford: Night Prey (UK 2019)

From the Publisher:
A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford
He was the best at what he did. A chameleon, invisible... uncatchable. For how could you catch an invisible man?

After a two-year break, Lucas Davenport is back on the force and his first job is dealing with state investigator Meagan Connell. Determined to prove a link between a series of particularly brutal attacks on women, Meagan is struggling to be taken seriously. The cops are wary of her, the public thinks she's too political, the feminists thinks she's sold out.

But the more Lucas looks into it, the more he suspects that Meagan is right to fear the worst. Somewhere out there, spying on his unknowing victims at their most intimate moments, lurks a killer of unusual skill and savagery - and he's only just getting warmed up.

John Sandford: Night Prey (USA 1995)

From the Publisher:
It was a very cold, very clear morning in the Carlos Avery game reserve - cold enough to preserve the body lying there, clear enough so the state investigator couldn't miss it. There was something familiar about the stab wounds, she thought - but the Minneapolis police dismissed her theories, and the city's new police chief has problems enough of her own. The cops are wary of her, the public thinks she's too political, the feminists think she's sold out. And this damn murder just won't go away. Caught in the middle, the chief turns to Lucas Davenport for help, and reluctantly, he agrees. Still recovering from his near-fatal wounds of the year before, trying for once in his life to settle down with one woman, Lucas has his own concerns, but something about this murder, and another like it - the body found in a dumpster this time - teases him, and the more he looks into them, the more he's sure the investigator is right. There is something disconcertingly familiar about the wounds not only in these two cases, but just maybe in several others as well. Somewhere out there lurks a killer of unusual skill and savagery. And if Lucas is right, he's just getting warmed up...
