In the Prey series, Davenport has been Flowers' boss over the years in the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, but now Davenport is working for the US Marshall Service. Davenport has always been the protagonist of the Prey novels, with Flowers as a relatively minor character. Then several years ago the author decided to give Flowers his own books, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The differences in approach between Davenport and Flowers are striking, but the friendship and respect between them is great. Personally I wish Sandford would write a book about two other cops, Shrake and Jenkins, Davenport's "enforcers" in Minnesota. A couple of interesting dudes.
