You can find them way down at the bottom of the page, but clicking on a footnote number will take you straight there. An interesting, if probably failed, experiment. On the plus side, this book doesn't relegate Lucas to a secondhand character like Certain Prey did. On the other hand, it over compensates so much that while Lucas is at the forefront of the novel, the entire plot goes backstage. On the other hand, if you're a huge Lucas fan and don't much care about the plot or mystery, this is the book for you.
More space is given over to witty cop dialogue and relationship matters than to the actual case.
So if you're wondering about Lucas' personal life, this book will satisfy your wondering. And little else. A Very Long Book Easy Prey is far and away the longest Prey novel. The typical installment is around 90,000 words or so, but this one comes in at a whopping 105,000. And amazingly, it might have ended up even longer .
