A St. Paul art history professor who secretly photographs women and then kills them is John Sandford's villain in his new book "CHOSEN PREY." In the 12th book in a best-selling series, Sandford's detective hero, Lucas Davenport wrestles with his personal life even as he chases the serial killer through the Twin Cities. Sandford was a reporter for the St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper. He left journalism several years ago to begin writing the "Prey" books. Sandford told Minnesota Public Radio's Greta Cunningham sticking with the same main character though so many stories introduces some challenges.
