This was an interesting one for me! I read it in high school when I was in a "Must read everything in site phase" My brother left it laying around and I was in between books...... Anyway, I read the whole series and was dying to go back and reread them. (They were on my Xmas list and when I didn't get them, I had to jion PBS!) But I digress...it took me a few days to start reading it when I got it, like I was afraid it wouldn't live up to my own hype! Well, it did. Two days and I can't wait to go on to the next one. Full of characters you love, while still questioning their choices and lifestyle. The antagonist is a truly scary piece of work, but the humor throughout makes it a book that truly plays on all of your emotios!

Berkley 1990 printing with a different cover. This is not a story for a quiet lonely night or a reader with a vivid imagination. There is a terrifying force to this writers ability to encapture the nightmare quality of criminal intent and the deadly force used by the inhumane against their weaker brothers. But if you want a gripping fast paced literary rollercoaster ride into heartpounding excitement, this is the book for you.

A great book to start with, as my wife would agree. Excellent way to start the prey series!

This is where Lucas Davenport started. Good start and introduction to a decent character. Many changes happen in future books--so far the series is worth reading. This books has an excellent villain, good tone and well paced. A good read but may seem a little dated to new readers of the series.

This was really great. Incredibly exciting and fast paced. I enjoyed every moment. I was almost convinced at one point that Davenport was not going to get the bad guy, and it was really fascinating seeing how they figured it all out and finally got the evil doer.

For some this terrifying thriller might be a five. It is not my kind of book but Stephen King loved it.It is a serial killer story that will make you get out of bed to see if you locked your door.

My first John Sandford. Great writing with some gasping moments.Looking forward to continuing the "Prey" series.As a fan of Cornwell, Reichs and Patterson..This was comparable..a really good read!

I'm now addicted to The "Prey" series of books!! I have such a crush on Lucas!!

Very good book. If the rest are anywhere near as good as this one I'll read them all.

enjoyed this book

Everything you could want in a detective versus serial killer thriller. I couldn't stop reading!

Great!!!

Lucas is at it again. This is such a great series. Must read.

A good suspenseful, crime thriller. The featured detective can be both larger than life and fallibly human. This book can be crass at times.

3 stars out of 5

Another great book by Sandford.

Very good read!
