For three books, critics and readers have hailed John Sandford as a born storyteller.--The San Diego Union. Here, in his fourth Lucas Davenport novel, Sandford continues the story of the brilliant, insane pathologist of Eyes of Prey. Doctor Death continues his experiments, searching the eyes of his dying victims for what they can reveal.
A killer from one of Sandford's earlier books, Eyes of Prey, escapes. He's quickly back in business and isn't easy to find. Silent Prey brings the reader and Minneapolis Police Investigator, Lucas Davenport, to New York City in the hopes of finding serial killer Michael Becker. While there, Davenport is also asked to look into some serious police corruption within the department. An exciting addition to the Lucas Davenport series. Read Eyes of Prey first and follow it up with Silent Prey.
Davenport's Revenge

Way to go Davenport AND your love interest survived this time! Maybe the Davenport curse regarding relationships with women has been lifted? Like "Eyes of Prey" finished this one in two evenings also. Overheard a woman in our local bookstore tell the clerk that her mother had read all of Sandford's book and I can see why she read the whole series. Sandford is like popcorn, once you start his books are hard to put down.
John Sanford is phenomenal, the "Prey" is the best ever!!!!!

As an avid "Prey" fanatic I can truthfully tell you that this is an awesome book, in an awesome series, written by an awesome writer. If you're into serial killers, man hunts, graphic depiction, then this book and series are for you. When you finish the "Prey" series check out "The Night Crew" you won't be disappointed.
Great Book (but Read Eyes of Prey First!)

Great book, in a great series by a great author. I've read the whole Prey series but found this book a bit "graphic". So if you have a weak stomach, try another Prey book first. Course this book IS about a serial killer, so if you have a weak stomach, what are U doing here anyway? Keep up the good work Mr. Sandford!!
Dr. Bekker Is Back . . . Great Read!

The best to date in John Sandford's "Prey" series! Lucas Davenport's original nemesis, Dr. Michael Bekker, is back after escaping from custody and is back to his old tricks! Sandford's ability to keep his books in your hands (I took it to work with me one day!) never falters. I was actually disappointed when the book ended; I wanted to read more! I'm a big fan of the "Prey" series anyway, but I'd recommend this one to any mystery fan. A word of warning: if you buy this one, you may as well buy the rest of the series. You'll be back at the bookstore within the week!
