Started a bit slow for me. I almost put it down but the crime story intrigued me so I hung in there. Once I got past all the police politics surrounding a big case that involves big names and rich people, the story got much better. In fact once I was past the politics I couldn't put it down! The story was great and had a few twist and turns to keep me on my seat. Also being a gamer I loved the D&D references in it.

Not the strongest one, but a good solid Prey book, funny and suspenseful. So far, the only one made into a movie which I thought odd given the extra level of violence. There also seemed to be much more focus on the antagonist in this one than Lucas or the other police.

He knows Lucas Davenport's mind. His every move. His every weakness...

A Lucas Davenport novel. Lucas goes after a mental patient who has kidnapped a mother and 2 daughters. As it says on the cover, "Grip you by the throat thrills, a hell of a ride." Parts of it are intense and you don't want to put it down.

My favorite Prey novel yet, this edition gives you more of a cat-and-mouse game. Every small piece of this mystery could provide a break in the case - which makes this book always interesting and hard to stop reading. Unlike other Prey novels, fewer murders and more suspense.

"Run for it." It was raining when psychiatrist Andi Manette left the parent-teacher conference with her two young daughters, and she was distracted. She barely noticed the red van parked near her, barely noticed the van door slide open as they dashed to the car. The last thing she did notice was the hand reaching out for her and the voice from out of the past - and then the three of them were gone. Hours later, Deputy Chief Lucas Davenport stood in the parking lot, a bloody shoe in his hand, the ground stained pink around him, and knew, instinctively, that this would be one of the worst cases he'd ever been on. A man who could steal children . . . With an urgency born of dread, Lucas presses the attack, while in an isolated farmhouse, Andi Manette does the same, summoning all her skills to battle an obsessed captor. She knows the man who has taken her and her daughters, knows there is a chink in his armor, if only she can find it. But for both her and Davenport, time is already running out.
