Publisher Description
A New York Times bestseller!
Lucas Davenport returns in the most harrowing and unexpected Prey novel yet—the story of a congenial man, and his most uncongenial obsession...
Art history professor James Qatar’s hobby was taking secret photographs of women. At night when he was all alone he’d dream about them and indulge his fantasies. Then one day his fantasy went too far. Now it’s Qatar’s turn to become an obsession—of Davenport’s. And for both men there’s no turning back.

"I am remembering some of the background story line because it has been a long time since I read the other books in this series. This one was ok, not much of a mystery, more of suspense. I want to complete the rest of the series over time. I do cringe at some of the language and sex scenes."
— Judith (4 out of 5 stars)

" I would recommend the book but after listening to Richard Ferrone in most of the other books, I think he more captures the characters. "
— Denise, 10/23/2019 -
" Best Lucas Davenport book yet! Just could not put this one down. "
— Keith, 2/8/2014 -
" This Lucas Davenport thriller from Sandford focuses on a serial killer who leaves creepy nude portraits of his women before killing them. A chance find leads the police to the killer's graveyard in the woods as they try to find "the artist" before he kills again. Some nice action and a couple of good twists and turns. Not the best in the series but not the worst. "
— Lee, 2/7/2014 -
