The "Prey" novels by Pulitzer prize-winning journalist John Sandford consistently make the best-seller lists, but they are not for the faint of heart. Featuring Minneapolis Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, these thrillers are raw, graphic, and impossible to put down. In Eyes of Prey, a depressed and unfocused Davenport takes on a macabre case, tracking down a serial killer who maims the eyes of his victims after he has murdered them.

"Eyes is the third book in a series about a cop in the northern mid-west of the US. Although most of the story lines begin in and around the Minneapolis-St Paul area of Minnesota, this policeman and colleagues travel all over the surrounding area. Over the years I have become a huge fan of this series due primarily to the development of the main character, Lucas Davenport. At this stage he is still young, street smart and in some cases, dangerous to those he hunts for justice. Eyes is a thrilling story of Lucas"s hunt for a serial killer before he kills again. "

— Kirkus Reviews" This is the second time I'm reading this book (3-1-96). I'm on a Lucas Davenport kick...thanks to Andrea. lol "
— Therese, 2/14/2014" I read this one a long time ago and just reread it. Great twist at the very end, but not one of my favorites. "
— David, 2/9/2014" The creepiest of all the prey books. "
— Rob, 2/8/2014" After awhile, most police/crime thrillers start to seem to be quite similar. There's no doubt that John Sandford is a talented writer and among the best in his genre. This one was enjoyable and entertaining, but there was nothing that caused it to stand out. "
— Tom, 2/4/2014" This is my third Lucas Davenport book. I was a little worried because I really enjoyed the first one but got a little bored with the second one. I am happy to say that I enjoyed this one just as much as the first one. It is a good crime story which sucked me in from the start. I had a hard time putting it down because I wanted to know what was coming next. I recommend this book to anyone interested in crime stories. "
— Tom, 2/3/2014" Excellent read. His first three Lucas Davenport books have gotten progressively better. "
— Ralph, 2/1/2014" Glad I stuck with this series. I didn't care for #2. Book #3 was awesome and I can't wait to read #4. "
— Tami, 1/28/2014" Sanford is always a good read, but I wasn't sure I was going to like this one as much as the previous in the series. Boy was that wrong, I loved it. We got a more intimate look at Lucas and the twists and turns were terrific. The ending, wow, didn't see that coming. Can't wait to continue the journey. "
— Ally, 1/25/2014" Best villian so far in the Prey books. "
— Rose, 1/13/2014" with this book i right away bought the other prey series... "
— Coby, 1/3/2014" This is the 3rd Lucas Davenport book I've read, and somehow it was really hard to get into. It was good in the end, and had a nice semi-twist, but was very dark overall compared to the first 2 books in the series. "
— Colette, 12/25/2013" A series of books with good characters and good plots. The "hero" is not always the good guy and yet you still root for him "
— Marylu, 12/20/2013" This is the third Lucas Davenport mystery. I am getting to like him as a character. He is a little edgy, motivated, and 'grey.' he is good and bad and tries to be righteous. The bad guy in this one is bad, but kind of fake too. A fun and good but not great read. "
— Matt, 12/19/2013" I've read pretty much all of John Sanfords crime stories. I like them because they're a fast read and they are set in the Twin Cities. They are dramatic and entertaining. "
— Erin, 12/4/2013" Michael Becker is one of the coolest villains I've found in fiction. His compulsions to kill and destroy the eyes of his victims, otherwise they haunt his dreams. Too cool! "
— M., 11/22/2013" Very enjoyable, excellent for its genre. "
— Hermien, 11/13/2013" The epilogue was terrific. I can't give it away, but it was a surprise for me. I bumped my rating up a notch just for that. This Sandford can really spin a story. "
— Robert, 11/2/2013" I read the first 3 books in the Lucas Davenport series and loved them. "
— Bill, 10/18/2013" I love this whole series, and this one adds some extra edge. "
— AJ, 8/28/2013" I never tire of his writing. I have read every book he has written. "
— Herbert, 6/20/2013" Rather unbelievable but I couldn't put it down. "
— Paulette, 5/28/2013" First Lucas Davenport novel that I've read. Really like the fact that Davenport is smart but flawed. Will keep reading the series. "
— Mcurry336, 5/19/2013" This book is not for the faint of heart. I continue with the series more to see what will come of Lucas Davenport. "
— Angela, 9/14/2012" lucas davenport is so addicting! "
— Audrey, 8/27/2012" I really enjoy John Sanford's "Prey" series of crime novels and highly recommend them. "
— Karen, 8/24/2012" Not my sort of book. It's based on the desire to watch and understand a pyscho killer. No thanks. "
— James, 5/30/2012" Really liked it, probably go ahead and read the next in the series. "
