“Chalk up another winner for [John Sandford] and his all-too-human hero” (Richmond Times-Dispatch) in the #1 New York Times bestselling Prey series. After one troubled college-age student disappears and two are found slashed to death, Lucas Davenport finds himself hunting what appears to be a modern-day Jack the Ripper. Unfortunately the clues aren’t adding up—and then there’s the young Goth girl who keeps appearing and disappearing. Where does she come from? Where does she go every night? And why does Lucas keep getting the sneaking suspicion that there is something else going on here? Something very bad, very dark, and as elusive as a phantom…

"I've read every book John Sandford has written. I buy them in hard cover because once I know he has a new one out I cannot wait for the paperback. Davenport, Flowers and Kidd are some of the most memorable antagonists you'll ever meet."

— Sean, 2/18/2014 -
" I've read nearly all of his Prey series, and this is one of the very best. A well-constructed plot that kept my interest and wonder to the very end. Very good and fast read that I really enjoyed. "

— Heather, 1/23/2014 -

— Temple, 1/22/2014 -
" For a man that has written over 20 novels, I was sorely disappointed. "
— Amanda, 1/20/2014 -
" Sandford always constructs a tight story, and this is another. Even after the 'mystery' is solved and you know who-dun-it, Sandford manages to add a couple unexpected twists. "
— Cindy, 1/9/2014 -
" Really enjoyed the character of Lucas Davenport. Good pacing. Was a little disappointed in the ending. I'll definitely read another of the Davenport mysteries. "

" Tried this author for the fist time . . . not a fan. "
— Andrea, 10/13/2013 -
" Just finished another one of Sandford's book. This one was not as entertaining to me as his previous ones and the ending was a bit of a let down in my opinion. Still I would recommed it :) "
— Kathryn, 9/24/2013 -
" Sooo gory! I don't like how graphic the murders are. But, the story is a good one, and I like the investigative part. "
— Terry, 8/29/2013 -
" Another great Sandford (Daverport) book. Strange story, but the characters more than make up for the story. "
— Ken, 8/10/2013 -
" Good read, but a little slow. A look into the Goth world with a murder mystery twist. Interesting. "
— Debbie, 7/26/2013 -
" Wavered between 2 and 3 stars, finally deciding on 2. Just didn't love the characters. For me, there was simply something missing. "
— Ida, 5/27/2013 -
" I occasionally turn to John Sandford for a good mystery, interesting new characters & a reconnection with Lucas Davenport whom I just like, for some reason. Didn't see the interesting twist coming, which is always a good thing. "
— Margaret, 5/1/2013 -
" Alittle predictable but I enjoyed the story and the villain was really good. "

— April, 9/3/2012 -
" A little twisted but entertaining. "
— Karl, 8/23/2012 -

" A real page turner, couldn't put it down. "
— Susan, 11/21/2011 -
" The most recent Prey book is wonderful but also a little different for Sandford, in that the person Lucas is looking for is pretty sympathetic and a little, well, goofy . . . "
— Fara, 8/26/2011 -
" Great series, written from the view point of the bad ass detective, Lucas Davenport... Kinda rough reading (lots of F#8@* Bombs) but I enjoy this series, keeps you guessing all the way through. "
— Judi, 8/9/2011 -
" Lucas Davenport ROCKS! I really enjoy the Prey series and Lucas is one of my favorite characters "
— James, 7/31/2011 -
" Sandford is a wonderful, engaging author. I have probably read 20 of his books. This is the least favorite of those that I have read. "
— Walter, 5/7/2011 -
" If you like John Sandford mysteries this is a good one and very different. "
— Laurie, 4/13/2011 -
" Acho os livros do Johnny Sandford ótimos pra passar o tempo. Neste, Lucas Davenport resolve 2 crimes/problemas ao mesmo tempo, o que torna o livro ainda mais legal. "
— adri, 3/30/2011 -
" As part of the continuing Lucas Davenport Series, this was a fun, quick read. I would normally give Sandford's books 4 or 5 stars as I usually really like the plot and the characters, but I found the main villains in Phantom Prey to be somewhat unbelievable and unrealistic. "
— Gary, 3/28/2011 -
" Wavered between 2 and 3 stars, finally deciding on 2. Just didn't love the characters. For me, there was simply something missing. "
— Ida, 2/7/2011 -
" This book was just ok, until the killer's identity was revealed. At that point, the entire story became ridiculous and I was sorry that I had wasted my time reading it. "
— Linda, 2/1/2011 -
" Richard Ferrone, as always, does a great job of narrating. I'd give this between a 3.5-4.0. Nothing too complicated, but fun to listen to. "
— Susan, 1/17/2011 -
" Love, love, love Sandford and the character of Lucas Davenport but generally, Sandford's first ten in the series are miles better than these later ones. <br/> <br/>Still, for a late season Davenport, this one's not half bad. And there's a short mention here of Kidd and LuEllen! "
— Richard, 11/4/2010 -
" Another police mystery set in Minneapolis. Sandford is a Cedar Rapids native. His books are light interesting mysteries. "
— Florence, 10/28/2010 -
" I loved this book and thought it was really awesome. A good mystery that was worth creating arguments with myself in my head about the ending – who the bad guy is. <br/> <br/>A great read. <br/> "
— Olivia, 10/15/2010 -
" I have read several of his "Prey" books. This is the first I thought was soo bad. "
— Connie, 10/13/2010
