A wealthy banker is dead, shot once in the chest during a hunting trip. There are many reasons for him to be killed, and many people who would do the deed. But who did? Lucas Davenport has an idea. But this routine murder investigation is about to turn into something different. A cat-and-mouse game with a killer who does not hesitate to take the fight to Lucas himself. And those he loves. . . .

"I love these books by John Sandford. I thought I'd quickly lose interest when I first read one of his books last summer, but it was so hard to put down. I plan on reading more of them. This book, like most of his others, Chief Davenport is an interesting character who is always digging to the core of the problems. He never thinks a case should be too easily solved, but seems to hate long cases. I was riveted by all the characters and thought he uses as they were all so well developed. Sandford does a good job of his characer development."

    " This one has some good twists, and there was indeed fall out from the last book. Sandford continues to churn these out without falling too heavily to the traps seen in a lot of genre fiction. "

    " While the first part of thid mystery is a bit confusing given that there are so many suspects, things start to make more sense as those same suspects become victims. Once the killer's identity is revealed, the real fun begins as this person is quite twisted and violent, and our hero, Lucas Davenport, is on to them. Explosive action mixed with a desperate search for a crazed killer make this a must summer read for fans of John Sandford and the murder mystery genre. "

    " OK...exiting and gripping as always. I am glad I have all of Sandford's books (recommended to me by my cousins Kenny and Ricky). SO FAR...they are every minute white-knuckled at the edge of your seat entertaining. I am reading the Prey series in order and I love the way the story evolves. I already have the next book out......!!!!!!! "

    " This book gives a whole new meaning to the old phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". A great book that unwinds decades of murders while investigating a recent hunting "accident". Fast Paced as one has come to expect with the Prey novels and very well written. Not a dull moment! "

    " Once again I wonder if some series should not be read straight through. A little time and the reading other books to clear the pallet may be needed to continue to enjoy the series. The series, in general, is not bad. But read too close together, they've become predictable. "

    " This one started off slowly for me. Maybe it was because I started reading it at the beginning of summer and I had other things on my mind. I was so busy that when I got back to the book, I had forgotten what I already read. But then it had me hooked about 3/4 of the way through til the end. "

    " Another road trip another Sanford book. If you have a problem with language then stay clear of his books. Big bursts of profanity just make me laugh, quickly forgotten. Sanford can really spin a yarn. Well written. "

    " A good cop story, where once the identity of the killer is known, there's still the possibility that s/he will get away with the crime. Good characters. It helps a little to have read some of the earlier books in the series, because some of those characters and situations are referred to here. "

    " I think so far of all the books by Sandford that I have read, this is the best one. The plot is great, lots of twists and a believable villain. The Lucas Davenport character surrounded by the supporting cast strikes again "

    " The main character, Lucas Davenport, is not as much of a badass as my usual detective thriller protagonist, Jack Reacher. However he is a smooth operator and I did not see Sanford's twist coming at all. A nice change from my usual Lee Child page burners. "
