Publisher Description
In Eyes of Prey, Bekker, an insane pathologist who experiments with his patients' pain thresholds, is finally brought down by an unrelenting Lucas Davenport, who brutally maims the doctor's beautiful face but leaves him alive. "You should have killed me," were Bekker's parting and prophetic words. In this sequel to Eyes of Prey, Bekker endures the indignities and horrors of imprisonment, taking comfort in the fact that it is only a matter of time before he will make Lucas Davenport pay.

"This is the 4th of the Prey series, and Lucas travels to New York City to assist the NYPD in tacking down the slasher killer from Eyes of Prey after his escape from a supposedly secure facility. While he's in New York, he is drawn into tracking down a vigilante group of cops who are stretching the "law in their own hands" to a higher and more dangerous level. It is an excellent thriller, with humor and real life situations thrown into the mix. "

Quotes
-
“Sleek and nasty…the pages turn quickly.”
— St. Paul Pioneer Press -
“As the momentum gathers, readers will speed through the surprise twists and confrontations of the last chapters…The story never drags and Sandford delivers his usual punch.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Silent Prey terrifies almost as a matter of course. Sandford is a blunt, effective, nuts-and-bolts kind of writer, and Bekker is pretty much everything fictional terror should embody…There are some genuinely chilling moments here, just right for fans of The Silence of the Lambs.”

" Hmmm...sequel to Eyes of Prey. I'm glad they finally got him!! (I don't really think this is giving anything away by saying that...) "
— Jill, 2/19/2014 -
" This is the first book that I have read in the Lucas Davenport series. Very graphic in the victim descriptions. Dr. Bekker, Davenport's nemesis, is a very sick pathologist. Dialogue, used by both the detectives and the criminal element, can be strong at times, characteristic of the world in which these people operate. "
— Len, 2/18/2014 -
" Mr. Sandford's books can be interesting and he tosses in a joke here or there. Sadly, every book reveals the criminal rather early. It's rarely a 'who-did-it?' Lucas Davenport is getting rather old and drinks horrible beer. "
— Lynne, 2/9/2014 -
" The suspense was thrilling until the very end. Character development and scenery details were descriptive but not obtrusive. It was the right amount to paint the scene, but keep the action moving. I was so riveted, I almost completed the book in an evening and it doessn't look like the book has ever been opened. "
— Brent, 2/8/2014 -
" In this follow up to Eyes of Prey Davenport is called up to New York to assist Lilly in locating the escaped convict Bekker. While in New York Davenport has a nagging feeling something isn't right. Although this book didn't keep me on the edge of my seat, like Eyes of Prey, I did enjoy the continuation of the characters and the plot was decent enough to hold my attention. I enjoyed the fact that the cat and mouse game was more in the background of the novel and that other issues made up the foreground. "
— Deborah, 1/11/2014 -
" I just finished this one I had a hard time putting it down, there is one I should have read first though, I think it is eyes of prey. "
— Jennilyn, 1/9/2014 -
" My first book of the prey series...loved the characer of Lucas n the rest of the characters too....gud read... "
— Summi, 1/7/2014 -
" This was a fast read and only a little fun. Lucas is in NYC to catch Bekker and to help the nypd find a vigilante. It is a little 'complicated' and the bad guys aren't very well fleshed out. At the end Lucas just sort of has to explain everything. Only so-so. "
— Matt, 1/4/2014 -
" Another good mystery with a great ending. Not quite as terrific as Eyes of Prey, but pleasantly surprising all the same. I'm getting to like Lucas. He's quite the complex guy. Onward and upward to the next case. "
— Robert, 12/31/2013 -
" Another good read in the Lucas Davenport series, but definitely not up to par with the other three I've read by John Sandford. Will be starting the next book in he series soon. "
— Mtafc, 11/29/2013 -
" Another successful thriller by John Sanford! I'd like to get all of his Lucas Davenport books read! "
— Patrick, 11/24/2013 -
" A continuation of Eyes of Prey that wraps things up nicely. "
— Fran, 11/19/2013 -
" Loved it..brilliantly written,a page turner. "
— Anne, 11/14/2013 -
" All of John Sanford's novels are dark and graphic. "
— Teresa, 6/30/2013 -
" Another trip, another audio book. I enjoyed this. Good strong characters and a surprise ending. Not for everyone. "
— Cathy, 6/26/2013 -
" WAY TOO GORY! Couldn't get past page 40 "
— Ann, 5/2/2013 -

— Todd, 4/30/2013 -
" I really enjoy John Sanford's Prey series. His characters are real and they grow with each book. "
— Deb, 4/10/2013 -
" Good for a Lucas Davenport novel. I'll continue to read the series. "
— Laurie, 4/7/2013 -
" Scary book series - I can't read this at night! "
— Kim, 3/25/2013 -
" Just writing up brief one-liner reviews for these makes me weary. but I really did enjoy reading them. "
— Kaethe, 2/19/2013 -
" So disturbing and the twist at the end will blow your mind. "
— Victoria, 11/25/2012 -
" All of the prey books ruled!Every last one of them.If you like self-help,feel-good books,then go get yourself a low-fat double whipped espresso and go read Bambi,or some similarly distasteful non-violent drivel,and leave the good stuff for me to read! "
— Bnschmid, 9/26/2012 -
" Continuing the pursuit of evil Bekker from Eyes of Prey. "
— Beth, 7/11/2012 -
" I like John Sandford-s dialogue and his characters but his plots suck. Boring, boring, boring. His psychotic killers also leave a lot to be desired, like the same depth and complexity that he gives his cops. I could have liked this better but didn`t. "
— Dennis, 7/9/2012 -
" This one was back to my kind of book. In this one he travels to New York to catch the killer who got away. "
— Laura, 6/15/2012 -
" Ran just a little long and the layers upon layers of who the bad guys really were ran a bit too much, but I enjoyed it. "
