"Book 8 in the Lucas Davenport Prey series. This is a departure from the usual "identify the killer" aspect of the series. In this installment, an escaped convict is seeking revenge on Davenport and his team. Solid storytelling. Decent action."

" I love all the Prey books because Lucus Davenport is a Detective in Minneapolis which is my home town. "

" good ...would recommend.....relatives of officers were being murdered. "
— Carole, 2/18/2014 -
" My favorite of the Sandford books, as it has the best study of the friendship between Lucas and Del. "
— Fara, 2/8/2014 -
" A tale of revenge. The most interesting thing about this installment is Weather's development and her (and our) growing understanding of what Lucas is. But, it will take another book or two before I can get an idea as to whether Sandford is going to take advantage of the groundwork he lays in this one. Or will this turn out like a bad 80s sitcom - where everything is neatly resolved in one installment and there's no carry over for the characters (like when Alex gets addicted to speed in Family Ties, but after 22 minutes and a good long nap POOF no more addiction). "

" Love the whole series - but start with the first book ...Rules of Prey "
— Barbara, 1/16/2014 -
" Don't know why, but I didn't like this one as much as the previous book, Mind Prey. I know I will finish the series, but I think the characters in this book reminded me of a previous prey book and I didn't really care for the bad guys. "
— Jill, 1/13/2014 -

" This is one of my favorites since the first few I read. Big thumbs up for finally mixing up the plot a little. Wish they would have stretched out the relationship drama a bit more. "
— Amanda, 3/2/2009 -
" I got this as book on tape and just could not get into it. After about 3 disc's I called it quits. I think that the action was paced kinda funny and the characters were pretty lame. Just not my cup of tea. "
— Seestars, 12/30/2007 -
" great action from beginning to end "
