"Relatively fast-paced. A bit less gruesome than his other books. Enjoyed the personalities of his daughter and the psychotic man she was tracking in addition to the series of robberies in the main plot."

— Amy (4 out of 5 stars)

    " The last few Prey novels have been so-so and a bit far fetched. I enjoyed this one a lot more. It had a crisp new feel and the only thing that seemed unreal was the storyline with Letty as a dectective who worked the scene on her bike! I loved the political angle and thought it was an entertaining read. "
