Synopsis

The Prey novels by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Sandford consistently makes the best-seller lists, but they are not for the faint of heart. Featuring hardcore Minneapolis Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, these thrillers are raw, graphic, and impossible to put down.

In Eyes of Prey, a depressed and unfocused Davenport takes on a macabre case, tracking down a serial killer whose attacks are focused on the eyes of his victims. With all of his current inner turmoil, Davenport isn't sure that he should accept the case when he hears about the murder of Stephanie Bekker, the wife of a prominent physician. But when a second woman dies, her face cruelly maimed like the first, he feels that clutching intensity of interest that means he is involved whether he wants to be or not.

About John Sandford

American author, John Sanford (a pseudonym of John Roswell Camp) wrote thirty-five novels, all of which are on the New York Times bestsellers list in one way or another. He was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1944, where he spent much of his time with his Lithuanian grandparents. Their home was very primitive with an outside outhouse and a subsistence garden. Life was work centered on the farm with hay being bailed each summer to feed the various farm animals. Fruit trees were also in abundance on their property. It was a good place to grow up.

Camp won the Pulitzer Prize in journalism, and also won the Distinguished Writing Award of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. He also wrote two non-fiction books. The Eye and the Heart: The Water Colors of John Stuart Ingle, and Plastic Surgery: The Kindest Cut.

Camp was married to Susan Lee Jones, and has two children. Susan died in May 2007 of metastasized breast cancer, and he married again in 2013 to Michele Cook, a journalist and screenwriter. Camp is a dedicated painter and photographer also. He, however, does not show his paintings.

Camp's most prolific work is the Prey series of which there are currently twenty-five installments, running from 1989 - 2015.......the first being Rules of Prey and the most recent, Gathering Prey, which debuted on April 28, 2015. Other series include The Kidd Series, The Virgil Flowers Series, The Singular Menace Series, and other various books and short stories.

Goodreads review by Kemper on April 18, 2018

Most mental health professionals would probably tell you that a clinical depression needs to be treated with a combination of drugs and therapy, but Lucas Davenport found his own method of pulling himself out of a funk by beating the snot out of a pimp and then trying to track down a pair of wacko s......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on March 22, 2024

This rarely happens, but I’m happy to admit that the Mister was correct!! The third installment in the Lucas Davenport series was the best by far. Granted I read the first two a few years ago, but sometimes they read as if they were written about characters from the ‘80s-90s instead of the 2000s. Ho......more

But unknown to the killer (and her husband), she wasn’t alone. Her lover was upstairs and later walked in on the scene while in progress. He runs out and the......more

Lucas Davenport has not been the same since his last few cases. His head hasn't been right since then. He has lost his relationship with his girlfriend, Jennifer and he barely sees his kid. He went into a major depression but maybe getting back on the job is the one thing that can help him. When......more

4 Stars. I wasn't excited by this one as I progressed through the opening chapters. Not top-drawer Sandford, but then it took off as Lieutenant Davenport got hold of himself and this new case. Lucas had been suffering serious depression for months following the Crow matter, and more importantly, the......more
