Synopsis

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.

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 James on April 08, 2024

This is, to my mind, probably the least successful of John Sandford's Prey series. That's not to say that I didn't like it, but inevitably in any long-running series, I suppose, one book has to be the best and another has to be the worst, even if they are all quite good. At the end of the book that p......more

Lily Rothenburg comes to Minnesota to ask Lucas to come to her city to catch Bekker, the deranged criminal from Eyes of Prey who escaped during his trial to NYC. Dekker is not only killing his victims but he's also publishing arti......more

Goodreads review by Kemper on January 05, 2015

A bored Lucas Davenport is a dangerous Lucas Davenport, and now that he’s no longer a cop, Lucas is very bored. While his gaming and police simulation software company is making him oodles of money, Lucas misses the action of his old job and is trying to spice things up by picking bar fights and see......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on October 17, 2020

3.5 I don’t know why I’m slightly disappointed with this one as compared to the rest. Davenport’s in New York lending help to the NYPD’s search for a familiar twisted (so twisted) bad guy but complications and politics intervene. There are all sorts of traps here as well as some twists and turns but......more

Even though he lost his job in the process, he was sat......more
