Book Overview

#1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford's "haunting, unforgettable, ice-blooded thriller"* that introduced Lucas Davenport... The killer was mad but brilliant. He left notes with every woman he killed. Rules of murder: Never have a motive. Never follow a discernible pattern. Never carry a weapon after it has been used... So many rules to his sick, violent games of death. But Lucas Davenport, the cop who's out to get him, isn't playing by the rules. "Terrifying...Sandford has crafted the kind of trimmed-to-the-bone thriller that is hard to put down...scary...intriguing...unpredictable."-- Chicago Tribune " Rules of Prey is so chilling that you're almost afraid to turn the pages. So mesmerizing you cannot stop...A crackle of surprises." --* Carl Hiaasen "Sleek and nasty...A big scary, suspenseful read, and I loved every minute of it." -- Stephen King "A cop and a killer you will remember for a long, long time." -- Robert B. Parker This description may be from another edition of this product.

A non-stop suspensful read!

The Killer calls himself the Maddog. When the urge siezes him, he goes and "collects" a new victim. With each woman he slays, he leaves a note. These notes are the Maddog's "rules".Every note says something different, such as: Never kill anybody you know; never have a motive; never carry a weapon after it has been used.

RULE #1 -- START A SERIES WITH A "GREAT" BOOK

A few years ago, I asked the owner of a bookstore to recommend some books for me. She said that she had been home sick for the past week and spent the time reading all of the "prey" books. At the time, I had no idea what she was talking about and thought they might have something to do with religion as in "pray" books. After some further discussion, I realized I had stumbled upon a great series by John Sandford. I started...

Superb debut to my favorite new series!

My wife bugged me for months to read this series and when I finally broke down, I kicked myself for not starting it sooner. Sandford's books following Minneapolis Police Detective Lucas Davenport are some of the best I've discovered in a long time. I'm working my way through the series and loving it!Davenport is a maverick, brilliant, somewhat-womanizing detective.  I wasn't sure at first whether or not I'd like the character,...

Just The Beggining . . .

This is the first of many John Sandford books I have read. The chapters ping-pong between detective Lucas Davenport and the killers mind. Sometimes you can't tell who's mind you're in! Very suspensefull and it really keeps you interested. I would recommend this book to people who like series books. The prey series in general is all suspensful and thought provoking.
