The review of this Book prepared by Tracey Ray




An influential psycologist and her 2 daughters are kidnapped. It's up to Lucas Davenport & the Minneapolis Police department to find them, before their captor becomes their killer. I have read all of the "Prey" books, and this one was another twisted, suspenseful quick read. Sandford's villians can always be counted upon to commit brutal, evil crimes.
