Publisher's summary

For Maddog, the killer who had Minneapolis in a grip of chilled terror, satisfaction came from the thrill of the contest. After each grisly murder he would leave behind one of the rules he had devised: Never kill anyone you know. Never have a motive. Never follow a discernible pattern. He was no textbook psychopath. But Lieutenant Lucas Davenport was no ordinary detective. To bring an end to Maddog's trail of death, he would have to play by his own rules.

Start of the excellent prey series

I read these books twenty years ago now and have been an avid fan of the series ever since. John Sandford finds a way to drag you into the characters and it was great to go back to where it all began. Not the greatest performance but not the worst either.

I highly recommend this series for any fan of the serial killer/cop genre, these are good gritty urban tales with a good sense of humour about them also.

My First Audio Book On Audible

I cannot believe I had never heard of
John Sandford who wrote this excellent crime thriller almost 30 years ago. It is quite brilliant for a first in series and sets an impressive benchmark for the more than 20 Lucas Davenport books that follow.

Great book and series by John Sanford

I've just started working my way through the Prey series again, this time via audio books. I had forgotten how entertaining John Sanford's books are and Richard Ferrone's narration is very easy to listen to. This was a great start to a great series and sits in the top tier of my library.
