Publisher Description
“The stakes are high, the characters rich, the action relentless” (Publishers Weekly) in this Lucas Davenport novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author John Sandford.
The crime spree should have ended when Lucas Davenport killed the female bank robber during the shoot-out. But it’s just beginning, because the woman’s husband isn’t about to let Lucas—or anyone he loves—escape retribution.
INCLUDES A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The title tells it true, and applies not only to myriad characters in Sandford's electrifying eighth "Prey" thriller, but also to the novel's readers. From the opening scene, in which series hero, Minneapolis cop Lucas Davenport, and his team stalk and kill a female bank robber, the story will clamp down like a bear trap on all who open its covers. That robber is Davenport's prey, but those beloved by the cop and his men become prey in turn when the slain thief's husband, Dick LaChaise, and his two sidekicks, all ex-bikers with militia mentalities, vow revenge unto death. Davenport, who in his spare time designs computer games that have made him wealthy, soon learns two disturbing facts: that suicidal enemies are close to unstoppable, and that his addiction to this real-life "game" is powerful enough to put even his loved ones at risk. Further problems ensue from the dangerous presence of a crooked cop, and from the refusal by Davenport's lover, a dedicated surgeon, to take up Davenport's offer to seclude her safely. The stakes are high, the characters rich, the action relentless-here's a thriller that will make your hair stand on end.

Customer Reviews
Mr
The suspense in the story kept me riveted all the time. My only complaint is the excessive use of foul language which added nothing to the story. I don't think the language truly represents how police men and women talk on a daily basis.
Hard to put down
This book is a page turner! I had some late nights and early mornings that almost made me late for work. I had a hard time putting it down to do all the adult things I have to do. Love the action and the thought process of the characters. All the previous prey books have been great! I’m on the next one! These books are my guilty pleasure and escape. Love it!
Sudden Prey
Absolutely perfect SandFord. Sudden Prey screams from page to page like a runaway train in the night. Five stars! You're gonna love this one.
