Editorial Review:

Product Description:
When Lucas Davenport and his team gun down two bank robbers in the middle of a heist, Davenport falls prey to the purest and simplest criminal motivation: revenge.

Amazon.com Review:
Revenge is the engine which powers Sanford's seventh "Prey" thriller starring superslick Minnesota cop Lucas Davenport. When a dangerous female bank robber is killed in a shootout, her even more dangerous husband escapes from prison and begins a campaign of retribution against the families of Davenport and his team. As always with Sandford, excellent writing is the icing on an enjoyable cake. (Other Sandford "Prey" books: Eyes of Prey, Mind Prey, Night Prey, Rules of Prey, Silent Prey, Winter Prey.)

- Blood and guts crime drama
The police kill two bank robbers... women.
The husband and brother of the two women,Dick LaChaise,
together with two buddies forms a gang to revenge their deaths.
The result is a bloody crime spree that includes hits of the police officer's relatives. Although well written and having no real sexual content, this for me is a very unpleasant book.
It seems to dwell on the worst elements of crimes.

Rating:

- Painful and disturbing
Do not expect to enjoy reading this book. It almost seems to be an expansion of the most chilling crime headlines in a large city paper.The unrelenting climate of the north-central states serves as background to this bleak story of sudden sociopathic rage. Characters suffering from weak personalities and poverty are sucked into a tornado of violence which spreads outward to encompass the innocent bystanders at scenes of crime and police families who are targets of revenge by criminals who blame specific police officers for the deaths of friends and relatives caught in sting operations. Behind it all is a primitive sense of justicereminiscent of the "kicked dog" which remembers the black boot and consequently bites any boot wearer who is unlucky enough to stumble into sight.Of course all is ...

- It's All About Revenge...
This is another page turning installment in John Sandford's Prey Series. In the beginning, the "prey" seems to be a pair of female bank robbers. Suddenly, the "hunters" become the prey and are hunted in a cruel, quick and shocking fashion. The family of the bank robbers hunt down the police responsible for their demise. Add into the mix a "bad" cop, and nobody is safe. The ending has a major impact on the next book in the series. If you are a fan of action and suspense, you won't be disappointed.

I've read several of the later books in the Prey series, and am going back and reading the ones I've missed. I only wish I had started in the beginning. It's a great series.

- Full of action and suspense
#8 of the Davenport series-From the book jacket "It begins with a death and ends with one". This was a fantastic book, full of suspense. This is probably the best of the series so far. It took off right from the start with the death of two thiefs. The brother and husband of the criminals, escapes from jail and goes after the cops that killed them. I think Sandford did a great job keeping the action going in this one. It never let up. I stayed up late to finish it. Davenport's character was not as stellar as previous books. Davenport is known to be on top of his game, always one step ahead of the criminal. In this book, you see a more vulnerable side of Lucas. I like the fact that Sandford showed this side. It is a nice change. Looking forward to continuing this series.

- Heart-stopping action, breath-taking suspense, gut-twisting . . well, you get the idea
When the attempted arrest of bank robbers goes awry - leaving Georgie and Candy LaChaise dead in a shoot-out - it turns out the media firestorm resulting from it is the least of Minneapolis PD's concerns. Dick LaChaise - Candy's husband and Georgie's brother - has decided to make a break out of jail while attending their funeral and get revenge with the help of a couple of his friends by the name of Crazy Ansel Butters and Bill Martin. And they are going to begin with the spouses of the officers involved in the shooting.

As Lucas and Co. scramble to find LaChaise and his men, they are constantly thwarted - unaware that LaChaise has a man on the inside feeding him information.

Unremitting tension and an unrelenting pace make this a book that is almost impossible to ... Read More
