Quotes
Delivers twists to the very last sentence. – Daily Mail (London) Sandford expertly ratchets up the suspense from beginning to the brutal finish. – Publishers Weekly Sandford’s talent for conveying the quotidian horrors, tedium, and heavy-handed humor of urban police procedure is as sure as ever in streetwise hero Lucas Davenport’s seventh outingA shocking but credible climax provides most of the answers, and Davenport ties up the last loose ends in a satisfying postlude. Nonstop action, an offbeat milieu (the wide, weird world of computer gamesters), and a host of three-dimensional characters all make for one of the best Preys yet. – Kirkus Reviews
