I absolutely recommend it!

I have read many "thrillers" of the cops-and-robbers type before, but this is the best I have read. Sandford keeps your pulse racing and you actually feel let down that the thrill ended so soon. I will read his next book, for certain

not great literature, but a perfect airplane read!

I started this book at 4:30 pm in the Columbus, Ohio airport and finished this 370 page book later the same day. When the pilot announced that there would be a 45 minute air traffic control delay flying into Boston, I didn't care...I was on page 200! This is not great literature, but given the genre, the author delivers! A credible plot and characters gives this book an edge up on standard airline fare.

Unrelenting Violence

Usually fictional violence doesn't bother me, but the violence in this book is over the top. I've read all of Sandford's "Prey" series (liked them all) and they all had some tough parts but they were balanced with lighter moments. This book seemed unbalanced to me. Maybe I just wasn't in the right kind of mood for such a dark story. Bummed me out

Perfect airline read.

This is the first "Prey" book I have read and after reading this book I am going to pick up the other John Sandford books. Having lived in Minneapolis for four years I found this particular book to be a very exciting read. (But you don't have to be from Minnesota to enjoy the book.) Sandford's protagonist is a very interesting character of which you will want to read more of his adventures

Gets Better As it Moves Along

This was the first Sanford book I've read, and it won't be the last. It will never win my "Book of the Year" award, but it was a better than average, entertaining read. My only complaint is that early on, there are too many characters introduced too quickly, and it easily confused as to who is who. But as it moved on, and the story spread out, that problem diminished. It's not the most original novel, but that's not what Sanford's shooting for here. He's shooting for In-Your-Face, Fast Paced supsense - and he delivers! Anybody who is a fan of TV shows like "NYPD Blue" or "Murder One" will appreciate this book. The fast paced, back and forth action takes on a similar pattern to these shows. Enjoy!
