This is one of John Sandford's first books in the Prey Series (#4). And he shows with this book that he's a great writer. His way of adding twists and caputring you right from the start is only a couple of the things that makes him great. The killer of Eyes of Prey can, to a certain extent, even be compared to Hannibal Lector. The gross almost rituals and the horrible acts. Sandfords way of describing the way the characters think, their desires and their way of acting is unique!
Once you're started reading the book you're trapped. No way to get out until you're done with the book. Highly recommended to anyone who loves other Prey-books, and thrillers!!

This is the third Prey series book I'm reading and I believe I have hit the best one. I know I've become addicted to the series. It's hard to got to bed at night and just the book down! The dualism in Bekker and Cruze and their cooperation is a stroke of genius. Just out and out excellent storyline and characterization. The more I read about Davenport, the more I really enjoy reading about his life. I think he's a character who really appeals to men, judging from what I read here. But I as a women I find him a breath of fresh air from all other characters within the genre I've read so far (Scarpetta is too self-absorbed and self-congratulating; Alex Cross is fine, if a warm and fuzzy crime-fighting family man is your thing) But I just get a warm feeling reading about Davenport, his way with women, his dark humour, his style and realism. He's got a take-control, almost macho appeal combined with an intelligence and insight that we all wish we could come across in real life. Must admit I have a crush on him, just dying to read and re-read about his further adventures in the Twin Cities.

Eyes of Prey is a highly suspenseful novel about a doctor who wh plays a cat and mouse game with Minneapolis, P.D., namely Davenport, and takes part in several gruesome murders with a hideous partner in crime. Sandford delivers a good effort with this one but it's not quite as suspenseful as his debut, Rules of Prey. Overall, it's still a better than average suspense novel and very gripping and tense dialogue.
