Synopsis
Ingenious detective Lucas Davenport knows he's met his match--a wanton killer who knows more about mind games than Lucas himself.
Annotation
Detective Lucas Davenport knows he has met his match. For his newest nemesis is more intelligent--and more deadly--than any he has tracked before. A kidnapper. A violator. A pure, wanton killer who knows more about mind games than Lucas himself. "His seventh, and best, outing in the acclaimed Prey suspense series."--People.
Publishers Weekly
Minneapolis PD Deputy Chief Lucas Davenport, seen last in Night Prey, carries on as a smart, quirky hero in the seventh ``Prey'' book. When psychiatrist Andi Manette and her two young daughters are kidnapped, Lucas must discover whether it's a ransom snatch, the work of one of Andi's ex-patients or the ruse of someone in her life who might benefit from her death. (Her father, stepmother, estranged husband and medical partner are all good suspects.) Readers know the kidnapper is John Mail, a scary ex-patient who's entertained nasty dreams of Andi for years. He enacts his violent sex fantasies with the imprisoned Andi; it seems only a matter of time before he will go after the girls. Lucas, meanwhile, draws on all available resources, including his own computer game company, to flush out Mail, a gamer who enjoys taunting Lucas with phone calls. During this time, Andi has been trying to maintain an element of control and contrive an escape. Sandford expertly ratchets up the suspense from beginning to the brutal finish. Lucas does get his villain, but no one comes out of this experience unscarred. Literary Guild main; Doubleday Book Club alternate. (May)

Extremely intense....by rdcrim10

10/26/2009: I have read several books by John Sandford and enjoy his style of writing very much. Mind Prey was a disturbing read as it protrayed a maniac that kidnapped a woman and her 2 daughters. The torture that this lunatic put these women through was truly a suspenseful experience but thanks to our hero Lucas Davenport who methodically uncovers the identity of the criminal.
Not bad.....Could have been betterby Anonymous

06/02/2008: It wasn't bad but boy could it have been better. Sandfords novels just seem so lacking to me. Nothing much happens for a long time but standard day by day routines that do not to be so boring but they are. Davenport is a manic of a cop but hes a great character. The killers in the prey series have been getting weaker to me and the fact that nothing groundbreaking happens in this series. They are so straight to the point, it can get boring until Lucas enters the picture again. Sandford wont play with your mind, the stories always go one way, always. If you like alot of suspense or twists, Sandford wont do it for you. Great characters though.....
