Rules of Prey

By: John Sandford

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

Pulitzer Prize winner John Sandford began his #1 New York Times best-selling series with this riveting novel that floored critics and fellow novelists alike. "So chilling that you're almost afraid to turn the pages," hailed Carl Hiassen, while Robert B. Parker praised the "cop and a killer you will remember for a long, long time." The "maddog" murderer who is terrorizing the Twin Cities is two things: insane and extremely intelligent. He kills for the pleasure of it and thoroughly enjoys placing elaborate obstacles to keep police befuddled. Each clever move he makes is another point of pride. But when the brilliant Lieutenant Lucas Davenport--a dedicated cop and a serial killer's worst nightmare--is brought in to take up the investigation, the maddog suddenly has an adversary worthy of his genius.©1989 John Sandford (P)2005 Recorded Books LLC

My First Audio Book On Audible

I cannot believe I had never heard of
John Sandford who wrote this excellent crime thriller almost 30 years ago. It is quite brilliant for a first in series and sets an impressive benchmark for the more than 20 Lucas Davenport books that follow.

Great book and series by John Sanford

I've just started working my way through the Prey series again, this time via audio books. I had forgotten how entertaining John Sanford's books are and Richard Ferrone's narration is very easy to listen to. This was a great start to a great series and sits in the top tier of my library.

Start of the excellent prey series

I read these books twenty years ago now and have been an avid fan of the series ever since. John Sandford finds a way to drag you into the characters and it was great to go back to where it all began. Not the greatest performance but not the worst either.

I highly recommend this series for any fan of the serial killer/cop genre, these are good gritty urban tales with a good sense of humour about them also.
