Broken Prey

By: John Sandford

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

Lucas Davenport confronts a living nightmare, in one of the scariest Prey novels yet from the number-one bestselling author. The "Big Three" are a trio of inmates locked up in the Minnesota Security Hospital over the years, each a particularly vicious serial killer, each with his own distinct style and propensities. Everybody feels much safer knowing that they're behind bars. Except . . . there's a new killer on the loose. And his handiwork bears a disturbing resemblance to some of the finer points practiced by the Big Three, details that never even made the papers. Davenport and his team quickly home in on a possible suspect, a man named Charlie Pope, who was released from the same hospital prison a few weeks earlier, and who now seems to have cut himself free from his court-imposed ankle bracelet and disappeared. But is he really the one? And why do the Big Three look so agitated? Brilliantly suspenseful, consistently surprising-once again, Sandford has outdone himself.""©2005 John Sandford; (P)2005 Penguin Audio

Great Twists

One of, if not the best, Davenport novels I've read to date. This story had me hooked as well as fooled on occasion, which is not easy to do.

Had be hooked from the first chapter

It had me guessing till almost the end. I would have liked to know more about the villain childhood back story.

Not as usual.

I’ve read 16 books prior to this one a little disappointed. A lot of the banter between the police I found was unnecessary unnecessarily salty. I spent 11 years in the Navy and I am not shocked by salty language. In this case, I just thought it was unnecessary..

Wonderful Thriller!

I love the Prey series and I've read or/and listened to most of them. This book is just as good as the previous ones. It can be a bit graphic in parts, but so can real police work (I would think). Anyway, there's plenty of action, mystery and suspense to keep you listening until the end. I love all of the characters, and the author does a wonderful job of making them seem so real. I thought that the reader was fantastic, too!
