Rules of Prey

Welcome. You are about to meet Lucas Davenport, the police detective in Minneapolis, Minnesota, who does it his way.

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 the police befuddled. Each clever move he makes is another point of pride. But when the brilliant Lieutenant Davenport–a dedicated cop and a serial killer’s worst nightmare–is brought in to take up the investigation, maddog suddenly has an adversary worthy of his genius.

Librarian’s note: the first five books in the Lucas Davenport series are #1, Rules of Prey, 1989; #2, Shadow Prey, 1990; #3, Eyes of Prey, 1991; #4, Silent Prey, 1992; and #5, Winter Prey, 1993.
