This is an absorbing thriller. I dislike the title, which is clearly a marketing ploy and which has no meaning within the context of the story, but it’s quite likely Sandford didn’t write the title.

Silent Prey features ex-cop Lucas Davenport, an engaging, three-dimensional character familiar to readers of the other Prey stories (which I haven’t read, but will now). He’s clever; he doesn’t take B.S.; and he doesn’t take himself too seriously either. He’s tracking a Hannibal-like psychopath introduced in Eyes of Prey, Michael Bekker, through a series of grisly murders in New York City.

All the requisite plot-twists are in place to keep the reader guessing, up until the very end. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to fans of the genre — including cop dramas, investigative procedurals, mysteries, thrillers, etc.
