From Publishers Weekly
This streamlined thriller is a rematch for Minneapolis homicide cop Lucas Davenport and the insane killer he caught in Sandford's earlier slasher novel, Eyes of Prey. After psychotic pathologist Dr. Mike Bekker escapes from a New York courthouse and begins a killing spree, NYPD Lt. Lily Rothenberg asks Davenport, her former lover, to come to Manhattan and help the investigation. Despite Bekker's ruined face (courtesy of an enraged Davenport), the killer eludes capture and the bodies keep piling up, each with the eyelids cut off so that Bekker could photograph his victims as they died. Rothenberg gives Davenport an additional, undercover assignment--to ferret out the "Robin Hoods," a clandestine police vigilante group responsible for perhaps three dozen deaths, one of which was that of a fellow cop who might have been onto them. Paired with possible Robin Hood Det. Barbara Fell, Davenport taunts Bekker in the media, hoping to goad him into a mistake, but the grisly murders continue. As the momentum gathers, readers will speed through the surprise twists and confrontations of the last chapters. Although the story never drags and Sandford delivers his usual punch, the devices in his winning formula are becoming familiar.

I saw this on a fellow BookCrosser's wishlist, so it is on its way as a surprise - Enjoy!
Thank you! That was an awesome surprise.
Sending to Valkyrie119. Enjoy!
Bekker is back and crazier than before.
The book was pretty good, well paced and with plenty of action.
I am geting tired of Davenport bedding every female cop he meets, but that's my only gripe.

I caught the book through paperbackswap.com. It was mailed to me after I mailed out a book that another member had requested so I earned a credit. I chose Silent Prey and lo and behold it arrived with the book crossing sticker in the front. The first one I have received!
