Series · 36 books

By John Sandford, Jeffery Deaver

His guards slain, the brilliant yet insane pathologist of 'Eyes of Prey" flees to New York, there to continue his research into aspects of death. Carefully, Michael Bekker conducts his experiments, searching the eyes of his dying victims for what they can reveal. But the mounting body count is causing an uproar in the city. In desperation, the police reach out for the man who knew Bekker best, but when Lucas Davenport arrives, he finds unexpected danger as well. For Lily Rothenburg, the policewoman whose intense affair with Lucas has never completely faded, is there too. Now, consumed with her own investigation of a group of rogue killers who could be inside the police department, she draws Lucas into her orbit again, until their hunts merge, their twin obsessions driving them ever closer to the edge . . . and then over. 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.
