A gripping thriller by the acclaimed global bestselling author John Sandford, "The Prey" delves into the mind of a killer who knows no bounds. As psychiatrist Andi Manette concludes a parent-teacher meeting with her two daughters, she is unaware of the impending danger lurking around her. Tired and distracted, she fails to notice the red van parked beside her, or the van door sliding open. The last thing she does perceive is a hand reaching out for her and her daughters, sending a chill down her spine.

Hours later, deputy chief Lucas Davenport finds himself standing in the car park, holding a blood-stained shoe in his hand. He knows that this case will be challenging, but he has no idea that he is facing a nemesis more intelligent and depraved than any he has encountered before. A killer who knows mind games better than even Davenport himself.

Time is running out to locate Andi and her daughters. Will this be the one case that Davenport cannot solve?
