Rules of Prey

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

A murderer who calls himself Maddog is terrorizing the Twin Cities; he's 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, the maddog suddenly has an adversary worthy of his genius.
