Product Description
After one troubled college-age student disappears and two are found slashed to death, Lucas Davenport finds himself hunting what appears to be a modern-day Jack the Ripper. But Lucas keeps getting the sneaking suspicion that there is something else involved. Something very bad, very dark, and as elusive as a phantom.

 John Sanford- Prey Series January 6, 2009
John Sanford continues to deliver even nearly 20 years after the first Prey book. The books are just as thrilling and Lucas Davenport is just as HOT!
 Phantom Prey January 6, 2009
This book was in good condition when it arrived. My husband and I both are reading it and are satisfied with it.
Goth darn, what a story January 1, 2009
Mr. Sandford has the ability to weave a few storys at a time into a page turner of a novel and keep us all wondering quite a way through who the Villian may be. Then when he tells us it then follows through with the way they are captured. I have always loved his novels and will look forward to each as they come. I highly recommend this novel. You also get a good look at the Goth World, quite a bonus.
 Interesting Storyline December 5, 2008
I just finished Phantom Prey and probably was not my favorite of JS books but definitely interesting. I almost stopped reading after a few chapters because I really didn't care for the whole "Goth" thing and almost seemed we were getting into paranormal which I really don't like. However, I was curious about some other details of the book so kept reading and finally realized we were just dealing with the figment of someone's imagination. In other words they were a bit on the crazy side-okay perhaps more than a bit! This made more sense than the direction I thought JS was going. Nora Roberts and some others are big on the parnormal but hadn't picked that up in other JS books. However, I haven't read nearly all of his books. I'm still pretty new to them.
Mr. Sandford seems to be a talented author who knows how to weave a story, with sometimes 2 or 3 storylines going on. If I have any complaint is the amount of profanity and crudeness which is over the top sometimes. The crudeness bothers me more than the profanity at times. So after a couple JS books, I have to read something else a little lighter. I can skim over the parts I don't like because I'm interested enough to want to know where the the storyline is going.
I have not read JS's early books in the Prey series so don't know how Davenport evolved but like his character as he is now and the other characters who keep popping up in the books. Mr. Sandford's style seems to be to let the readers know the villian early on which gives a whole different concept to reading the nystery. I think perhaps a bit more suspense to the story because I keep thinking, oh no, you're telling the wrong person all that information. I guess that's the whole idea.
Phantom Prey though not my favorite so far, still had enough interesting storyline to keep it moving along.
Lucas Davenport at his best! December 1, 2008
An excellent John Sandford "Who Dun It", in typical fashion he keeps you guessing to the very end. Sandford humanizes Lucas Davenport to the point you can see him as your next door neighbor. You can almost see him walking up to your front door.
