"Sleek and nasty...the pages turn quickly."

From the Back Cover:

I'D LIKE TO HAVE YOU FOR FIVE MINUTES. A GOOD, SHARP SCALPEL WOULD OPEN YOU UP LIKE A GODDAMN OYSTER: ZIP, ZIP. LIKE A GODDAMN CLAM

His guards slain, Bekker, the insane pathologist from 'Eyes of Prey', flees to New York, there to continue his gruesome experiments, searching his victims' eyes for what they can reveal at the moment of death. In desperation the New York police turn for help to Lucas Davenport – the detective who first caught Bekker. It was Davenport who left Bekker's once beautiful face a mass of scars. He should have finished the job then – this time he may not get the chance.

”John Sandford is a brilliant writer.”
