Chosen Prey by John Sandford

Art history professor James Qatar lives a quiet, unassuming life in Minneapolis. But in the privacy of his home, he hides a disturbing obsession—an imagination so dark it drives him to kill. When a young woman’s body is found, Detective Lucas Davenport is called in. What begins as a seemingly random murder soon leads Davenport into the twisted mind of a killer who sees his crimes as art—and has no intention of stopping.

As Davenport closes in, the line between hunter and hunted blurs, leading to a chilling confrontation that will test every instinct he has.
