This is the story of two brothers, Adam and Kent. They haven't
spoken in years. Adam's life is not terrific. He is a bail bondsman, so
he doesn't hang out with the nicest of people. The only real
relationship he has is with a woman who is married to a prisoner. Kent
is at the other extreme. He is married with children, he has found
religion and most importantly (to the town) he is the outstanding,
upstanding football coach. He has done very well and this year his team
has a good chance at the state championship. Adam comes to every game
but he does it because his sister would have thought that was the right
thing to do. When they were teenagers their sister was taken and
murdered - and the family never recovered. Even twenty years later
neither brother has completely moved past the awful event. Adam has
bought the family home and has restored his sister's room to the way it
was when she died. When another teenage girl is murdered Adam and
Kent are both horrified to realize that they were connected to what
happened - and the killer likes it that way. The Prophet is a great
mystery. One warning - there is a lot of football talk in the book! I
like football so it was okay.
