Prey / C. Terry Cline, Jr.

The first threat came over the phone…a chilling voice threatening to kill the sheriff. But the sheriff was already dead. And the calls kept coming – even as Brad Taylor took over the sheriff’s job from his deceased father, Bo. Abruptly, the ominous caller appears in town, intimidating, swearing to destroy the rest of the Taylor family. Who is this man? What is his link to the dead sheriff? Before anyone can answer, the entire Taylor family becomes prey to the brilliantly calculating madman who strikes suddenly, kidnapping Brad’s two children, threatening to kill them in 72 hours unless his startling demands are met. And as precious time ticks away, Brad and his wife are plunged into a terrifying nightmare of 40-year-old dark secrets…and into the mind of a murderer with a burning need for revenge.
