"The story appears as if it's going to climax near the three-quarters point of the book, but then Prescott plants a series of twists and turns that keeps his novel going strong for more than 100 additional pages … enabling him to weave brilliant elements of psychological horror into the standard hunter-and-hunted story." — Publishers Weekly
"A thriller that gives new meaning to the word, The Shadow Hunter expands the parameters and adds a new dimension to the genre.
