Two brothers who have gone their separate ways--one, a highly respected high school football coach, the other a bail bondsman with an unfulfilled life--find their lives crashing together once more as a young woman's killing mirrors their own sister's death years before in Michael Koryta's The Prophet.
The Prophet is a big, solid thriller, in a beach read vein, but with rich, intriguing characters and a compelling plot. Of most interest is the relationship between the two brothers--the coach, on the cusp of a state football championship, his brother on the edge of darkness--and the memories of their sister that have pulled them together even as they try to tear each other apart.
This is the first novel by Koryta that I have read, although I have been interested in him for some time as I know he is a fellow Hoosier. I will definitely look for more of his thrillers after enjoying this one.
I listened to this on audio book on loan from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana.
