Samenvatting:

"A remarkable man on many levels, Sam Brower is the real deal.

Readers are apt to find his firsthand account of bringing Warren Jeffs

to justice both extremely disturbing and absolutely riveting."-Jon

Krakauer, from the foreword



From the private investigator who cracked open the case that led to

the arrest of Warren Jeffs, the maniacal prophet of the polygamous

Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), comes the

page-turning, horrifying story of how a rogue sect used sex, money, and

power disguised under a facade of religion to further criminal

activities and a madman's vision.



Despite considerable press coverage and a lengthy trial, the full

story has remained largely untold. Only one man can reveal the whole,

astounding truth: Sam Brower, the private investigator who devoted years

of his life to breaking open the secret practices of the FLDS and

bringing Warren Jeffs and his inner circle to justice. In Prophet's Prey,

Brower implicates Jeffs in his own words, bringing to light the

contents of Jeffs's personal priesthood journal, discovered in a hidden

underground vault, and revealing to readers the shocking inside world of

FLDS members, whose trust he earned and who showed him the staggering

truth of their lives.



Prophet's Prey offers the gripping, behind-the-scenes account of a bizarre world from the only man who knows the full story.
