Praise for Michael Koryta:
PRAISE FOR THE PROPHET
"The Prophet is a relentless, heart-in-your-throat thriller about ordinary people caught in the middle of an extraordinary nightmare."--Dennis Lehane
"Friday Night Lights meets In Cold Blood in this powerful tale...It's a brilliantly paced thriller that keeps its villains at a tantalizing distance, a compelling family portrait, a study in morality that goes beyond the usual black-and-white judgments, and an entertaining spin on classic football fiction. A flawless performance."--Kirkus, starred review
"Thriller Award-finalist Koryta (The Ridge) triumphantly returns to crime fiction with this multi-layered exploration of guilt and redemption....Like Laura Lippman, Koryta has a gift for melding a suspenseful, twisty plot with a probing, unflinching look at his protagonists' weaknesses."--Publisher's Weekly, starred review
"The Prophet is like a long, heart-stopping pass down the sidelines in the final seconds of a decisive game. It's made me want to leap to my feet and cheer Koryta on."--Scott Smith
"Could. Not. Put. It. Down."--The New London Day
"Somehow, Michael Koryta gets better with every book, no small feat considering the quality of those he's already written. Here's a writer for the new century, one to read, admire and, yes, envy."--Tom Franklin, author of Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter
"Michael Koryta is an amazingly talented writer, and I rank The Prophet as one of the sharpest and superbly plotted crime novels I've read in my life."--Donald Ray Pollock, author of Knockemstiff and The Devil All the Time
"Elegantly written...Koryta shows great sensitivity in examining how each brother deals with these parallel tragedies."--Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
