Prayer of Prey

Fiction. Mystery. African American Studies. Disillusioned by his career and devastated by a stupid mistake that ended his engagement, Johnny Lee put away his detective badge and turned to the Chicago streets for some no-strings attached comfort. Pamela Bell was a prostitute preoccupied with survival. Mary Beth Olsen longed for a normal life, but found herself involved in a dangerous game. Bound by ancestral legacy, desperate pacts and the evil deeds of others, all three must confront emotional fears and physical danger as they attempt to escape their fate and save their lives.
