Ruth Warner is broken. Her adult niece’s violent death at the hands of a serial rapist-murderer leaves her bitter.

**Finalist in The Word Awards (suspense category)**A grieving woman is abducted by a serial killer—and it may be the answer to her prayers. Despite her husband’s objections, 40-something Ruth Warner finds healing through prayer for Harry Silver, the former race car driver who brutally raped and murdered her niece. When a kidnapping-gone-wrong pegs Ruth as his next victim, Harry claims that by destroying the one person who’d pray for him, he proves God can’t—or won’t—look after His own. Can Ruth’s faith sustain her to the end—whatever the cost?Heaven’s Prey is about a dangerous offender’s last chance at redemption and a vulnerable woman’s obedience to pray for her enemy—not the gentle inspirational read many associate with Christian fiction.  The first edition of this novel was a finalist in the 2013 Word Awards (suspense category).
