The Shadow Hunter (2000) introduces Abby Sinclair, a Los Angeles security consultant who takes on cases involving stalkers and obsessive criminals. The work puts her in direct contact with dangerous people, and Michael Prescott uses that setup to build tight psychological thrillers around predator-prey dynamics.
Tess McCallum, an FBI agent, enters the series in later books, and the interplay between the two women adds a second perspective to the investigations. The five novels run from 2000 to 2007, each one self-contained but building on the characters’ histories. Prescott keeps the pacing aggressive, with the stalker or killer always one step too close.
