Summary

Despite considerable press coverage and a lengthy trial, the full story of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints 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 Jeff 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.

Evil oozes out of Warren Jeffs and I only hope he gets his come-uppance in jail.

Fascinating story of how he wax exposed and all the work to bring his cult to justice, However this needed editing down as it is way too long.

American accents are not my favourite but it’s based in the USA so I suppose it’s something I had to put up with….. still don’t like it though.

Absolute power, corrupts absolutely

Does a thougher job for exposing the FLDS church for what it is, would recommend

Overall I thought it was a great book

It’s so intricate. The heinous crimes that went on and go on is just abhorrent. It’s so frustrating that people got away with all they did, this in 2026 is why so many still wouldn’t come forward because we just don’t get believed! I for one know that I would rather myself and my daughter be trapped in a forest with a bear than a man. Let that sink in for a moment.

It’s a long one

Not what I have expected, just a long narrative of crimes that are all the same without getting on the consequences and the psyche behind,
Jon Krakauer is been mentioned few times, but i do not see any merits on mentioning his name to the overall story.

Very poor story
