After a two-year hiatus, bestselling author A. B. Whelan returns with her most haunting and timely novel yet—a razor-sharp psychological thriller inspired by real-life con artists and emotional predators. Easy Prey will leave you breathless and questioning everything.
He stole her sister’s heart, her money, and her future. Now it’s Jules’s turn to rewrite the ending.
When Brooke Taylor—a young, blind woman—dies by apparent suicide, her sister Jules knows something doesn’t add up. Brooke had fallen fast for a charming, mysterious man she met online. Now she’s gone… and so is a small fortune.
Determined to uncover the truth, Jules plunges into her sister’s world—of dating apps, fake identities, and manipulative lies. Her investigation soon spirals into a psychological game of cat and mouse, where nothing is what it seems, and everyone has something to hide. Her only clues are the cassette tapes her sister left behind.
The deeper she digs, the darker the story becomes—and the more dangerous. Because Jules isn’t just chasing a conman. She’s hunting a predator.
Perfect for fans of The Tinder Swindler, Gone Girl, and The Girl on the Train, EASY PREY is a chilling psychological thriller about betrayal, obsession, and how far one woman will go to expose the truth—no matter the cost.
