NEW RELEASE....
Observation is just the first step.
Then comes the action.
And these actions will speak louder than any words. That much is certain.
Someone is watching. Scrutinizing every flip of the hair, change of expression, and spoken word. What about their aura?
For Cooper Chain and Willow Ball, it was a normal weekday morning. Until the moment Cooper opens the back door.
Was it just an accident? Or is an invisible force trying to eliminate Ball & Chain off the face of the Earth?
Unable to let go of the memory of her father, Willow takes the lure of learning more information. But a meeting goes horribly wrong, and death is knocking on her door.
Sucked into a vortex of bizarre, deathly events, Willow and Cooper struggle to fight off a never-ending series of attacks. They take one step, but someone else is always a step ahead. How can they defeat what they cannot see?
But when the gauntlet is thrown down, survival takes on a whole new meaning. And that's when Willow and Cooper come face-to-face with a force that could bury them for good.
How many shapes can evil take?
Get PREY now!
You will devour this book if you're a fan of Michael Connelly's Ballard and Bosch, David Baldacci's King and Maxwell, Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles, or the TV show "Castle."
*Warning: The Ball & Chain Thrillers are an addictive thrill ride full of white-knuckle suspense and sarcastic sass. A mystery-thriller with a slice of humor. Go figure. Proceed with caution.

The torment builds and builds and builds….
He can't deny it.
But in what form will the pressure erupt?
Cooper Chain isn't just down on his luck -- he's almost down for the count. The mob wants a piece of him, and he sees no way out.
It's a special week for Willow Ball, a woman who's survived her own tribulations to reach this milestone in her life.
Through fate -- or a temporary misalignment of the stars -- Willow and Cooper cross paths for the first time since college. Will an unexpected spark re-ignite the flame?
A shattering discovery changes everything for Willow and Cooper. The murder is unlike any other. But what will the cops do about it?
Attacks ensure, chaos ruptures a family . . . Through it all, how can Willow and Cooper find the killer?
But it's not over. As the bodies pile up, a pattern develops and it rocks Willow and Cooper to the core.
And then someone emerges after a three-decade disappearance. Could he be connected to this string of murders?
The past might provide the breadcrumbs to end this nightmare. But Willow and Cooper may not live long enough to see it through.
Will mercy save a life or end many?

Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson
‘Prey’ is the fifth book in the ‘Ball and Chain thriller series’ by John Mefford, and I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Firstly I will start by saying I was hooked on this book from the first page. Mefford lulls you in with Willow Ball and Cooper Chain going about their normal everyday life, without any clue of what is in store for them, but boy does this book have it going on! So many twists and turns that it almost gave me whiplash!
From finding blood on a photograph, to explosions and near misses, Ball and Chain are back and this time something may just be coming for them! Who is the intended victim?
I am completely and utterly engrossed in this series, and it just keeps on getting better. Every time I feel like I have read ‘the best book’, Mefford brings another one out that tops all others. I love the excitement of trying to guess what happens next, and the thrill of these books and they have made me enjoy a genre I usually would have opted to shy away from.
Willow has completely grown on me as a character, and you can’t help but be immersed in her need to learn more about her father. She attempts to meet up with someone who claims to have information, but it leads to a bit of a dead end!
I love the family dynamic of Willow, Cooper and Lauren, and at times to feel sorry for Lauren having to put up with them. The sass had me laughing and I enjoyed the reintroduction to past characters, and the continuation of the story and themes from the previous books.
I’d highly recommend to readers who are seeking a thrill, or a good mystery/ thriller series. Mefford’s writing is just unreal!
5 Stars

Her death has haunted him for over thirty years.
And he's hell-bent on making someone pay.
A father goes missing. Not just any father. But a person once worshipped for his world-class talent.
Enter the most unconventional team around: Willow Ball and Cooper Chain.
As a nurse at the community clinic, Willow has seen the painful effects of heroin addiction. But now she's compelled to help a grieving wife and mother.

Emotions run rampant, stoking one savage response after another. A spark ignites the hate, but what is the real fuel for this wave of brutal crimes?

Don't miss BURY (The Ball & Chain Thrillers Book 3)
Air pumps into the dark night sky.
The blade of the shovel digs deeper and deeper.
And the cries from below are slowly devoured by the howl of a coyote.
Willow Ball and Cooper Chain are tied at the hip -- on some days that's a fantasy, other days a curse.
But there's one thing they agree on: if they hope to outsmart a ruthless crime boss, luck will have to fall their way.
But that's only part of their perilous imbroglio. Life slips off the rails in a hurry . . . and the implications could be deadly.
A shallow grave is uncovered… and it's the unthinkable. With little evidence, authorities have no suspects. But could this be connected to a similar incident more than two decades earlier?
When another girl goes missing, their world stops down. How is Cooper's daughter caught up in the web?
Every path seems blocked, because every person wants something buried. Does that include what Willow and Cooper feel for each other?
Cops are gunned down, friends are framed and murdered -- how can Willow and Cooper make sense of it all to finally end the mayhem?
But when one more person goes missing, it shreds Cooper's heart.
What will Cooper and Willow sacrifice to save his daughter?

Don't miss LURE (The Ball & Chain Thrillers Book 4)
A painting. A memory. A death.
Can safe refuge ever be found?
Mindi Mendrano was a golden goddess with a tennis prowess few had ever seen.
And then she vanished.
Who had the greatest motive to kill her?
Before Cooper Chain can finally get the green light to pen his first book -- a biography on a once-famous tennis phenom -- he must find her. If she's still alive.
Can secrets kill?
A man disappears into the bowels underneath the city of Dallas, and Willow Ball can't make sense of it or the odd people she befriends. Does at least one man have an ulterior motive?
Two die the hard way, leaving Willow and Cooper scrambling to see through a haze of clues.
Can secrets kill?
Retracing every aspect of Mindi's former life, team Ball & Chain uncover a key to her past. But will it unlock memories that create the ultimate time bomb?
The very existence of a hidden society is on the line -- and one man will either force their loyalty or recreate one of the deadliest events in modern history.

Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, #2 bestselling author on Barnes and Noble, and a Readers' Favorite Gold Medal winner.
John W. Mefford has been writing his debut novel since he first entered the work force almost thirty years ago, although he never put words on paper until 2009. Once he started writing, however, he couldn't stop. Many readers ask John from where he gets his ideas. Well, he's a veteran of the corporate rat-race, a former journalist, and he's always been an astute observer of human and social behavior. On top of that, he's really good at embellishing.
A member of International Thriller Writers, John writes novels full of electrifying suspense -- the same types of books he has loved to read since before he could shave.
When he’s not writing, he chases his youth on bike or a basketball court, all while making mental
notes of people and societies across the land.
