Predator & Prey 4: Jury is a fiction novel for Hunter: The Reckoning. It is the fourth book of the Predator & Prey Saga.
Summary[]
- From the White Wolf Catalog:
- Nowhere to Hide
- Undead monsters prowl the city streets, hidden from the eyes of an oblivious world. Those few humans aware of the threat face an uphill battle. Douglas Sands has seen his fellow hunters die. Fleeing monster and law alike, he and three other survivors seek refuge beyond the city - only to discover that the wild forests hold their own secret horrors.
- Kaitlin Stinnet also sees the monsters for what they are. But are the bloodthirsty, raging beasts that much different from the humans she has known? Is there middle ground to be discovered, or arel the answers all black and white, merely to be confirmed by blood?
- Predator & Prey: Jury is the fourth in this series of six novels that explores the Hunters newly arrived within the World of Darkness and the supernatural foes they believe they have an obligation to confront. In the course of the series, the line between hunter and the hunted continues to blur. The series continues with Predator & Prey: Mage.

Memorable Quotes[]
"The grungy man with Kaitlin returned Sands' stare - except Sands no longer saw a man. He saw a hulking, furry beast over eight feet tall, hunched forward from a sizeable protuberance on its back. Bloody spittle dripped down its chest from ominous fangs. The wolfish eyes glared murder. In its claws, the monster gripped...a heavy winter coat. Sands blinked, and again, unable to absorb the incongruity." - Pg. 104
