Jeho diela sa vyznačujú rýchlym tempom a typickým drsným štýlom americkej drsnej školy. Prather preslávil svojím unikátnym mixom napätia, humoru a zvodných žien, ktoré často zohrávali kľúčovú úlohu v jeho napínavých zápletkách. Jeho romány skúmajú temnejšie stránky spoločnosti a morálne dilemy, pričom hlavný hrdina sa pohybuje na hrane zákona.
