The Hunter

'A richly told tale of tangled loyalties. French ratchets up the tension in increments . . . By the end, these characters have taken on such solidity that, long after finishing it, I often catch myself wondering how theyre doing a testament to the authors mastery of her craft' GUARDIAN

Return to the dark underbelly of Ardnakelty in the thrilling new sequel to The Searcher.

-----

Its a blazing summer when two men arrive in the village. Theyre coming for gold. What they bring is trouble.

Two years have passed since retired Police Detective Cal Hooper moved from Chicago to the West of Ireland looking for peace. Hes found it, more or less in his relationship with local woman Lena, and the bond hes formed with half-wild teenager Trey. So when two men turn up with a money-making scheme to find gold in the townland, Cal gets ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey. Because one of the men is no stranger: hes Treys father.

But Trey doesnt want protecting. What she wants is revenge.

Crackling with tension and slow-burn suspense, The Hunter explores what well do for our loved ones, what well do for revenge, and what we sacrifice when the two collide, from the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Tana French.
