The Hunter

'Terrific - terrifying, amazing' Stephen King 'One of the greats of contemporary crime fiction' Ian Rankin 'The most important crime novelist to emerge in the last ten years' WASHINGTON POST

It's a blazing summer when two men arrive in the village. They're coming for gold. What they bring is trouble.

Cal Hooper was a Chicago detective, till he moved to the West of Ireland looking for peace. He's found it, more or less - in his relationship with local woman Lena, and the bond he's 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: he's Trey's father.

But Trey doesn't want protecting. What she wants is revenge.

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