A rich and captivating narrative with intricate loyalties. Tana French gradually increases the tension... By the end, the characters have gained so much substance that, long after reading, I often wonder how they are – a testament to the author's skill.

Return to the dark backdrop of Ardnakelty in the thrilling new sequel to The Searcher. It's a scorching summer day when two men arrive in the village. They come for gold. What they bring is trouble.

Two years have passed since retired cop Cal Hooper moved from Chicago to Western Ireland in search of peace. He has found it, in a way – in his relationship with local woman Lena and the bond he has formed with the half-wild teenager Trey. When the two men show up with a funding plan to find gold in the area, Cal is prepared to do whatever it takes to protect Trey. Because one of the men is no stranger: he is Trey's father.

But Trey doesn't want protection. What he desires is revenge. Filled with tension and slow twist, The Hunter explores what we are willing to do for our loved ones, what we do for revenge, and what we sacrifice when the two collide.
