A heart-racing read from the master of adventure
"Yet another thriller tale that keeps the reader guessing" Daily Telegraph
"Australian author Park knows his subject intimately" The Guardian
Tony Park's trademark storytelling prowess turns this hunt into a thrilling - and deadly - escapade through some of the most dangerous, yet beautiful, places on earth.
Safari guide and private investigator Hudson Brand hunts people, not animals. He's on the trail of Linley Brown who's been named as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
Linley's friend, Kate, supposedly died in a fiery car accident in Zimbabwe, but Kate's sister wants to believe it is an elaborate fraud.
South African detective Sannie van Rensburg is also looking for Linley, as well as a serial killer who has been murdering prostitutes on Sannie's watch. Top of her list of suspects is Hudson Brand.
Sannie and Hudson cross paths and swords as they track the elusive Linley from South Africa and Zimbabwe to the wilds of Kenya's Masai Mara game reserve.
"Australian author Park, who spends much of his time living in South Africa, writes in the vein of Wilbur Smith and Bryce Courtenay, with a deep love for the African bush and wildlife." Sunday Age
Fans of David Baldacci, Wilbur Smith and Ken Follett will love Tony Park.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Australian crime writer Tony Park spends almost half his time in Africa, and his intimate knowledge of the continent is on display in this intriguing thriller. Zimbabwean expat Linley Brown longs to leave behind her life of petty crime, but her troubled past has attracted the attention of a determined South African police detective and an American-born safari guide and private investigator. Meanwhile, a serial killer is mutilating young women in increasingly brazen crimes. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Africa’s disjointed cities and majestic wilderness, The Hunter is both gripping adventure story and frightening police procedural.
