Hunter

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Searcher and “one of the greatest crime novelists writing today” (Vox), a spellbinding new novel set in the Irish countryside

It’s a blazing summer when two men arrive in a small village in the West of Ireland

One of them is coming home

Both of them are coming to get rich

One of them is coming to die

Cal Hooper took early retirement from Chicago PD and moved to rural Ireland looking for peace

He’s found it, more or less: he’s built a relationship with a local woman, Lena, and he’s gradually turning Trey Reddy from a half-feral teenager into a good kid going good places

But then Trey’s long-absent father reappears, bringing along an English millionaire and a scheme to find gold in the townland, and suddenly everything the three of them have been building is under threat

Cal and Lena are both ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey, but Trey doesn’t want protecting

What she wants is revenge

From the writer who is “in a class by herself,” (The New York Times), a nuanced, atmospheric tale that explores what we’ll do for our loved ones, what we’ll do for revenge, and what we sacrifice when the two collide.
