Synopsis

A lightning-fast police procedural from an up-and-coming talent, The Hunted introduces a homicide detective who gets the shock of his life while tracking a most ingenious serial killer.

From a writer whose previous works Robert B. Parker declared “compelling... swiftly told,” and James W. Hall called “top-notch,” comes this first electrifying thriller featuring New York City homicide detective Frank Russo.

The Hunted begins with a little girl witnessing a horrible crime. Due to the child’s testimony, the murderer is convicted. Eighteen years later the killer is released on parole, and his mission is to track down the now-grown woman he feels betrayed him. A deranged dance of masked identities ensues, and it is up to newly single homicide detective Frank Russo to unravel the case.

I enjoyed the pace of the book and there were really no lulls in story line. One of the drawbacks for me is that the characters mostly seem......more

Book 27 of '24 - The Hunted by Wayne Barcomb (309). I've read this one before years ago - an old fashioned procedural mystery - still a good read, even the 2nd time. The police procedural can get bogged down in the details, but this one keeps the story moving by flashing to the killer's Point of Vie......more
