Synopsis

Mickey Dade hates deskwork, but that’s all he’s been doing at Wyatt Hunt’s private investigative service, The Hunt Club. His itch to be active is answered when a body is discovered: It’s Dominic Como, one of San Francisco’s most high profile activists—a charismatic man known as much for his expensive suits as his work on a half-dozen nonprofit boards. One “person of interest” in the case is Como’s business associate, Alicia Thorpe—young, gorgeous, and the sister of one of Mickey’s friends.As Mickey and Hunt are pulled into the case, they soon learn that the city’s golden fundraiser was involved in some highly suspect deals. And the lovely Alicia knows more about this—and more about Como—than she’s letting on. Treasure Hunt is both a nail-biting thriller and a coming-of-age story, filled with Lescroart’s trademark San Francisco flavors. Mickey Dade, its young protagonist, gradually learns the hard lessons Hunt knows only too well, as the world he thought he knew unravels around him.

Good series. This is the second. Waiting for the third. I do hope they lead into the next book with more consistency than they did this one. The transition was not smooth.......more

Goodreads review by Linda on June 19, 2021

This is different John Lescroat voice. I have always read the Dismis Hardy series, I know the pace and structure, so even though some of the characters were familiar, the pace was different. Wyatt Hunt's, The Hunt Club, seems to be drying up, business is so bad, Wyatt may have to close the doors. His......more

John Lescroart writes character-driven thrillers set in San Francisco. He is, in his own way, a definitive writer of the city. When I think of writers who capture the feel of San Francisco I always think of John Lescroart. This is the second in a relatively new series by Lescroart and it's a pretty g......more
