“There’s nothing lost that can’t be found again.” But what if it’s your brother who is lost? And what if the last time you saw him, he tried to kill you?
A terrific page turner of a thriller that pivots beautifully on the relationship between professional fighter Cameron Hunter and policeman Ray Peralda. The heroine is tough and smart, her sidekick is honourable and insightful. Both are recovering from injuries, physical and mental.
The baddies are insanely bad, the technology-based sleuthing is fun (I taped over my laptop camera before writing this review), the fighting is balletic and visceral.
Echoes of Pattern Recognition (William Gibson) and The Power of One (Bryce Courtenay), all in a good way.
The ending is knock-out brilliant!
Wonderfully cinematic, “The Hunter” would make a cracking film or TV series.
I for one can’t wait to see Cameron in the ring again.

Fast paced chaser thriller with some interesting futuristic plots. I struggled to keep interested in this and found myself speed reading it. Ok read but I’d not hurry back for a sequel

Over hyped
Disappointing from start to finish. Definitely not a challenger to Mr Child or any other established thriller writer. Thinly drawn quirky characters, jumbled plotting, too long and drawn out denouement. I could not wait to finish this book so I could read anything else.
