If you read The Searcher , you’ve been waiting for this. Tana French returns to the rugged, deceptive landscape of rural Ireland. Retired Chicago cop Cal Hooper and the fierce teenager Trey are back, this time dealing with Trey’s long-absent father, who rolls into town with a get-rich-quick scheme. French writes slow-burn tension like no one else. The Hunter is less about the crime and more about the land, the loyalty, and the explosive silence of a small town. "Masterful."
