The Hunt

Detective Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus return to Los

Angeles when a kidnapping hits close to home—in this breathtaking new thriller

from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman.

Peter and

his partner, Detective Tyler McAdams, are thrown into an unsolved case and

propelled into action when a body is found in the very woods where a man

previously went missing in upstate New York.

But that’s

not the only crisis that Peter has to deal with.

Teresa

McLaughlin, the biological mother of Peter and his wife Rina’s foster son,

Gabe, has fled to Los Angeles with her two children in tow, hoping to avoid a

court injunction amid a messy divorce. But LA is no escape from her problems—she

is found by ruthless men and beaten mercilessly. When she wakes, barely

conscious, Teresa discovers that both of her children are gone and frantically

calls Gabe for help.

With his

mother on the verge of death, Gabe contacts Peter and Rina, as well as his

biological father, the notorious Christopher Donatti, a former hit man from a

known criminal family who’s now a millionaire in Nevada. By bringing Donatti

into the fray, Gabe, Peter, and Rina know they have made a deal with the devil—but

they may not be able to recover the kids without him.

As these

unlikely allies rally to find the kidnappers before things end tragically, they

race headlong toward an explosive confrontation from which no one will emerge unscathed...
