About this audiobook
Robert Mallon has lived for ten quiet years in affluent Santa Barbara, California, when an encounter on a beach with a mysterious young woman shatters his peaceful, carefully constructed life. Despite Mallon's desperate attempts, he loses her and becomes obsessed with discovering why. He hires detective Lydia Marks to uncover the secrets of this stranger's life, and what they learn propels them into a terrifying world of sinister secrets and deadly hatreds.
Targeting Mallon is the master hunter Parish, a man with an expert understanding of evil who preys on rich people's desires for dominance and revenge. Mallon is drawn into a lethal struggle with this deadly adversary-and then another, and another, and another.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is quite a story. I'm glad I took a chance on reading it. That said, I don't think I will be reading another Thomas Perry novel in the near future. It's a very dark novel and the main character is not developed enough for me to balance that darkness. I suspect others will enjoy this more than I did.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Let me say up front, I've never picked up a Thomas Perry book that I didn't just love from word one to word last and this one is no different. It is not part of his series but a stand alone thriller. Robert Mallon made his millions and now he's enjoying them in his own way - quietly and simply. One day on the beach he saves a girl from suicide and, in the process, turns his back on quiet and simple.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The most extreme hunt is for the human animal. This novel looks at that from the perpective of the hunted. Perry always writes believable novels and here deals well with an ordinary protagonist who finds himself in an extraordinary situation. If you like this, I recommend [The Ludi Victor] by [[James Leigh]].
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thomas Perry writes characters that could be any one of us. In this book, an ordinary man is forced to deal with extraordinary challenges and and people from a violent world he has never been exposed to. A great growth path of the average guy and how we adapt to survive.
