Publisher Description

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.

"An engaging read, where Perry doesn't bog you down with police minutiae. Maybe I've just read an excess of thrillers and willing to allow certain author lapses (the ones mentioned in the low rated reviews) to keep me from harping over needless drivel?"

— Leon (4 out of 5 stars)

    " I like Thomas Perry, but this is not one of his better efforts. The plot is just too fantastic to be believed, but is topped by an even more unbelievable ending. "

    " This novel is slow and long at the beginning. The ending rescues and saves it.. 7 of 10 stars "

    " This was heading into 4-star territory, right up until the end, which left way too many loose ends, not to mention dead bodies, for my taste. But a really interesting idea, and well-written. "

  • Overall Performance: 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

    " One of the least credible endings I've ever encountered. The mild-mannered construction company CEO sneaks into the complex where the professional killers are entrenched in the vague hope of "finding evidence against them" and ends up killing them all, one by one. You've got to be kidding me. "

    " A bit more 'procedural' than some other Perry's (I just didn't connect to the main character as much as some of his others). "

    " Definitely worth reading if you like Perry (he's a favorite of mine), though not in the highest tier of his works (The Butcher's Boy and the sequel Sleeping Dogs are still tops IMO). Interesting plot angles, but some holes/improbabilities. "

    " meh, its okay. It's not too bad. I read Pursuit and I liked his style, so I got another one (Dead Aim) from the library. Started it, lost it, paid the fine, found it, tried to return it, couldn't now I'm reading it. Its a nominal mystery thriller. "

    " Love this author. His Jane Whitefield series is excellent. I like his stand alone stories almost as much. This one was very entertaining. Perry loves a good 'manhunt' themed premise. I guess his readers do, too. "
