Twelve years is a long time to eat, sleep and breathe revenge. But if that revenge is the result of miraculously surviving a week of rape and torture--and the loss of a friend--at the hands of a madman the world calls The Butcher, it is understandable.

Miranda Moore's past haunts her daily. And with the horrible discovery of The Butcher's latest mutilated victim in Montana, Miranda becomes even more determined to stop him at all costs.

But when the local sheriff calls in Miranda's former lover, FBI agent Quinn Peterson, to help with the case, her pain surfaces yet again. It was Quinn who helped her recover from her ordeal and loved her, but he also prevented her from becoming an FBI agent. And she hasn't forgotten that betrayal.

The race to prevent another murder is on and Miranda knows she must stop the madman before he kills again. But this time he just might try to finish the job left undone when Miranda escaped with her life.

Allison Brennan's The Hunt is stunning! Her story is detailed without being overblown, her descriptions put you right into the heart of the story and she leaves you breathless as she weaves tenderness, love, loyalty and determination into the violence of murder.

Armchair Interviews says: For a roller coaster ride of suspense, you won't want to miss reading The Hunt. You won't believe who did it. Brennan does murder better than almost everyone writing in the suspense genre.
