“Extraordinary.”—Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post
“Hailed as the queen of Irish crime fiction, French spins a taut tale of retribution, sacrifice, and family.”—TIME
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Searcher and “one of the greatest crime novelists writing today” (Vox), a spellbinding new novel set in the Irish countryside.
It’s a blazing summer when two men arrive in a small village in the West of Ireland. One of them is coming home. Both of them are coming to get rich. One of them is coming to die.
Cal Hooper took early retirement from Chicago PD and moved to rural Ireland looking for peace. He’s found it, more or less: he’s built a relationship with a local woman, Lena, and he’s gradually turning Trey Reddy from a half-feral teenager into a good kid going good places. But then Trey’s long-absent father reappears, bringing along an English millionaire and a scheme to find gold in the townland, and suddenly everything the three of them have been building is under threat. Cal and Lena are both ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey, but Trey doesn’t want protecting. What she wants is revenge.
From the writer who is “in a class by herself,” (The New York Times), a nuanced, atmospheric tale that explores what we’ll do for our loved ones, what we’ll do for revenge, and what we sacrifice when the two collide.

It is the second book in the storyline and it was brilliantly crafted. If you enjoyed the Searcher, The Hunter will not disappoint.
The character development, interpersonal relationships and plot line were incredibly well done. I love the characters and find myself attached to them after this second book. I’ve read all of Tana French and she truly is the best of the best. This series is different from her usual in that they are not overwhelmingly tragic, and the main characters are wholesome and likable. Don’t get me wrong I’ve loved all of her darker novels and twisted characters as well, but it’s refreshing to have something lighter, although I find myself worrying about the characters knowing what French is capable of 😅. Feeling more reassured despite some hardships, this series is as close to finding a happy ending as we’re going to get with her.
In a day where it seems everyone and their mother can publish a book, great authors like French stand apart. If you need action on every page or detailed sex senes to hold your attention, however, this may not be the read for you.
The story is of a retired Chicago cop who moves to a small town in Ireland. There is a lot of silence within -- between people giving each other emotional space, between family members pondering the future, between neighbors stewing about the past.
We met Cal, the cop, in the first book where he begins mentoring teenage Trey whose family is a train wreck. Her grifter dad had split and her older brother had disappeared. Trey is a young woman of few words but she doesn't miss much. Cal and his girlfriend Lena represent the only stability and structure in Trey's life. When Trey's con man daddy Johnny reappears, it sets in motion a disastrous chain of events.
The beauty of this book is the wonderful characterizations, sparsely yet completely drawn. Cal is a good man but he has no illusions, particularly about Johnny, who is just like every loser Cal encountered in his long law enforcement career. Trey has become like another daughter to Cal and he will do anything to protect her. But Trey doesn't particularly want to be sheltered and is feisty and independent. And she has an agenda of her own.
