Attack is the only defence. The Hunter is an explosive debut thriller that splices the heart-pounding action of Terry Hayes' I Am Pilgrim and James Swallow's Nomad with a hero as deadly as Gregg Hurwitz's Orphan X. A troubled genius who vanishes in a mysterious car crash. A disillusioned cop sensing conspiracy in the corridors of power. A ruthless team of mercenaries operating in the shadows. A billion-dollar business that wants the world in its grip. One link connects them all. A champion fighter. Betrayed and searching for the truth. Cameron King is The Hunter.

Attack is the only defence. The Hunter is an explosive debut thriller that splices the heart-pounding action of Terry Hayes' I Am Pilgrim and James Swallow's Nomad with a hero as deadly as Gregg Hurwitz's Orphan X. A troubled genius who vanishes in a mysterious car crash. A disillusioned cop sensing conspiracy in the corridors of power. A ruthless team of mercenaries operating in the shadows. A billion-dollar business that wants the world in its grip. One link connects them all. A champion fighter. Betrayed and searching for the truth. Cameron King is The Hunter.
