A hunting trip turns into a manhunt in this chilling predator-versus-prey thriller from an Edgar Award-winning author.
Four guys from the suburbs are about to set out on a hunting trip. Wes is an architectural draftsman with a secret. Leo has a high-level advertising job, but is miserable with ulcers. Milt sells pharmaceuticals but is disdained by his wife-who happens to be the object of passionate desire for Lamar, who works in insurance.
But one of these men is also a killer-and not only of deer. When an LAPD detective is taken out with a sniper rifle, what started out as a friendly outing suddenly turns very dark...
"A superlative storyteller." - Publishers Weekly
