The Night Hunter

About this book

"A twisty, compulsive read - I couldn't put it down."--Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author of The Sanatorium In a remote corner of the South African bush, two sisters reunite to bury a family secret once and for all, but when they're stranded among the wild animals, they find a predator far more dangerous waiting for them in the shadows. . . . When their conservationist mother passes, Danielle and her estranged sister Grace must return to their isolated family house nestled within a wild-game reserve. While Grace, their mother's favorite, clings to nostalgia, only Danielle carries the knowledge of her final request: "Find the storehouse . . . Burn everything inside." To ease the pain of their homecoming--and the tension between them--each sister invites two friends on the two-day journey into the bush. What starts as a safari adventure, turns into a nightmare when one of them is murdered the first morning at the campsite. In the chaos that follows, they crash their vehicle, stranding them, with no way to call for help. Now, with dwindling supplies and only one rifle, Danielle must lead them on foot across miles of merciless savannah. They have days of walking ahead...if they survive that long. As the group navigates land where every rustle could mean death, a truth emerges: someone is sabotaging their escape. Breathtaking and tense, The Night Hunter maps the treacherous terrain of family duty and loyalty as the two sisters confront what they've spent years trying to forget.
