Author John Lescroart kicks off the start of what is sure to be another engaging series with his latest novel, The Hunt Club. When a controversal federal judge and his mistress are found murdered, to homicide inspector Devin Juhle, it seems like a simple case of a jealous wife’s rage. However, Juhle’s investigation reveals far more complications: the murdered judge has many powerful enemies who wanted to see him dead. Meanwhile, Juhle’s good friend Wyatt hunt, a foster child, Desert Storm veteran, and now a successful private investigator, thinks he’s found the real thing with the beautiful and talented Andrea Parisi, a lawyer turned celebrity TV Trial commentator, bound for a national anchor job in New York City. Of course, it’s just Hunt’s luck that Juhle uncovers suspicious connections between Andrea and the murdered judge, and when Andrea herself goes missing, Juhle begins to suspect her for having a hand in the homicide, contrary to Hunt’s belief that she was kidnapped. Hunt is determined to find Andrea, and with him are his fellow associates and friends to help him, calling themselves “The Hunt Club.”
