The Hunted - (Opsig Team Black) by Alan Jacobson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

From a national bestselling author: "A classic cat-and-mouse with enough twists to enthrall even the most veteran thriller reader" (David Baldacci).

How well do you really know the person you love? How far would you go to find out?

If there were one person in the world Dr. Lauren Chambers was sure she could rely on, it was her husband, Michael. Slowly recovering from an agoraphobic depression and still prone to episodes of blinding anxiety, the gifted psychologist has depended on his love and support. So when Michael suddenly and mysteriously vanishes, Lauren once again finds herself balancing on a knife's edge of paranoia.

Is there more to it than paranoia, though? Private investigator Nick Bradley believes so. As the pair takes off on a cross-country journey in search of answers--a search that yields a series of unsettling truths about the husband Lauren believed she knew so well--bestselling author Alan Jacobson sets in motion a page-turning tale of concealed identities, an assassin's vendetta, and murderous revenge.

A master of the shocking twist and the ingenious turn, Jacobson builds an exhilarating road thriller filled with hairpin turns and unexpected detours as Lauren heads for a face-off with the most dangerous secret of all: the truth. From the author of False Accusations and The Lost Codex, this is "a book that is impossible to put down" (Library Journal).

Review Quotes

"Jacobson keeps readers guessing right up until the last page, so trying to put this book down is like trying not to eat the last chocolate chip cookie: most of us will just give in." --"Booklist ""Alan Jacobson follows up his exciting best-selling "False Accusations" with the chilling thriller "The Hunted," a novel that keeps readers' attention all through the long cold night . . . The fast-paced story line reads like a Jack Higgins thriller, but with a clearly Jacobson spin on the plot. This complex novel is worth the hardcover price." --"Midwest Book Review""From beginning to end, Jacobson never falters in his handling of suspense and the multi-plot story. The characters are alive and the events credible to anyone who reads or watches the news. Jacobson has created a book that is impossible to put down and should be added to all fiction collections." --"Library Journal""The characters were like old friends and the inside look at the FBI was terrific. I absolutely LOVE this book!" --Associated Press""The Hunted "is a wild page-turning ride through all kinds of interesting turns and corners and unexpected twists. The characters are so well fleshed out and well developed that they live. It's a well put-together and well thought-out book, one I guarantee you're not going to put down." --National Public Radio"An exciting, well-constructed story that kept me guessing without ever turning me off. I thoroughly enjoyed it." --TV Guide Network"Many books aspire to be this engaging and intelligent. What Alan Jacobson spins is more than just a thrilling story full of plot twists; he has carefully created a hypnotizing series of characters . . . The narration is complete and compelling, and the action is top-notch. To compare Alan Jacobson's work to other masters is to cheat him of his natural ability to set his work apart.
