Blood Hunt by Neil Gunn
This tense, psychically aware thriller hooks the reader from the first page when a local policeman arrives at the home of an isolated crofter in search of a young fugitive. Blood Hunt is a tale of, love, murder, divided loyalties and the awful human instinct to hunt a fellow animal down - even to death.
From the moment Sandy opens his door we enter into the ancient world of crime and punishment, action and retribution, of passion and the centrality of a woman’s power, brought bang up to date by a precise, psychologically acute narrative of the killed and the killer.
Who is right? Who is wrong? What is the story behind this tale of terror and revenge? Blood Hunt plots these questions and more, as, step by step, it takes the reader across a wild and remote landscape that is the stuff of myth and fable.
Gunn is a major Scottish writer with an international reputation; this beautiful new edition aims to re-establish him as a central figure in Scottish letters.
