The Hunter's Prayer by Kevin Wignall

The Hunter's Prayer by Kevin Wignall

Sitting in the sun in a small Tuscan town, her boyfriend beside her and a drink in her hand, Ella Hatto's life seems beautiful and calm. But someone is watching her. Something unimaginable is about to happen, and Ella's life will never be the same again.

Drawn suddenly into a dark and deadly world, one that has already claimed the lives of her parents and brother, Ella is forced to face the unbearable truth of her new reality. Gone are the aspirations and dreams she once had--the expectation of a normal life. The new Ella must be ruthless and unforgiving if she is ever to survive.

With the help of Lucas, a retired hitman with his own painful past to escape, Ella goes in search of the enemy she never knew she had. Terrible crimes have been committed--but vengeance will be hers.

“Crisp, lean prose with assault-rifle impact zips the reader across international borders and delineates quirky, engaging charactersThe plot is worthy of the best British spymasters, making Wignall an author to watch.” —Publishers Weekly “The action sequences are terse and commanding, the writing is often elegiac, and the dialogue intriguing.” —The Boston Globe “Kevin Wignall kicks in contemporary coolness, detachment, and humor.” —St. Petersburg Times “Wignall grips the reader with empathy for the guilty of conscience.” —The Scotsman “A superbly executed thriller.” —The Mirror “Lean and stylish prose which any literary writer would be proud of and which cranks up the tension enough for the most demanding of mystery readers. While Wignall’s beautifully drawn hit man struggles to find his own identity, those searching for gripping and grown-up mystery writing should look no further.” —Mark Billingham, author of Time of Death “Kevin Wignall has done it again. The master of the thoughtful crime thriller presents us here with yet another high-octane scenario…” —Paul Finch, bestselling author of Strangers
