The Hunted

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 beloved husband, Michael. Recovering from an agoraphobic depression and prone to episodes of blinding anxiety, Lauren is a gifted psychologist for whom her husband's love and support mean everything. So when Michael suddenly and mysteriously vanishes, Lauren once again finds herself balancing on a knife's edge, haunted more than ever by an all-too-familiar 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 into motion a page-turning tale of concealed identities, an assassin's vendetta, and murderous revenge. Once again proving his mastery of the shocking twist and the ingenious turn, Jacobson leads readers on an exhilarating road thriller built for hairpin turns and unexpected detours as Lauren heads for a face-off with the most dangerous secret of all: the truth. From Alan Jacobson, "one of the brightest stars of the publishing world" (CNN), comes a chilling follow-up to his breakthrough bestseller False Accusations: a high-velocity thriller of deadly revenge and psychological mayhem. Lightly edited and newly updated, The Hunted introduces a number of characters that figure prominently in Alan Jacobson's later novels, including Department of Defense covert operative Hector DeSantos and FBI director Douglas Knox, along with others who will be returning in future Alan Jacobson novels. Not just a thrilling read, The Hunted is an adventure that lays a solid foundation for many characters and stories slated to come in the Alan Jacobson universe.
