A fast-paced thriller set in the vast and rugged Yukon wilderness, The Hunt follows an unlikely duo on an exhilarating journey as they battle the terrain and race against the clock to solve a murder--before they become victims themselves. Ben Matthews is less than thrilled when he is posted to Canada from Washington, but he doesn't have time to sit in his disappointment. His diplomatic credentials are still fresh when he is drawn into an urgent assignment: locating an American VIP who vanished on a Yukon hunting trip. Seeking help from the local Mounties, he finds himself paired with Lee Sawchuk; an RCMP sergeant, she is at ease in the challenging terrain of the Yukon environment. Battling nature and their considerable differences, the impromptu team's search takes them to Kluane National Park and beyond--but the missing person is no ordinary VIP, and this is no ordinary search. Faced with a cryptic warning found in the remote Yukon mountains, all Matthews and Sawchuk know for sure is that the clock is ticking--and they only have four days left.
