To salvage his broken-down ranch, near-bankrupt Ben Pearce devises a hunting scheme, the consequences of which he cannot begin to imagine. The prey: three rare, fierce cats—a leopard and two mountain lions caught in the wild. The predators: an arrogant Texas millionaire, his beautiful but disturbed wife, and their near-psychopathic teenage son. Each of them will hunt one of the animals with only Ben as guide: first the wife, then the son, and finally the Texan. In a closed New Mexico canyon, a hunt conceived in evil will run its deadly course when the hunters discover that the leopard is stalking them—an unexpected twist in this terrifying game that will forever change their lives.

Industry Reviews

"From the resonant, sinewy prose of the opening pages to the horrifying end, there is not a wasted word or a false move in this tautly thrilling novel."
--Los Angeles Times

"A writer of enormous talent, a stylist to admire and a storyteller of great power."
--Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent

"Faust writes beautifully . . . he reminds you of Hemingway and Peter Matthiessen. . . . Faust has it all: lyrical prose, complex characters and provocative plots."
--Booklist

"Faust's clear, unadorned prose and his deft, pure characterization ring with the force of Hemingway or Graham Greene."
--Publishers Weekly
