Casey Benedict is a rising investigative reporter for the London Post. Using her wide network of sources she has exposed countless corrupt and scandalous activities of the powerful and the elite. Sometimes this means that she goes undercover to get the confirmation she needs. This is exactly what she was doing at an exclusive London nightclub when she accidentally overhears a conversation from the next table about a hunt that one of the men at the table had recently heard about from a friend. Casey is intrigued and begins to investigate only to find that the young man the men had been talking about had recently died of an apparent suicide. As she talks with the family and the young man’s girlfriend, who are devastated by his sudden death, Casey begins to suspect that something happened on his trip that may have been the cause for his sudden change in demeanor and maybe even his suicide.

With her colleague Miranda and Ed, a photographer and combat veteran, Casey begins to follow the trail which leads to the exclusive resort of St Tropez and the isolated desserts of Libya, searching for the sinister group who offers extreme hunting experiences to the rich and powerful and then seeks to control them with blackmail. With danger stalking their every move, Casey is determined to seek out and destroy this evil that has destroyed some many lives.

This was an interesting book that was recommended by another author that I enjoy. The plot line was quite interesting and the characters were quite well developed. I found that at several points in the story Casey’s choices seemed extreme and unlikely, but on the whole it was an interesting concept that was executed well. This is the first book of a series and I will definitely read another!
