Event Description

Join the discussion of The Hunt by Faye Kellerman, which is our Once Upon a Crime Mystery Book Club selection for August. Pick up a copy at the Highland Branch.

Summary: "Peter Decker and his partner, Detective Tyler McAdams, are thrown into an unsolved case and propelled into action when a body is found in Upstate New York, in the very woods where a man previously went missing. Meanwhile Teresa McLaughlin, the biological mother of Peter and Rina's foster son, Gabe, has fled to Los Angeles with her two other children in tow, hoping to avoid a court injunction amid a messy divorce. But in L.A Teresa is found by ruthless men and beaten mercilessly. She wakes to discovers that both of her children are gone, and frantically calls Gabe for help. Unable to assist his mother immediately, Gabe enlists the help of Peter and Rina and contacts his biological father: Christopher Donatti, a former hit man from a known crime family who's now a multi-millionaire in Nevada."
