The Labyrinth’s Hunter

Women come to Martin Hale because they want to disappear.

Amanda Claridge gives them a head start, a carefully constructed set of rules and the intoxicating certainty that somewhere behind them, Hunter is paying attention to nothing else. Martin has built his reputation on patience, observation and an unsettling ability to understand where someone will go before she gets there.

Claire Donovan intends to ruin his perfect record.

A crisis-management consultant who has made a career out of anticipating other people’s moves, Claire doesn’t book Hunter because she wants to be caught. She wants to prove that he can’t find her. Their first encounter becomes a battle of false trails, changing rules and mutual fascination, followed by another appointment neither of them particularly needs and both are considerably too interested in repeating.

But Claire’s professional talent for making problems disappear eventually puts her in possession of information powerful people would rather keep buried, and for once, walking away isn’t enough. When she vanishes without another booking, Martin knows better than to follow a woman who hasn’t asked to be found. Until she leaves him one clue.

Claire has spent her entire life knowing exactly how to disappear. She never expected to meet a man who would teach her what it feels like to want to be found.
