CALL ME HUNTER

Jim Shockey

For fans of Terry Hayes, Daniel Silva, and Jack Carr, in this page-turning, unique debut thriller, an elite society of killers goes after the best art in the world for their own gains, when one of them breaks from the pack in order to save his soul and his daughter.
The single greatest work of art in the world is not in the Louvre or The Met, or in any private collection. In fact, its whereabouts are unknown.

Once in a long while, a child is born possessing the rarest of gifts, the innate ability to feel impossible beauty, to recognize priceless works of art. When such a child is discovered, a 250-year-old secret organization called Our World trains them to acquire the greatest works of art through theft, bribery, forgery, and even murder. Once found, the masterpiece will disappear again without anyone ever knowing it surfaced and sold for billions of dollars of profit at a secret auction attended by only the wealthiest of the art world's patrons.

One of Our World's rare geniuses is Zhivago. He is also a psychopathic killer. On his trail is Hunter, a man who will stop at nothing to destroy the organization and save his daughter from suffering the same fate her mother did at its hands.

Jim Shockey has given us a fascinating secret history of art and power in this rich, deep, and dark thriller. CALL ME HUNTER is a remarkably assured debut and hits its mark as surely as a sniper's bullet.

Bulgaria: Bard

CALL ME HUNTER is astoundingly original, relentlessly paced, and purely authentic in a way that only Jim could deliver. Shockey's debut thriller exceeds all expectations. It will leave you breathless and wondering if the story that just consumed you was written on a foundation of more than mere whispers of the truth.
