Dear Reader,

I'm delighted to announce the publication of THE HUNTER on January 3, 2012.  This novel, my 23rd book, features the third adventure of San Francisco private investigator Wyatt Hunt.  Raised by loving adopted parents, Hunt never had an interest in finding his birth family — until he gets a chilling text message from an unknown number:  "How did your mother die?"  

The answer is murder and, urged on by curiosity and the mysterious texter, Hunt takes on a case he never knew existed, one that has lain unsolved for decades.  His family's dark past unfurls in dead ends.  Child Protective Services, who suspected but could never prove that Hunt was being neglected, is uninformed; his birth father, twice tried but never convicted of the murder, is in hiding; Evie, his mother's drug-addicted religious fanatic of a friend, is untraceable.  And who is the texter, and how are they connected to Hunt?

Yet in the present, time is running out.  The texter, who insists the killer is out there, refuses to be identified.  The cat-and-mouse game leads Hunt across the country and eventually to places far more exotic — and far more dangerous.  As the chase escalates, so does the threat, for the killer has a secret that can only be trusted to the grave.  

I'm so excited about this book that I'd like to have readers get their hands on it and start talking about it.  So I'm offering A FREE SIGNED COPY OF THE HUNTER TO TWENTY LUCKY LOTTERY WINNERS!!  Just email me by February 10, 2012 at jles@calweb.com.  Include your name and address and put "Free Hunter" in the subject line.  I'll be sending out the winning books by March 1st.  Happy reading!

And remember, I'm always happy to hear from my readers about any- and everything.  Write me at my website, www.JohnLescroart.com or visit me on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/johnlescroart) or Twitter (www.twitter.com/johnlescroart).  And thanks for being such a great and important part of my life.
