The Hunter, the Hunted and the Thief is an intricate story that allows the reader a glimpse into a world at once familiar and bizarre, terrifying and comforting. It is the story of three unique characters who find themselves locked in a fateful confrontation with one another, and in doing so, discover the essence of their true natures. The novel takes place during the Great Depression and the characters travel through such diverse landscapes as the Louisianan Bayou and the western Appalachian mountains. The novel weaves together the three characters points of view, just as their lives become tightly woven together as the story progresses. Elements of darkness, the supernatural and old-time Southern religion exist alongside humorous carnival episodes and poignant explorations of the characters’ innermost hopes, fears and dreams.
