At the end of Gifted Apprentice, eleven-year-old Sallis is abruptly abandoned by his mentor Elvallon.  Four years later, Sallis is ready to leave his island home and make his way to the mainland to seek his fortune.  He journeys to the large city of Marka where he aspires to be a bounty hunter.  Upon his arrival, he immediately makes some enemies in the City Guard.  Marka is already overflowing with bounty hunters as the wealthy citizens have recently experienced an epidemic of burglaries.  The latest theft also included a murder.  Sallis knows he has an edge with his "gift", but he quickly senses that the crime is more complicated than it originally seemed.Gifted Hunter is an excellent continuation of the story of Sallis.  Sallis is such an engaging and refreshing character.  Most fifteen-year-old boys are held captive by their raging hormones, but Sallis is quiet, calm, and intelligent.  His deductive reasoning and his observational skills would meet the approval of Sherlock Holmes.  I found Gifted Hunter to be a very enjoyable read!
