Here, an invisible population of the homeless, the desperate, and the mad has carved out its own shadow society.But they are not alone. The pitch-dark tunnels and abandoned subway stations are haunted by the unmistakable sounds of predators in search of game.

With no weapon but his wits, and an unimaginable threat lurking around every dark corner, Jeff must somehow move heaven and earth to escape from a living hell.The Manhattan Hunt Club is the most thrilling and suspenseful novel yet from the ingenious mind of John Saul.
