Dec 2023

Hunter is the former Pulitzer Prize winning film critic for the Washington Post. Although he has written some freestanding novels, most of his novels involve the Swaggers.

His best known character is Bob Lee Swagger, a former US Marine sniper in Vietnam. Other members of the family are his father Earl, an ex-marine who won the Medal of Honor on Iwo Jima, and spent the last ten years of his life as a highway patrolman in Arkansas, and his grandfather Charles, a sheriff in Arkansas. A couple of books revolve around Ray Cruz, Bob Lee’s son.

Time to Hunt is the third Bob Lee Swagger novel, and is largely the origin story of “Bob the Nailer.” Next month Front Sight will be released — a collection of three novellas; one for each of the Swaggers.
