A man who is very prominent in San Francisco's philanthropy circle is found dead and The Hunt Club's Mickey Dade is the one who found him. The Hunt Club has been struggling to find clients, so when a friend of Mickey's asks him to figure out who murdered the man and to help his sister who had been his driver, Mickey cooks up a scheme that will allow him to help the girl and to help the Hunt Club get back in the game. A reward fund is set up and people give their clues to the Hunt Club regarding the murder. The Hunt Club investigates and passes along all worthwhile leads to the police. Soon another body is found of another director of a social organization and there seem to be lots of suspects and plenty of danger for The Hunt Club.
John Lescroart is one of my favorite authors and has been for a long time. I thought this book started out a little slow even though the dead body was found in the first few pages. Still, the book picked up and the characters are very interesting people with well-formed relationships. This book didn't include Glitzky or Dismas Hardy but it did include some other favorites. I ended up enjoying this book very much and I'm eager for another Lescroart addition.
Rating - B+
