For fans of Lisa Gardner and Robert Dugoni—this thriller hits hard and doesn’t let go till the last page.

FBI Agent Aria Hunt’s career went up in flames after Denver debacle. Now she’s stuck in the Bureau’s basement, until five kids vanish, their abductions linked by a chilling pattern only Aria can decipher.

Each crime scene is clean. Too clean.

But when they find a brilliant mathematician and FBI consultant gutted in his study with bloody equations smeared across his walls, Aria knows the killer’s design is far more complex than simple kidnapping.

The children aren’t just victims; they’re pieces in his deadly game.

Paired with Agent Ethan Parker (who makes it clear he’d rather work with anyone else), Aria races to crack the killer’s code as the once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse approaches. With each disappearance, the killer’s spiral tightens, and Aria realizes the children will die on the eclipse day unless she finds the killer.

And as she deciphers the twisted logic behind the abductions, Aria uncovers a terrifying connection to death of her twin brother in her childhood, forcing her to confront her own demons to save the children.

The clock’s ticking. The killer’s brilliance is his most terrifying weapon. And Aria’s beginning to suspect this case has more to do with her past than anyone realizes.

If you lose sleep over dark investigations, complex characters, and nail-biting suspense, HUNTED by Chase Austin is your next addiction.

Perfect for fans of Thomas Harris’s Clarice Starling, Jeffery Deaver’s Lincoln Rhyme series, Gillian Flynn’s razor-sharp protagonists, Patricia Cornwell’s forensic detail, Jo Nesbø’s Harry Hole, and Kathy Reichs’s Temperance Brennan.

This thriller hits all the sweet spots: a damaged but brilliant investigator, a villain who’s always one step ahead, and math that’s somehow scarier than any weapon.
