Cinematic Trailer from the Novel: Hunted

A few years ago,  John R. Beyer, of J and L, wrote and published a novel called Pursued. It received excellent reviews and limited success, and recently gained the attention of Black Opal Books. They were interested enough in the characters and story to encourage John to revisit Pursued and create Hunted. Those of you who are familiar with Pursued will find much to appreciate in Hunted. Those who are not at all familiar with any of his earlier work, can enjoy this new suspense thriller anew.

The Longer Version with a Scene from the Novel

 

 





Snyopsis:

A killer without remorse, burning with pride, and having the time of his life, Zachary Marshall is unstoppable - until Detective Jonas Peters unexpectedly arrives in the midst of one of Marshall's heinous crimes. After a bank robbbery goes from bad to worse and leaves three dead - including a little girl- Marshall finds himself the target of the most intensive manhunt Riverside, California, has ever witnessed.

Detective Peters becomes frustrated and half-crazed as the case falters due to lack of clues and evidence. Ordered to take a vacation from the department before he drives all the other detectives crazy with his constant tirades, he reluctantly agrees. But an innocent remark to the media changes the entire scenario - now the hunter becomes the hunted.

Detective Peters takes this homicide case especially hard, having seen his own young daughter murdered during a bungled convenience-store robbery years earlier. The pain of the darkness is too deep, and the spirits are waiting to remind him; they will not forgive him, and he cannot forgive himself. There will be no rest until Marshall is caught.

Hunted - Release date May 18th 2013 in bookstores everywhere.

Who is Jonas Peters?

Book Review by Les Chappell

In a recent webinar for Cambium Learning (Back to School with Language!), Laureen changed the student names to protect the innocent (as the cliche goes), and has had more than a few inquiries about the identity of Jonas Peters. Laureen simply identified him as a character in her favorite novel.  Her principal often closes conversations with her by asking her to say hello to Jonas or asking how Jonas is doing.

So who is Jonas Peters? Jonas made a cameo appearance in the webinar in the company of Johnny Depp and Bart Simpson, and had the starring role in Pursued, the novel by John R. Beyer. Any resemblance he has to her husband is completely, well, coincidental. At least, that's the story...

You read.  You decide.
