THE HUNT

A Mike Greystone Book #1

It was a completely normal day, as any other day. Parents were dropping kids to school and chatting with parents of other children in the parking lot. Nothing out of ordinary.

Suddenly, it was as if all hell had broken loose. Scared people were running all over the place. There was thick black smoke hovering over the school building, St. Brigid School, which was located in the affluent suburbs of Pittsburgh. Children and parents were cowering for shelter in the school parking lot. The rhythmic sound of an automatic gun could be heard. Rounds of ammunition were punching into bodywork of cars in the car park, smashing windscreens, lacerating passengers, children, and adults alike. Those in the cars were actually better off than those outside, who had no protection whatsoever. Mayhem.

Mike Greystone, a freelance private investigator, was contracted by Research & Execution agency, clandestine joint venture of major national security agencies, CIA, NSA, FBI and HS, to capture the killer, dead or alive. Mike Greystone didn’t mind the description ‘investigator’, but he sometimes called himself a ‘fixer’. He was fixing other people’s problems, which could include private investigations in some shape or form, but was not limited to PI work. His customer base was not large, but included a broad variety clients, the most prominent being Research & Execution agency, but also private clients who could afford his services. And these were not cheap.

Mike Greystone and his team of operatives and computer geeks undertook the task of tracking down the St. Brigid School shooter. The trail was still warm, but the mad perpetrator was not an easy prey. In fact, he was very dangerous. In fact, he was clever and sophisticated. The predator was not the only hunter. The prey had teeth and claws. The prey was fighting back.
