John Saul JOHN SAUL’s first novel， Suffer the Children， published in 1977， was an immediate million-copy bestseller． He has since written twenty-two successive bestselling novels of suspense， including Nightshade， The Right Hand of Evil， The Presence， Black Lightning， Guardian， and The Homing． He is also the author of the New York Times bestselling serial thriller The Blackstone Chronicles， initially published in six installments but now available in one complete volume． Mr． Saul divides his time between Seattle， Washington， and Maui， Hawaii． From the Hardcover．．． The acknowledged master of psychological suspense and heart-stopping terror， New York Times bestselling author John Saul now invites you to descend to chilling new depths of darkness--and discover a secret， savage world that exists beneath our very feet． The promising future of New York City college student Jeff Converse has suddenly been shattered by a nightmarish turn of events． Falsely convicted of a brutal crime， Jeff sees his life vanishing before his eyes． But someone has other plans for Jeff， in a far deadlier place than any penitentiary． He finds himself beneath the teeming streets of Manhattan， in a hidden landscape of twisting tunnels and forgotten subterranean chambers． Here， an invisible population of the homeless， the desperate， and the mad has carved out its own shadow society．But they are not alone． The pitch-dark tunnels and abandoned subway stations are haunted by the unmistakable sounds of predators in search of game． Someone has made this forsaken civilization beneath the city a private killing ground ． ． ． and the hunt is on．Trapped in a treacherous underground maze， cut off at every turn by ragged gangs of sinister ”gamekeepers，” and stalked relentlessly by unseen hunters， Jeff faces overwhelming odds in the race to reach salvation and elude capture． With no weapon but his wits， and an unimaginable threat lurking around every dark corner， Jeff must somehow move heaven and earth to escape from a living hell．The Manhattan Hunt Club is the most thrilling and suspenseful novel yet from the ingenious mind of John Saul．From the Hardcover edition． Kill him， cindy allen silently prayed． kill him， and let me know that this is over． Sensing her tension， Bill reached over and took her hand． ”They’ll lock him up forever，” he said softly． ”They’ll lock him up and you’ll never have to be afraid again．” Though she squeezed Bill’s hand as if his words had comforted her， Cindy knew they weren’t true． She would be afraid for the rest of her life． Afraid to walk by herself in the streets--if she could ever walk again． Afraid to look at the faces of strangers， fearful of what she would see in their eyes： pity and revulsion and embarrassment． Afraid even to look at Bill， of seeing shades of those emotions in his eyes． And all because of the man whose face now filled the screen of the television set at the foot of her bed． She tried to put aside her anger and her fear for a moment， tried to look dispassionately at the face of Jeff Converse． It was a handsome face--she had to admit that． Clean-cut， even features． Not the kind of face you’d expect to see on a monster． Indeed， nothing about Jeff Converse’s pleasing appearance hinted at the cruelty that lay within． Not the dark， wavy hair， not the warm brown eyes， not the expression on his face． In the image on the television screen of the man she’d testified against in court， Jeff Converse looked as frightened as Cindy Allen felt． Except that she knew her fear was real． His was just another lie， like all the lies he’d told in court． ”What if the judge believes him？” she whispered， not quite aware that she’d spoken aloud． ”He won’t believe him，” Bill replied． ”The jury didn’t believe him， and neither will the judge． He’ll give Converse everything he’s got coming to him．” But he won’t， Cindy thought． He might put Jeff Converse in jail， but he won’t do to him what he did to me． As the image of Jeff Converse vanished from the television screen， replaced by the smiling visage of the pretty blonde who anchored the morning news， Cindy looked away， her gaze shifting to the mirror over the dresser that she’d made Bill hang low on the wall so she could see herself as others saw her． ”It will be all right，” Bill had said， trying to reassure her the first time she’d looked into the mirror after the bandages were removed． ”I’ve talked to the doctor， and he says he can repair almost all the damage． It will just take time．” Time， and five surgeries， and more money than she and Bill earned in a year． And even then， even if they found the money and she went through all the procedures the plastic surgeon had explained to her， she wouldn’t be well． Her features might once again bear some resemblance to the face that had been hers until that horrible night six months ago． But even if they could repair the scars on the outside--rebuild her crushed cheekbone and shattered jaw， repair the lower lip that had been nearly torn away when he’d slammed her face into the concrete， breaking five teeth in her lower jaw and four in her upper--they’d never be able to repair the scars on the inside． Even if they could find a way to mend the damage to her spine that had made it impossible for her to walk， they’d never be able to make her feel safe on the streets again． That was what Jeff Converse had taken from her． She had been on her way to meet Bill． It was late， but not that late． He’d had to work， and so had she， and they were going to meet for dinner at ten． The subway was almost．．．  【Adobe eBook形式】
