“In a remote corner of the South African bush, two sisters reunite to bury a family secret once and for all, but when they’re stranded among the wild animals, they find a predator far more dangerous waiting for them in the shadows. . . .

When their conservationist mother passes, Danielle and her sister, Grace, reunite to return to their isolated family house nestled within a wild-game reserve. While Grace clings to nostalgia as their mother’s favorite, only Danielle carries the weight of their enigmatic mother’s final request: “Find the storehouse . . . Burn everything inside.”

What begins as a reluctant homecoming disguised as a safari adventure—each sister inviting two friends to ease the journey—turns into a nightmare when a murder rocks their first morning in the bush. In the chaos that follows, they crash their vehicle, stranding them, with no way to call for help.

Now Danielle must lead them on foot across miles of merciless savannah, with dwindling supplies and only one rifle. As the group navigates land where every rustle could mean death, a truth emerges: someone is sabotaging their escape.

Breathtaking and tense, The Night Hunter maps the treacherous terrain of family duty and loyalty as the two sisters confront what they’ve spent years trying to forget.”

    “With muscular prose, an evocative setting, complex characters, and a pulse-pounding plot, THE NIGHT HUNTER comes roaring onto the scene with all the skill and ferociousness of an apex predator. Moss's stunning debut is sure to be one of the most talked-about books of the year."

    –Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of THE LAST FERRY OUT and WE WERE NEVER HERE

  • Tasha Coryell

    “Twisty and unique, I was never certain whether to be more frightened of the animals at the reserve or the humans. At the center of it all, lies a compelling story about a mother and her two daughters and how they attempt (and sometimes fail) to care for one another.”

    —Tasha Coryell, bestselling author of LOVE LETTERS TO A SERIAL KILLER.

    Safaris can be dangerous. This one is deadly! The South African bush is packed with danger, both human and animal in this chilling, unique thriller. Spectacular!

  • ★★★★★

    I was surprised this was Natalie Moss's debut novel, as it read like it was written by a seasoned professional.

    The Night Hunter - in this novel Natalie Moss doesn’t write a mere thriller; she constructs a pressure cooker and slowly turns up the heat until the reader is as breathless as the protagonists. In The Night Hunter, Moss delivers a chilling, atmospheric masterclass in suspense and rich environment.

    The characters feel genuinely real, the emotional stakes are always high, and the relationship between the main pair is believable and gives the story so much heart. It's is a gripping, character-driven thriller that blends survival tension with real emotional depth, with strong pacing and a super satisfying climax.
