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

While Grace, their mother's favourite, clings to nostalgia, only Danielle carries the knowledge of their mother's final request: "Find the storehouse. . . . Burn everything inside."

Praise for The Night Hunter
"The Night Hunter is an exceptional debut. Moss manages to make the South African bush a character in its own right in this chilling, atmospheric thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat from the very first page to the last. I didn't know what to be more scared of--the characters or the menacing landscape, the evocative description, both a testament to the beautiful, visceral writing in this novel. A twisty, compulsive read--I couldn't put it down."
--Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author of The Sanatorium "Richly atmospheric and utterly transporting, Moss does a masterful job of mixing suspense, family drama, sinister secrets, and fast-paced adventure in The Night Hunter. If you think this is just another destination thriller, you're wrong - this book has roots that make it feel like something special, all while delivering perfectly timed twists and turns that will keep readers on their toes. I felt swept away by this book, and particularly drawn in by the complex relationship between the two sisters. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one."
--Kristen Perrin, New York Times bestselling author of How to Solve Your Own Murder
"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
"Brutal and shrewd in equal measure, this scintillating closed-circle thriller marks Moss as an author to watch."
--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The Night Hunter is a relentless, non-stop thriller at a wildlife reserve in South Africa. With impeccable pacing, buried secrets, and wild animals at every turn, this book is absolutely impossible to put down."
--Samantha Downing, USA Today bestselling author of Too Old for This "Fascinating and terrifying, The Night Hunter by Natalie Moss is utterly compelling, a sister story, a survival story, and so much more. Moss's intimate knowledge of the African landscape and its plant and animal life fairly leaps from every page. The author writes with such assurance, it's hard to believe this is a debut. I predict that readers will be devouring her stories for decades to come!"
--Karen Dionne, author of the #1 international bestseller The Marsh King's Daughter "With safari expertise drawn from the author's real-life experience, Moss delivers a tense, atmospheric thriller for fans of Lucy Foley and Jane Harper, complete with family secrets, dangerous terrain, and a setting you can practically feel on your skin."
--Parade
"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!"
--Allie Reynolds, author of Shiver "The Night Hunter by Natalie Moss is a captivating debut. Thrilling, emotional, and authentically written. Prepare to be transported!"
--Lucy Clarke, Sunday Times bestselling author of One of the Girls
"Buckle up for the most thrilling survival story of the year! What a setting, what a story and what a writer--Natalie Moss is a stunning new voice in crime fiction and about to become your new addiction."
--Matthew Blake, author of A Murder in Paris "I love a thriller and I love a thriller with a big cat! Moss draws on her own safari experiences to deliver this tense and evocative thriller set on a wildlife reserve in South Africa with beautiful but sharp prose, a fantastic twist and a satisfying conclusion. I devoured it."
