Deadly hunt

THE BOOK THAT GAVE RISE TO THE FILM The young and beautiful wife of drug dealer Kenan Khoury is kidnapped in broad daylight. The kidnappers demand a ransom, which Kenan promptly pays after a brief negotiation. Then he gets her back... dismembered in the trunk of an abandoned car. Private detective Matt Scudder is hired to investigate the motives behind this sinister kidnapping and find those responsible. Although he has no particular fondness for drug dealers, Matt knows that a man like Kenan can't go to the police. As he progresses, he discovers a terrifying similarity to other cases that have occurred in New York. Thus, Matt's investigation becomes a race against time as he gathers what little information he can to avoid a new victim. • Manhunt was adapted for the big screen with Liam Neeson in the role of Matt Scudder and is scheduled for release in Brazil in December of this year.
