Hunt Them Down (2019) opens the Pierce Hunt series with a situation that is immediately personal: Hunt’s daughter is kidnapped during a DEA operation, and what follows is a cartel thriller that refuses to let the protagonist keep the professional and the personal separate. Simon Gervais draws on his own DEA liaison work in the Caribbean for the operational texture, and Pierce Hunt’s world — the cartel structures, the inter-agency friction, the violence at the borderline of law enforcement and intelligence work — feels specific in the way that research alone does not produce.

Trained to Hunt and Time to Hunt (both 2020) continue Pierce’s story as the threat he is navigating expands from the cartel level to something with wider intelligence implications. The three books were published by Thomas & Mercer and represent Gervais at the peak of his earlier career before he moved toward the Blackbriar and Caspian Anderson series.
