A serial sex offender. Two driven cops. One whole mess.

DC Craig Hunter of Police Scotland's Sexual Offences Unit. Ex-Army. Back doing the work that drives him, that makes a difference. Private Sean Tulloch. Squaddie. Monster. He charms women. Moves in, dominates them, abuses them. Under investigation by the Sexual Offences Unit and the Royal Military Police, his partner Paisley Sanderson receives a threat. Soon she's in hospital and Tulloch is in the wind.

Now, Hunter and DS Chantal Jain must hunt Tulloch down before he can strike again. Where is he? How did he know they were investigating him? A simple trip to Portugal soon grows out of control. Will Hunter take down Tulloch before his already horrific crimes escalate? Are the Army Police really on their side? Is DI Bruce really hunting a missing child or do his intentions lie closer to Chantal? Can Hunter and Chantal overcome their very different but very similar demons? And, in Sean Tulloch, has Hunter finally met his match?

THE HUNTED is a fast-paced police procedural, full of action and suspense that will grip you until its breathless conclusion.

The bestselling DI Simon Fenchurch series is set on the gritty streets of East London, with seven books in the series.

The Scott Cullen series of Scottish police procedurals features a young Edinburgh Detective Constable investigating crimes from the bottom rung of the career ladder he's desperate to climb. The first book, "Ghost in the Machine", has been downloaded over 400,000 times, hitting both the Amazon UK & US top five.

Spinning off the Cullen books, the Craig Hunter books star a PTSD-suffering ex-squaddie now working as a cop investigating sexual abuse cases, with lots of slapstick and office banter. The first three books are out now.

DS Vicky Dodds has two books set in Dundee, with another two planned for release in 2021.

I live in the Scottish Borders, Scotland and I write full-time, but used to work in IT project management, where I filled my weekly commute to London by literally writing on planes, trains and automobiles.

I'm a big Ed James fan from his Cullen series - but the Craig Hunter books may become my favorites - though they could easily be called the Chantal Jain series also. Sensitive topics of abuse victims, PTSD, and the challenges of survivors are addressed with care and believability.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hunting the hunters
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2017

Police Scotland detectives, Craig Hunter and Chantal Jain, are on trail of Sean Tulloch who is a brutal hunter of vulnerable women. Craig and Chantel risk their lives (and exposure of their secret love life) trying to arrest Tulloch or get him arrested by an unwilling police force in Portugal where he has fled. Once again Ed James provides a rich story filled with excellent characters and great, realistic dialogue. The italicized insights into the internal thoughts and emotional struggles that both Craig and Chantal are working through provided me a real attachment. Thanks once again, Ed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Repetitive Rubbish
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2017

This is by far the worst of all the Ed James books I have read
(normally I rate them 4 or 5). It was repetitive in the extreme: Hunter & Jain (his sergeant and partner in both senses) go heavy drinking; H&J look for nasty villain but fail; H&J have deep inward-looking discussions and go to sleep; H&J go heavy drinking; H&J look for villain, fail; ...... etc. etc. etc. No detection happens, therefore hardly a plot. Occasionally some well written violence is thrown into the mix, but then the tedium starts again. I love the two central characters, they are complex, driven, fundamentally principled (apart from their drinking habits) however in this book EJ has subjected them to the worst banality. But I am a confirmed EJ fan so, despite Hunted, I still look forward to the next book from him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Police in Portugal not fans of Craig Hunter or Chantal Jain.
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017
Sean Tulloch is a really bad guy. Tulloch is not only a serial rapist, but he enjoys assaulting his victims into the hospital. DC Craig Hunter and partner DS Chantal Jain are hot on the Tulloch trail. "Hunted", (Craig Hunter #2) from author Ed James is a fast paced thriller with plenty of suspense creating a page turning intense yarn. Paisley Sanderson, Tulloch's most recent victim is in the hospital and the team of Hunter and Jain need to get him off the street. Working for DI Sharon McNeill, Hunter and Jain must also conceal their romantic relationship. Although Craig and Chantal's personal lives are the talk of the squad room. Army Captain Brian Rollo-Smith arrives at the precinct headquarters looking for his private gone astray of the law, Sean Tulloch. Hunter wants no part of informing Rollo-Smith of current whereabouts of Tulloch. This is a criminal matter for the Police of Scotland and not the Army. Unfortunately For Hunter and Jain their suspect has fled the country to Portugal. DI McNeill is very hesitant about sending the pair to Portugal since their police powers would be nil. However Hunter talks McNeill into giving the partners a three day trip to Portugal to locate Tulloch and turn him over to local authorities for arrest. Hunter and Jain are told to cooperate with local police and do nothing more. However the pair touch down in Portugal and immediately begin a three day adventure chasing bad guys and give the local police a monster headache. A former partner of Hunter, Finlay Sinclair has retired to Portugal and keeps making a nuisance of himself butting into the Tulloch investigation. Inspector Joao Quaresma of Portugal has the task of working with Hunter and Jain. Needless to say he's disgusted with the pair pretty quickly. Quaresma is trying to push all his available resources into the "Harry Jack" missing person case from Scotland. Harry Jack is a kidnapped missing little boy who has captivated the public's eye for news. The Jack case is the hot story in all the newspapers in Scotland and Portugal. Sightings of Harry keep popping up. As Hunter and Jain rumble their way through Portugal and back to Scotland in pursuit of Tulloch they make enemies everywhere they seem to be. In a very quickly moving plot that touches on PTSD and child abuse as underlying parts to primary story of rape, domestic abuse, and kidnapping Hunter and Jain certainly have their hands full. Also making an appearance is Scott Cullen, author Ed James preeminent character in his own series. Hunter has an immense dislike for Cullen and is hard pressed having to pair up with him. With an explosive ending this high octane thriller was difficult to put down. At just over 420 pages I read this book in just three sittings. As with all of author Ed James thrillers the sometimes the oddball and amazing characters make the book. I thought this second Hunter book was better than the first of the series. All three of author Ed James primary series are outstanding reading. (Scott Cullen- Simon Fenchurch- Craig Hunter) "Hunted" is a do not miss read for sure. Five stars out of a possible five stars for author Ed James, "Hunted". Hopefully soon Mr. James will be bringing out a new Scott Cullen. I'll also be waiting for another Craig James vehicle. Do not miss!

Scary story of some really awful and violent thugs. I enjoyed the ride, it was fast paced and hard to put down. I thought for a while that it might be a bit over the top and unlikely until last week a pursuit team were led into an ambush by a low life with an arsenal of guns. it seemed that he wanted to shoot as many police as possible and he even turned a machine gun onto the police helicopter. He managed to kill one policeman before they shot him dead. Yes I suppose I'm still shocked by this but keep the stories coming Ed even if you do lose me in the streets of Edinburgh and surrounds.

The characters and the story were quite believable, but the flashbacks were too many and not always relevant or required.
