Kay Farrow is devastated at the death of her mentor Maddy Yamada, apparently the victim of a hit and run driver. But what looks like an accident turns out to be brutal murder. As she investigates, Kay is drawn into a decadent world of wealth and privilege, where an exclusive gun club provides the cover for acts of unspeakable depravity. In avenging her friend, Kay is led into uncharted waters of sexual excess and depravity. She is exposed to great personal danger and forced to confront the bitterness of betrayal. But she also learns valuable lessons about herself, and discovers the ability to conquer her own nightmares.

Recensione:
[A] very impressive first novel ... unusual, chilling and highly recommended (Mike Ripley's Crime Guide, Daily Telegraph)
TRICK SHOT:
'even better than his debut The Magician's Tale ... Hunt's San Francisco is not the tourist city by The Bay, but its dark underbelly. The evil that confronts Farrow is built step by painful step. Nothing rings false in the terrific 'Trick of Light.' San Francisco Examiner
Brings San Francisco to life with a vengeance ... A dizzy ride on the wild side (Time Out)
Creepy ... griping (Guardian)
'Following her own vision (and nudged on by Hunt's hypnotic prose), Kay conducts an investigation that goes down some very dark alleys and leads to some very bleak truths. But in the inverted imagery of this strange world, the blacker it gets, the lovelier it looks.' New York Times Book Review
Hypnotic prose ... the inverted imagery of this strange world, the blacker it gets, the lovelier it looks. (New York Times Book Review)
'Hunt's witches' brew of the erotic and the menacing is shot through with a genuinely poetic style, and this is mesmerising stuff.' Barry Forshaw, Good Book Guide
Even better than his debut The Magician's Tale ... Nothing rings false in the terrific 'Trick of Light. (San Francisco Examiner)
'unreels like a film noir, full of black-and-white images, grays and shadows' Houston Chronicle
