Book Review: Excellent Mystery!
Summary: 5 Stars
When R & B singer Night ( From " Night Work") is kidnapped, his music manager Ivy Greenwich hires D. Hunter to deliver the ransom money so the New York City police don't get involved. Ivy Greenwich also has another young rising singer Bridgette Haze that he wants to transform from teen pop star to the next hot urban R& B singer. That means bringing Bridgette to New York to hang with other urban artist and to be seen at all the local hot spots. With the recent kidnapping of Night and the daily threats he hides,Ivy hires D. Hunter again to protect Bridgette as she roams the city in preparation of the awards show. As the heat starts to rise between the singer and her personal protector people plot deception and hidden agendas.
Nelson George covers a lot of ground in The Accidental Hunter such as interracial relationships,A.I.D.S.,the music business, absentee fathers,drugs,ect... I enjoyed this hip-hop mystery of sorts. I liked that the hip-hop scene wasn't overloaded with designer labels and bling bling. D.Hunter is a charmer trying to run his own business and live with H.I.V. I hope this is the first in a long line of D.Hunter mysteries.
Nelson George knows the music business, the streets of New York and the problems in our community today. With The Accidental Hunter he has brilliantly blended it all together.

Summary of The Accidental Hunter: A D Hunter Mystery
The first assignment is unusual. The second will set D Hunter in urgent pursuit of a mysterious entity that is kidnapping Top Forty hitmakers.Always cloaked in the color black, security specialist D Hunter lives on the periphery of the monied Manhattan nightlife. But he's the man people come to when they need help without the interference of the NYPD. When a rising singer called Night is kidnapped, music manager Ivy Greenwich hires D Hunter to deliver the ransom. Mission is accomplished, but Greenwich isn't finished with Hunter.
Greenwich has devised a tried-and-true plan to transform Bridgette Haze's mega-pop-star image from the tween-bubblegum-pop genre to an edgier urban one: bring her to New York City where she can be seen at the right night spots and work with leading hip-hop producers. But the recent near tragedy with Night convinces him that she'll need extra protection. D isn't really in the bodyguard business anymore, but he needs the money. So he reluctantly agrees, never expecting he'll need to fight both a surprising sexual attraction to Haze and the determination of one who is seeking revenge for betrayals of the past.
Set in the hip-hop clubs and shrouded secret hearts of New York City, The Accidental Hunter is a page-turning adventure.
