About this listen

INSTANT #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

An elite secret society of killers has controlled the world’s treasures for hundreds of years…until one member tears himself free to salvage his soul and protect his daughter’s life in this “astoundingly original, relentlessly paced, and purely authentic” (Jack Carr) debut.

The single greatest work of art in the world is not in the Louvre or The Met, or in any private collection. In fact, its whereabouts are unknown.

Once in a long while, a child is born possessing the rarest of gifts, the innate ability to feel impossible beauty, to recognize priceless works of art. When such a child is discovered, a 250-year-old secret organization called Our World trains them to acquire the greatest works of art through theft, bribery, forgery, and even murder. Once found, the masterpiece will disappear again without anyone ever knowing it surfaced and sold for billions of dollars of profit at a secret auction attended by only the wealthiest of the art world’s patrons.

One of Our World’s rare geniuses is Zhivago. He is also a psychopathic killer. On his trail is Hunter, a man who will stop at nothing to destroy the organization and save his daughter from suffering the same fate her mother did at its hands.

Critic reviews

"If you think you know Jim Shockey from his award-winning shows on television, think again. CALL ME HUNTER proves Jim is more than one of the world’s most respected hunters and outdoorsman. Much more. He is a man of letters. CALL ME HUNTER is astoundingly original, relentlessly paced, and purely authentic in a way that only Jim could deliver. Shockey's debut thriller exceeds all expectations. It will leave you breathless and wondering if the story that just consumed you was written on a foundation of more than mere whispers of the truth." (Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of ONLY THE DEAD)

“There were so many moments in Jim Shockey’s CALL ME HUNTER where I said “Is this true? Is this real?” that the experience reminded me of reading The DaVinci Code for the first time. Written with deep insight into the mysterious world of art and art collectors, Shockey’s debut is riveting and wholly original. I loved it.” (Mark Sullivan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Green Valley and Beneath a Scarlet Sky)

"My hat’s off to Jim Shockey. One of the world’s greatest hunters spins a tale of pursuit of a different stripe. CALL ME HUNTER is a fascinating descent into the world of priceless art and artifacts and the brilliant savant child born to identify them. Throw in a passel of psychopathic killers and a shadowy organization bent on obtaining these objects at any cost and you have the making of a first-rate thriller." (Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series)

I picked this up after hearing the author on Jack Carr's podcast and based on their conversation and Jack's recommendations I had high expectations.
It took me a couple chapters to understand the story lines and figure out the beginning of the plot and what was going on. Then started to really enjoy it. The narration was great and animated. I continued to enjoy the story until it started to become long and drawn out. Sections would get really interesting and draw me back in, but then it would get longer and more drawn out. There are several different story lines for character development that parallel one another wherein the book begins to drone on. The narration that I once found entertaining began to become annoying at points. The story kept me tuned in as I wanted some conclusion and closure to what was going on.
Parts of the ending seemed a bit out of place and a bit overly brutal. The story concept in itself is very interesting but I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped.

Good, sometimes Great, but overall just Okay

This is way different than the books I normally listen to, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Well done with very unique characters. If you're on the fence just do it.

Hard to believe this is his first novel.

I really enjoy the suspense. There are allot of narrative changes, character jumping, and crazy surprises mixed in which make for a really great "stay tuned"/"edge of your seat" kind of thriller.

Great suspense.

Glad I picked this book. Interesting characters taking interesting journeys but still has the grit of evil.

Great First for what I hope is a series

Scott Brick is a good narrator but his style is a bit overdramatic for me. Oddly I liked it when the author narrated his particular parts, it was a welcome break from Scott.

The story line was different, didn't quite get there for me, I was expecting more along the lines of the story description about assassin, manipulation,.....

Different, narration a bit over the top

It was a good story but I thought the end was a bit abrupt. I wanted to know more about what happens to the main character. Maybe there will be another book?
