"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." -- Jacket flap.… (plus d'informations)

I started this book with some trepidation as I know that Jim Shockey is a videographer who happens to be a well-known hunter in Canada. What drew me to it was his loving tribute to his wife Louise who passed away in 2023. The book started out fairly well, and it kept my interest, but then the story shifted to depraved acts and unbelievable and convoluted coincidences. I persevered, but it was very difficult. The conspiracy and overseeing group called Our World is an interesting concept. The fact that this group was responsible for hiding and hoarding unimaginably valuable works of art, is believable in this dissolute world of ours today. It was the twisted and convoluted plot that made me lose interest. I continued to read, but when the ending left everything in the air, it turned me off of this book and why I gave it one star. I cannot recommend this book. ( )

Call Me Hunter by Jim Shockey was a very good thriller. I am not sure what category of thriller to put it in since it includes a mystery, art theft, murder, and some aspects of a psychologic thriller. The story is about a young woman in North Carolina receiving a package with a manuscript from an unknown sender. The story revolves around her search for the author and verifying the information in the manuscript. She is an orphan who knows nothing of her birth parents or location. This is also part of the story. There are a number of historic events all related to art, art acquisition/theft/sales, and people associated with the manuscript.

This book was hard to put down. When I started the novel, I was not sure that this book fell into the usual categories that I like. But after about 30 minutes of reading, I wanted to finish the book as quickly as possible. The story just hooked you that quick. ( )
