# Hawk Mountain A Novel by Conner Habib (Paperback)

**Named a Best Crime and Thriller of the Year by _The Guardian_ and _Irish Times_  
  
An English teacher is gaslit by his charismatic high school bully in this tense story of deception, manipulation, and murder.**  

Single father Todd is relaxing at the beach with his son, Anthony, when he catches sight of a man approaching from the water's edge. As the man draws closer, Todd recognizes him as Jack, who bullied Todd relentlessly in their teenage years but now seems overjoyed to have "run into" his old friend. Jack suggests a meal to catch up. And can he spend the night?

What follows is a fast-paced story of obsession and cunning. As Jack invades Todd's life, pain and intimidation from the past unearth knife-edge suspense in the present. Set in a small town on the New England coast, Conner Habib's debut introduces characters trapped in isolation by the expansive woods and the encroaching ocean, their violence an expression of repressed desire and the damage it can inflict. Both gruesome and tender, _Hawk Mountain_ offers a compelling look at how love and hate are indissoluble, intertwined until the last breath.
