The Manhattan Hunt Club--#42 finished

This is an older mass market paperback that I have had on a shelf for several years.  I do not even remember where it came from, I don't think it was PBS unless it was a free throw in book at some point, maybe a library sale book--just don't know.  Book was published in 2001 so 25 years old now too.  The elites of New York have found a way to get the worst criminals secretly released into the tunnels and subway lines below New York and then the elites hunt them down.  In a macabre part of the story, the bodies are then brought back to the club where a taxidermist stuffs them--this was mentioned a few times but I just don't understand why anything this sick made it into the story.  Also these bodies are then just evidence against these elite if ever found too.  Oh well, one of those sent into the tunnels was of course innocent and dating/engaged to a daughter of one of the elite.  This guy gets a message out and his dad and the daughter join the tunnels in search of him.  They are able to kill of the hunters and survive.  Not a great read but interesting I guess in the idea.

There are already 17 copies of this book in PBS so I will not add to that.  It will go onto my donate away pile.  Seems like a good one for one of the free small library boxes around.
