Hunting with Mark (The 1921 Berolzheimer hunting trip to Little Saint Simons Island, Georgia)

Based on a striking true story, Hunting With Mark bridges the elite power corridors of 1920s Tammany Hall and the untamed Georgia wilderness, capturing the raw, post-WWI reality of the veterans who literally built the modern American century.

Two worlds. One haunted past. A choice that could cost him his soul.

The roaring twenties are in full swing, but the glittering streets of New York City hold little warmth for Frank. A scarred World War I veteran from the deep South, he spends his days buried alive, working as a surveyor in the suffocating, dangerous depths of the Holland Tunnel. The trenches of France never truly left him, and the ghosts of his fallen brothers still echo in the dark.

Everything changes when a chance encounter pulls him from the subterranean muck and thrusts him into the opulent, cutthroat inner circle of Tammany Hall’s political elite. Invited to serve as a hunting guide for these powerful, morally gray men on a wild, remote island off the Georgia coast, Frank is caught between two entirely different lives. The untamed beauty of the southern wilderness calls to his roots, while the intoxicating promises of wealth and influence in the North threaten to swallow him whole.

Surrounded by a found family of fellow veterans and ruthless power brokers, Frank must navigate treacherous swamps, deadly predators, and the shadowed motives of the men who run the greatest city in the world. As ancient island rituals test his loyalty, he faces an impossible crossroads. To claim his future, he must finally confront the demons of his past.

For fans of Amor Towles and The Alienist craving found family, morally gray characters, and high-stakes historical survival.
