Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Hunter began his career as a journalist and editor. In 1978, he published his first novel, "The Master Sniper," which introduced the iconic character Bob Lee Swagger, a former Vietnam War sniper living in seclusion. Hunter's subsequent novels have continued to explore the themes of duty, honor, and redemption, often set against the backdrop of wartime or political intrigue. His notable works include "Time to Hunt" (1990), "Black Light" (2004), and the "Sniper" trilogy (2009-2014). Hunter has received numerous accolades, including the Edgar Award for Best Novel, the CWA Silver Dagger Award, and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America.

His books have been adapted into several films, including "Shooter" (2007) and "Shooter: Legacy" (2016), both starring Mark Wahlberg as Bob Lee Swagger.
