Life and career
Hunter was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and grew up in Evanston, Illinois. Charles Francis Hunter, a Northwestern University speech professor who was murdered in 1975 by two male prostitutes, was his father. Virginia Ricker Hunter, a children's book writer, was his mother. Since graduating from Northwestern with a degree in journalism in 1968, he was recruited for two years in The Old Guard (3rd Infantry Regiment) in Washington, D.C., which is the guard force for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The Pentagon News is a military newspaper that also wrote for a defense newspaper.
He joined The Baltimore Sun in 1971 and spent a decade at the newspaper's Sunday edition as a copyman. In 1982, he became a film critic, which he stayed in until moving to The Washington Post in the same role in 1997. Hunter received the prestigious Writing Award in 1998 from the American Society of Newspaper Editors, and he was named in 2003 for Criticism. In 2008, he bought a newspaper from the Post.
Point of Impact (filmed as Shooter), Black Light, and Time to Hunt are three of Hunter's thriller books, which culminate in a trilogy starring Vietnam War veteran and sniper Bob "the Nailer" Swagger. Bob Lee Swagger's story continued with The 47th Samurai (2007), Night of Thunder (2008), I, Sniper (2009), The Third Bullet (2013), Sniper's Honor (2014), and G-Man (2017). Two spin-off series have appeared: Hot Springs, Pale Horse Coming, and Havana are three more trilogy centered on Bob Swagger's father, Earl Swagger, while Soft Target (2011) focuses on Bob's long-unknown son, Ray Cruz.
Hunter has written three non-fiction books: Violent Screen: A Critic's 13 Years on Movie Mayhem (1995), a collection of essays from his time in the Sun; American Gunfight (2005), an investigation into Harry S. Truman's attempted assassination attempt on November 1, 1950; and Now Playing at the Valencia, a collection of Washington Post articles. "Dressed To Kill" by Hunter has written a number of non-film-related articles for The Post, including one on Afghanistan: "It's Not Who You Are That Matters, But What You Shot," says the author.
In several of Hunter's books of fiction, he is a firearms enthusiast who is well-known in the gun industry for his firearms expertise. "Many people don't know," he says, "shooting a rifle is a sensual pleasure that's rewarding in and of itself."
Hunter defended the public availability of high-capacity magazines in an interview with NPR on February 16, 2011. Jared Lee Loughner's 33-round magazine was also not clear if it was involved in the shooting, according to him. He had previously stated in his op-ed piece in The Washington Post that extended magazines are particularly useful for women and the elderly, and that they could be used as an alternative to semi-automatic rifles or shotguns. "Women generally don't want to put in the effort to master [rifles and shotguns], he says. Senior citizens are also unable to use [long guns] safely."
