A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

If you like the Jack Reacher books, you'll love Hilton's series . . . Action-packed from start to finish (Heat on SLASH & BURN)

Joe Hunter is fast becoming a serious rival to Jack Reacher in the action stakes . . . SLASH AND BURN is the kind of novel that grabs you by the scruff of the neck and drags you along at breakneck pace before finally throwing you down exhilarated, breathless and screaming for more. The prose is sparse and so tightly wound it is impossible to turn the pages fast enough, making it a definite read-in-one-sitting novel . . . [Hunter] is an excellent character who is developing more and more as Hilton's confidence as an author grows. (crimesquad.com)

A hell-for-leather tale that spins your head around like a mad fairground Waltzer ride. Eat your heat out, Jason Bourne. (Peterborough Evening Telegraph)

Matt Hilton delivers another hardcore, action-packed gritfest featuring a cold-blooded killer with a heart of gold. (Daily Record)

Praise for DEAD MEN'S DUST:
'A dose of pure rocket fuel. Starts fast, gets faster, and doesn't quit right through to the slam bang finale. DEAD MEN'S DUST is as enjoyable a thriller as you will read this year, and I do mean "Thriller!" My ears are still ringing with gunfire! I loved this book.'

(Christopher Reich)

Hard-hitting and fast-paced, I was hooked from start to finish (Simon Kernick)

Vicious, witty and noir, Hilton is a sparkling new talent (Peter James)

Joe Hunter takes you in at the deep end . . . and never lets up. Breathtaking. (Adrian Magson)

Quatrième de couverture :

Joe Hunter uses the skills he perfected with the CIA and in Special Ops to solve problems. But his sojourn in Florida is recreational . . . until a beautiful, desperate woman walks into his life. Kate Piers wants Hunter to help her find her missing sister. But there are several things Hunter doesn’t know . . .

Like the fact that the sister crossed a very bad man—a millionaire sadist who likes doing the wetwork himself. Or that the maniac has serious connections to the underworld . . . and runs a private army with enough firepower to blow a gaping hole through the heart of Texas.

When a violent encounter with a pair of twin killers in the Kentucky hills results in Kate’s capture, Hunter realizes there’ll be no backing down, no matter how badly the odds are stacked against him. There’s a debt to be repaid and vengeance to be had . . . and when his scorched earth campaign is over, there won’t be anything left to burn.
