Publisher Description
“Matt Hilton delivers a thrill a minute. Awesome!”
—Chris Ryan, author of Who Dares Win
“Lee Child’s Jack Reacher could have some worthy competition.”
—Booklist
Fans of Lee Child, Jeffery Deaver, Robert Crais, John Sandford, and Michael Connelly have a new hero to root for: author Matt Hilton’s former military Special Forces operative-turned-problem solver, Joe Hunter. Slash and Burn is the third electrifying thriller in the Hunter series, as the emotional stakes are raised to the limit when he and his new lady love set out to find her missing sister and run head-first into a maniacal Texas millionaire sadist with shady allegiances, a serious bloodlust, and his own private army. Like Dead Men’s Dust and Judgment and Wrath, Hilton’s previous Joe Hunter page-turners, Slash and Burn provides action to the nth degree, and powerfully supports the contention of California’s Contra Costa Times that, “Hunter is one of the most exciting new tough guys to come along in years.”
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Near the outset of Hilton's action-packed third thriller featuring former counterterrorist operative Joe Hunter (after 2010's Judgment and Wrath), Kate Piers, the sister of a late colleague of Hunter's, persuades him to accompany her to Kentucky to track down her missing sister, Imogen. On their arrival at Imogen's burglarized house in a remote part of Appalachia, the pair encounter some gunmen, kicking off a body count that reaches Die Hard proportions. The roster of bad guys would do a James Bond film proud, including murderous twins and their psychotic boss, who's known as Quicksilver for his fast knife work. Early on, Hunter lets a violent sociopath escape, reasoning that he could always kill the guy "another time," a nonsensical decision that unsurprisingly comes back to haunt him. Those who don't mind repeated contrivances that sacrifice logic to prolong the plot will be most rewarded.
Customer Reviews
Fantastic Read for Action Lovers!
I finished this book in two days, only because of the pure action and drama throughout all chapters. Hilton's writing style is terse and to the point and he delivers a fantastic read by utilizing these skills to the maximum. All scenes are depicted almost too realistically, and the reader gets a true sense of what Hunter must deal with to accomplish his objective. All fans of fast paced action novels should give this guy a chance!
