'A rip-roaring read!'
'Amazing.' 'A brilliant book.' 'Wow! You've done it again!' 'So good, I had to keep stopping myself from reading - I didn't want it to end!' 'The author has a definite way with words and his descriptive powers lift the words off the paper to become a movie in the reader's head. The characters are believable; even the secondary supporting characters are very credible.' |
Another rapid-fire crime thriller from yours truly – a cracking page turner that will have you breathless by the time you reach the end! Check out the first two reviews from Goodreads:
This thrilling second instalment in The Hack Trilogy can be read as a stand alone tale, but why not grab the riveting rapid-fire first volume, The Hack? Available from all good online retailers.
This series of gritty, fast-paced international crime thrillers features ex-CIA operative 'The Hunter' and the woman he desires, investigative journalist Kate O'Sullivan. Chief Lee, an incorruptible and relentless investigator with the Royal Thai Police, also plays a large part in both of the first two novels.
From the back cover of the paperback edition of The Hunter:
When a young British couple are brutally murdered on a beach on a holiday island in Thailand, Kate O’Sullivan is sent to investigate for The Crusader newspaper. Two Burmese fishermen have been charged with the crime, but the victims’ parents believe there has been a cover up, and Kate soon learns that all is not as it seems in paradise.
Hunter, the renegade CIA agent Kate had a brief fling with, is obsessed with her. When he learns she’s carrying his child, he follows her to the island, hoping to convince her that his serial killing ways are over and for her to give him a second chance.
But dark forces are at play and evil men who make a fortune from trading in flesh are threatened by Kate’s presence on their island. Soon after arriving, her life spins dangerously out of control as she unwittingly invites their attention – and becomes a potential sex slave herself…

Trigger warning:
Frankly, if you need a trigger warning then it's probably best to look for a different novel.
"Patching goes where other authors fear to tread."
Contains 'hard-hitting realism' that some readers may find disturbing.
This second novel in The Hack Trilogy of fast paced international crime adventures will take you on a rollercoaster journey deep into the dark heart of ‘peak capitalism’ and the vile trade in human flesh and blood.

On theme
This short video from the UK's Guardian newspaper was partly filmed in Ranong, Thailand, where my own charter yacht was constructed in 2007/8 (she sank in 2012 but that's a whole other story!) and describes the appalling phenomenon of modern day slavery and people trafficking - something I have observed first hand.
This news item covers the theme I explore in The Hunter, along with official corruption and the immunity of those with money, especially those living in third world countries. Human lives have little value for some - the Rohingya of Burma/Myanmar are a case in point, with genocide being committed while the world looks on, indifferent to their suffering...
