“A dose of pure rocket fuel….I loved this book.”—Christopher Reich

Jack Reacher stand aside, Joe Hunter is on the job! Dead Men’s Dust marks the debut appearance of an unforgettable new tough-guy hero—as Matt Hilton, a superb new thrill-master, joins the ranks of Lee Child, Jeffery Deaver, Robert Crais, John Sandford, and Michael Connelly. Bestselling author Richard Hammond, star of TV’s Top Gear, calls Dead Men’s Dust,“Taut, thrilling, tense and sometimes scary…written with passion and backed up by real experience of some of the darker sides of life.” Readers will be riveted as ex-military officer Hunter follows the trail of his estranged brother, who may be the next target of a terrifying serial killer.

“Hilton is a sparkling new crime fiction talent.”—Peter James, author of Looking Good Dead “Lee Child’s Jack Reacher could have some worthy competition.” —Booklist Following the success of his explosive debut thriller Dead Men’s Dust (“A dose of pure rocket fuel,” —Christopher Reich), author Matt Hilton delivers BIG once again with Judgment & Wrath. Ex-military operative-turned-problem solver for hire Joe Hunter is back—and this time he finds himself the prey of a relentless manhunter and targeted for death after rescuing a young couple from the ruthless assassin. Hilton’s Judgment & Wrath starts fast and keeps accelerating—and fans of Lee Child, Robert Crais, and Michael Connelly will discover they’ve got a new author and a new hero to eagerly follow into the dangerous shadows.

“Hunter is one of the most exciting new tough guys to come along in years.”—Contra Costa Times

When speaking about author Matt Hilton’s former Special Forces operative hero Joe Hunter, Booklist says, “Lee Child’s Jack Reacher could have some worthy competition.” And not only Child’s readers, but dedicated fans of Jeffery Deaver, Robert Crais, John Sandford, Andrew Vachss, and Michael Connelly are going to love Hunter and his ways. Cut and Run is the fourth electrifying thriller to feature Hilton’s tough as nails “problem solver,” as an assassin with Hunter’s face launches a terrifying murder spree intended to frame his adversary—forcing Hunter to run from the pursuing law and his vengeful adversary alike, with no one to turn to for help and nowhere to hide.  Cut and Run is non-stop excitement and Matt Hilton is well on his way to becoming a major force in thriller fiction.

“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.”

Matt Hilton’s pulse-pounding thriller Blood and Ashes has ex-military operative Joe Hunter facing down a gang hell-bent on mass destruction. The police say Brook Reynolds’ death in a car accident was just a tragic accident, but her father knows better, and he wants Joe Hunter to bring her killer to justice. Hunter is skeptical until another attack—and a threat to Brook’s sister—changes his mind. Soon the entire family is under siege and only Joe can truly protect them. The battle to save Brook’s family starts Joe Hunter on a trail of death that leads right to the heart of a racist conspiracy. White supremacists want to hold the government to ransom; and they have got their hands on a dirty bomb to make everyone pay attention. But can Joe stop the plotters before they reduce the free world to ashes?

Dead man's revenge

Martin Maxwell was once an agent of the Secret Service. He was also a man consumed by a fury he quenched through brutal acts of violence that earned him the moniker the Harvestman. Joe Hunter made him pay the price for his crimes and the government covered up his true identity, burying him under the name Tubal Cain.

But Maxwell survived his near death at Hunter's hands. Incarcerated by the military, he was held under the mistaken belief he could be rehabilitated to serve his country once more. Now, he has escaped and begun a new killing spree, targeting those responsible for his defeat and imprisonment.

And he's saving Joe Hunter for last . . .
