“Dead Men’s Dust” by Matt Hilton. (William Morrow $24.99, 336 pages. Hard cover.) www.MattHiltonBooks.com
Joe Hunter is the perfect Grit-Lit tough guy. If you haven’t been able to satisfy your jones for Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, Robert Crais Joe Pike or are still re-reading Travis McGee hoping John D will rise from his grave and write another unmatched novel, dig out your credit or library card and order “Dead Men’s Dust.”
Hunter is a former Special Forces agent with exceptional killing skills. Skills that lead some to call him a vigilante. But, if you’re a single mom whose children have been threatened, Hunter’s the guy you need.
Hunter is one of the most exciting new tough guys to come along in years. And he’s up against a devious, smarmy, rotten, scary tough guy, Tubal Cain. Just the name makes you want to cock and lock your Glock, doesn’t it?
Hunter spent years in the Special Forces hunting bad guys. His objective — kill murderous thugs, save innocent strangers. Now, trusty SIG Sauer strapped to his side, he sets out on another mission. Only this time, it’s personal.
