________________


I make things disappear. It’s what I do. This time I’m tidying up the loose ends after a casino heist gone bad. The loose ends being a million cash. But I only have 48 hours, and there’s a guy out there who wants my head in a bag.

He’ll have to find me first. They don’t call me the Ghostman for nothing...

Praise for Ghostman

Quite astonishing . . . Mature, impeccably researched and written with supreme panache, it moves like a black mamba and is every bit as deadly. Fierce, taut and with an intensity that burns the lungs, I doubt whether there will be a debut thriller to match it this year, or even next

DAILY MAIL

Startling and sparkling assurance . . . A star is born? Quite possibly

SUNDAY TIMES

Full of authentic detail, seedy locations and a high corpse count, it keeps you hooked until the very last page

SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

Brilliantly clever, gripping and action-packed. Utterly original and bound to become a big-budget movie.

SUNDAY MIRROR

Fast, hard and knowing: this is an amazing debut full of intrigue, tradecraft and suspense. Read it immediately!

LEE CHILD

A slam-bang, pedal-to-the-metal crime story . . . I absolutely loved this book and cannot recommend it highly enough

CHRISTOPHER REICH

Impressive . . . It's one to buckle yourself in for because the ride is fast, thrilling and constantly veering all over the road with a very exciting new talent at the wheel

Simon Toyne, author of SANCTUS and THE KEY

Hip and stylish . . . a winning blend of tough action and authentic detail, and an enigma of a lead character that you'll want to meet again. An outstanding debut

CHRIS EWAN, author of SAFE HOUSE

An astonishing debut . . . Hobbs is up there with the best . . . a masterpiece

Guardian

Smoking-fast . . . the debut of a gifted crime writer who will only get better
