Reviews

[Bill · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bridger reminded me of Parker in the Donald Westlake (aka Richard Stark)books--a crook who has his own set of rules to stay alive at any cost. As is usual in these books Bridger is set up to take a fall when a house robbery goes bad. Bridger works his way through the problem with fast talking, a gun, and lots of chutzpah. Escapist reading at its best.

I love Mr. Hunt's writing style. Short and to the point. I think this might be the first book in the Bridger series. He is a good hero, knows his limits. He plans his heists. He moves to violence only when he is forced to do so.

I recommend him for a good, fast read. He will keep you guessing.

Fantastic writer! Hunt's characters are complex, taciturn, tough and smart. Never a false note in Hunt's books. One of my best recent mystery finds hands down!
