JUDGEMENT & WRATH BY MATT HILTON
Author and THRILLERS, KILLERS N CHILLERS editor Matt Hilton's 2009 debut novel 'Dead Men's Dust' was such a rush of a read that I threw a sickie to finish it.Luckily I'm self-employed. The follow up 'Judgement & Wrath' is equally as wild a ride and just as enjoyable.
Joe Hunter is a hardboiled Brit Grit action hero who is now working in the U.S. as a sort of freelance vigilante. He's hired to save a woman from a boyfriend who is too handy with his fists but all is not as it seems. The high octane villain of the piece is a psychotic hit man called Dantalion and there is a smashing and colourful supporting cast, too.
Hunter is a convincing tough guy with a likable, down to earth sense of humour and Dantalion is a cracking, nasty, mentalist villain.
'Judgement & Wrath' is a worthy sequel to 'Dead Men's Dust' and an action packed, fast paced and lovably over the top read.
Matt Hilton actually already has two more Joe Hunter books out and I'll certainly be catching up with them as soon as.

Good post Mr B.
I've recently finished J&W and totally agree that it's a roller coaster read. Via this blog I'd like to congratulate Matt on penning such a thoroughly enjoyable novel.
Kind regards.
Yes, great post, Paul. I met Matt earlier this year and he's a genuinely great bloke. If you liked the first 2, Slash & Burn (No. 3)is awesome and I'm just about to start Cut & Run, which if the fourth installment.
Yup - I 'second' all the above - with the added rider that you need to hang onto your seats with C&R - it'll knock the breath out of you! :-o
Enjoy, you lucky people! Meanwhile, roll on February and the release of Blood & Ashes :-)
