BLOOD TRACKS - the first Tess Grey and Po Villere Thriller - by Matt Hilton

Coming this November from Severn House Publishers

When her local District Attorney offers her a considerable sum of money to track down state witness Crawford Wynne, private investigator Tess Grey is in no position to refuse. Wynne is one of the few men still alive who can help the State nail vicious drug lord Albert Suarez. But Tess is not the only one trying to track Wynne down. Suarez’s psychotic brother Hector has been hunting and butchering anyone who is a danger to his brother.
Tess needs help and there’s only one man she can turn to: Southern renegade ex-con Nicolas Villere, known to all as Po. Po always gets his man, but he has never been teamed with a woman before. Both have their own agenda for taking on this case, and neither fully trusts the other. But of one thing they are sure: if they don’t cover each other’s backs, they are both going to die…

The Devil's Anvil is Nigh

The Devil's Anvil - the tenth staggering Joe Hunter thriller - will soon hit the shelves and E-readers far and wide. It's just a little over a fortnight until the official publication date on 4th June 2015. I know some of my readers have been eagerly anticipating Hunter's return, being fifteen months since we last saw him in The Lawless Kind. I hope the wait has been worth it.

The DEVIL'S ANVIL by Matt Hilton

Accepting the task of protecting Billie Womack is a no-brainer for ex-counterterrorist soldier Joe Hunter, but it comes with its own set of complications. 


Billie's husband, Richard, stole thirty million dollars from some violent people. He apparently died in a car crash with Billie's daughter, Nicola, during a desperate attempt to elude his pursuers. But his enemies don't believe him dead. They think he escaped the plunge into the icy river that killed Nicola and has now decided to come back for the money. If he's alive, they believe he'll contact Billie. 


It doesn't take long for the bad guys to arrive at her remote farmhouse. Soon she and Joe are fugitives. Dead or alive, Richard's fate means nothing to Hunter, but he promises to do everything in his power to protect the grieving mother. Even if it means taking a bullet for her, it's a price he'll pay. 


It's a pledge he will come to regret, as he learns that killers are forged on the Devil's anvil.

BLOOD TRACKS - The First in a Brand New Thriller Series from Matt Hilton

Earlier this year I mentioned I was holding off on some good news until all my ducks were in a row, papers signed and the news could be made official. Well, I'm very happy to announce that those lovely people at Severn House Publishers will be publishing a brand new thriller series from me, featuring new characters Tess Grey and Nicolas "Po" Villere. The first in this brand new action-packed series is called BLOOD TRACKS and will be available in the UK in November this year, and in the USA (and rest of the world) next Spring. Joe Hunter fans will love this new series, and hopefully it will garner a new readership too. On the subject of everyone's favourite vigilante, fear not. This is not a departure from Hunter's adventures. Hunter will continue too. So if you enjoy my books, rejoice, because I'll be back to (at least) 2 books a year from here on in.

On Writing Joe Hunter

I was recently asked to write an article on writing the Joe Hunter thrillers for top class crime fiction/review site SHOTSMAG, and the article is now up here: http://www.shotsmag.co.uk/feature_view.aspx?FEATURE_ID=196

In it I talk about inspirations (some you might guess, some you might not), my writing day and style, and how Joe Hunter was born, and has grown and changed over the past seven books. Hope you enjoyed the read and learn something new.

Nowhere Man

A group of families who rule the world. A group of women no one would suspect. A diabetic girl on the run. A detective in turmoil. DI Mike Yorke never mixes work and play- but his latest case on Holy Island has come a little too close to home. Aunt May is in a coma. Street kid Smiler is seeing doom at every turn. Childhood friend Dave is obsessively praying.
The Drugs factory has been broken up, the enslaved children rescued and the monastery returned to the monks. Mike should be moving onto the next case, but the horror of that night won't leave him alone.
He thinks he's seen the worst, he has no idea of what's still to come

Nowhere Man - the new Mike Yorke book from Sheila Quigley is on sale from this Thursday 17th November
