New cover for UK paperback


Hey all,

how cool is this?


This a new version of the cover of Dead Men's Dust appearing on Amazon for the paperback release of the book in October. Love the new image (loved the old one as well, but this, I think, is even cooler!)

Dead Men's Dust at Euro Crime

http://eurocrime.blogspot.com/2009/04/matt-hilton.html

Over at Euro Crime, the pre-eminent crime blog, my debut gets a good mention, alongside the new book by Lee Child - drawing parrallels in the cover style.

I have great respect for Lee and to be mentioned alongside him is a great honour and privilege.

Joe Hunter is Big Down Under - Ooh-er, missus!

Just thought that I'd share this review with you all, written by Todd Griffiths, an influential publisher from Hachette Australia.


I'm about twenty pages shy of finishing Dead Men’s Dust and I’m loving it. It’s about a thousand times better than I expected from past dabbles in the genre. Joe is a complex three dimensional character and the way Hilton explores the subtle but crucial differences between a sociopathic killer who has killed many with pleasure and a conscience ridden soldier who has killed even more but with a troubled moral self is nuanced and insightful in a way that belies the brief brutal bursts of “Bourne...” movie violence that punctuate the book. I can’t imagine someone could read a book in this genre after reading this and not find “Dead Men’s Dust” a superior book in every important way.
Regards,
Todd Griffiths
Hachette Australia


My whole-hearted thanks go to Todd for his inspiring words.

Dead Men's Dust gets mention at The Rap Sheet

Book Launch - Waterstone's Carlisle Wednesday 13th May 2009

It's official, I've got a date, time and location for my book launch.

WEDNESDAY 13th MAY 2009
18.30 - 20.30
WATERSTONE'S
SCOTCH STREET
CARLISLE

and everyone's invited.

This is an unusual move apparently, because debut authors don't generally get the opportunity to launch in their home town. However, due to the support and enthusiasm I've been shown by friends and family I feel I owe them all and am therefore holding drinks and nibbles and a book signing opportunity for all those attending and purchasing the book on the night (special signing is also available - please ask).

My thanks go to Simon, Leni and everyone else involved.

A further 'official' launch will be held in London the following day and I will be going to various stores to do stock signing and also to see some of the sites. There's going to be a huge tube station publicity campaign which I can't wait to see.

Only 60 days to go!!

Wow, does that feel good. 15 months ago I thought that I'd never see the day.

Keep on keeping on

Hi folks,
take a look at the trailer developed by Hodder and Stoughton to introduce readers to Joe Hunter in Dead Men's Dust.
I think it is awesome.
