Author Jude Hardin keeps the pace frantic, the thrills non-stop, but best of all is his hero, the wonderfully ironic Nicholas Colt. This is a character I'm eager to follow through many adventures to come. <br />—Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of ICE COLD. <br /> <br />The best PI debut I've read in years, fit to share shelf space with the best of Ross Macdonald, Sue Grafton, and Robert B. Parker. POCKET-47 is so hot you may burn your hands reading. Highly recommended. <br />—J.A. Konrath, author of the Jack Daniels mysteries <br /> <br />Hardin gets everything right in his powerhouse thriller debut, which introduces rock star–turned–PI Nicholas Colt. <br />—Publishers Weekly on POCKET-47 <br /> <br />KEY DEATH is an exhilarating thriller that punches way above its weight. It hits you hard and fast with crackling suspense, hair-raising twists and stunning revelations. Word of advice: don't start on this one unless you're prepared to stay up all night. <br />—John Ling, author of THE BLASPHEMER <br /> <br />Colt is a physical, no-holds-barred PI, reminiscent of Robert B. Parker's Spenser and Lee Child's Jack Reacher, and his debut is action-packed. With a hefty toll of dead bodies, some described in cringe-inducing detail, this is crime fiction at its rawest. Hard-boiled connoisseurs should make Colt's acquaintance now. <br />—Booklist on POCKET-47 <br /> <br />With CROSSCUT, Jude Hardin takes the PI novel and psychological suspense to a new, unrestrained level. Fast, fierce, and relentless. <br />—David Morrell, New York Times bestselling creator of Rambo
