'Hilton is more adept at humour than Lee Child ... the series should be electrifying' -- Daily Mail 20090522 'Hilton can undoubtedly write and DEAD MEN'S DUST roars along at a ferocious pace. A promising start to a welcome new series.' -- Observer 20090522 'Hilton writes well ... a promising start' -- Guardian 20090522 'If you're looking out for a new hero with muscle and deadly skills then Joe Hunter is your man. It's the most explosive debut I've read since Lee Child's modern day knight in tarnished armour, Jack Reacher, arrived in Killing Floor ... It's breathless, page-ripping stuff - and Hunter will be back.' -- Peterborough Evening Telegraph 20090522
