Description
Praise for "The Betrayers ""Compares favorably to Elmore Leonard's early urban crime novels. His protagonists are intelligent, self-aware, and capable of swift, harsh action. And no one is better at capturing the flirty-but-keep-your-distance banter between the sexes. Tracy and Hepburn got nothin' on this guy. Plan ahead and clear a shelf for James Patrick Hunt. He's the real deal." --"Booklist" (starred review) "Hunt, a relative newcomer, gives [the story] a distinctive edge by keeping the action white hot, the participants ice cold, the pace headlong and the dialogue as curt as a draft notice." --"Kirkus Reviews ""Intriguing... His landscape abounds with quirky characters of all stripes; some are great company and others can crack wise and kill at the same time." --"Publishers Weekly ""Fast, gritty, and convincing. Crime fiction at its best." --Lee Child, author of "Bad Luck and Trouble ""Intricate, completely convincing, and scorching hot, "The Betrayers" is reminiscent of the best of Elmore Leonard.... Yes, it's that good." --George Pelecanos, author of "The Night Gardener ""A classic big-city police procedural that flickers like a black-and-white movie across the imagination." --Denise Hamilton, author of "Prisoner of Memory"
