RED RIGHT HAND (A Michael Hendricks Novel) - Tapa dura

PRAISE FOR "THE KILLING KIND"
"Here's a solid gold premise: an assassin who only kills other assassins. . . . The cat-and-mouse game that follows is pure joy. . . . This novel is so fast-moving, so expertly arranged, every piece fitting together with a well-oiled snap, that it feels weaponized. Read it. Or else." Benjamin Percy, "New York Times Book Review""

"Pure thriller with a smart, vicious twist . . . What makes this book sing [is] its lean action, breakneck execution, and a nervy concept that's almost too perfect." Jason Heller, "NPR""

"The writing is tight and tense . . . This is a fun spin on crime fiction." Jeff Ayers, "Associated Press""

"Holm is terrific at rendering characters with empathy and humor. . . . You'll want to go along for the ride - but keep that seat belt fastened." Daneet Steffens, "Boston Globe""

"With "The Killing Kind," Chris Holm has created a story of rare, compelling brilliance, with a concept so high you'll need oxygen to finish it. Hit man against hit man, one pure silk and evil, the other not exactly good, but we root for him anyway as the classic antihero. This is a one-sitting, extravagant, mind-blowing reading pleasure with a stable of characters who come across as all flesh, bone and folly. You will never look at men hired to kill other humans the same way. You won't merely read this book, you will inhale it." "David Baldacci, bestselling author of "The Escape"""

"Chris Holm loads an ingenious premise-an assassin who kills only other assassins-into a high-powered story that goes off like a rocket. His protagonist, Mike Hendricks, is an all-American anti-hero with his own code of justice, living on stolen time. "The Killing Kind" is sleek and smart, and will stay with you long after you've finished reading." "Joseph Finder, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Fixer"""

"I love Chris Holm. He can evoke a landslide of character in a single detail. "The Killing Kind" crackles with muscle and moxie and wit. I will read it again and again." "Chelsea Cain, author of the "New York Times" bestseller "One Kick"""

"A fast-moving novel . . . Entertaining . . . Readers will root for Hendricks, even though he's on the FBI's Most Wanted list, because he has a more solid moral code than your average murderer. A good choice for thriller fans." "Kirkus Reviews""

"The splintered search for truth drives not only the novel but also its curious mix of characters, who defy the easy characterization of heroes and villains. . . . Two books into the series, and whether Hendricks is a "good guy" or a "bad guy" is not only impossible to answer, but also no longer seems relevant." Library Journal"

NOMINATED FOR THE 2017 ANTHONY AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL
If the good guys can't save you, call a bad guy.
When viral video of an explosive terrorist attack on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge reveals that a Federal witness long thought dead is still alive, the organization he'd agreed to testify against will stop at nothing to put him in the ground.
FBI Special Agent Charlie Thompson is determined to protect him, but her hands are tied; the FBI's sole priority is catching the terrorists before they strike again. So Charlie calls the only person on the planet who can keep her witness safe: Michael Hendricks.
Once a covert operative for the US military, Hendricks makes his living hitting hitmen... or he did, until the very organization hunting Charlie's witness--the Council--caught wind and targeted the people he loves. Teaming up with a young but determined tech whiz, Cameron, on the condition she leave him alone after the case, Hendricks reluctantly takes the job.
Of course, finding a man desperate to stay hidden is challenging enough without deadly competition, let alone when the competition's shadowy corporate backer is tangled in the terrorist conspiracy playing out around them. And now Hendricks is determined to take the Council down, even if that means wading into the center of a terror plot whose perpetrators are not what they seem.
