A fast-moving story with lots of action, some interesting twists, and the deadliest female protagonist since Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander
Camaro Espinoza, the intense and capable heroine of a series of novellas from Hawken, makes her full-length debut in this hard-boiled thriller. . . . Camaro has an ironclad sense of justice. . . . Hawken delivers a potent climax that winds its way through an unremitting firefight to a satisfying conclusion
From the galloping urgency of its opening pages to its dramatic conclusion, THE NIGHT CHARTER is one hell of a ride. Hawken's prose is as taut as barbed wire and his storytelling sure and surprising. A hyper-charged knockout thriller.
Sam Hawken has created a deep and dangerous female lead in THE NIGHT CHARTER. If you're ever in trouble and need a kickass heroine to get you out of it, look no further than army veteran Camaro Espinoza.
Camaro, a winning blend of compassion and ruthlessness clearly conceived as a female Jack Reacher, deserves a long life as a similarly nomadic series heroine
One for fans of Lee Child, John D Macdonald and Miami Vice.
The Night Charter is a brilliantly executed thriller. Pacy, punchy, gripping and twisty. If you're an Elmore Leonard fan, then Hawken is your man
A spicy and thrilling tale with a most refreshing heroine. Camaro Espinoza is fantastic.
