ROGER HOBBS

Edgar-finalist Hobbs's fantastic sequel to 2013's Ghostman. An irresistable ride.

   Publisher's Weekly

 

The opening chapter [...] is one of the most deftly choreographed bits of suspense writing I’ve read. Vanishing Games has the confidence and brio of Terry Hayes.

   The Guardian (UK)

 

Vanishing Games is every bit the thriller: meaty, violent, and riveting [...] Donald Westlake finally has a worthy successor. And that's saying something.

   The Arizona Republic

 

Skillfully rendered [and] so deft.... As satisfying as watching other action heroes leap from tall buildings.

    Chicago Tribune

 

A fast-paced, action-packed thriller filled with sexual tension, violence and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

   Library Journal (Starred Review)

 

An exhilaratingly swift-moving crime novel, a guilt-free guilty pleasure. Readers considering a life of crime should first read Roger Hobbs. He's one of the most informative crime writers working today.
   Richmond Times-Dispatch

 

The fast-paced plot, peppered with details which bring each scene to bloody life, is a thrill. Vanishing Games is a keeper.

   The Oregonian

 

As far as works of crime fiction are concerned, Vanishing Games may just be the most mind-blowing piece I’ve read this year. [Roger Hobbs is] a master craftsman.

   The New Straits Times (Malaysia)

 

Once or twice in a lifetime, you read a few pages of a book and realize you're reading something extraordinary, written by one of the great talents of a generation.

   Seeley James, author of The Geneva Decision

 

Vanishing Games is swift, strong, and smart as all hell.

   The Seattle Times

 

The bad guys don't mess around in Roger Hobbs's Vanishing Games. This is a page-turner of the first order.

   Bookpage

​

Hobbs has followed up his thrilling debut with an equally exciting tale. This is a good, fun read.

   The Melbourne Age (Australia)

​

Vanishing Games is everything you could ever want in a book.

   The Willamette Week

​

Rapp dialogue, a very hard-boiled story, and really skillfully developed characters-- This one will be a quad-star.

      Magnus Utvik, Legendary Swedish Reviewer

 

An exceptionally strong thriller. [Vanishing Games] will keep you hooked till the very last page.

     Crimezone (Netherlands)

 

Roger Hobbs isn’t a writer to watch — he’d already blasted past most other novelists, leaving them sucking foam and flailing around in his wake. He’s the guy out on the dark horizon, showing us how fierce and smart and shocking thrillers can be. I’m in awe.

    Duane Swierczynski, Award-Winning Author of The Wheelman

​

Vanishing Games is smart, fast-paced and cool. A violent odyssey through the mean streets of Macau.

   Mason Cross, Bestselling Author of The Killing Season

​

Rich-- in more ways than one. A fast, addictive read.

   Strand Magazine

​

Pure entertainment [...] A sequel that may be even better than the original. Perhaps the most enjoyable novel I read last year. 

   Alabama Liberal

​

Roger Hobbs is the real deal. The best new thriller writer since Joseph Finder burst onto the scene with The Moscow Club. [...Vanishing Games is] one of the best thrillers I've read in a long, long time.

   R. A. Raab, Author of The Dewey Deception

​

Yes, there is a new guy in town. And he'll keep you up at night.

     The Lincoln Journal Star (by Francis Moul)

​

A page-turning, white-knuckle follow up. Hobbs writes with a vengence, staging cinematic scenes of violence and moral ambiguity that make this 304-page novel the literary equivalent of finely wrought film noir.
