Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
PEACE, LOVE, and UNDERSTANDING don’t appear in the lexicon of professional killers Rip Hunter and his partner Wilma. They have their own set of rules. It’s what’s made them successful for the past fifteen years and, more importantly, what’s kept them alive. Never use the same gun twice. Always get half the money up front. Never use real names. Always be neat and discreet. But times are tough in Detroit, especially in the murder for hire business. When Rip breaks one of their rules out of desperation it sets off a cascade of calamity and they find themselves on the run from killers more ruthless than they are.

The Art of Making Your Setting a Character
A sense of place is as important as the story you are telling. When I write about a city I try treat it with the same care that I use when I create my characters. Luckily, in the case of Detroit, the city really does have a character, albeit a mean and vicious one. That said, I love the Motor City and have many fond memories of it from the 1960s and 1970s. In Hair Trigger I incorporate as many of my warm feelings for Detroit as I possibly can, with a dash of malice of course.
