Some people have labeled Joe Hunter as a vigilante and others have seen him as a hit man.  One thing is for sure and that is if you have a serious problem, Joe Hunter is the man to have on your side.

 

When Kate Piers showed up on the Florida beach and revealed to Joe that she was the sister of Jake Piers, a buddy from Special Forces, Joe felt obligated to help her.  Kate feared that her sister Imogen Ballard was in serious trouble.

 

Joe and Kate travel to Imogen’s Kentucky home where they are immediately attacked by thugs employed by local businessman Robert Huffman.  Huffman has links to organized crime and wants Imogen.  Huffman will leave no stone unturned to get to her and that includes kidnapping and murder.

 

Joe finally finds a woman that he could be interested in romantically but the first priority has to be finding Imogen.  That is not an easy task .  Slash and Burn is another action-packed thriller.

 

Joe Hunter was introduced in Dead Men’s Dust followed by Judgement and Wrath.  This latest addition to the series is even more exciting that the first two books.
