Author Endorsements for Hunter’s Chase<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Erin Kelly<\/u> \u2013 author of psychological thrillers including ‘Broadchurch’ and ‘The Poison Tree’<\/p>\n

\u201cA gripping debut novel about power, politics and the importance \u2013 and danger \u2013 of family ties. Hunter Wilson is a compelling new detective and Val Penny is an author to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Stuart Gibbon<\/u> \u2013 Former Murder Squad DCI & co-author of ‘The Crime Writer’s Casebook’<\/p>\n

\u201cA cracking read featuring the unforgettable DI Hunter Wilson.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Kate Bendelow<\/u> \u2013 author of ‘The Real CSI: A Forensic Handbook for Crime Writers’<\/p>\n

\u201cAn exciting debut \u2013 a police procedural that is refreshing, gripping and witty. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait for the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Michael Jecks<\/u> \u2013 author of unmissable historical mysteries including the ‘Jack Blackjack’ crime series including ‘Rebellion’s Message’ and the ‘Knights Templar’ mysteries including ‘The Last Templar’ and the contemporary spy novel ‘Act of Vengeance’<\/p>\n

\u201cThis tartan noire book is a real coffee-cooler. I had three cups of coffee that went cold, forgotten while reading. Val Penny created a cast of characters I want to see in another book as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

This is a truly astonishing debut from a writer to watch for the future.<\/p>\n

Believable characters, gut-wrenching scenes, and a plot that sizzles along. A taut police procedural that is up there with Ian Rankin, Alex Gray and Quintin Jardine.\u201d<\/p>\n
