The Hook and The Trap (The High Velocity Crime) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Hook and Trap is a bullet-paced noir thriller written in the hardboiled spirit of James Hadley Chase, Raymond Chandler, and Mickey Spillane. It’s a story about survival in a world where loyalty costs blood and luck always runs out too soon.

Frankie isn’t a hero. He’s not even a good man. He’s just a survivor — a gambler who’s learned that the only thing worse than losing is playing safe. Every choice he makes drags him deeper into a city that eats the weak and rewards the damned.

This isn’t a story about crime. It’s a story about consequence.
About how a man runs from his past until it catches up — and how even when he wins, he still loses.

From the neon-stained docks to the cigarette-lit bars, Hook and Trap paints a world soaked in rain, whiskey, and betrayal. Every scene bleeds tension. Every word cuts close. Every shadow hides a knife.

It’s the kind of book Chase himself might have written if he’d lived to see the age of burner phones and cold hearts. Fast. Brutal. Beautiful.

A tale where no one gets clean — and the city always gets paid.
