Publisher Description

Phil Hunt is in deep trouble.

Hunt is on the run from two men: Drake, the deputy sheriff who intends to catch him, and Grady, the vicious hitman who means to kill him.

For twenty years Hunt has lived in Washington State, raising horses with his wife on his small farm. He's tried to stay out of trouble, wanting only to make a living and taking the occasional illicit job in order to do so.

Then his last delivery goes horribly wrong, and the chase is on from the mountains down into the Puget lowlands. To have any chance of rescuing his quiet life, Hunt will have to deal with deputy sheriff Bobby Drake, a good man determined to make up for his father's tainted legacy and Grady Fisher, a very bad man intent on making a name for himself in the most violent ways. With a fondness for blood, Grady takes pleasure in the use of knives, taking Hunt's life apart piece by piece, all the while leaving a trail of victims across the state.

Relentless and gorgeously written, with original characters and a vividly powerful sense of place, The Terror of Living heralds the arrival of a writer who will be compared with the great suspense novelists.

A rare treat

I do not know about you, but finding. A good, plausible action adventure story that grabs you right from the start and keeps you enthralled throughout is a rare find these days: until I found this gem. I did not want to put it down! The writing is excellent, descriptive enough so you feel as though you are right there with the characters, yet not wordy and drawn out like so many other books written now a days just to make them longer.
I have finally found a book to recommend to my friends, and maybe my enemies if they behave. I hated for it to end. Hope you enjoy it as much as I.

An amazing find

Found this book while looking through New York Times Book Review and could not put it down. The characters and ending make it a book you'll remember long after your done reading it.
