Brilliant, yes, I just wrote brilliant. Have I caught your attention yet? “Sharpshooter” by David Hoof is an amazing novel, flat out mesmerizing from the first page to the last. His style is totally unique; his gift of prose writing phenomenal, and this novel just is one intense read. I am going out a limb here and saying that this maybe one of, if not the best novels, I have read this year. Yes, that is how strongly I feel about the work this author has turned out here.

David Hoof has done all the usual here with characters, plotline execution, etc, etc., but where he stands out is his originality and writing. He paints an amazing picture to create a universe that I did not want to leave. The rich content, the vivid descriptions, the smallest detail was not left to chance in this novel. I could see hear and feel the entire thing. Not too bad for a reader that is deaf and has glasses you can see to the moon with. I highly recommend this novel, and you can bet this going to be included in my list of top novels for this year. David Hoof will be my guest on September 15^th on my blogtalk radio show The G-ZONE, right after Barry Eisler comes on at 12pmEST.Mark that down on your calendar; these are to interviews that are not to be missed.

Here is what you will get with “Sharpshooter”:

“The Holloway family began grabbing up land and making serious enemies in Montana even before the Battle of Little Bighorn, but there was no payback until Senate candidate Jeb Holloway was found dead in his pickup in a lonely draw on his ranch. Using a Sharps buffalo rifle firing an antique slug, the killer seems to have stepped out time, then vanished. Local sheriff Redfawn Kravitz has plenty of suspects, but when their alibis emerge, the case gets muddier, nastier and no closer to a solution. “

DAVID HOOF IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED AND VERSATILE MASTERS OF THE WRITER'S CRAFT.IN THE LAST THREE YEARS , HE HAS TURNED OUT AN AWARD-WINNING WHODUNIT, LITTLE GODS AND A SIDE-SPLITTING CAPER NOVEL TRIPLE JEOPARDY (BOTH STILL IN PRINT IN CASE YOU MISSED THEM). NOW HOOF RETURNS TO THE SUSPENSE GENRE, HIS MASTERY OF WHICH WAS SHOWN IN THE INTERNATIONALLY BEST-SELLING "SPIKE HALLOCK" SERIES, WITH A  WESTERN-THRILLER FEATURING RED KRAVITZ, A NEW HERO WHOSE ORIGINALITY AND PERSISTENCE RENDER HIS NARRATIVE GRIPPING FROM THE FIRST PAGE.

Praise for “Sharpshooter”:

"SHARPSHOOTER" IS A TOP-NOTCH THRILLER WHICH SHOULD CONTAIN THE CAVEAT:" DON'T  START

READING THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO BE TOMORROW MORNING''.

"Sharpshooter, in the spirit of all great Westerns, seamlessly fuses past, present and future, reminding us that place is defined as much by geography as it is by time."
