Time to Hide

“A page-turning thriller with strong characters, excit-
ing action, and a big heart.”

 

 

“Any John Gilstrap novel packs the punch of a
rocket-propelled grenade—on steroids! Tentacles of
intrigue reach into FBI headquarters and military
hierarchy. Lines are crossed and new ones drawn. The
philosophy of killing to preserve life takes on new
meaning. Gilstrap grabs the reader's attention in a
literary vise grip. Each installment of the Jonathan
Grave series is a
force majeure
of covert incursions,
and a damn good read.”

 

“Tense, clever . . . series enthusiasts are bound to
enjoy this new thriller.”

guy among thriller writers, when it comes to

ages. Gilstrap is one of the very few writers who
can position a set of characters in a situation, ramp
up the tension, and—yes, keep it there, all the

this book down.”

strong, incorruptible hero, this series deserves to be
in your reading diet.
Threat Warning

Gilstrap as a master of jaw-dropping action and
heart-squeezing suspense.”

 

 

“Jonathan Grave, my favorite freelance peacemaker,
problem-solver, and tough guy hero, is back—and in
particularly fine form.
Hostage Zero
is classic
Gilstrap: the people are utterly real, the action's foot
to the floor, and the writing's fluid as a well-oiled
machine gun. A tour de force!”

breakneck pace to a complex, multilayered plot.... A

violence and revenge.”

for all time.”

likable characters with look-over-your-shoulder
tension. A page turner.”

paramedics before I finished
At All Costs.

six ways from Sunday.”

denouement and strong characters.”

 

“Gilstrap has a shot at being the next John
Grisham . . . one of the best books of the year.”

“Brilliantly calculated . . . With the skill of a veteran
pulp master, Gilstrap weaves a yarn that demands to
be read in one sitting.”

well-oiled wheels to an undeniably
pulse-pounding conclusion.”
