Published 20 June 2011

The first of three explosive pulp thrillers arriving back-to-back from cult crime fiction sensation and Marvel Comics scribe Duane Swierczynski. Charlie Hardie, an ex-cop still reeling from the revenge killing of his former partner's entire family, fears one thing above all else: that he'll suffer the same fate. Languishing in self-imposed exile, Hardie has become a glorified house sitter. His latest gig comes replete with an illegally squatting B-movie actress who rants about hit men who specialize in making deaths look like accidents. Unfortunately, it's the real deal. Hardie finds himself squared off against a small army of the most lethal men in the world: The Accident People. It's nothingpersonal-the girl just happens to be the next name on their list. For Hardie, though, it'sintenselypersonal. He's not about to let more innocent people die. Not on his watch.

Hell and Gone

Mulholland Books presents... HELL AND GONE

There are some criminals so dangerous the world can never know about them.
They can't be held in regular prisons.
They must never be released.

They're here - in a secret underground prison miles away from anywhere. And now, so is Charlie Hardie. The shadowy organisation running the jail sent him there as punishment for getting in their way. But he's not a prisoner. He's in charge.

He can leave any time he wants, he's told. There's just one catch: if he goes, everyone in the prison dies, including innocent guards.

But when Charlie realises his family may be in danger, he knows he must protect them at any cost.

Even if it means blasting his way out, one inmate at a time...

On a day like any other, Kendra Hardie picks up the phone.

A voice says, 'leave the house and you're dead'.

Then the line is cut.

Charlie thought he could protect her by staying away. But now he has access to secrets his enemies will kill to keep hidden, and they're planning to start with his family.

After years in exile, Charlie's arming up... and heading home.
