Stunning Debut, Totally Immersive Thriller
Warren Pole, former Features & Investigations writer for: The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, and The Mail on Sunday
“This is a simply incredible debut novel from an author we’re going to be hearing a lot more from. I read a lot of thrillers and this is up there with the best while genuinely outclassing plenty of major household names.
In Hit & Split Green manages the very neat trick of serving up a truly engaging and utterly enjoyable, relaxing read while simultaneously delivering a dense and devilish rollercoaster of a plot that draws you in and doesn’t let go, all of it played out with a deep cast of engaging and believable characters.
Better still, Hit & Split genuinely brings something new to the thriller genre with a unique ability to take the reader into the personal worlds of the characters on all sides making them more rounded than the average good/bad thriller dynamic and even more satisfying as a result.
All in all, a total winner, can’t wait to see what Green writes next.”
“I finished the book in two days…..the delay was because I had to eat. These are great characters, so well fleshed out….I knew, and cared for, each of them. Great screenplay; great film noir. Toby is right up there with Rowling’s Cormoran Strike, and Clancy’s Jack Ryan. Please continue with these wonderful characters…..I really was sad to say goodbye to them.”
