Anthologies edited
Matt Hilton recommends

Red Station (2010)
(Harry Tate, book 1)
Adrian Magson
"A tale steeped in intrigue and menace... a terrific thriller."

The Killing Season (2014)
(Carter Blake, book 1)
Mason Cross
"Mason Cross has created an enigmatic character in Carter Blake. The writing is taut, intelligent, oozes suspense. A highly impressive debut novel."

Born in a Burial Gown (2015)
(DI Avison Fluke, book 1)
M W Craven
"Deeply layered, fiendishly clever and absorbing."

Dead Man's Prayer (2016)
(DI Frank Farrell, book 1)
Jackie Baldwin
"Stark and lean, yet deeply layered writing marks Jackie Baldwin out as a rising star on the British crime fiction scene. Dead Man’s Prayer is a compelling, thrilling read, and DI Frank Farrell a character I look forward to meeting again."

The Fear Within (2016)
(Lieutenant Danielle Lewis, book 2)
J S Law
"Tense, claustrophobic, and totally absorbing, this book should be on every thriller reader's radar - or should that be sonar? Absolutely superb."

Scream Blue Murder (2017)
(Mike Lynch, book 1)
Tony J Forder
"Forder didn't spare the horses when writing Scream Blue Murder. This book rockets along, a breathless action-packed ride. Perfect reading for fans of Simon Kernick and Jeff Abbott."

Cold Blood (2018)
(Aidan Snow SAS, book 1)
Alex Shaw
"Sizzles across the page like a flame on a short fuse!."
