The Nowhere Man, Hellbent and later books deepen the conflict between Evan’s covert past, criminal enemies and his attempt to build an ordinary life. Hurwitz also writes standalone thrillers involving kidnapping, conspiracy and pursuit. His novels are fast, violent and highly engineered, with tradecraft and moral codes central to the suspense. They suit readers of assassin thrillers, covert-ops fiction, vigilante action and long-running contemporary suspense. Read more Less
