Matt Hilton quit his career as a police officer with Cumbria Constabulary to pursue his love of writing tight, cinematic American-style thrillers. He is the author of 13 Joe Hunter thrillers, and 10 Tess Grey and Po Villere thrillers. He has a couple of standalone thrillers coming soon, the first of which is 'The Girl In the Smoke', to be published by Severn House in February 2024. In addition Matt has published horror/suspense/action novels 'Darkest Hour', 'Dominion', 'Preternatural', 'The Shadows Call', 'Wildfire', 'The Girl on Shattered Rock' and 'Darke'. Matt is a high ranking martial artist, and in his day fought in the fledgling MMA scene in the UK, and was Northern Ju-Jitsu Champion 2000. He has been a cop, a detective and a private security specialist, all of which lend an authenticity to the action scenes in his books. He has been writing since he was a small child, and is also an avid reader of crime, horror and thriller books, all of which inspire his writing style. Although seen as crime thrillers, Matt's Joe Hunter series combine elements from all of those genres, so is slightly different in flavour than many others in the same category. He is a huge fan of the pulp masters, and hopes to emulate their fast pace and derring do. Matt is the first to say that his books will never win a literary prize, but they're not intended to: they're there for pure entertainment. Saying that Matt's first novel, Dead Men's Dust, was shortlisted for Debut Thriller of the Year 2009 by the International Thriller Writers' Organisation (ITW) and was named as a Daily Telegraph Thriller of the Year 2009, and in 2013 was a Kindle UK top ten best seller. His books have been translated into German, Italian, Romanian and Bulgarian, and are published throughout the UK (and territories) by Hodder and Stoughton, Canelo, Joffe Books and Severn House,, and in the USA (and territories) by William Morrow and Co, Canelo, Joffe Books and by Down and Out Books.
