Once there were two brothers. Home was not happy, and they were not close. Dan Bridger (Bridger) grew up to be an auto mechanic—and a professional thief. Seth, the good brother, became a parole officer. Seth is murdered in a cold-blooded shooting, but nobody's talking. Dan, never one to let injustices slide, heads to Seattle to learn more. What he uncovers is a gang of greedy cops operating behind the protection of their badges.
VERDICT Spare prose and minimal embellishments make this excellent lone-wolf entry shine. If your readers clamor for Richard Stark's Parker novels, then Bridger is your new antihero to recommend. With vigilante action and a riveting lead, Hunt's book brings in the great elements of a Donald E. Westlake (aka Richard Stark) or Marcus Sakey (At the City's Edge) piece. Buy, read, and recommend highly.
