One man will try to stop him ...

"Our hero, and accomplices, embark on a lofty quest to track down the man responsible
for a series of heinous and gruesome crimes. Behind every murder is a motive, and from
every murder there, of course, exists a trail. Following the trail is our hero, LAPD cop
Gabe Quinn. Seasoned pro Quinn has seen it, done it and succeeded: in fact, so much so
his exploits have made him something of a celebrity. But fame and catching crime rarely
match. And in this, Quinn's toughest quest yet, his resilience is put to the ultimate test.
This is not simply about stopping crime. The world is watching - and judging."
- ★★★★★ Review by 'The Raven' (England)
 
"Killing Hope" is Book #1 in the Gabe Quinn Thriller Series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping. 8 Jan 2013
By hellobeckey
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book had me absolutely gripped from the beginning. I genuinely didn't want it to end and was thrilled to find out that there's a sequel. I hate saying goodbye to characters too soon! I'd recommend this to anybody, especially at such a good price.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT 2 Nov 2012
By Ross
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Just finished the first Gabe Quinn book from Keith Houghton and must say I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Cracking mix of characters that can be built upon as the series continues. Houghton's detective is in the similar tourtured soul mould as Harry Bosch (Micheal Connelly). I look forward to the next installment on November 21st (I believe).

Bought this book after reading many reviews and thought I would give it a chance. Really glad I did as the book had me gripped from start to finish. All the characters in the book are perfectly analysed with descriptions and accounts of each. This book is a must and I cant wait for the next installment. Well done!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars First Class Read 21 Jun 2012
By TonyS
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been aware of Mr Houghton for some time,I finally got round to reading his work and wasn't dissapointed. His clipped writing style is distinctive and he certainly knows how to weave a plot that keeps you guessing right until the end. Well crafted, Keith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! Couldn't put it down! 28 April 2012
By Mrs. N. Picton
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Gabes character is so deep, he is wonderful. I had to chech if I'd missed previous books!, it's great. Poor guy cannot save the world, let alone himself!

The plots just twists and turn, with all the different characters showing their own personalities and depths. However major they are. I thought I had it sussed, but was gobsmacking at the end!!!

A fantastic read - I recommend it to everyone.

Cannot wait for the next Quinn novel.
