'A one-sitting, fist-in-mouth read' - The Guardian

The phone rings. It's your daughter. She's been dead for four months.

Ian Hunt is the police dispatcher for the small town of Bulls Mouth, East Texas. Just as his shift is ending, he gets a call from his fourteen-year-old daughter, Maggie.

Maggie, who has just been declared dead, having been snatched from her bedroom seven years ago. Her call ends in a scream.

The trail leads to a local couple, but this is just the start of his battle to get his daughter back. What follows is a bullet-strewn cross-country chase along Interstate 10, from Texas to California.

The Dispatcher is a darkly propulsive, action-fueled crime thriller from Ryan David Jahn - the acclaimed author of Acts of Violence and Low Life - about the lengths a man will go to for his daughter. Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Taken.

Recenzii

"Violent, vivid, and disturbing, The Dispatcher is a stomach churner. If you want a book that grabs you-almost chokes you-and won't let go, this is it. But it should come with a warning label: Caution, a serious writer at work." -Ridley Pearson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killer  Summer

"The Dispatcher grabs the reader on page one and never lets go. It's a classic yet bracingly contemporary story of kidnapping, violence, and a father's ferocious courage."

"A well-written, fast-paced book . . . along the order of Quentin Tarantino and with a long and bloody trail to the end."

"Reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's tales of vengeance, The Dispatcher is an impressively accomplished performance that never strains for mythic power but nevertheless acquires it."

"The breathless pace virtually demands a single-sitting read. . . . Over the past few years a new generation of crime writers has come perilously close to recreating the jaded mindset of the classic noir thrillers, but no one has succeeded quite like Jahn. . . . [He] leads the new noir pack with a series of palm-sweating situations that pay homage to the classics of the genre while feeling entirely fresh."

"Reads at a cracking pace [and] is a one-sitting, fist-in-mouth read."

"A cross between Richard Ford and James Patterson . . . I guarantee that if you pick this up, then everything else in your life will immediately be pushed to the margins. . . . If you only read one book tomorrow, make it this one."

"A nerve-shredding thriller with plenty of energy and a tight plot."

"Tense, thrilling. Jahn has written a real page-turner, well crafted with convincing characters and an involving plot."

"Near pitch perfect . . . An adrenaline-pumped storyline and one that will leave you with your lower jaw resting on your chest. I don't believe anyone else is offering Jahn's insight and style of writing today. . . . [His] clipped and economical prose is to the bone. . . . Make sure you allocate sufficient hours to read in one sitting."

"Talk about page-turning . . . Jahn is the fastest rising star in the ever-competitive crime fiction world."
