An Exclusive Message from Gregg Hurwitz

‘Ever since I lived in the UK when I was twenty-two, it’s been a sort of home away from home for me. And fittingly enough, it’s been the same for my books.
English readers have embraced my thrillers with warmth and enthusiasm, and every time I get a publishing update from across the drink, I feel a flare of gratitude.
Because of that, I’m especially pleased to be (finally) bringing out the Rackley books in the UK.
In a certain manner, I grew up as a novelist writing these books over the course of five years. The couple at the center of them are dear old friends. Hell, by now, they’re family. Tim Rackley, the fearless deputy US marshal who travels to the farthest reaches of the law… and beyond. And his wife, Dray, who was my answer to every whiny cop’s wife I ever encountered on page or screen—a tough-as-nails sheriff’s deputy who is as grounded and resourceful as her husband (and often even more).
I hope you enjoy The Kill Clause, The Program and Troubleshooter. Thank you for giving them a second homecoming.’
Gregg Hurwitz, March 2013
The Tim Rackley novels are available exclusively as ebooks from The Crime Vault.
