The Reviews

A decade of critical praise, in their own words.

Ghostman · 2013

A debut that made the world stop.

A breathtaking debut. Hobbs writes with the cool authority of a man who has been there — even when he hasn't.

Ghostman is one of the most accomplished and entertaining first novels in years.

Slick, smart, and almost impossibly assured. Roger Hobbs writes like a seasoned pro.

A heist novel that practically demands to be filmed. Lean, propulsive, and ferociously intelligent.

Vanishing Games · 2015

The sequel that confirmed it.

A relentless, propulsive thriller that confirms Roger Hobbs as one of the most thrilling new voices in crime fiction.

Hobbs has the chops of a writer twice his age. Vanishing Games is wickedly good.

An adrenaline-fueled tour of the global criminal underworld, written with style to spare.

Chicago Tribune

Smart, slick, and utterly unputdownable. The Ghostman returns and he's better than ever.
