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.

The New York Times

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

The Wall Street Journal

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

The Washington Post

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

The Guardian

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.

Publishers Weekly

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

The Guardian

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.

The Times (UK)
