"Blood Trip is a delightfully twisted and inventive noir, reminiscent of past masters Thompson, Willeford, and Dan J. Marlowe."
-Max Thrax, author of God Is A Killer

"Blood Trip is chock-full of entertainment and intrigue. This novel explores simultaneously the real-world gambling of murder-scheming and psychological drama that falls like an albatross upon the shoulders of the doomed architect. Man's cunning-and frailty-are on spectacular display, as we are reminded again of Fate's constructing coil, which will continue to tighten like a boa, despite the sly boots of its prey."
-Adam Johnson, author of What Are You Doing Out Here Alone, Away From Everyone?

"Hilson has stacked us a vulnerable yet high-tension take on the hitman tale that takes elements of Jim Thompson's over-the-top vintage pulp with an obsessive modern edge-reminding us that jealousy, revenge, and a collapsing house of cards will never go out of style."
-Gabriel Hart, author of Fallout From Our Asphalt Hell

"Featuring the unraveling of a complex family, a colourful cast of characters and whip-smart dialogue, Hilson manages to sustain the intensity of the drama in every chapter-the plot had me gripped from the opening paragraph to the final line, I whizzed through it. Steeped in betrayal and lies, fraught with tension yet frequently funny, and with danger lurking around every corner, Blood Trip is one ride you don't want to miss."
-HLR, author of History of Present Complaint

Mike Wickham can't stand his ex-wife Wendy's new husband Allen Barth. So when Mike's daughter on Spring Break in Atlantic City sends out an SOS from her hotel room, Mike teams up with Allen on a desperate road trip to rescue the college student from danger-and in the process get rid of Allen, for good. Murder-for-hire comes off without a hitch...or does it? You never know for sure until the last mile of the Blood Trip.
