Dear Friends, Readers, and Rivett-ers,
The next Jake Rivett thriller is ready, the cover is done, and the release date is set!
But first, I’d like to talk about Flash Crash for a brief moment. I’ve officially sold over a thousand copies of Flash Crash. It’s an awesome thing to have my novel out there in the world, enjoyed by both people that I know and more importantly, those I don’t. And the first group who deserve serious thanks are you–my most loyal and interested fans.
Reviews are perhaps the most important marketing element of any book. And I am grateful that excellent reviews keep rollin’ on in. Just a few small blurbs from recent reviews:
“A high octane ride… fueled by the mind instead of brawn and violence.”
“With more switchbacks than Route 66, Flash Crash kicks in where other thrillers are rolling the closing credits. Hi-tech Manhattan meets low rent Jersey in this blockbuster first novel.”
“The detective, Rivett, is like a train wreck of bad behavior and good morals mixed together. He’s irresistible to follow…”
On that note, if you have yet to review the book, it would be HUGELY appreciated! You can click here to do that (scroll down and click on “Write a customer review.”) And if you have already reviewed the book, I would appreciate if you would LIKE or SHARE my Facebook Author Page, RETWEET my Twitter, or send anyone who loves insane thrillers to DenisonHatch.com.
Every new fan and every new sale really helps out yours truly and both supports and inspires me to keep on writing Rivett thrillers!
Whew. Now that the appetizer is over, the entree awaits:
NEVER GO ALONE is done. It’s been re-written countless times. It’s been edited. It is being formatted into both Kindle and paperback versions as we speak. And I am ultra excited for you to get your hands on it… Very soon!
Here is a summary:
NEVER GO ALONE
A rash of elaborate cat burglaries of luxury buildings in Manhattan has the police and mayor panicked. When a group of social media obsessed millennials—a loosely organized crew that call themselves “urban explorers”—are suspected in the heists, NYPD detective Jake Rivett is assigned the case.
Already undercover with one foot on each side of the blue line, Rivett is ordered to infiltrate the group and discern responsibility. Battling against both his own personal demons and misgivings regarding his superiors, Rivett dives deep into the urban exploration scene in pursuit of the truth. But what, and who, he finds—deep in the sewers, up in the cranes above under-construction skyscrapers, and everywhere else in New York—will change not only Jake, but the city itself.
COMING SOON: Never Go Alone: A Jake Rivett thriller by Denison Hatch
Never Go Alone continues to follow your favorite Ducati-driving, Screamo-band-moonlighting NYPD detective, Jake Rivett. It picks up about a year after Flash Crash. And just like Flash Crash, Never Go Alone is certainly a thriller of the highest order. But it’s not a technothriller in the manner that Flash Crash was. Never Go Alone has a little less tech, and whole helluva’ lot more mystery.
It’s filled with neck-breaking twists, some badass new characters and Jake Rivett’s unforgettable, twisted-but-moralistic view of the world. Of course, there are some absolutely breathtaking and ingenious heists within the novel. But it is also a rumination on the state of society; the Have’s and Have-not’s of the modern world. As usual, it won’t be clear exactly who you should be rooting for. Everyone’s a sinner and everyone’s an angel–at the same time–in this novel.
And when the promo above says, “the city itself” will be changed? That’s not hyperbole. You’ll have to finish the book to understand, but Rivett has gotten himself into a case which goes both deep underground and far, far, up the food chain of money and power in New York.
A final note about the Jake Rivett series: Each book is designed to be a consuming, heart-pounding, standalone thriller. You can read any book, at any time, and feel very satisfied. That said, reading the books in their actual intended order (which as of now is: Flash Crash, Never Go Alone) will make the experience even better!
The release date for Never Go Alone is December 1st. It will be available as a 300-page paperback novel and also as a Kindle ebook at that time. And I will send out another update soon when pre-orders are open!
Thanks so much, and I can’t wait until you all can get your hands on Never Go Alone!
Take care, Denison
