Armed with his unmatched fighting skills and relentless drive, he sets out on a quest for truth and justice. HAMMER is the explosive first installment of Joe Betar’s adult action, espionage, and crime thriller novels, including the pulse-pounding Jack Garrett series.
"A Masterful Debut Thriller"
"HAMMER is the debut thriller novel from Joe Betar that is simply impossible to put down. It begins with the murder of US Congressman Louis Garrett and his wife by brutal assassins, which sets a fire ablaze in the heart of their only son, Jack “Hammer” Garrett, a former MMA Champion and successful Texas rancher and outdoorsman, who vows to hunt down their killers and avenge his parent’s deaths.
Joe expertly blends the complexities and nuance of international crime syndicates, illegal arms dealers, human trafficking rings, corrupt humanitarian organizations, the outdoors and hunting world, and combines them into a riveting revenge story that makes you demand justice, to see the wickedness of evil and darkness exposed and expunged!
I work with many authors in the thriller world and Joe Betar has entered an elite room, where his debut work immediately stands on par with the best of them - Jack Carr, Brad Thor, Don Bentley, Tom Clancy, and many other giants in the genre. It’s amazing to think Joe is just getting started…I can’t wait to see where he, and Jack “Hammer” Garrett, will take us next!"
