Loved THE ASCENT. Enjoyed this just as much, if not more. Kurt Argento is a great character, and Plantinga's background in law enforcement shows, as the details of policing are top-notch. Highly recommended!

Hard Town packs hard hitting thrills and punches with intriguing moral dilemmas interspersed between suspenseful bits of crime solving and ass-kicking. You’ll be reading this without wanting to take even the smallest of breaks.

Adam Plantinga Is now my go to for action thrillers. I devoured this book. The author’s experiences and knowledge add a level of realism that can be missing in the genre. The Ascent was one of my favorite reads of the year and the sequel did not disappoint. The author did not gloss over how the events of the first book changed the main character. and that feels more genuine. I’m so happy this is a series. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the copy. Will definitely recommend.

When a plea for help sends retired Detroit cop Kurt Argento to the small desert town of Fenton, Arizona things immediately don’t appear to be as they seem, and he finds himself unraveling secrets... Good book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and a few twists and turns. The story was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
