| book description |

The phone rings. It’s your daughter. She’s been dead for four months. Ian Hunt is the police dispatcher for the small town of Bulls Mouth, East Texas. Just as his shift is ending, he gets a call from his fourteen-year-old daughter, Maggie. Maggie, who has just been declared dead, having been snatched from her bedroom seven years ago. Her call ends in a scream. The trail leads to a local couple, but this is just the start of his battle to get his daughter back. What follows is a bullet-strewn cross-country chase along Interstate 10, from Texas to California. Soon to be adapted by Apple TV+, The Dispatcher is a darkly propulsive, action-fueled crime thriller from Ryan David Jahn – the acclaimed author of Acts of Violence and Low Life – about the lengths a man will go to for his daughter. Perfect for fans of Lee Child and Taken. ***** Praise for The Dispatcher: ‘A one-sitting, fist-in-mouth read’ – The Guardian ‘Talk about page-turning’ – Daily Mirror ‘The author leads the new noir pack’ – Financial Times ‘If you only read one book tomorrow, make it this one’ – GQ ‘A breathless, bloody chase all the way to California’ – The Sunday Telegraph
