A Hint of Silver: A Gordan Hudde Novel
Mark Hudson, author
As a former ranger and CIA field operative, Gordan Hudde was used to operating far from friendly support; he never thought that one day that would be the case in Otter, Georgia his adopted new town. Sheriff “Big” John Schmidt convinces Hudde that he may be able to help on a missing children’s case and Gordan is forced to decide between the rules of the law and the rules of what is just. Powerful forces try to derail Gordan, the sheriff’s department, and the FBI agent who has been sent to help. Every minute could mean life or death and when a fourth child disappears, Gordan is put to the test.

Assessment:
The third book in the addictive Gordan Hudde series finds the title character — a former soldier and CIA man — settling into civilian life in rural Georgia. Following a series of child abductions, the local sheriff enlists Hudde’s help in tracking down what turns out to be a multinational operation that steals kids for sex trafficking, body-parts trading and illegal adoptions. Graphic and violent, the gritty manuscript powers along relentlessly. Hudson conveniently drops characters from his narrative, and holes can be poked in the plot, but it’s hard not to root for a hero like Hudde.
