A locally based author and a Bahamian graphic artist have combined their talents to launch a novel that is inspired by true events that actually happened in Freeport. The book, The Hatcher File, has garnished positive reviews on Amazon and is rapidly climbing their rankings.
Ray Knight, the author, has lived in Nassau for over two decades and worked for many years at the casino in Atlantis, where some scenes of his novel are set. Audra Martin, the graphic designer, designed the book cover and all promotional material. Audra is a self-taught graphic artist with an gift of bringing ideas to fruition in the form of stunning images. The result is a fast-paced, action/suspense, novel with an eye-catching cover.
For those who love Jason Bourne or James Bond, Tom Hatcher will take you in a new and exciting direction.
Tom, ex SAS and soldier of fortune, is enjoying a quiet retirement in an island paradise. An unexpected incident thrusts him back into the world of intrigue and danger from which he had escaped. Set against an idyllic backdrop, Tom struggles against influential enemies who reach into the top corridors of power.
Targeted by a Russian arms dealer and a Colombian drug cartel, Tom finds himself in a fight for his life. He has vowed never to kill again after quitting black operations with the Special Forces, how can you survive without killing when everyone wants to kill you? Tom’s solution is ingenious but risky and will have you on the edge of your seat until the final page.
Harried by elements within MI6, and abetted by the DEA, he races against time to save himself and the one person he loves. Inspired by real life events, this fast-paced action adventure takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride through the Caribbean and culminates in a gripping finale in Old Windsor, England.
Author Ray Knight was born just outside London, England in 1955. He travelled extensively throughout the world before settling in The Bahamas over twenty years ago. His work in the casino industry enabled him to explore the entire Caribbean where his first novel takes place. Ray has had several short stories published in local magazines. A Bahamian newspaper article and the author’s trip to Curacao inspired him to write The Hatcher File.
