Trapped in the Venezuelan jungle, John Beckett faces his deadliest mission yet.

Ex-Secret Service operative turned world traveler, Beckett planned to marvel at Venezuela’s majestic’s Angel Falls. Instead, he’s thrust into a nightmare when rebel guerrillas capture his tour group.

 

In a jungle prison camp rife with danger, Beckett allies with Vanessa Adler, a CIA officer with her own secret motives, to orchestrate a daring escape.

 

As rebel tensions explode and a monstrous enforcer takes control, Beckett must navigate a deadly web of bloodshed, betrayal, and survival. But with his identity a closely guarded secret, even from those hunting him, every decision risks exposure and disaster.

 

Can Beckett free the hostages and evade his pursuers, or will the unforgiving jungle claim them all?

 

A World of Sun and Violence is a heart-pounding standalone thriller in Matthew Hattersley’s John Beckett series. Perfect for fans of David Baldacci, Lee Child, Mark Dawson, and Daniel Silva.

Matthew Hattersley grew up in Yorkshire, UK, where he mastered the arts of loud music, dramatic exits, and impossible plot twists. Over the past two decades, he's toured Europe in a band, trained as a professional actor, and founded a theatre and media company — all ideal prep for crafting thrilling page-turners. Now, he writes adrenaline-fuelled thrillers and crime novels. His bestselling Acid Vanilla series follows a wily yet flawed assassin teetering on the brink of an existential crisis who, between high-stakes escapades and calculated revenge, realises that redemption is also a killer's pursuit. Matthew lives in Derbyshire with his wife and daughter, who keep him on his toes — and grounded in reality.
