Description

Stan Mullens is an American mercenary in the Congo who sees himself as a good guy with a bad job. Stan’s self-assigned mission to protect his long time brother-in-arms, Frank, takes a serious hit when their boss sends them on an unsupported mission into the jungle to track and kill Tonde Chiora, a former company employee accused of stealing vital company mining technology. 

As their mission takes them deep into the violent heart of the Congo, Stan soon discovers that his victim hasn’t done anything to warrant being murdered. And as he struggles to survive the jungle, his enemies, and Frank’s random acts of violent stupidity, he finds himself increasingly drawn in by the innocence and optimism of the man he is supposed to kill. 

With his enemies closing in and his friendship with Frank falling apart, Stan has to make a dangerous choice between his old loyalties and his new friends. Maybe hardest of all, he has to make peace with the realization that despite what he’s told himself all these years, he is not one of the good guys.

Advance Praise

“This darkly comic debut has more plot twists and traps than the Congo River, and memorable characters who lingered in my mind for weeks. It’s smart, relentless, violent, and curiously introspective.” – Beth Jusino

“Craig Holt’s writing has both rich detail and clarity of thought. He challenges genre definitions and illuminates human character while taking the reader on an unexpected journey.” – Sara Elaine

“Holt is a writer who brings you to the heart of darkness and makes you laugh through the tears. Hard Dog to Kill is a gritty, insightful novel about a man desperately trying to calibrate his broken moral compass while fighting his way through the shadows of the modern-day Congo.” – Anne Belen
