Crosscut
Colt has a loving relationship with his wife, a blues band with a house gig, and an adopted daughter finishing her senior year in high school. He has no intention of reactivating his PI license anytime soon.
Until…
An old girlfriend tells him something that makes his heart pause and his jaw drop. Could the militia group Colt shut down three years ago be responsible for a double homicide in another state?
Snuff Tag 9
Trying to get by now as a “security consultant,” Colt takes the case of an affluent young accountant who has received a threatening letter—a mandate to drive out to the swamp and play a popular videogame called Snuff Tag 9.
The game is extreme, and intense, and shockingly violent.
Especially when populated with real people.
Key Death
Wanda Taylor wants to meet her biological father for the first time. Happy to have the work, Colt discovers that the man he’s looking for was shot dead two years ago in his Key West apartment.
Now Wanda wants Colt to investigate the murder.
He agrees to take the case.
And soon wishes he hadn’t.
Blood Tattoo
Nicholas Colt…
World-class guitarist with a crushed hand, private investigator with a revoked license. Currently settling into a nice quiet life of teaching music and spending time with his family. Or so he thinks.
Diana Dawkins…
Operative with the ultra-clandestine federal agency called The Circle. Smart, beautiful, deadly. She needs Colt’s help, and she’s willing to pay him well for it.
The bad guys…
Conspirators, traitors, assassins. Well-equipped and organized, they will stop at nothing to get what they want.
And what they want will affect the lives of millions.
Will Nicholas Colt and Diana Dawkins be able to stop them in time?

Jude Hardin’s Colt was a fast entertaining read. Nicholas Colt is hard to resist, sexy as hell, he’s a lost soul whose past haunts him. This is an action-packed PI book with a story that keeps you guessing. A whodunnit that will keep you turning pages. I certainly would read this author again.
sorry the first story wasn’t too0 bad but the more I read the more unrealistic it became. Boring as piss.
A twist on a deadly game played out in real life.
Might be better to read them weeks apart. Same story line . Unrealistic way Colt is saved every time.
hero doesn’t seem to learn from his mistakes, keeps repeating stupid things.
Books had good plots and were well written, but too much sexual violence.
Main character has the worst luck. His investigative cases are extreme and clever. Enjoyable reading.
Hard to put down each of these 4 books
Omg after reading this I read every book he had available on Kindle Unlimited! Fabulous new find!
Well worth the read.
I will definitely look for more books with Nicholas Colt in it! It made it hard to put this book down. I like a good mystery and thriller, this was truly a good series.
Great story lines and very original. I didn’t want each book to end…started the next one immediately.
All four very good easy reads.
unrealistic
You must suspend belief and have a high tolerance for violence. Reading first book, I was ready to rate 2 stars, but protaganist grew on me. Of course, I knew he would somehow survive each absurd situation, since it is a series. Subtitle should be “The Perils of Nicholas.”
4 Nicholas Colt Novels was so unbelievable as to be silly. I had read another of Jude Hardin’s books about Colt before, but don’t remember it being so goofy. Crosscut was bad, Snuff Tag 9, worse and so on until the fourth and final book in the set. I kept thinking Colt was hallucinationing in Blood Tattoo, that was the only way to explain all the over the top weirdness going on. But nope.
Won’t be reading anymore by Mr. Hardin. Bought the set as a thriller type thing, not a science fantasy.
I love the Nicholas Colt series. I’ve red all of them that have come out and I’ll read all the rest. Colt, the flawed hero is my kinda guy!!!
Good stories but predictable by the end.
The story jumps in strange ways that are just not believable. Not worth the effort to read it.
good reading but some of the things that he got involved in seemed a little far fetched . could be kind of gory in spots but the story progressed fairly quickly and did not dwell on those spots.
