Ghostman, Hobbs - B

This is a debut novel by a young writer, and one getting a lot of attention.   The novel is simultaneously being published in fourteen languages.  I guess the genre might be modern mayhem.  A Ghostman is someone who disappears, lives off the grid, can help others disappear, and, in this instance, is a tech wizard very good with his hands and a gun.  The Ghost owes a favor to a man who sets up crimes, a jugmarker.  He cleans up a bad heist in Atlantic City, frames the jugmarker's arch-antagonist, befriends a female FBI agent and motors away in a boat he bought with his pay for the deal.  I suspect we'll see him again.
