In 1994, his third attempt at a novel, The Standoff, became the subject of a fierce bidding war between five different publishers and was eventually released a year later through Bantam. Born in Boston in 1969, Hogan wrote his first novel during his English degree studies at Boston College after graduating in 1989, he continued to hone his craft while working as an assistant manager of a movie rental store. Initially fixated with the mean streets of his hometown, Boston-based author Chuck Hogan established himself as the king of the gritty crime thriller with the likes of The Killing Moon and Prince Of Thieves - the latter of which was adapted for the big screen as "The Town" (2010) - before teaming up with visionary director Guillermo del Toro for a horror trilogy which breathed new life into the vampire genre.
