*

Michael Connelly, The Hollow
(Little Brown)

“The Hollow explores the former LAPD detective’s origin story…It’s a treat to watch the author add new layers to the characterization of his long-running hero.”
–Publishers Weekly

Matthew Aldrich, The Natural Order
(Atria)

“A gripping and well-paced story full of philosophical questions and emotional gut punches. . . . The scariest thing about this book is that it seems plausible. That said, while it feels like a portrait of a not-too-distant dystopian future, it’s still a very human story—a tale of family and regret, of two men at what might be the ends of their lives, reflecting on what it would mean to do away with death and still feel like there’s not enough time.”
—Kirkus Reviews

Imran Mahmood, When the Birds Don’t Sing
(Bantam)

“Imran Mahmood masterfully deploys an ingenious plot with stunning writing and complex characterization in this epic novel of love, pain, loss, and grief spanning four decades. This is sure to be a massive hit.”
–Liz Nugent

Laura Joh Rowland, Resurrection Kill
(Crooked Lane Books)

“Moving and evocative . . . [Rowland] outdoes herself here, transporting us back to a time that feels more familiar to a modern reader but also strangely, unsettlingly different. There are similarities in theme and texture to Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island (also set in the 1950s), but Rowland is telling her own story, in her own way.”
–Booklist

Nika Grace, Serial Killer Wanted
(Crooked Lane Books)

“A brilliantly written dark and witty thriller with an emotional gut punch at its core. We devoured this in one sitting and can’t wait to see what Nika Grace writes next!”
—Katherine Greene

Version 1.0.0

JM Berger, The Pope’s Hitman
(Crooked Lane Books)

“[A] riveting action thriller . . . Fans of Frederick Forsyth’s conspiracy novels will enjoy themselves.”
–Publishers Weekly

Adam Plantinga, Dark Country
(Grand Central)

“A few pages of Plantinga’s remarkable crime novel, the third in his Kurt Agento series, will hook readers and convince them to keep reading, ignoring their responsibilities… an exhilarating journey… Introspection can be a sin in this hard-boiled world, but not as Plantinga does it… The writing is smart, witty, and a perfect fuse for what follows.”
–Booklist

Alysandra Dutton, The Stolen Women
(Park Row)

“A much-needed feminist perspective on one of the most sexist myths of the ancient world.”
–Library Journal

Paige Shelton, The Bone Woman
(Crooked Lane Books)

“Come explore The Wild in Paige Shelton’s The Bone Woman, an evocative desert foray that will keep readers engaged and guessing to the last pages.”
–Lisa Preston

Rosanne Limoncelli, The Spiral
(Crooked Lane Books)

“A twisty, atmospheric thriller that captures the grit and danger of 1979 New York. The Spiral kept me guessing until the very last page.”
–Rebecca Kanner
