Halley Sutton, The Lady Upstairs
(Putnam)
“[A] sizzling debut. . . Sutton’s assured and moody prose often channels the best classic LA noir, but this deliciously tawdry and twisty tale is entirely her own. Readers who savor crime stories featuring complex, unapologetic women will be hooked. A scorching, knockout noir from an author to watch.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Les Standiford (ed.), Miami Noir: The Classics
(Akashic)
“The 19 selections in this welcome reprint anthology in Akashic’s noir series enshrine the dark side of Miami . . . This historical survey makes a fine case for Miami as a timeless setting for great crime fiction.”
–Publishers Weekly
John Douglas and Mark Olshaker, The Killer’s Shadow
(Dey Street)
“Fast-paced tale of the search for a racist serial killer in the early days of criminal profiling…A taut, terrifying view of White supremacy taken to murderous extremes, now all too common.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Mary Higgins Clark & Alafair Burke, Piece of My Heart
(Simon & Schuster)
“The authors show once again how a mother can turn into a courageous warrior when her child’s life is at stake.”
–Publisher’s Weekly
Marc Cameron, Tom Clancy: Shadow of the Dragon
(Putnam)
“Various plots and subplots, along with the usual stories about weapons, geography, and history, plus a few romantic entanglements, keep the pages turning. This is classic Clancy—only new and improved.”
–Publishers Weekly
Jonathan Mayberry, Ink
(St Martin’s)
“Moments of gruesome violence and abuse mark this as not for the faint of heart, though Maberry’s focus on the strength and resilience of his heroes offers a glimmer of light in the darkness….Horror fans should take note.”
–Publishers Weekly
David Baldacci, Daylight
(Grand Central)
“David Baldacci is one of the all-time best thriller authors.”
–Lisa Gardner
Stav Sherez, The Intrusions
(Europa)
“A Silence of the Lambs for the internet age.”
–Ian Rankin
Jane Haddam, One of Our Own
(Minotaur)
“Excellent…Haddam cleverly integrates political issues such as illegal immigration and affordable housing into an intricate and gripping plot.”
–Publishers Weekly
Craig DiLouie, The Children of Red Peak
(Redhook)
“A heart-wrenching, thought-provoking, terrifying tale about the meaning of life… A great choice for fans of Stephen Graham Jones’ The Only Good Indians (2020), Paul Tremblay’s Disappearance at Devil’s Rock (2016), or Alma Katsu’s The Hunger (2018).”
