S.A. Cosby, Blacktop Wasteland
(Flatiron)

“Violence-tinged heists, muscle cars, and dead-end poverty in America generate the full-on action and evocative atmosphere in this beautifully wrought tale of one Beauregard Montage, a man who, convinced he can’t escape the past, revs directly into his uncertain future.”
–Daneet Stephens, The Boston Globe

Alex Gilly, Death Rattle
(Tor)

“Impressive….will keep readers turning the pages. Thriller fans will want to see more of Nick.”
Publishers Weekly

Jeff Abbott, Never Ask Me
(Grand Central)

“Cunning and complex.”
Publishers Weekly 

Ellie Griffiths, The Lantern Men
(HMH)

“…takes the reader’s breath away…. Once again expertly incorporating myth and folklore into the story—this time, it’s the menacing Lantern Men, said to haunt the local fens and who may be responsible for the killings.”
Booklist

Sung J. Woo, Skin Deep
(Polis)

“A heroine who’s by turns wide-eyed, gravely amused, susceptible, and plenty cool enough for an encore.”
Kirkus Reviews

Ace Atkins, The Revelators
(Putnam)

“Quinn Colson is my kind of guy. I would follow him anywhere.”
–Lee Child

Daniel Silva, The Order
(Harper)

“Swiftly paced and elegantly rendered, The Order will hold readers spellbound, from its opening passages to its breathtaking final twist of plot. It is a novel of friendship and faith in a perilous and uncertain world. And it is still more proof that Daniel Silva is his generation’s finest writer of suspense and international intrigue.”
