Andrew Welsh Huggins, The End of the Road
(Mysterious Press)

“An elegant crime story … packed with quirky, entertaining characters and told in flowing prose that has a life of its own…. Recommend this to action fans and to anyone who can respond to golden―if blood-soaked―prose.”
–Booklist

John Sandford, Dark Angel
(Putnam)

“The second Letty Davenport thriller will satisfy Sandford’s numerous readers, with its high-octane action and gallows humor.”
–Library Journal

Rick Mofina, Everything She Feared
(MIRA)

Everything She Feared moves like a raging river. This is a thriller not to be missed!”
–Michael Connelly

Will Thomas, Heart of the Nile
(Minotaur)

“The author does a terrific job playing a variation on the classic brilliant sleuth and capable sidekick duo. Thomas is on a roll.”
–Publishers Weekly

Megan Miranda, The Only Survivors
(Simon and Schuster)

“It would be hard to concoct a more promisingly sinister setting [that] affords plenty of hiding places for predators and plenty of opportunities for the weather itself to turn villainous. Miranda uses this setting to maximum effect, both as a plot device and as a way to inject steady droplets of terror into the narrative. Masterfully suspenseful.”
–Booklist

Peter Robinson, Standing in the Shadows
(William Morrow)

“Readers will love getting a fascinating primer in both modern forensics and archaeological techniques.”
–Booklist

Chanel Cleaton, The Cuban Heiress
(Berkley)

“Nothing is what it seems in Cleeton’s latest gripping historical novel…. Handsome con men, clever thieves, desperate rebels, and our valiant heroines all convene on this elegant but doomed ocean liner.”
–Booklist

Shannon Kirk, Tenkill
(Polis Books)

“Kirk’s legal expertise is apparent in the investigation’s absorbing high-tech details, and the tense, carefully plotted chases through Boston’s streets have a cinematic quality.”
–Booklist

Mark Bowden, Life Sentence: The Brief and Tragic Career of Baltimore’s Deadliest Gang Leader
(Atlantic Monthly Press)

“Most of the TTG gang members are now serving life sentences, but as Bowden starkly illustrates, neutralizing one criminal enterprise won’t solve the great ongoing tragedy of violence in poor, isolated urban Black communities, nor will it fix the devastation fueled by racist policies from the 19th and 20th centuries.”
–Washington Post

Stephan Talty, Koresh: The True Story of David Koresh and the Tragedy at Waco
(Mariner)

“Impressively researched and written with storytelling verve. … Talty delves the deepest into the history and twisted personality of David Koresh.”
–Wall Street Journal
