Sarah Langan, A Better World
(Atria)
“An apocalyptic thriller that becomes more terrifying with every turn of the page.”
–Booklist
Megan Miranda, Daughter of Mine
(S&S/MarySue Ricci)
“Miranda, a consummate professional when it comes to exposing the small community tensions that naturally arise when people live in close proximity for generations, exposes revelation after twisty revelation… Small-town claustrophobia and intimacies alike propel this twist-filled psychological thriller.”
–Kirkus Reviews
CJ Tudor, The Gathering
(Ballantine)
“Vampires, or ‘vampyrs,’ roam the earth—and provoke heated political debate—in this wildly imaginative supernatural thriller from Tudor . . . This frostbitten procedural is a bloody good time.”
–Publishers Weekly
Seraphina Nova Glass, The Vacancy in Room 10
(Graydon House)
“Weaves an interesting plot that keeps readers intrigued until the end. Recommended for fans of murder mysteries.”
–Booklist
Dane Bahr, Stag
(Counterpoint)
“Once you’re in the novel’s grip, it’s difficult to break free. A predator thriller with a difference, by a rising star in the field.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Lindy Ryan, Bless Your Heart
(Minotaur)
“Ryan melds mystery, horror, and family drama in her sharp solo debut… This has bite.”
–Publishers Weekly
Robert Dugoni, A Killing on the Hill
(Thomas & Mercer)
“Dugoni scores a decisive win with this tale of greed, lust, and bloodshed: it’s chock-full of expertly drawn characters and plenty of historical lore, and its note-perfect noir atmosphere could accommodate James Cagney. Here’s hoping this gets the series treatment.”
–Publishers Weekly
Rena Pederson, The King of Diamonds
(Pegasus)
“With a novelist’s gift for description and a detective’s keen eye for evidence, Pederson considers suspects ranging from gigolos to interior designers and jewelers. It’s a pleasure to watch her cross them off her list one by one until she resurrects a convincing theory that the case’s original investigators were unable to pursue. This is a must-read for any true crime buff.”
–Publishers Weekly
Nicholas Shakespeare, Ian Fleming: The Complete Man
(Harper)
“Monumental . . . . Mr. Shakespeare is so adept . . . at distilling complex history and conjuring cinematic images.”
–Wall Street Journal
James Patterson and Matt Eversmann, The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians
9Little Brown)
“A celebration of the world of books. … and the deep satisfaction of creating a vibrant community for readers. A compendium of warm recollections.”
–Kirkus Reviews
