Raphael Montes, The Secret Dinner
(Celadon)

“The translator Zoë Alexandra Perry brings Brazil’s top thriller writer to American readers with this fast-paced tale of four broke 20-somethings lured into the world of Rio’s shady elite.

–The New York Times

Steve Hawk, Nearshore

–Booklist

Angel Luis Colon, Pop!
(Ruadan Books)

“POP! is a stunning exploration of ambition and drive… in the capable hands of Angel Luis Colón it becomes an existential journey not to be missed.”
–S.A. Cosby
