Hank Phillippi Ryan, One Wrong Word
(Forge)
“Smart, propulsive, and unique…One Wrong Word grabbed me on the first page and didn’t let go. Ryan never fails to amaze me.”
–Mary Kubica
Nick Petrie, The Price You Pay
(Putnam)
“Petrie shows off his action-writing chops with a series of vivid, remarkably clear firefights and, in between, pauses to recover.”
–Booklist
Francis Spufford, Cahokia Jazz
(Scribner)
“A richly entertaining take on the crime story, and a country that might’ve been.”
–Kirkus
Mike Lawson, Kingpin
(Atlantic Monthly)
“Assured prose matches the two capable protagonists: the crafty DeMarco and the relentless, brilliant Emma. This is perhaps Lawson’s best in the series to date.”
–Publishers Weekly
Jahmal Mayfield, Smoke Kings
(Melville House)
“Provocative… Mayfield examines the issue of prejudice and justice from all sides… (a) chilling debut thriller.”
–LA Times
Megan Nolan, Ordinary Human Failings
(Little Brown)
“A subtle, accomplished and lyrical study of familial and intergenerational despair, a quiet book about quiet lives… an excellent novel: politically astute, furious and compassionate… a genuine achievement.”
–Keiran Goddard, The Guardian
David Downing, Union Station
(Soho)
“Union Station is a first-rate espionage novel. Taut, intelligent, enthralling.”
–William Boyd
Jenny Hollander, Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead
(Minotaur)
“As twisty a thriller as you’re likely to read this year, a propulsive dive into the dark secrets we keep buried, even from ourselves, and the lengths to which we will go to keep it there.”
— BookTrib
Jonathan Kellerman, The Ghost Orchid
(Ballantine)
“[Jonathan] Kellerman delivers clever twists alongside the lived-in banter between his leads that sets this series apart. It’s both a treat for longtime fans and a great entry point for newcomers.”
–Publishers Weekly
Amy Hayes, The Year of the Locust
(Atria/Emily Bestler)
“An absolutely brilliant, tension-filled, tour de force. This novel scared the sh*t out of me!”
–Brad Thor
