(Crooked Lane)
“Rowland’s portrait of Victorian London is so immersive . . . A Grand Guignol treat, dazzling and lurid.”
Kirkus Reviews
T. Jefferson Parker, A Thousand Steps
(Forge)

disparate elements superbly.”
Booklist
Ace Atkins, Robert B. Parker’s Bye Bye Baby
(Putnam)
“Atkins continues his very successful stewardship of the late Robert B. Parker’s beloved Spenser series. . . This fast-moving and suspenseful thriller is also laced with clever banter. . . Spenser lives and lives well!”
Booklist
Charles Cumming, Box 88
(Mysterious Press)
“This outing cements Cumming’s place in the top rank of espionage writers.”
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
David Guterson, The Final Case
(Knopf)
“Equal parts philosophical, humane, and self-deprecating, it powerfully speaks to the ineffable contradiction of living a meaningful life…With its simple message of hope, this novel will linger with readers long after the final page.”
—Publishers Weekly
Fuminori Nakamura (transl. Sam Bett), My Annihilation
(Soho Crime)
“Searing . . . An unnerving tale that richly earns its title. By the last chapter, you won’t believe a word the narrator tells you.”
Kirkus Reviews
Claire Holroyde, The Effort
(Grand Central)
“An adept contribution to the realm of apocalypse fiction.”
