Ace Atkins, Don’t Let the Devil Ride
(William Morrow)
“Ace Atkins’s killing honesty sets a new standard for Southern crime fiction.”
–New York Times Book Review
Joseph Kanon, Shanghai
(Scribner)
“As in his spy novels, Kanon demonstrates a mastery of closed-in drama. Such is the jabbing understatement of the dialogue—what’s withheld matters more than what’s said—that it holds you in suspense as much as any action scene. The contrast between his impeccable control and the nightmarish chaos of this time and place gives things a powerful edge. Kanon goes to China with stirring results.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Richard Lange, Joe Hustle
(Mulholland)
“Joe Hustle may be the best novel yet from the always reliable Lange: a harrowing and occasionally hilarious character study in resilience. This is a home run.”
–Publishers Weekly
Flynn Berry, Trust Her
(Viking)
“In Edgar winner Berry’s harrowing sequel to Northern Spy…[her] moving depiction of a fractured family whose love runs as deep as its rifts should please existing series fans and win her new ones. Espionage buffs will find much to enjoy.”
–Publishers Weekly
Robert J. Lloyd, The Bedlam Cadaver
(Melville House)
“Riveting… A jaw-dropping mystery that grips from the first page and doesn’t let go. This continues the author’s winning streak.”
–Publishers Weekly
Tasha Coryell, Love Letters to a Serial Killer
(Berkley)
““…[A]n unhinged, humorous nail-biter that meets satirical social commentary for a wild, engrossing thrill ride.”
—Seattle Times
Dean Jobb, A Gentleman and a Thief
(Algonquin)
“Dean Jobb has long been a master of narrative nonfiction, rummaging through the past to uncover lost gems of history. And in this mesmerizing tale about a Jazz Age gentlemanly thief, Jobb has found his own perfect jewel.”
–David Grann
Monika Kim, The Eyes are the Best Part
(Erewhon)
“A tense, harrowing nightmare of a novel. Monika Kim gives us unraveling sanity, grotesque obsession, and the suffocating ignorance of toxic men. A terrific debut! I can’t wait to see what she does next!”
–Christopher Golden
Shan Seraffin, The Paris Vendetta
(Mysterious Press)
“Shan Serafin’s The Paris Vendetta is a smart, high-octane thriller that delivers from the first page to the last. An American in Paris is accused of arson and murder and becomes the subject of a furious manhunt. Think Jason Bourne caught in a blizzard of bullets in beautiful Paris.”
― James Patterson
Christie Watkins, Moral Injuries
(Harper)
“…propulsive…[Watson] shines in her portrayal of medicine as an imperfect blend of art, science, and emotion. Fans of medical fiction will admire this.”
