Kristin Chen, Counterfeit
(William Morrow)
“Chen’s third novel is sly and subversive, an examination of motherhood and an incisive look at culture and class . . . A readalike for Amelia Morris’s Wildcat, with a touch of crime.”
–Booklist, starred review
Katie Gutierrez, More Than You’ll Ever Know
(William Morrow)
“A fantastic debut . . . This is a sweeping novel, unflinching and evocative in its engrossing study of love, motherhood, sex, Mexico, journalism and more.”
–Washington Post
Katharine Schellman, Last Call at the Nightingale
(Minotaur)
“The well-developed supporting cast is diverse in race gender, and sexuality, and the suspense will keep readers guessing until the end.”
–BookPage, starred review
Scott Blackburn, It Dies With You
(Crooked Lane Books)
“An engaging tale of redemption wrapped in a gritty crime yarn.”
–Kirkus
Tara Moss, The Ghosts of Paris
(Dutton)
“The romance of Paris, the adrenaline rush of a deadly chase, a soul-shattering secret, and a resilient heroine make for a gripping read.”
–Booklist
Sulari Gentill, The Woman in the Library
(Poisoned Pen Press)
“Ned Kelly Award winner Gentill (Crossing the Lines) presents a complex, riveting story within a story. The fictional story of an author writing about another writer with messy, complicated friendships and suspicion is an innovative literary mystery.”
–Library Journal, starred review
Cornell Woolrich, Deadline at Dawn
(American Mystery Classics)
“Of all the authors whose forte was turning our spines to columns of ice, the supreme master of the art, the Hitchcock of the written word, was Cornell Woolrich.”
–Believer Magazine
Peter Spiegelman, A Secret About a Secret
(Knopf)
“Spiegelman is a top-notch storyteller, and his latest will appeal equally to those who enjoy mainstream procedurals and to genre-blending readers who relish crime novels set in the future.”
–Booklist
James Patterson, James Patterson
(Little, Brown)
“I felt I was interviewing James Patterson under the highest permissible does of sodium pentothal, the truth serum, for hours—and he spilled the whole story of his truly astonishing life.”
–Bob Woodward
Howard Blum, The Spy Who Knew Too Much
(Harper)
“Nail-biting. . . . Blum’s access to Bagley’s writings and a myriad of other sources enables him to craft a page-turning narrative. This reads like a John le Carré novel come to life.”
–Publishers Weekly, starred review
