Tana French, The Keeper

“The patron saint of moody, literary crime is closing out her wildly popular Cal Hooper trilogy, and we aren’t quite ready to say goodbye. . . . Nobody writes communal paranoia and private guilt like French does.”
–Oprah Daily

David Swinson, From the Dust
(Mulholland Books)
“[From the Dust] walks an emotional tightrope . . . Told almost entirely in the first person, the novel’s interior dialogue is sharp, authentic, and accentuates the sense of small-town claustrophobia.”-

Sandie Jones, Killing Me Softly
(Minotaur Books)
“A chilling novel that explores the darkly intimate connection between guilt and obsession.”

Tamika Thompson, The Curse of Hester Gardens
(Erewhon)
“Ringing with lyricism and suspense, The Curse of Hester Gardens is a compelling vision of the horror of trying to raise sons in public housing haunted by violence. Despite ghosts and the uncanny, the true terror is the trap of poverty, which tests a mother’s love to its limits. Tamika Thompson’s sharp characterization and insightful storytelling make this a must-read.”
