Wanda Morris, Anywhere You Run
(William Morrow)
“Beautifully rendered prose written in the vernacular of a small Mississippi town will immerse readers in the lives of two sisters trying to survive. In this viscerally frightening novel of the Jim Crow era, Morris writes a stunning, heartbreaking portrayal of being Black in the 1960s U.S. South.”
–Library Journal
Claudia Lux, Sign Here
(Berkley)
“Lux brilliantly combines satire, suspense, and pathos in her remarkably assured debut…Lux balances the whodunit plot and her antihero’s quest perfectly as the action builds to a surprisingly moving place. Readers of paranormal crime series such as Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files will be eager to see what Lux has up her sleeve next.”
–Publishers Weekly
Rene Dudley, The Ransomware Hunting Team: A Band of Misfits’ Improbably Crusade to Save the World from Cybercrime
(FSG)
“[Dudley and Golden] focus as much on people as on the computers . . . Fascinating . . . The ransomware business is complicated, ruthless, and growing fast. Those looking for a guide should start here.”

Stacy Schiff, The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams
(Little, Brown)
“[With] exquisite, fact-based prose… Stacy Schiff has produced a delightfully enthralling and insightful account of an elusive Founding Father. A tour de force.”
–Mark G. Spencer, The Wall Street Journal
Lee Child, Andrew Child, No Plan B
(Delacorte)
“No Plan B is not to be missed. It is a perfectly plotted, fast-paced thriller, with bigger twists than ever before. It’s no wonder Jack Reacher is everyone’s favorite rebel hero.”
–Karin Slaughter
Michael Oren, Swann’s War
(Dzanc Books)
“Historian and diplomat Michael Oren has at long last returned to fiction with an extraordinary collection of stories that sparkle with wit, intelligence, tenderness, and penetrating honesty. The luminous prose is best savored slowly, but most readers will undoubtedly devour The Night Archer in a single sitting and then eagerly await Oren’s next offering.”
–Daniel Silva
Robert J. Lloyd, The Poison Machine
(Melville House)
“Outstanding … Lloyd skillfully combines an endearingly flawed lead, jaw-dropping twists, and the fraught, conspiracy-laden politics of the Stuart Restoration.”
–Publishers Weekly

Lisa Gray, The Dark Room
(Thomas and Mercer)
