“Fans of domestic thrillers will be rewarded.”
–Publishers Weekly
Lee Child, Andrew Child, The Sentinel (Delacorte)
“Brutal action mixes with keen-eyed detective work as Reacher metes out his own brand of justice. . . . If this novel is a harbinger of what’s to come, then Jack is in good hands.”
–Booklist
Andrea Carter, Treacherous Strand (Oceanview)
“[Treacherous Strand] . . . is hugely entertaining and satisfying, full of Irish legal tidbits and solidly drawn characters in a deliciously remote and picturesque locale. Ben is an intelligent and feisty woman you’d want in your corner. Highly recommended.”
–Library Journal
Stephen Spotswood, Fortune Favors The Dead (Doubleday)
“Spotswood’s stellar debut puts a modern spin on classic hard-boiled fiction.”
–Publishers Weekly
Max Seeck, The Witch Hunter (Berkley)
“Seeck’s debut is dark and intricate—the moments of revelation are as vividly cinematic and impactful every time.
–Booklist
Scott James, Trial by Fire (Thomas Dunne)
“The author’s account is minutely detailed, its technical discussions punctuated by human-interest-story portraits of the victims…An unsettling history of horrific events whose memory is still fresh.”
–Kirkus
Alice Henderson, A Solitude of Wolverines
(William Morrow)
“Both a mystery and a survival story, here is a novel written with a naturalist’s eye for detail and an unrelenting pace.”
–James Rollins
Oliver Clements, The Eyes of the Queen (Atria/Leopoldo & Co.)
“The rivalry between Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots, drives the pseudonymous Clements’s twisty, fast-paced debut and series launch set in 1572 England.”
–Publisher’s Weekly
Mats Strandberg, Blood Cruise (Jo Fletcher Books()
“Terrifying and terrifyingly real, a must-read for fans of Stephen King and John Ajvide Lindqvist”
–Elizabeth Hand
Amy Bruni, Life With the Afterlife (Grand Central)
“Bruni’s conversational style and ghost-hunting tips that also serve as life tips (go in with an open mind, don’t judge, beware of your own bias), plus the fact that she makes no attempt to win over non-believers, make this a perfect read for fans and anyone interested in the paranormal.”
