Jonathan Kellerman and Jesse Kellerman, Half Moon Bay (Ballantine)
“Edison is an interesting protagonist, a good man for whom finding the truth is more important than anything else, including his own safety. He’s gentle and strong, compassionate and ruthless, methodical and impulsive.”
–Booklist
Maurizio di Giovanni, Puppies
(Europa)
“In de Giovanni’s novels, the detective story is just a pretext for exploring society’s many facets. He illustrates that Naples is not only made up of camorra and mandolins, but also of the desire for commitment and redemption, for hidden beauties, and the capacity for hospitality and dignity.”
–Elisabetta Bolondi
Joe R. Lansdale, More Better Deals

(Minotaur)”
“Perkins neatly intertwines history, mystery, espionage, and revenge. Cozy fans will be well satisfied.”
–Publishers Weekly
T.M. Logan, The Vacation
(St. Martin’s Press)
“The tantalizing twists, enjoyably written from various characters’ viewpoints, culminate in an unexpected ending…Logan specializes in portraying the lasting effects of split-second decisions; his fans will enjoy another take on that theme here.”
–Booklist
Eve Chase, The Daughters of Foxcote Manor
(Putnam)
