Excerpts

Kingpin

Mike Lawson

"When the fine folks of Boston think about organized crime in their fair city, if they think about the subject at all, they think of Whitey Bulger."


Blizzard

Marie Vingtras, translated by Jeffrey Zuckerman

"I lost him. I let go of his hand to retie my laces and I lost him."


Tell Me Who You Are: Excerpt and Cover Reveal

Louisa Luna

"There’s only one red line we have to worry about, only one little tick mark where the dial has to land in order for me to break my promise, and that would be if you told me you were going to kill someone."


House of Bone and Rain: Cover Reveal and Excerpt

Gabino Iglesias

"I thought about it and I couldn’t let him go alone. I could help keep him focused. I could keep him from doing something dangerously stupid. I could be the voice of reason, especially if Tavo didn’t want to go."


What We Buried

Robert Rotenberg

"He’d been shot. Bad. Angela was here with him. Good. What else was good? He searched his brain. He wanted something else to be good."


It’s Elementary: Excerpt and Cover Reveal!

Elise Bryant

"Someone’s there. Someone who sounds like they’re having as bad a day as I am."


Farewell, Amethystine: Excerpt and Cover Reveal

Walter Mosley

"There was nothing this woman said that I did not like. Her sentences were pithy, like a combat general’s orders in the heat of battle."


Silver Scream: Excerpt with Audio

Roy Merkin

"With everyone gone into the yard, or upstairs, the Shadow Man enters the house."


Storm Warning: Excerpt and Cover Reveal

David Bell

"I left work early to beat the storm, but I’m barely going to make it back to the island."


Past Lying

Val McDermid

"Looking down across the New Town and beyond from this height, nothing was stirring. It was like the zombie apocalypse without the zombies."
