Greg Iles, Southern Man
(William Morrow)
“This is a genuinely terrifying book because of its plausibility—Iles perfectly captures the tinderbox that America is in the post-Trump era. . . .This is a perfectly done political thriller with genuine resonance. Astonishing.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Maureen Marshall, The Paris Affair
(Grand Central)
“Filled with mystery and danger, The Paris Affair is a seductive journey through the glamour and shadows of nineteenth-century Paris.”
–Kelly Bowen
Alex Finlay, If Something Happens to Me
(Minotaur)
“A tightly coiled spine tingle . . . As in Finlay’s previous novels, relentless pacing, impressive characterizations, and the author’s knack for surprise combine to produce top-shelf entertainment. This is a smart, unpredictable winner.
–Publishers Weekly
Lily Samson, The Switch
(Pamela Dorman)
“Shocking, seductive, sexy and scandalous. The Switch is a page-turning thriller, a clever mystery, and a wicked look at love and loyalty.”
–Chris Whitaker
Jaime Lynn Hendricks, A Lovely Lie
(Scarlet)
“Deliciously wicked and briskly paced, A Lovely Lie simmers with deadly secrets, whiplash twists, and a whole lot of attitude. An irresistible page-turner.”
―Heather Chavez
Daniel Kalla, High Society
(Simon & Schuster)
“What a rollercoaster read! A psychiatrist experimenting with psychedelic drugs on her addicted patients was probably not going to end well, but as the story developed and skeletons queued up to fall out of the cupboard, I was totally riveted. Beautifully written and ingeniously plotted, readers will be taken on a trip beyond their imagining.”
–Liz Nugent
John Grisham, Camino Ghosts
(Doubleday)
“The type of wild but smart caper that Grisham’s readers love.”
–Delia Owens
Daniel Weizmann, Cinnamon Girl
(Melville House)
“A Macdonaldesque web of failed Hollywood dreams, lurid parental betrayals and lingering adolescent disappointments.With all of its nods at noir PI models, who were often more tender toward their characters than their reputations would sometimes suggest, this is from start to finish a surprisingly gentle, almost innocent novel, and all the better for it.”
–The Irish Times
Nathan Gower, The Act of Disappearing
(MIRA)
“An exquisite exploration of motherhood and madness and the cost of withholding the truth from generation to generation. Hauntingly beautiful.”
–Fiona Davis
Frank Figliuzzi, Long Haul: Hunting the Highway Serial Killers
(Mariner)
“This is a true crime masterpiece. Figliuzzi combines his career FBI agent’s pursuit of investigative detail, with a journalism-like level of research and story-telling.”
–Don Winslow
