sweet-goodbye-199x300.jpeg

Ron Corbett, The Sweet Goodbye
(Berkley)

“Small town secrets and big time corruption. The Sweet Goodbye is a throwback to the days of moody, flawed heroes and fun, complex bad guys. Compelling classic noir that plays out in a forgotten America.”
Ace Atkins

blood-sugar-199x300.jpeg

Sascha Rothchild, Blood Sugar
(G. P. Putnam)

“Mesmerizing. . . Rothchild does a terrific job keeping readers wondering about Simon’s reliability, and pulls off the considerable challenge of engendering sympathy for an unrepentant killer. Vivid prose is another plus.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review

dream-town-199x300.jpg

David Baldacci, Dream Town
(Grand Central)

“Baldacci paints a vivid picture of the not-so-distant era . . . The 1950s weren’t the fabled good old days, but they’re fodder for gritty crime stories of high ideals and lowlifes, of longing and disappointment, and all the trouble a PI can handle.”
Kirkus, starred review

pay-dirt-road-197x300.jpeg

Samantha Jayne Allen, Pay Dirt Road
(Minotaur)

“The Texas landscape, with its falling-apart houses and bedraggled bars, comes alive in this remarkable novel, reminiscent of Larry McMurtry’s The Last Picture Show.” —Booklist, starred review

The-Man-Who-Invented-Motion-Pictures-201

Paul Fischer, The Man Who Invented Motion Pictures
(Simon and Schuster)

“Vivid character sketches, lyrical descriptions of the art and science of moviemaking, and a dramatic plot twist make this a must-read.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review

mutinous-194x300.jpg

Joan DeJean, Mutinous Women: How French Convicts Became Founding Mothers of the Gulf Coast
(Basic Books)

“What transpired after they landed ashore, however, is a clear demonstration of the beauty and power of the feminine spirit, and DeJean chronicles their experiences in well-written, often gripping prose….Readers will come away fascinated and inspired by this relatively unknown tale of strength and the human spirit.”
Kirkus, starred review

passersthrough-197x300.jpg

Peter Rock, Passersthrough
(Soho)

“A captivating page-turner . . . Its best elements, like its supernatural overtures, are reminiscent of Stephen King’s The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.”
Kirkus Reviews

pesticide-200x300.jpeg

Kim Hays, Pesticide
(Seventh Street)

“A highly original police procedural, set in Switzerland, with a charming cop heroine who is also a mum, and blending drug deals and organic farming to produce a first-rate yarn.”
Martin Walker

when-the-corn-200x300.jpg

Jeremy Scott, When The Corn Is Waist High
(Keylight Books)

“Highly original . . . Ample dry humor leavens a plotline that thoughtfully explores the heart of human darkness . . . Michael Koryta admirers will be enthralled.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review

fifty-four-pigs-195x300.jpg

Philipp Scott, Fifty-Four Pigs
(ECW)

“A charming mystery, the first in a series featuring Peter Bannerman, an amiable, introverted, tea-drinking, obsessive vet, who converses more with his dog, Pippin, than with his wife, Laura, or anyone else … James Herriot fans will want to check out this one.”
Publishers Weekly
