C J Box recommends

Skyring Water (2026)
Beau L'Amour and Louis L'Amour
"I bow and tip my hat to the amazing talents of Louis L'Amour and Beau L'Amour for Skyring Water. Not only did Louis L'Amour thoroughly entertain me while growing up, but he continues to do so with a wholly unexpected Cold War thriller."

The Harvey Girl (2026)
(Clare Wright, book 1)
Dana Stabenow
"An absolute gem of a novel - a gripping story with great characters and fascinating history"

Rockets' Red Glare (2025)
(Sage Mendiluze, book 1)
Dick Lochte and William Webster
"Rockets' Red Glare is an explosive debut with nonstop action and a terrific sense of place. Welcome aboard, Sage Mendiluze."
