Ilium (2024)
Lea Carpenter
"Ilium goes well beyond offering an exciting take on espionage literature. Lea Carpenter has built an entirely new wing onto the genre. Intricate, propulsive, rendered with deft emotion, this female-centric spy story has a deeply human heart."
Speech Team (2023)
Tim Murphy
"Very few novelists can write with such daring, hilarity, and heartbreak as Tim Murphy. Speech Team is so wildly entertaining you don't realize its punch until it knocks you flat. The novel is an ode to growing up in the '80s and reliving those messy, uncouth years in relatively wiser adulthood. But its real subject is the wounds inflicted in our youth that become both our making and unmaking. Murphy creates characters so vivid we don't want to let them go."
The Gulf (2023)
Rachel Cochran
"Haunting, transfixing, beware to anyone who interrupts you while you're reading it. The Gulf is a rare jewel of a novel that works as an intricate murder mystery and a harrowing plunge into the racial and sexual politics of a struggling Gulf Coast town. Rachel Cochran creates such vivid atmosphere, you swear you're breathing the secrets trapped in the Parson, Texas air. A thriller with a beating heart."
