Eric Beetner recommends

Things Get Ugly (2023)
Joe R Lansdale
"If there is a writer with a more distinct voice, I don't know them. When Lansdale turns his pen to crime stories you get his signature wild imagination, humor as dark as the bottom of a well and characters who live and breathe (the ones who make it out alive, anyway). Selected from across his epic career, Things Get Ugly burns like backwoods moonshine going down. A best of Joe R. Lansdale is a best of the genre--full stop."

Under Color of Law (2021)
(Trevor Finnegan, book 1)
Aaron Philip Clark
"Under Color of Law does what great crime fiction should: it kept me turning pages while I was reading it and kept me thinking about it when I wasn’t. Clark establishes himself as heir apparent to Michael Connelly in L.A. police novels."

A Walk in the Fire (2018)
(Judah Cannon, book 2)
Steph Post
"Choose your superlative: compelling, exciting, thrilling. They all apply. In Walk in the Fire, Steph Post delivers more of her trademark style with a scorching plot burning around a beating heart and compelling characters you won’t soon forget. The perfect blend of backwoods crime and family drama, southern fried and served hot."
