Dennis Lehane recommends
All the Sinners Bleed (2023)S A Cosby"On the basis of four novels, each better than the last (and All the Sinners Bleed the best of them all), it's fairly easy to say that American crime fiction has found its future and his name is S.A. Cosby."Sing Her Down (2023)Ivy Pochoda"A thoroughly entertaining, mean-as-a-snake modern Western, Sing Her Down hits like a shotgun blast." Everybody Knows (2023)Jordan Harper"What a ride! If it were possible for James Ellroy and James M. Cain to produce a bastard love child, it would be EVERYBODY KNOWS by Jordan Harper. Awash in substance abuse, sex and demented violence, this is the LA of a good drug trip turned very bad." Long Bright River (2020)Liz Moore"A remarkable, profoundly moving novel about the ties that bind and the irrevocable wounds of childhood. It’s also a riveting mystery, perfectly paced. I loved every page of it." The Current (2019)Tim Johnston"Tim Johnston’s second novel, The Current, is even better than his first, which is saying something. He’s a terrific writer and definitely a name to watch." The Blinds (2017)Adam Sternbergh"Adam Sternbergh is a genre-bender of the highest caliber. Part thriller, part Western, part pulpy whodunit, The Blinds is a propulsive and meaningful meditation on redemption and loss. It’s witty, electrifying, vivid, and thoroughly original." Perfidia (2014)(Second L.A. Quartet, book 1)James Ellroy"[Ellroy’s] style—jumpy, feverish, and anarchic—mirrors the world we enter. . . . The police are not knights, they’re occupiers, and in Perfidia, Ellroy comes closer than ever to making the case that he writes alt-histories not of the Los Angeles police but of the Los Angeles police state. . . . [He] depicts with frightening authenticity how those innocent of crimes are knowingly framed in the interest of the almighty ‘greater good’." The Hollow Girl (2014)(Moe Prager, book 9)Reed Farrel Coleman"In Reed Farrel Coleman's hands, the Moe Prager novels are turning into one of the great series in PI literature. These are soulful, beautifully written investigations into an American Dream that slipped through our fingers when no one was looking." The Girl with a Clock for a Heart (2014)Peter Swanson"What do you say when a woman who broke your heart years ago and is wanted for questioning in connection to a murder pops back into your life to ask a favor? If she’s as alluring as Liana Dector, you say, ‘Yes.’ And hope you survive . . . The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is a twisty, sexy, electric thrill ride." The Cleanup (2006)Sean Doolittle"As long as there are writers like Sean Doolittle out there, American crime fiction has got a sterling future ahead of it." Black River (2002)(Frank Corso, book 2)G M Ford"Hands down, one of my favorite contemporary crime writers." Winter and Night (2002)Blood Ties
(Bill Smith, Lydia Chin, book 8)S J Rozan"SJ Rozan is, hands-down, one of my favorite crime writers working today. To read her is to experience the kind of pure pleasure that only a master can deliver." Critical Space (2001)(Atticus Kodiak, book 5)Greg Rucka"Rucka is a refreshingly bold talent... a great addition to thriller fiction." Fall from Grace (1998)(Jane Candiotti, book 1)Clyde Phillips"FALL FROM GRACE is a deftly plotted first novel with the pace of a hurricane and the imact of an earthquake. All but impossible to put down." Visitors also looked at these authors
