Dennis Lehane recommends
thumb
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."
thumb
Sing Her Down (2023)
Ivy Pochoda
"A thoroughly entertaining, mean-as-a-snake modern Western, Sing Her Down hits like a shotgun blast."
thumb
Night Letter (2023)
Sterling Watson
"The novels of Sterling Watson are to be treasured and passed on to the next generation."
