Lilith (2024)
Eric Rickstad
"Lilith is a visceral gut punch of a tale, a blistering and bracing story layered with emotional resonance and a deep understanding of the human condition. Eric Rickstad has fashioned a thriller of rare depth and angst, confronting us with the notion of how far we should go to do what's right, even if it's wrong. Lilith will stay with you long after the final page is flipped, one of those rare books that remind us why we love to read."

Lights Out (2023)
(Kate Green, book 1)
Elise Hart Kipness
"Lights Out is a seminal triumph in mystery writing, as original as it is polished. Elise Hart Kipness's sterling debut takes us inside the world of professional sports on the one hand and a female reporter cracking that particular glass ceiling on the other. A crime thriller of rare depth and societal implications, Lights Out shoots straight and hits the bull's-eye dead center."
thumb
Hard Country (2023)
(Tucker Snow Thrillers, book 1)
Reavis Z Wortham
"Hard Country is easy to love, a beautifully crafted and fully realized thriller of rare depth and pathos. The debut entry in Reavis Wortham's new series is structured along classic lines reminiscent of the best from Ace Atkins, Don Winslow, and even James Lee Burke. This is thriller writing of the highest order that grabs hold from the very first line and doesn't let go until the last. As timely as it is terrific!"
