Hard Country (2023)
(Tucker Snow Thrillers, book 1)
Reavis Z Wortham
"An action fan's dream. Non-stop excitement. Wonderful characters. A terrific locale. And a startling bulletin about how your car is watching you."
thumb
Red Queen (2023)
(Antonia Scott, book 1)
Juan Gómez-Jurado
"Terrific - a complex story that unfolds at breakneck speed, a compelling plot filled with twist after twist, a story told with rich, fluid language, and a fascinating, well realized unlikely pair of characters, especially the brilliant Antonia Scott. Distinctive and entertaining."
thumb
Assassin's Lullaby (2022)
Mark Rubinstein
"Mark Rubinstein's Assassin's Lullaby is vividly intense. For this man who doesn't exist but who is all too real, every detail carries life-and-death significance. Every instant might be his last. The immediacy is palpable."
