Thomas Mullen recommends

The Cutaway (2017)
Christina Kovac
"A smart, highly satisfying story of crime, politics, the media, and ruthless ambition."

The Hidden Light of Northern Fires (2017)
Daren Wang
"A moving tale of loyalty and betrayal, violence and retribution, lofty ideals and harsh reality. Daren Wang has shined a light on a hidden corner of a story you thought you knew, revealing a divided America that, like our own, is both strange and true."

The Anomaly (2018)
(Anomaly Files, book 1)
Michael Rutger
"With witty writing, sharp characterizations and a killer premise, THE ANOMALY is escapist fun perfectly tuned to our age of conspiracy theories and alternative facts."

A People's History of the Vampire Uprising (2018)
Raymond A Villareal
"A wide-angle, wild and weird exploration of politics, pop culture, and a diseased America. This tale of misguided hero worship and encroaching terror may be the perfect analogy for our own strange times."

Courting Mr. Lincoln (2019)
Louis Bayard
"Courting Mr. Lincoln gives us a young Abe Lincoln as we've never imagined him. It’s a moving portrait, told with cutting wit and intimately drawn detail, of three friends struggling to find their own identities against the weight of social expectations."

Nothing More Dangerous (2019)
(Max Rupert and Joe Talbert)
Allen Eskens
"Both heartwarming and hard-nosed, Nothing More Dangerous is a coming-of-age page-turner that probes the dark heart of small towns and the resilient strength that keeps families together."

The Only Child (2020)
Mi-Ae Seo
"This is one creepy book. Come for the serial killers, criminal profilers and spooky children, stay for the twisting character studies and insight into domestic trauma. But check all the locks first."
