Richard Price recommends

Coffin Moon (2025)
Keith Rosson
"Keith Rosson is a master."

Just Thieves (2021)
Gregory Galloway
"A sucker punch noir that is also a powerful and haunting allegory of work, debt, and power."

Proving Ground (2017)
(Lourdes Robles, book 1)
Peter Blauner
"Over the last 25 years Peter Blauner has proven to be a master of the urban darkside, his crime novels suffused with a knowing compassion for the bottom dogs who live in the Minotaur's maze that is New York City. Proving Ground is one of his finest efforts."
