John Vercher recommends

Devil Makes Three (2023)
Ben Fountain
"Woven artfully into the fabric of Ben Fountain's literary thriller Devil Makes Three is a scathing indictment - Reflective and prescient, stunning in its narrative complexity and nuanced characterization, the novel is at once timely and timeless, working double duty as a reminder of the sins of America's past and a warning of those to come."

Real Bad Things (2022)
Kelly J Ford
"Ford's follow-up to her devastating debut novel, Cottonmouths, is a moving meditation on misplaced loyalties, love, and the legacy of violence and abuse, all wrapped in a mystery filled with guy-wire tension."
