the accident

The Accident by Chris Pavone (Crown)

From the author of the New York Times-bestselling and Edgar Award-winning The Expats, an elegant and riveting espionage thriller about spies, secrets, and the devastating power of the truth.

“Chris Pavone’s many fans will not be disappointed with The Accident, his fast-paced, twisting, smart follow-up to The Expats. Cleverly plotted, filled with surprises, a terrific read.”
—William Landay, New York Times bestselling author of Defending Jacob

black moon

Black Moon by Kenneth Calhoun (Hogarth)

A hallucinatory and stunning debut that blends lyrical language with high-concept appeal, in the same vein as The Dog Stars and The Age of Miracles—call it “Love in the Time of Insomnia.”

Black Moon is the kind of book I envy as a writer, and seek out as a reader-a novel of ideas wrapped in an gripping, expertly constructed story, full of feeling and intelligence.” —Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe

shovel ready

Shovel Ready by Adam Sternbergh (Crown)

An addictive genre-blend of a thriller: the immersive sci-fi of Ernest Cline; the hard-boiled rhythms of Don Winslow; the fearless bravado of Chuck Palahniuk; and the classic noir of James M. Cain.

“[Sternbergh] combines stunning narrative sleight-of-hand with an ability to create flesh-and-blood characters who bring humor and a resilient humanity to their torn-asunder world. Mixing dystopian science fiction and urban noir with a Palahniuk swagger, this could well be the first novel everybody is talking about over the next few months.” —Booklist (starred review)
