Joe Hustle
Lange is so adept at drawing his two main characters that readers won’t mind the relative lack of plot twists; the real suspense comes from seeing Joe Hustle skate by one more time.
PREMIUM
Crook Manifesto
This isn’t the rollicking caper its predecessor was, but it’s still a worthy addition to one of the most distinguished oeuvres in modern fiction.
PREMIUM
The Enigma of Room 622
Twists abound in this elaborate mystery, but readers will have to power through clichéd dialogue, jarring time shifts, and thin characterization to enjoy them.
PREMIUM
Upgrade
This accessible, swiftly paced, thought-provoking novel should garner Crouch’s widest readership yet. Recommended for fans of science fiction, crime, or spy thrillers.
PREMIUM
An Honest Living
Murphy’s writing is smart, ruminative, and referential. His narrator knows he’s in a story that mirrors the plot of the film Chinatown, and though the mystery itself is light on twists, it’s all worth it for this lovingly rendered snapshot of an already-bygone city, with details reeking of authenticity, down to the last barstool.
PREMIUM

The early pages of this book from veteran novelist Dawson (author of several novels under the Star Wars franchise) feature several graphic scenes of emotional and physical abuse that might lose it some readers, but what’s left is a propulsive redemption story with a determined woman at its center.
Notes on an Execution
A contemporary masterpiece that sits alongside The Executioner’s Song and Victim: The Other Side of Murder in the library of crime literature.
