James Carlos Blake recommends

The Burden of Truth (2020)
Neal Griffin
"Griffin knows the dark and violent world he writes about. It is our good fortune he is also possessed of the keen talent to write of it so vividly."
thumb
Lady Chevy (2020)
John Woods
"John Woods' Lady Chevy is a hard-bitten work of the heart. He knows his people and their widely-neglected corner of America, knows their language, undying hopes and relentless fears. And knows how to bring them all to energetic life on every page."
thumb
The White Van (2014)
Patrick Hoffman
"A crackling thriller . . . Keep your eye on Patrick Hoffman—he's got the right stuff."
