James Grady recommends
The Vanishing Man (2024)
(Spy Who Vanished, book 1)
Alma Katsu
"Ex-CIA star Alma Katsu delivers a clock-ticking tale that's both revealing of today's spy world wars and a sly homage to a beloved icon of yesterday's espionage literature - and she does so with characters who show their humanity as well as their covert skills."
Sweet Thing (2023)
David Swinson
"Sweet Thing is a stunning, wonderful, eye-opening, exciting crime novel that lets author and ex-cop David Swinson carry readers into the realities of their own world where crime and justice swirl into hard realities in streets we all drive. Swinson's unique voice lets the readers find out truths beyond the plot of this fast-paced, ticking-clock noir crime story. Swinson is a treasure among crime writers who's been there, done that and shares it all with a cold eye and a hopeful heart. It's a novel to read, to share, to think about when you look in the mirror."
Shadow State (2023)
Frank Sennett
"Frank Sennett's debut thriller Shadow State is a ticking-clock conspiracy racing through the heartland of America and the perimeters of power where truth and justice are often a longshot."
