Denise Hamilton recommends
Top Rankin' (2021)
Howard Paar
"Howard Paar has single handedly created the punk LA crime novel and crammed it with vérité scenes at 1980s clubs, Hollywood backstreets, and real characters with nods to The Specials,The Clash, The Psychedelic Furs, Iggy Pop, The Canterbury, The Nickodell, The Zero Zero Club, Darby Crash, and dozens of others. As founder of America's first ska venue The ON Klub in Los Angeles's Silverlake neighborhood, Paar has the musical and literary chops and personal experience to bring this world alive in this pacey joyous thriller."
The Moment Before Drowning (2018)
James Brydon
"This book haunted me--the protagonist's moral conflict is so poignant, the writing is luminescent, and the postwar French and Algerian landscapes are immaculately drawn. Take a bit of Albert Camus, mix in some Nobel Prize–winning Patrick Modiano, add a dollop of French noir, and voilà, you have James Brydon's The Moment Before Drowning."
Keep Your Friends Close (2014)
Paula Daly
"The suspense, dread and paranoia intensify with each page. Paula Daly explores what happens when a serpent invades the family nest, twisting truth into lies and illuminating our deepest fears. A novel that explores the power of family, love and betrayal, and what lengths we will go to keep our loved ones safe."
