Joe Ide recommends
Johnny Careless (2025)
Kevin Wade
"There are a lot of suspects in the murder of careless, care-free Johnny Chambliss. An ex-wife, an embittered coach, a humiliated father, a cabal led by the town mayor, a mysterious foreigner, a lurker who calls himself Angel, and a gang of vicious thieves are all cast in Wade's 'collision between the past and present.' Sheriff Jeep Mullane probes this twisty, unpredictable case, his sharp-as-an-ice-pick investigative skills leading the reader through a nimble, engrossing, thoroughly entertaining novel."
With Prejudice (2022)
Robin Peguero
"With Prejudice is one of the best legal thrillers I've ever read. The story is tense, exciting, and full of twists and turns, with fascinating insights into the intricate workings of the courtroom. But what the author describes is about more than evidence, testimony and legal strategy. It's a gauntlet where the law is punched, kicked and shaped by people with vastly different agendas. With Prejudice is a deeply human story that reveals all the ways that justice isn't blind. It sees through many eyes."
Miraculum (2019)
Steph Post
"Ruby the Snake Charmer is much like the author; keen-eyed, smart and tattooed. Miraculum is a vividly detailed traveling circus, its midway pulsing with a bizarre and alluring cast of clowns, hustlers, gamblers, freaks and cootch dancers. The Man in the Black Suit is as smooth and charming as Fred Astaire but far more dangerous than any viper, his venom threatening Ruby’s entire world. Steph Post’s writing is the Big Top. Buy a ticket. Seats are going fast."
