Joseph Kanon recommends
The Borrowed Hills (2024)
Scott Preston
"You could read this remarkable novel just for its dazzling prose, but there's more: razor sharp dialogue, meshed gear plotting, and above all a powerful evocation of a landscape and a way of life unknown to most of us, until now."
Point of Order (2024)
(Judge Norcross, book 3)
Michael Ponsor
"The courtroom seen from the Judge's bench-a legal thriller both entertaining and normally nuanced, filled with telling insider details."
The Peacock and the Sparrow (2023)
I S Berry
"The Peacock and the Sparrow is that rare thing: a genuine page turner that also has something to say. A sharp, knowing look at today's CIA, with the moral complexities of the best spy fiction and a Persian Gulf setting so richly detailed and immediate you feel you could reach out and touch it. A remarkable debut."
