The Quiet Librarian (2025)
Allen Eskens
"Hana Babic is a ghost in every sense of the word until she hears news that threatens her solitary existence and for her past to bleed into her present. The Quiet Librarian is a beautifully written, harrowing account of the lengths one will go to keep a secret and the horrors that await when the shadows come to light."
thumb
Joe Hustle (2024)
Richard Lange
"As he spends his life cycling through odd jobs and making questionable life choices, veteran Joe Hustle's main credo is 'don't die.' A wonderfully bittersweet and darkly humorous tale, Richard Lange's Joe Hustle is part love story and part recorded memoir of a man whose main goal is to just make it through life alive. Hard to put down and easy to get lost in."
thumb
All Is Not Forgiven (2023)
Joe Kenda
"Joe Kenda's All Is Not Forgiven is a wonderful, authentic read, told as through a casual conversation with a friend. It is an energizing and entertaining trip into Sin City's seedy underbelly viewed through both sides of the law. Pick this one up."
