- THE RIVER by Peter HellerPublished by Alfred A. Knopf in March 2019 “…Heller has such a solid grasp of nature (both human and the outdoors) that the storytelling feels fresh and affecting. In bringing his characters to the brink of death (and past it), Heller speaks soberly to the random perils of everyday living. An exhilarating tale delivered with the pace of a thriller and the wisdom of a grizzled nature guide.” — Kirkus (STARRED REVIEW)

- DARK AUGUST by Katie TalloPublished by Harper Perennial in June 2020 “Augusta ‘Gus' Monet is destined to become our next beloved investigator. Gus returns to her great-grandmother’s dilapidated house and ancient dog to discover the progenitor has died, the dog needs a walk, and a very cold case needs solving. What elevates Tallo’s galloping story is the freshness of the writing, and the deep explorations of character. An imaginative thriller --as much about family, loss, greed, and a young woman’s attempt to find a place in the world, as it is about solving a long buried mystery.” — Peter Heller, New York Times bestselling author of THE DOG STARS and national bestselling author of THE PAINTER, CELINE, & THE RIVER
