Sweet Thing (2023)
David Swinson
"Sweet Thing is a stunning, wonderful, eye-opening, exciting crime novel that lets author and ex-cop David Swinson carry readers into the realities of their own world where crime and justice swirl into hard realities in streets we all drive. Swinson's unique voice lets the readers find out truths beyond the plot of this fast-paced, ticking-clock noir crime story. Swinson is a treasure among crime writers who's been there, done that and shares it all with a cold eye and a hopeful heart. It's a novel to read, to share, to think about when you look in the mirror."

Shadow State (2023)
Frank Sennett
"Frank Sennett's debut thriller Shadow State is a ticking-clock conspiracy racing through the heartland of America and the perimeters of power where truth and justice are often a longshot."
thumb
No Home for Killers (2023)
E A Aymar
"In his new book No Home for Killers, E. A. Aymar blends Shakespearian tragedy with street savvy for an engrossing and entertaining novel like none other. Lies, secrets, betrayals, and delightfully whacky humor, plus the trials of romance, fill Aymar's novel. No Home for Killers takes on the killers of our era - big money, horrors against women, racism, and personal guilt - with classic noir's cool eye. E. A. Aymar is a benchmark in noir fiction."
