Ways and Means (2024)
Daniel Lefferts
"Deadly serious in ambition, wildly entertaining in execution, Ways and Means is a remarkably accomplished debut . . . Every line of this gorgeous novel glows with Lefferts' intelligence and compassion."

Under the Storm (2024)
Christoffer Carlsson
"[Christoffer] Carlsson is to the police procedural what Cormac McCarthy is to the Western."

The Road from Belhaven (2024)
Margot Livesey
"The Road from Belhaven is a marvel. In this radiantly beautiful novel, Margot Livesey introduces us to Lizzie Craig, an unforgettable 19th-century Scottish clairvoyant haunted by her future as much as her past. Livesey has crafted a story as thrilling as it is thoughtful, one animated by life's fundamental question: how do we change?"
