Here’s One Book That Won’t Blend Into The Crowd!

Monday, May 5th, 2014

Red-Chameleon_WrightTHE RED CHAMELEON comes out next month from Pegasus Books, and the critics seem to be as excited about Erica Wright’s debut mystery as we are!

Publishers Weekly calls it “riveting” and declares that “readers will want to see more of the humorous, thoroughly engaging Kat.”

Library Journal says “Wright’s debut novel offers a promising start to a hard-boiled series featuring an idiosyncratic female PI whose quirkiness will appeal to fans of Linda Barnes or Karen Kijewski.”

More praise after the jump!

Early Praise For Billboard Man!

Thursday, August 1st, 2013

Thomas & Mercer will publish BILLBOARD MAN, the second installment of Jim Fusilli’s Samaritan series, in September, and we’re very pleased to share its first review!

Library Journal writes, “At first blush, Fusilli’s sequel feels like one of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher entries. But as the plot thickens, the situations grow funnier — think Elmore Leonard. Offering a neatly plotted tale full of humor with just a little pathos, Fusilli has created a captivating knight errant thriller.”

Kirkus Reviews proclaims, “George’s all-too-familiar story is so richly observed, subtly characterized, precisely written—her syncopated paragraphs are a special delight—and successful in its avoidance of genre clichés that you’d swear you were reading the first police procedural ever written.”
