World War Zero (2022)
(Adventures of Marah Chase, book 1)
Jay Stringer
"Marah Chase is cunning, empowered, and queer, a Lara Croft for the 21st century."
thumb
Windhall (2021)
Ava Barry
"At once a cold case mystery and a love letter to Hollywood during the height of its golden age, Windhall is a dark romance of place, from its shimmering Gatsby-esque parties to the shadowy mise en scène of its crime scenes. Barry’s prose is precise, vivid, and seductive; the lure of the past is so potent in the mind of the main character, the intrepid journalist-on-the-case, that you feel his obsession deepening page after page. It's a gorgeous, bedeviling, and compulsively readable debut not to be missed fans of historical mysteries and Hollywood lore."
