About the authors

Praise for JA Konrath's thriller Fuzzy Navel:

"This gripping novel is an adrenalin rush." — Library Journal

"Fuzzy Navel is Konrath at his best – a hilariously heartstopping thriller." — Linda Fairstein

"This book moves so fast it was like having the words fired into my head by a machine gun." — Crimespree

Praise for Henry Perez's thriller Killing Red

"Intense, lightning-paced, brilliantly executed, a novel that demands to be read in one sitting." — James Rollins

"Fascinating! Killing Red is not for the faint of heart. It kept me turning pages long into the night.” — Lisa Jackson

“Killing Red is an intense, smart read, and Alex Chapa is a character of flesh and blood. A terrific debut—bravo!” — Marcus Sakey

"Killing Red heralds a meteoric debut crafted with surgical skill! Not since Thomas Harris burst onto the scene with Black Sunday has a debut thriller come along that sinks its hooks this deep into a reader from page one. Here's a public service message to all thriller lovers: Do not start this book at night if you want to get any sleep, because you will be up until you cross the finish line – pulse racing, skin sweaty – but happy as hell you decided to go on this magnificent thrill ride. Highest recommendation!" — Jay Bonansinga

"Taut, provocative and unforgettable. Henry Perez's Killing Red is the one debut novel you need to read this year." — Tasha Alexander
