The silver lining to all this time at home is the chance to catch up your reading... and we have some of the best crime novels in existence for your reading pleasure.

CHASING JACK IS CHASING RAVES

New York Times bestselling author Parnell Hall's new dark-comic thriller CHASING JACK isn't coming out from Brash until September, but it's already winning incredible praise from the biggest names in crime fiction.

LEE CHILD says: "Pure Parnell Hall—wit, intensity, sharp dialog and vivid characters ... maybe his best yet."

LAWRENCE BLOCK says: "Chasing Jack is what you'll find if you look up 'Black Humor' in your Funkin' Wagnalls. The wit is savage, the pace relentless. Parnell Hall, always outstanding, has never been better."

HARLAN COBEN says: "Parnell Hall has long been one of the my favorite crime fiction writers. Chasing Jack is his best yet."

Here's the story. Two killers are leaving a trail of mutilated corpses across Manhattan... while hunting a mysterious man with a name so common, they may never run out of victims. They are pursued by a disgraced cop, dying of cancer and desperate for redemption. Caught in the middle, but unaware of it, are a tabloid reporter and the cast of a troubled Broadway play facing a terrifying battle for their lives. You've got to read this one.

BARONI IS BELOVED

If you love COLUMBO, you'll want to read Alfred Harris' light-hearted crime novel BARONI, which doesn't come out until June but has already scored enthusiastic praise from Publishers Weekly, which calls it "an unusually warm-hearted police procedural." The New York Times says "BARONI moves with confidence, avoids cliche and is neatly plotted. You will like this one." We agree!

FRIENDLY WORDS FOR YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD DEATH PEDDLER

Our re-release of Jimmy Sangster's wickedly funny espionage novel YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD DEATH PEDDLER just came out and scored a big rave from Publishers Weekly: "Sangster pulls zero punches in this wild, tawdry, and surprise-filled novel distinguished by sharp dialogue and comic timing." And the Chicago Tribune promises that "this novel can be opened to almost any page and provide a laugh." Isn't a little laughter what we all need now?

DUFF GETS SOME LOVE

Author Gerald Duff is profiled this week by Lone Star Literary Life about his career and the two incredible Ragsdale & Walker crime novels—MEMPHIS RIBS and MEMPHIS LUCK—that are published by Brash Books. He says:

"After I'd written that first novel, one tinged with humor and mayhem and some of the flavor of Memphis—that place of great music, beautiful women, prejudice, scores of churches and bars and honky-tonks, and a dark and tormented past—I'd come to like Ragsdale and Walker so much that I kept writing and thinking about them. As I lived in Memphis, listened to its music, observed its rough and ready and awful and yet charming atmosphere, I became intrigued by its character. Booze, blues, and barbecue offered me material, tone, humor, and the hardcore realities of that place. As I've written elsewhere, if Nashville, Tennessee, is about making money and taking financial and cultural advantage, its competitor Memphis is about kicking back and having a good time and letting the low-side drag."
