Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 3 KEN BRUEN https://kenbruenauthor.com/ The Ghosts of Galway (Grove Atlantic, November 17, 2017) From Ireland’s most lyrical crime fiction writer, the latest installment in this addictive series pits “perpetually falling Irish angel Jack Taylor” (Mystery Scene) against a dangerous band of heretics. Ken Bruen is a singular voice in crime fiction “with his ear for lilting Irish prose and his taste for the kind of gallows humor heard only at the foot of the gallows” (New York Times Book Review). In The Ghosts of Galway, he brings those elegiac talents to bear on a case involving a famously blasphemous red book and Bruen’s equally profane antihero Jack Taylor. As well-versed in politics, pop culture, and crime fiction as he is ill-fated in life, Jack Taylor is recovering from a mistaken medical diagnosis and a failed suicide attempt. In need of money, and with former cop on his resume, Jack has been hired as a night-shift security guard. But his Ukrainian boss has Jack in mind for a bit of off-the-books work. He wants Jack to find what some claim to be the first true book of heresy, The Red Book, currently in the possession of a rogue priest who is hiding out in Galway after fleeing a position at the Vatican. Despite Jack’s distaste for priests of any stripe, the money is too good to turn down. Em, the many-faced woman who has had a vise on Jack’s heart and mind for the past two years, reappears and turns out to be entangled with the story of The Red Book, too, leading Jack down ever more mysterious and lethal pathways. It seems all sides are angling for a piece of Jack Taylor, but as The Ghosts of Galway twists toward a violent end, he is increasingly plagued by ghosts—by the disposable and disposed of in a city filled with as much darkness as the deepest corners of Jack’s own mind. KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW The Ghosts of Galway: A Jack Taylor Novel Jack Taylor, Bruen’s perennially tortured protagonist, suffers new levels of angst in his 13th noir outing (after 2016’s The Emerald Lie). Recovering from a failed suicide attempt after a mistaken diagnosis of terminal cancer, Taylor is trying to live the quiet life in Galway, working as a security guard and looking after his dog, Storm. Trouble, however, has a way of finding him. When his boss offers him a job searching for The Red Book, a lost heretical text apparently in the possession of an ex-priest hiding in Ireland, Taylor initially scoffs at the “Dan Brown lite” scheme, but he needs the money and ultimately accepts. Meanwhile, a series of slain animals are found in Galway’s Eyre Square accompanied by cryptic notes left by an ultra–right-wing group that aims to return to an earlier era of conservative religion. When Emily, the chameleonlike sociopath who’s flitted in and out of Jack’s life, turns out to be mixed up in the plot, things get really nasty. Bruen is in top form, and, although everything Taylor touches seems to turn to ash, he embodies such humanity that readers will be unable to resist rooting for him.
Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 4 PRAISE FOR KEN BRUEN AND THE JACK TAYLOR SERIES “The most entertaining of Bruen’s Jack Taylor books . . . [A] fresh reading pleasure.”—Toronto Star (Canada) "Bruen remains on the mountaintop of contemporary Irish noir. Sprightly, elliptical prose is a plus." -- Publisher’s Weekly PW “Taylor is a classic figure: an ex-cop turned seedy private eye . . . The book’s pleasure comes from listening to Taylor’s eloquent rants, studded with references to songs and books. His voice is wry and bittersweet, but somehow always hopeful.”—Seattle Times, on Green Hell “One of the most sublime pleasures in crime fiction is reading a new book by Ken Bruen . . . This is real writing, the likes of which we are blessed to behold.”—Strand Magazine, on Purgatory “Ken Bruen doesn’t need a lot of words to tell his tales of perpetually falling Irish angel Jack Taylor—he knows the right ones. Bruen gets more done in a paragraph, a word, even a fragment of a word, than most writers get in an entire four-hundred-page doorstop. If his prose was any sharper, your eyeballs would bleed.”—Mystery Scene, on Green Hell “The things Jack witnesses these days . . . would cause a saint to go blind. And Jack, whose heroism is fueled by ‘plain old-fashioned rage, bile and bitterness,’ is no saint. Never was, never will be. Amen.”—New York Times Book Review, on Purgatory “Ken Bruen . . . writes in machine gun fashion, his words verbal bullets that rip through the veneer of the safe bourgeois Catholic society in which he was reared . . . The acerbic wit and off- the-wall comments throughout all the books are somewhat reminiscent of the work of Raymond Chandler and Peter Cheyenne.”—Irish Independent, on Green Hell ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ken Bruen received a doctorate in metaphysics, taught English in South Africa, and then became a crime novelist. The critically acclaimed author of eleven previous Jack Taylor novels and The White Trilogy, he is the recipient of two Barry Awards and two Shamus Awards and has twice been a finalist for the Edgar Award. He lives in Galway, Ireland.
Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 5 ALAFAIR BURKE www.alafairburke.com The Wife (Alafair Burke, HarperCollins, Hardcover release: January 23, 2018) His Scandal, Her Secret From New York Times bestselling author Alafair Burke, a stunning domestic thriller in the vein of Behind Closed Doors and The Woman in Cabin 10—in which a woman must make the impossible choice between defending her husband and saving herself. When Angela met Jason Powell while catering a dinner party in East Hampton, she assumed their romance would be a short-lived fling, like so many relationships between locals and summer visitors. To her surprise, Jason, a brilliant economics professor at NYU, had other plans, and they married the following summer. For Angela, the marriage turned out to be a chance to reboot her life. She and her son were finally able to move out of her mother’s home to Manhattan, where no one knew about her tragic past. Six years later, thanks to a bestselling book and a growing media career, Jason has become a cultural lightning rod, placing Angela near the spotlight she worked so carefully to avoid. When a college intern makes an accusation against Jason, and another woman, Kerry Lynch, comes forward with an even more troubling allegation, their perfect life begins to unravel. Jason insists he is innocent, and Angela believes him. But when Kerry disappears, Angela is forced to take a closer look at the man she married. And when she is asked to defend Jason in court, she realizes that her loyalty to her husband could unearth old secrets. This much-anticipated follow-up to Burke’s Edgar-nominated The Ex asks how far a wife will go to protect the man she loves: Will she stand by his side, even if he drags her down with him? “[A] roller-coaster of a domestic thriller.” —Publishers Weekly KEY SELLING POINTS: • The Wife builds on the success of Alafair Burke’s The Ex, which was a hit with readers and critics, netting more than 50,000 copies combined in hardcover and e-book sales. The novel was also nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Novel. • Exploring the choices of women whose husbands are involved in public scandals and the consequences they face, this masterfully written, compulsively readable novel in the popular domestic suspense genre has all the markings of another great success for Burke. • Alafair Burke is the New York Times bestselling co-author of the Under Suspicion series with the legendary Mary Higgins Clark.

Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 7 JAMES LEE BURKE www.jamesleeburke.com Robicheaux (Simon & Schuster, January 2018): Fiction. New York Times bestseller James Lee Burke returns with his latest masterpiece, and returns to reader-favorite character, Dave Robicheaux. James Lee Burke’s most beloved character, Dave Robicheaux, returns in this gritty, atmospheric mystery set in the towns and backwoods of Louisiana. Dave Robicheaux is a haunted man. From the acts he committed in Vietnam, to his battles with alcoholism, to the sudden loss of his beloved wife, Molly, his thoughts drift from one irreconcilable memory to the next. Images of ghosts pepper his reality. Robicheaux’s only beacon remains serving as a detective in New Iberia, Louisiana. It’s in that capacity that Robicheaux crosses paths with powerful mob boss, Tony Nemo. Tony has a Civil War sword he’d like to give to Levon Broussard, a popular local author whose books have been adapted into major Hollywood films. The sword’s history can be traced back to Broussard’s ancestors, and Tony figures it belongs to Levon. But Tony’s intentions aren’t so pure; he believes the gift will lead to a slice of Broussard’s lucrative film adaptations. Then there’s Jimmy Nightengale, the young poster boy of New Orleans wealth and glamour. Jimmy’s fond of Levon’s work, and even fonder of his beautiful, enigmatic wife, Rowena. Tony thinks Jimmy can be a US Senator someday, and has the resources and clout to make it happen. There’s something off about the relationship between these three men, and after a vicious assault, it’s up to Robicheaux to uncover the truth. Complicating matters is the sudden death of T.J. Dartez, the New Iberian local responsible for Molly’s death. Robicheaux’s colleague, Spade Labiche, thinks Robicheaux had something to do with it. Robicheaux’s determined to clear his name. He’s not alone; his daughter, Alafair, along with his old friend, Clete Purcel are right by Robicheaux’s side as he searches for the killer, where a shocking discovery awaits.
Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 8 The Jealous Kind (Simon & Schuster August 30, 2016) From New York Times bestselling author James Lee Burke— an atmospheric, coming-of-age story set in 1952 Texas, as the Korea War rages. On its surface, life in Houston is as you would expect: drive-in restaurants, souped-up cars, jukeboxes, and teenagers discovering their sexuality. But beneath the glitz and superficial normalcy, a class war has begun, and it is nothing like the conventional portrayal of the decade. Against this backdrop Aaron Holland Broussard discovers the poignancy of first love and a world of violence he did not know existed. When Aaron spots the beautiful and gifted Valerie Epstein fighting with her boyfriend, Grady Harrelson, at a Galveston drive-in, he inadvertently challenges the power of the Mob and one of the richest families in Texas. He also discovers he must find the courage his father had found as an American soldier in the Great War. Written in evocative prose, The Jealous Kind may prove to be James Lee Burke’s most encompassing work yet. As Aaron undergoes his harrowing evolution from boy to man, we can’t help but recall the inspirational and curative power of first love and how far we would go to protect it. PRAISE FOR THE JEALOUS KIND: “As always, though, what brings the myth-laden story to pulsing life is Burke’s lyrical prose and his ability to use description to mirror emotion. That and what is perhaps the best last paragraph in this author’s landmark career.”—Booklist, Starred Review “Burke has a hit with this dark, atmospheric story.”—Publishers Weekly “Burke's gritty coming-of-age tale is a typically entertaining read that may cap a trilogy but also begs for a sequel.”—Kirkus Reviews

Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 10 MILES CORWIN http://www.milescorwin.com/ LA Nocturne (Calmann-Levy/FRANCE, January 2017) Los Angeles, 1946. Jake Silver, back from the war with a Silver Star, is a rookie LAPD cop walking a beat in East. L.A. when the elite Central Homicide unit brings him downtown on temporary assignment to help solve a high-profile double-murder. Creighton Cavanaugh, a reporter for The Globe, and Herb “Big Ike” Isaacson, one of gangster Mickey Cohen’s henchman, are found shot to death in Cavanaugh’s apartment, violating an unwritten law in 1940s Los Angeles: Never kill a cop or a newspaperman. Jake is recruited because he has a personal connection to Cohen, who has refused to talk with detectives. The Central Homicide captain believes Silver can convince Cohen to cooperate. Silver escaped Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the only member of his family able to obtain an exit visa. He has been tormented about the fate of his parents and brother and hopes this new assignment will afford him the opportunity to finally get some answers. As Silver investigates the double murder, he penetrates a noirish world populated by crooked politicians, dirty cops, greedy developers, and well-connected racketeers, a place where everyone and everything is for sale. While Silver is immersed in the homicide investigation, he’s also using his detective badge to get answers about his family, delving into the murky realm of refugee politics and Nazi cover-ups. "Miles Corwin beautifully transports us back in time to the Los Angeles of the 1940's and brings to life unique, intriguing characters, while also managing to tell the truth about a dark history of the city whose reverberations continue to be felt today." -- Marcia Clark, author of BLOOD DEFENSE, and former prosecutor in the OJ Simpson case ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Miles Corwin is a former crime reporter at the Los Angeles Times, where he wrote about the LAPD, homicide in South-Central Los Angeles, prisons, and the criminal justice system. A native of Los Angeles, he graduated from University of California, Santa Barbara and received an M.A. at the University of Missouri School of Journalism. Corwin is the author of three nonfiction books: The Killing Season, a national bestseller; And Still We Rise, the winner of the PEN West award for nonfiction and a Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year; and Homicide Special, a Los Angeles Times bestseller. Kind of Blue, his first novel, was named one of Booklist's Top Ten First Crime Novels of 2010. His next book in the Ash Levine series, Midnight Alley, was released in April 2012. Corwin teaches literary journalism at the University of California, Irvine.
Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 11 KEVIN DAVIS http://www.kevinadavis.com/ The Brain Defense (Penguin Press, February 2017) Blending in-depth research and reporting with dramatic storytelling, this investigation of the role of neuroscience in the criminal justice system uses a landmark murder case to explore the implications of brain science in the determination of culpability and punishment. Thought-provoking and brilliantly crafted, The Brain Defense marries a murder mystery complete with colorful characters and courtroom drama with a sophisticated discussion of how our legal system has changed—and must continue to change—as we broaden our understanding of the human mind. KEY SELLING POINTS: • TRUE CRIME DOMINATING POPULAR CULTURE: Between HBO’S The Jinx, Netflix’s Making a Murderer, and Season One of the Serial podcast, true crime narratives—particularly murder mysteries—are in vogue as riveting and sophisticated entertainment. • IN-DEPTH LOOK AT LANDMARK CASE: The Brain Defense unpacks one provocative murder case over the course of the book, revealing the twists and turns of the investigation, legal hearings, and fallout. • TAPS INTO CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM DEBATE: Led by activists (and bestselling authors) like Bryan Stevenson and Michelle Alexander, a movement to reverse the trend of mass incarceration in our country is gaining steam. The Brain Defense argues for the sympathetic treatment of those whose crimes can be attributed to abuse or poverty experienced earlier in life. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kevin Davis is a Chicago-based journalist and author of Defending the Damned and The Wrong Man. His award-winning writing has appeared in USA Today, The Chicago Tribune, The Utne Reader, Chicago Magazine, The Rumpus, Writer’s Digest, and other publications; he is a former staff reporter for the Sun-Sentinel in South Florida and is an editor at the American Bar Association Journal
Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 12 GARY INBINDER http://garyinbinder.blogspot.com/ The Man Upon the Stair (Pegasus, February 2018) Chief Inspector Achille Lefebvre returns from a much-needed vacation to find that there are assassins on his tail, and, as if that weren’t enough, one of France’s wealthiest men has gone missing without a trace… Paris: September, 1890. Newly promoted Chief Inspector Achille Lefebvre attends the execution of the anarchist assassin, Moreau. Following the execution, outgoing Chief Féraud warns his protégé: "I've heard that some of Moreau's cronies have sworn revenge." Achille takes the warning in stride, but agrees precautions are warranted. “You don't want to get killed your first week as chief.” Achille barely has time to get accustomed to his new office when a baffling case crosses his desk. Baron de Livet, one of France’s wealthiest men, has gone missing while vacationing at the resort in Aix-Les-Bains. The case is complicated by the fact that Achille and his wife are acquainted with the baron, and the missing millionaire’s wife has come directly to Achille to enlist his aid in finding her husband. What begins as a routine investigation soon runs into complications, including a poisoned servant, a fortune in missing banknotes, and Russian spies. And Achille mustn’t forget those stalking anarchists who are out for his blood as he searches for the man who wasn’t there… The Hanged Man (Pegasus, August 2016) Like many fin de siècle Parisians, Inspector Achille Lefebvre is looking forward to a pleasant summer holiday at a seaside resort with his wife, Adele—but a body found hanging from a bridge in a public park interferes with the inspector's plans. Paris: July 1890. Inspector Achille Lefebvre and his wife Adele are enjoying their stay at a seaside resort—until a body found hanging from a bridge in a public park demands the Inspector's attention. Is it suicide or murder? A twisted trail of evidence draws Inspector Lefebvre into a shadowy underworld of international intrigue, espionage, and terrorism. Time is of the essence; pressure mounts on the Sureté to get results. Achille's chief orders him to work with his former partner, Inspector Rousseau, now in charge of a special unit in the newly formed political brigade. But can Achille trust the
Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 13 detective who let him down in another case? Inspector Lefebvre uses innovative forensics and a network of police spies to uncover a secret alliance, a scheme involving the sale of a cutting-edge high explosive, and an assassination plot that threatens to ignite a world war. REVIEWS FOR THE HANGED MAN: Inspector Achille Lefebvre, the chain-smoking, chess-playing hero of Gary Inbinder’s wonderfully atmospheric period policiere, The Hanged Man is, in 1890, fast becoming the most famous detective in Paris. “[W]hen you crack the case,” his chief tells Lefebvre, “it brings credit to the brigade, and along with that credit come the appropriations we need . . .” And that’s why, the boss explains, “you get the cases no one else wants.” For instance, his latest: the corpse of a man found dangling from the railing of a historic bridge. The dead man carries no identification, but pinned to his jacket is a note in Russian giving a Bible verse referring to Judas. “It could be suicide, homicide, even a macabre prank,” muses the inspector. “Mon Dieu, what a case.” A case every bit as baffling as the hero’s debut. Here’s hoping for another entry in this atmospheric series. – Kirkus “Inbinder weaves a wonderful tale and his plotting and pacing are right on the money. Indications are that this is the first in a series, I certainly hope so as I would love to read more adventures with Inspector Lefebvre.”—Crimespree Magazine “Inbinder's mystery debut shows Montmartre at its atmospheric best—inhabited by characters as diverse and devious as Paris can offer.”—Kirkus Reviews “Fin-de-siècle Paris comes brilliantly alive in The Devil in Montmartre. Gary Inbinder lays a plot as fascinating as the midnight streets of the Parisian Right Bank.”—Michael Wiley, Shamus Award-winning author of A Bad Night’s Sleep “Inbinder creates a whodunit that combines a killer plot with skillful characterization. Add Inbinder’s revelatory prose, and the reader comes away emotionally exhausted but exhilarated by the author’s first venture in the genre.”—The Richmond Times Dispatch ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Gary Inbinder is a retired attorney who left the practice of law to write full-time. His fiction, articles and essays have appeared in Bewildering Stories, Halfway Down the Stairs, The Absent Willow Review, Morpheus Tales, Touchstone Magazine and other publications. Gary is a member of The Historical Novel Society and Mystery Writers of America. He is also a member of the Bewildering Stories Editorial Review Board.

Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 14 GORDON MCALPINE http://gordonmcalpine.net/ Holmes Entangled: The Final Endeavor of Sherlock Holmes (Seventh Street Books, March 6 2018) A retired Sherlock Holmes, now in his seventies and disguised as a Cambridge professor, is dramatically disturbed one day when a modestly successful author in his late-sixties named Arthur Conan Doyle comes to call. This Conan Doyle, notable only for his historical romances, science fiction, and a three-volume history of the Boer War (but no detective tales), knows somehow of the false professor’s true identity. To Holmes’s surprise, he asks for help in solving a case that strains the limits of credulity by suggesting the existence of parallel worlds. Sherlock Holmes on one last adventure in 1920s’ London…employed by the author Arthur Conan Doyle? We might ask ourselves how such a thing can be possible. This tale is discovered in a long-forgotten manuscript in 1940s’ Buenos Aires. The librarian who finds it employs an Argentinian P.I. to help him grasp the deepest implications of the text. The story of the two Argentinians’ brief and ultimately violent encounter provides a hardboiled frame to the last endeavor of Sherlock Holmes. Key Selling Points: • Trade Paperback Original • McAlpine’s Woman With a Blue Pencil is a 2016 Edgar Award Nominee for Best paperback Original • McAlpine has become known for a signature ‘meta-mystery’ style Praise for Holmes Entangled “[A] crafted tale of mysterious encounters, elaborate disguises, spiritualism, séances, quantum mechanics, the tiniest hint of a love story, and parallel universes. From allusions to Edgar Allen Poe, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, and an encounter with Ernest Hemingway, McAlpine weaves a compact tale of mystery, betrayal, disappointment, and the figurative and literal reach of big brother. The result is a story both dilettante and devotee can enjoy.” -San Antonio Express-News
Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 15 “McAlpine’s new meta-detective novel looks to be the most post-modern take on Sherlock Holmes since Chabon’s The Final Solution. McAlpine’s work is perfect for those who enjoyed the Will Ferrell film Stranger Than Fiction, but wished it wasn’t a comedy.” -LitHub in its list of “Most Anticipated Crime, Mystery, and Thriller titles of 2018” “It’s to author McAlpine’s credit that he makes what might have been an arch exercise into a joy to read…. It’s a fascinating read, smart and entertaining for all that it’s based on those quantum mechanics. That’s right, it’s Holmes confronting alternate universes, and it’s wonderful.” -Booklist “[W]ill appeal to adventurous Holmes fans who enjoy more modern takes on a literary icon, such as James Lovegrove’s Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows.”-Library Journal “Readers curious about an elderly Sherlock Holmes who was never a Victorian gentleman may enjoy this offbeat pastiche…” -Publishers Weekly “It’s hard to create a thrilling narrative using an over-used character like Sherlock Holmes…unless you are Gordon McAlpine. The brilliance of the work done by McAlpine in this novel is that he has constructed a conventional mystery and yet has also included interesting elements from science and other genres…. Traditional mystery needs more authors like Gordon McAlpine: Authors who can take enduring characters and narratives, polish them and give them a new beautiful face. This is a highly recommended title.” -Mystery Tribune “Holmes Entangled is Gordon McAlpine at his best – a mind-bending feast of mystery and metafiction featuring one of literature’s most endearing and enduring characters. Highly recommended!” -Internet Review of Books “Unique, explosive, meta-physical and just plain awesome. Holmes like you’ve never imagined before. This will turn everyone’s mind inside out.” -Nikbooklovers’s Blog “I love this take on Holmes and on the nature of fiction and authorship. Holmes Entangled is a great book for readers who like to think of characters as having a real life of their own.” -A Bookish Type
Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 16 Woman with a Blue Pencil (Seventh Street Books, November 2015) Nominated for an Edgar Award What becomes of a character cut from a writer’s working manuscript? A merely metaphysical question for a critic or scholar -- but far more than that for the character himself! At the heart of Gordon McAlpine’s novel, Woman with a Blue Pencil is Sam Sumida, a first-generation, Japanese-American academic who’s been thrust into the role of amateur P.I when the L.A.P.D. largely ignores the investigation of his young wife’s murder. On the eve of the attack at Pearl Harbor, grief stricken by his wife’s loss and disoriented by his ill-prepared change of occupation, the worst is yet to come. Woman with a Blue Pencil is a powerful and fiercely imaginative mash-up of Raymond Chandler with Sax Rhomer, as orchestrated by Jorge Luis Borges. The novel is rich with high wire, literary gamesmanship that addresses not only the fanciful question of what might become of characters that are edited out of a narrative but also the attendant question of how the “editing” of our own identities shapes us all. Additionally, Woman With a Blue Pencil indicts the continually shifting sands of bigotry and hatred, a topic as much for our own times as for the historical period of the novel, all while providing the page-turning pleasures of an intriguing murder mystery and a femme fatale unlike any you’ve met before. Praise for Woman With a Blue Pencil “McAlpine’s creative talent is rare and this novel is an exceptional literary treat.” - Shelf Awareness STARRED review “A masterpiece of metafiction….I don’t know the last time I read a book that made me think that much AND had that good of an ending.” - MysteryPeople PICK OF THE MONTH “A masterly critique of the mystery novel…McAlpine’s greatest accomplishment is that the book works both as a conventional mystery story and as a deconstruction of the genre’s ideology: whichever strand readers latch on to, the parallel stories pack a brutal punch.” - Publishers Weekly BOXED, STARRED review “Woman with a Blue Pencil is a brilliantly structured labyrinth of a novel—something of an enigma wrapped in a mystery, postmodernist in its experimental bravado and yet satisfyingly well-grounded in the Los Angeles of its World War II era. Gordon McAlpine has imagined a totally unique work of ’mystery’ fiction—one that Kafka, Borges, and Nabokov, as well as Dashiell Hammett, would have appreciated.” —JOYCE CAROL OATES

A lifetime of poor decisions has led him on an endless tour of San Antonio dive bars, where between sets he resumes accruing women and drinking himself to the brink of disaster. Returning home to the Ozarks for the wedding of his twin brother, Jordan uncovers a dark vein in the Bayne family history: going back to the end of the Civil War, every generation of Bayne men have been twins—and one twin has always murdered their father. As old tensions resurface, Jordan searches out the surreal origins of his family and a way to escape the murder that is his inheritance. Following the brothers’ every move are a mysterious hill dweller and his grotesque partner, a duo that will stop at nothing to make sure the Baynes’ cursed legacy lives on.

Middleton’s ferocious debut has it all–sex, song, sadness, and a history as dark and twisted as the Ozark hollers that fill these pages.

Foreign Rights Guide / Spitzer Agency / 2018 Page 19 “A mesmerizing debut [. . .] There is a dark magic in Middleton’s prose that is impossible to resist.” –Jonathan Evison, author of The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving “Middleton’s lush writing creates an atmosphere both beauitful and horrific. A grand debut that pushes the limits of ‘Southern Gothic’ and delivers an engrossing story of family, love, and fate.” –Kathi Kirby, Powell’s Books “Middleton’s brilliant debut is a vivid, haunting page-turner in the American gothic tradition.” – Garth Stein, author of A Sudden Light “A slow burn [. . .] Before you know it you can’t put it down. A barbed meditation on fear, family, and the monstrousness of fate.” –Brian Evenson, author of Last Days “Reminiscent of the works of Larry Brown and Rick Bass; richly drawn, refreshing, and authentic [. . .] An innovative literary voice that I look forward to following for decades to come.” –Nickolas Butler, author of The Hearts of Men “From the get-go, Middleton grabs readers with an eerie dream about a violent death, a portent of things to come in his page-turning debut about a family’s curse. Generations of male Bayne twins are destined to be the catalysts in their fathers’ deaths. Jordan Bayne, a down-on-his-luck country and blues singer ever overshadowed by his famous entertainer father, makes the rounds of seedy clubs and bars in San Antonio before heading to the family home in the Ozarks for the wedding of his twin brother, Malcolm. Unbeknownst to the brothers, they’ve been watched for years by an ancient evil man and his nefarious henchman, who will make sure the boys’ father is killed on Malcolm’s celebratory day. While building up to the upcoming confrontation and underscoring the differences between the two brothers, Middleton takes readers back in time to earlier generations and other patriarchal disasters that caused family schisms, capturing different eras and characters and adding depth to the tale. The story takes a misstep when it gets mystical about the origin of the Bayne family’s affliction, which adds unnecessary confusion. Nonetheless, the book is elevated by Middleton’s prose, especially the rough and textured descriptions of the landscapes and environment.” – Publisher’s Weekly
