Betrayal is a tense and timely imagining
of the casualties of recession-era Wall Street
gaming and the backroom global oil wars,
a riveting, compulsive read that will grip you
from first page to last. It also places Lee Vance
on the level of today’s best and best-selling
thriller writers—Richard North Patterson,
Christopher Reich—who not only thrill us but
make us think.

From the publisher, Alfred A. Knopf

I Curse the River of Time is an honest,
heartbreaking yet humorous portrayal
of a complicated mother-son relationship
told in Per Petterson’s precise and
beautiful prose.\
From the publisher


The Washington Post – Louis Bayard
The Imperfectionists is about what happens
when professionals realize that their craft
no longer has meaning in the world’s eyes…
and that the only people who really understand
them are on the same foundering ship, and that,
come to think of it, they really loved that damn
ship for all it made their lives hell…
Rachman is a fine observer and a funny writer—
and a writer who knows how to be funny in
character.

“A delightful new setting—
London-a wonderful new
cast of characters and one
incredibly clever dog.”
-From the publisher, Pantheon Books

“Read this gripping,
can’t-put-it-down thriller.
O’Dell could be Reacher’s
long lost twin.” -LEE CHILD
Praise of Margaret Atwood:
“There’s heartbreak, there’s joy,
there are parts where you cry-
and it’s very high quality writing.”
