My August column ran this morning in the Chicago Sun-Times. It contains reviews of the following books:
George Pelecanos - The Night Gardener
Karin Slaughter - Triptych
James Rollins - Black Order
Ken Bruen - Calibre
P.J. Tracy - Snowblind
They all have something to recommend them, but the Pelecanos and Slaughter books were real standouts for me. Truly fine, powerful novels. Check 'em out!
