No Stone Left Unturned

Penguin Modern Classics

Onizuka Kumako is a fierce woman: tall, beautiful, and not afraid to speak her mind. In Tokyo bars, she seduces customers and commits petty crime, using her connections to the local yakuza to get by. When she meets Shirakawa Fukutaro, a rich widower desperate for companionship and unaware of her shady past, the two hit it off and are soon married. But their newlywed bliss is suddenly cut short: one rainy July evening, their car veers off course, plunges into the harbour and Fukutaro is pulled beneath the waves. Suspected of murder and labelled a femme fatale, Kumako is hounded by the press, but stays firm, repeatedly proclaiming her own innocence. As pressure from dogged journalists mounts, the tide of public opinion is rising against her. But when a scrupulous defence lawyer takes on her case, doubt begins to creep in . . . In this intricate, psychological noir, masterfully translated into English for the first time, Seicho Matsumoto draws out the hidden demons that guide our convictions, our biases and our deepest desires.

Suspicion

This haunting Western story features a man brought back from the dead to exact revenge upon those who have wronged him, only to&nbsp;discover that the world is capable of good—for readers of Charles Portis, Elmore Leonard, and Annie Proulx It’s winter 1935 in the mountains of Montana. It’s coming on dusk and an old prospector finds himself staring down the barrel of a large pistol wielded by a bleeding, bedraggled corpse of a man standing in a freshly undug grave. The man is one Benjamin Kilt, left bludgeoned and buried alive by his bank robbing partner/half-brother, Bosco, and it is the prospector’s ill timed (for him) timely (for Kilt) arrival on the scene that sets in motion this classic western tale of revenge.&nbsp; Kilt will be joined in his journey to find and reap revenge on Bosco by Bonnie, a thirteen-year-old Native American girl he somewhat reluctantly rescues from her abusive “keeper.” It is Bonnie’s recollections in old age of their brief time together that provide the reader entre into Kilt’s life: from the child left orphaned by a suicidal mother in a midwestern brothel to the philosophical bank robber found near death in the snowy mountain wilds of Montana. And it is through the filter of Bonnie’s gaze that we watch as the thornier threads and deeper themes of Dane Bahr’s masterful tale unwind, leading to a showdown between the brothers at the very ranch where they were raised. The Dead Ringer explores the slippery distinction between justice and revenge, and the moral dilemma of the justification of questionable deeds done for honorable ends. It tackles these thorny themes with the moving prose, memorable characters, propulsive plot, and evocative sense of place that have defined Bahr’s genre-bending novels from the first.

A Novel

The Dead Ringer

Two lovers plot a daring heist in this atmospheric noir about fate and fortune on the fringes of the American dream.
Post-war Riverton has little to offer Richard, a mild-mannered loner working a dead-end job at Eddy &amp; Dowd Safe Deposit Company. When he meets Marlon, a smooth-talking confidence man, Richard finds his partner in crime. Passions ignite between the men, and together, they hatch a plan to rob the vault at Eddy &amp; Dowd-a once-in-a-lifetime score that will fund their escape to the Big City, where they can live and love as they desire.
Their plans are complicated by Gloria, a recent divorcée scheming her own route to wealth; Frank Todd, a disgraced ex-cop desperate to restore his reputation; and the paranoid Mr. Dowd, a tycoon scrambling to hold onto his crumbling empire. As Richard and Marlon race towards their destiny, reckless violence threatens both their plans and their devotion to each other.
Inspired by the iconic lexicon and unsparing storytelling of Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith, The Longest Death weaves a twisted morality tale about what it means to love someone at any cost.

Mick Hardin Novels

Master storyteller Chris Offutt’s acclaimed crime series has been praised by Ian Rankin as “righteous Kentucky noir with top notes of Daniel Woodrell and S. A. Cosby,” and in this breakneck new novel, sheriff Mick Hardin navigates the treacherous terrain of a town’s festering secrets and the violent forces who want to keep them hidden

Lauded as a “masterclass in the craft of crime fiction” (CrimeReads), Chris Offutt’s beloved and critically acclaimed Mick Hardin series is an atmospheric, tightly crafted testament to Southern noir. The Reluctant Sheriff is a dark, bracing return to the hills of eastern Kentucky where secrets roil beneath the surface, and nothing and no one stays in the past for long.

Mick Hardin never wanted to be sheriff. An ex-Army CID officer, he’s supposed to be retired—or he was until his sister, Linda, was shot in the line of duty, requiring him to step in as interim sheriff while she recovered. Now he’s stuck in Rocksalt, the place he was most hoping to escape.

Back in uniform, Mick is chafing at the sudden dissolution of his retirement plans, wearied by the petty squabbles of Rocksalt’s townsfolk. It’s all business as usual, until the murder of a local bar owner draws an unlikely suspect who threatens to fan the flames of Mick’s past. When two more bodies turn up, seemingly unconnected to the first, Mick is forced to reckon with the mysterious circumstances of a case not so open-and-shut as everyone believes. Meanwhile, Linda is slowly healing when a familiar business tycoon with a vested interest in her returning as sheriff makes it difficult for her to remain on the sidelines.

Unflinching and devilishly compulsive, The Reluctant Sheriff is an explosive thriller confirming Chris Offutt as a Southern writer of muscular prose and unrivaled talent.
