THE TAILOR by Tim Sullivan and THE SHADOW STEP by Mark Billingham are some of the best books to read this summer, according to @BostonGlobe, and we agree!

This week! I’m so flattered. Thank you so much!
This was the first I’d heard of George. I have now read all 7 and am waiting impatiently for August. Brilliant cast of characters and compelling plots! (Yes, this week, couldn’t stop)
