S.J. Rozan
In S.J. Rozan's mystery, Ghost Hero (Minotaur, $25.99), The rumor of new paintings by Chau is shaking up the art world. There’s only one problem – Ghost Hero Chau has been dead for twenty years, killed in the 1989 Tianamen Square uprising. "Rozan again proves that the private detective novel thrives in the 21st century," says the Sun-Sentinel online. Rozan is also a contributor to New Jersey Noir (Akashic, $24.95), edited by Joyce Carol Oates. New Jersey Noir features 19 brand-new stories and poems by Oates, Robert Pinsky, Jonathan Safran Foer, Gerald Stern and many others. Launched with the award-winning best seller Brooklyn Noir, Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one capturing, in its own way, the feel of the city or region in which the anthology is set. Rozan is the editor of Akashic's anthology, Bronx Noir, and the author of twelve novels. Her work has won the Edgar, Shamus, Anthony, Nero, and Macavity awards for Best Novel and the Edgar for Best Short Story.
