Summary
Caesura Texas - une minuscule bourgade clôturée, au fin fond du désert. Population ? 48 habitants. Des criminels, a priori. Ou des témoins. Comment savoir ? Tous ces gens ont changé d'identité, et leur mémoire a été effacée. Pour leur bien. Dans l'optique d'un nouveau départ. En échange de l'amnistie, les résidents doivent accepter trois règles simples : aucun contact avec l'extérieur, aucun visiteur, et aucun retour possible en cas de départ. Une expérience unique, menée par un mystérieux institut. Pendant huit ans, tout ce petit monde est resté à peu près en place. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Errol Colfax, en effet, s'est suicidé... avec une arme qu’il n’aurait jamais dû posséder. Puis Hubert Humphrey Gable est assassiné. Calvin Cooper, le shérif local, est contraint de mener l'enquête. Ce faisant, il risque de déterrer des secrets que la plupart des habitants - y compris lui-même - auraient préféré voir rester enfouis. Trop tard pour faire marche arrière. Bientôt, un irrépressible déferlement de violence va s'abattre sur les rues poussiéreuses de Caesura... Férocement drôle, comiquement féroce, Population : 48 - le troisième roman d’Adam Sternbergh - est aussi un redoutable page-turner où, quelque part entre Tarantino et La Quatrième Dimension, aucun personnage n'est vraiment ce qu'il paraît être.

The Blinds
Summary
For fans of Cormac McCarthy, Jim Thompson, the Coen Brothers, and Lost Imagine a place populated by criminals - people plucked from their lives, with their memories altered, who've been granted new identities and a second chance. Welcome to The Blinds, a dusty town in rural Texas populated by misfits who don't know if they've perpetrated a crime or just witnessed one. What's clear to them is that if they leave, they will end up dead. For eight years Sheriff Calvin Cooper has kept an uneasy peace - but after a suicide and a murder in quick succession, the town's residents revolt. Cooper has his own secrets to protect, so when his new deputy starts digging, he needs to keep one step ahead of her - and the mysterious outsiders who threaten to tear the whole place down. The more he learns, the more the hard truth is revealed: The Blinds is no sleepy hideaway. It's simmering with violence and deception, aching heartbreak, and dark betrayals.

Shovel Ready
Summary
The futuristic hardboiled noir that Lauren Beukes calls "sharp as a paper-cut" about a garbage man turned kill-for-hire. Spademan used to be a garbage man. That was before the dirty bomb hit Times Square, before his wife was killed, and before the city became a blown-out shell of its former self. Now he's a hitman. In a near-future New York City split between those who are wealthy enough to "tap in" to a sophisticated virtual reality, and those who are left to fend for themselves in the ravaged streets, Spademan chose the streets. When his latest client hires him to kill the daughter of a powerful evangelist, he must navigate between these two worlds - the wasteland reality and the slick fantasy - to finish his job, clear his conscience, and make sure he's not the one who winds up in the ground.
