Originaire du sud-est de la Virginie, S. A. Cosby a grandi avec son frère dans une caravane. À cause de la pauvreté de sa famille, il n'a pas pu suivre d'études mais n'a eu de cesse de lire et de s'instruire par lui-même. Il considère d'ailleurs que la littérature l'a « sauvé ». En 2019, S. A. Cosby publie sa première nouvelle à succès, Brotherhood of the Blade, qui remporte un Anthony Awards. Il enchaîne avec son premier roman, Les Routes oubliées, qui se voit couronné de nombreux prix, dont le Los Angeles Times Book Prize en 2020 ot l'Anthony Awards en 2021. Son deuxième roman, La Colère, est également salué par la critique et les droits cinématographiques ont été immédiatement achetés par l'équipe de Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates des Caraïbes, Bad Boys, Les Experts). S. A. Cosby vit aujourd'hui à Gloucester, en Virginie."Le Sud n'a pas changé. Ce constat, Titus Crown y est confronté au quotidien. Ancien agent du FBI, il est le premier shérif noir à avoir été élu à Charon, la terre de son enfance. Si son élection a fait la fierté de son père, elle a surtout provoqué la colère des Blancs, qui ne supportent pas de le voir endosser l'uniforme, et la défiance des Noirs, qui le croient à la solde de l'oppresseur. Bravant les critiques, Titus tente de faire régner la loi dans un comté rural frappé par la crise des opioïdes et les tensions raciales. Jusqu'au jour où Latrell, un jeune Noir, tire sur M. Spearman, le prof préféré du lycée, avant de se faire abattre par la police. Fanatisme terroriste, crient les uns. Énième bavure policière, ripostent les autres. À mesure que les dissensions s'exacerbent, Titus se retrouve lancé dans une course contre la montre pour découvrir la vérité." (Présentation des éditions Sonatine)

Sleepless City: A Nick Ryan Novel by Reed Farrel Coleman https://amzn.to/449r4Bl “A tour-de-force! The pace is relentless, the plot smart, his new lead character, Nick Ryan, is a hero for the times…Reed is a brilliant storyteller.” --Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author When you're in trouble, you call 911. When cops are in trouble, they call Nick Ryan. Every cop in the city knows his name, but no one says it out loud. In fact, they don't talk about him at all. He doesn't wear a uniform, but he is the most powerful cop in New York. Nick Ryan can find a criminal who's vanished. Or he can make a key witness disappear. He has cars, safe houses, money, and weapons hidden all over the city. He's the mayor's private cop, the fixer, the first call when the men and women who protect and serve are in trouble and need protection themselves. With conflicted loyalties and a divided soul, he's a veteran cop still fighting his own private war. He's a soldier of the streets with his own personal code. But what happens when the man who knows all the city's secrets becomes a threat to both sides of the law?
