The Simon & Schuster flagship imprint is excited to share a preview of its upcoming summer fiction offerings. The four novels highlighted in this issue offer something for every reader—from the landmark 10th book in the Arkady Renko series by 2019's MWA Grand Master award recipient and a caper from a hilarious writer set against the Florida Everglades, to three best friends who create a wildly successful app to get back at their exes in acclaimed YA author Carolyn Mackler's adult debut, and a stunning novel that examines race, class, and privilege through the lens of a romantic entanglement that doesn't just ask "will they"... but, "should they?"
Keep reading for an exclusive Q&A with actual Florida man Dave Barry discussing his forthcoming novel Swamp Story with Shelf Awareness's Marilyn Dahl, previews of Martin Cruz Smith's Independence Square and Carolyn Mackler's The Wife App, and an early excerpt of Cecilia Rabess's highly anticipated debut, Everything's Fine.
