Whitcoulls recommends Ben Sanders and Richard Grant

Exit.45 by our own Auckland writer Ben Sanders. His hero is a guy named Marshall Grade, and this is a ride through the NY underworld. Living safely here in Takapuna Auckland, I’m never sure how he manages to get his US cities down so well and all the thugs who inhabit them but he’s really good at it. When a former NYPD colleague is shot dead in front of him, private investigator Marshall Grade discovers there's far more to the killing than meets the eye.  The Deepest South of All by Richard Grant – he’s a travel writer and went to Natchez Mississippi to have a look at a town built on slavery and cotton, which it’s still trying to atone for all these many years later, but evidence of its history is found everywhere and it’s full of some of the most extraordinary characters you could wish to meet anywhere. Readers who loved Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which was a phenomenon many years ago, will love this. It’s also run through with the saddest story of e genuine African Prince who was caught up in the slave trade and found himself captive in Natchez for most of his life. He deserves a book of his own.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
