Jason Allison, THE KILLING YARDS

“Jason Allison’s debut crime novel, The Killing Yards, hits like a high-octane James Ellroy/Michael Mann cocktail. Allison’s sure hand guides us through a claustrophobic Gotham on the brink of massive change. Sin, corruption, bad choices—all the dirty, divine terrain is well-covered. The Killing Yards is blunt, forceful, and explosive. Get your top-shelf noir fix here.”—William Boyle, author of Saint of the Narrows Street and Heavy Sugar

Jason Allison is a native New Yorker who spent two decades with the NYPD, mostly as a detective. The Killing Yards is his first novel.

Michelle Maryk is the author of the speculative suspense novel, The Found Object Society (February ’26) and the forthcoming, tropigoth horror novel, Not Mother (October ’27) from Simon & Schuster/Gallery Books. She’s a graduate from Cornell and the Yale Writer’s Workshop. Her writing has appeared in Oprah Daily, Writer’s Digest, CrimeReads, People Magazine, and elsewhere. For the better part of twenty-five years, she’s been a successful voiceover, on-camera commercial, and comedic actor, and she is a dual Swedish and US citizen. Fun fact: Michelle starred in an atrocious horror movie alongside Oscar-winner, Cliff Robertson, called The13th Child. The movie was written by… Michelle’s dad.
