Winner of the National Book Award for FictionWinner of the Morning News Tournament of Books"A brilliant romp of a novel&hellip;McBride&hellip;pulls off his portrait masterfully, like a modern-day Mark Twain." &mdash;The New York Times Book Review"You may know the story of John Brown's unsuccessful raid on Harpers Ferry, but author James McBride's retelling of the events leading up to it is so imaginative, you'll race to the finish." &mdash;NPR"A boisterous, highly entertaining, altogether original novel ...There is something deeply humane in this [story], something akin to the work of Homer or Mark Twain.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post&#160;&ldquo;Wildly entertaining&hellip; a rollicking saga about one of America&rsquo;s earliest abolitionists.&rdquo; &mdash;People&#160;"McBride delivers another tour de force...A fascinating mix of history and mystery." &mdash;Essence"A story that's difficult to put down." &mdash;Ebony&ldquo;Outrageously entertaining&hellip; rockets toward its inevitable and, yes, knee-slapping conclusion. Never has mayhem been this much of a humdinger.&rdquo; &mdash;USA Today&ldquo;An impressively deep comedy.&rdquo;&mdash;Salon&#160;&ldquo;Both breezy and sharp, a rare combination outside of Twain. You should absolutely read it.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Magazine"Superbly written....McBride...transcends history and makes it come alive." &mdash;The Chicago Tribune"Absorbing and darkly funny." &mdash;San Francisco Chronicle"An irrepressibly fun read." &mdash;The Seattle Times"The Good Lord Bird&#160;is just so brilliant. It had everything I want in a novel and left me feeling both transported and transformed." &mdash;John Green&#160;"[McBride's] effervescent young narrator is pitch-perfect and wholly original." &mdash;Geraldine Brooks

&ldquo;Epstein presents Marlowe as supremely capable, something of a trickster, a consummate liar, a fiendish lover &ndash; and someone capable of murder . . . The suspense is palpable, as is the sense of doom, as Marlowe finds himself in thrall to a devil&rsquo;s bargain.&rdquo; --The New York Times Book Review"Allison Epstein pens a vivid, unforgettable hero in Kit Marlowe, Elizabethan playwright-turned-spy always sprinting one step ahead of disaster and talking a blue streak as he does so. Recruited by Elizabeth I's spymaster to infiltrate the cabal of Mary Queen of Scots, Kit finds his conscience tested to the limit even as his heart yearns for an unattainable beloved. A Tip for the Hangman is simultaneously moving, unsettling, hilarious, and tragic--a debut that will linger long after the last page is turned."--Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network"[Epstein's] fizzy debut is a Tudor espionage tale, set among spies close to Mary, Queen of Scots. One of them is Christopher Marlowe, whose spy work bankrolls a rather promising theater career. It&rsquo;s more of a clever Netflix binge than a Hilary Mantel historical masterpiece &mdash; and that&rsquo;s perfectly fine."--The Chicago Tribune, 25 Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2021"In Epstein&rsquo;s fun, irreverent debut, [Christopher Marlowe] takes center stage in a spy thriller. The real Marlowe&rsquo;s plays were incredibly popular in his time, due to his use of exciting plot twists and lots of murder. Epstein presents Marlowe&rsquo;s story here as the playwright may have told it himself: full of adventure, fun . . . and murder."--BookRiot"Epstein&rsquo;s debut is a clever concoction of genres, with a generous helping of historical fiction, espionage, class critique, and theatrical flair. . . Epstein vividly conjures up the world of Elizabethan theater, building off details of the scene&rsquo;s wild history, and adds on top a genuinely compelling spy story, creating an exuberant, irreverent romp through literary history.--Crime Reads&ldquo;A Tip for the Hangman draws you into a morally convoluted world of spies, treason, politics, romance and murder. With a witty, captivating protagonist and fast-paced adventure, it&rsquo;s the sort of book you should never pick up before bedtime lest you look out the window to see the sun rising. This is easily one of 2021&rsquo;s best historical fiction books to date."--The Michigan Daily"Stunning. With wit and humor, Epstein expertly weaves in authentic social, political and religious details, creating a compelling and evocative story that soars. Fans of thrilling historical fiction will be highly engaged by this fast-paced read."--Susanna Calkins, author of the award-winning Lucy Campion historical mysteries"Debut author Allison Epstein delivers an absolute tour de force. This masterfully researched, beautifully written novel takes the reader inside the spy networks, taverns, theatres, and halls of power of Tudor England, with the irreverent Christopher Marlowe as our guide. Epstein is a talent to watch!" --Alyssa Palombo, author of The Borgia Confessions "Allison Epstein's imaginative take on Christopher Marlowe is virtuoso on many levels. Her London is perfectly rendered in all its pungence and pageantry. But the double-crossing, the moral ambiguity, and the bloodlust all give fresh legs to a literary mystery that has as much Philip as Kit Marlowe in it."--Lee Irby, author of Unreliable"Epstein&rsquo;s diverting debut gallivants through Elizabethan England . . .&#160;a fun escapade."--Publishers Weekly&ldquo;[T]hrilling and romantic . . . Epstein successfully evokes both the beauty and the brutality of 16th-century England.&rdquo;--Historical Novel Society"Exceptional, highly entertaining. . .&#160;this wonderful debut novel is solid escapism at its best."--Lansing State Journal&ldquo;Anyone who likes Elizabethan bad boys, theater, spies, high intrigue, suspense, and sex is going to be delighted by A Tip for the Hangman. The writing goes down like a pint of good ale on a hot day and the characters are excellent company to enjoy it with. Christopher Marlowe himself would have loved it. I certainly did." --Delia Sherman, author of The Porcelain Dove "The Christopher Marlowe book we&rsquo;ve been waiting for! Here is the sexy, witty, self-destructive genius who can&rsquo;t stay out of trouble, blazing through an Elizabethan period that comes vividly to life in Epstein's well-researched novel. Epstein's sentences shine, with nothing fussy or &lsquo;Ye Olde&rsquo; about them. More than once I was stopped dead by a sentence that nailed me in my tracks with its insight and clarity.&rdquo;--Ellen Kushner, author of Swordspoint"A historical thriller filled with spies, royal secrets, and deadly intrigue."--The Young Folks
