White Night in NYT’s top 5!
Jim’s books continue to grow in popularity! WHITE NIGHT is currently #4 in Hardcover Fiction on Publishers Weekly and #5 on the New York Times Bestseller list, as well as #17 on USA Today.

Chauncy adjusted his wire-frame spectacles. “Your reasoning would seem to be sound.”
