"A cinematic and propulsive thriller from the author of Six Days Of The Condor and American Sky. Bob Dylan once declared that 'Sex and politics and murder is the way to go if you want to get people's attention,' and listeners won't be able to turn off Shadows on Sidewalks, the new erotic thriller from James Grady. James Traven returns home to his small Montana town in autumn 2024 to care for his mother after a devastating fall. He quickly finds himself trapped in a life-threatening web of lies and lust. With the clock ticking, Traven must save the savvy and beautiful Lana LaBuff from almost-certain murder. Complicating things is her monstrous husband and the fact that their only ally is Cody, the mysterious former Marine who runs the local gun shop and regularly ghosts on ordinary life. Fresh and fast-paced, Shadow on Sidewalks takes us on a roller coaster ride through old age, racism, anger, sorrow, lust, and love. From the click of a cocked pistol to the distress signal—an 'S.O.S.'—emitted as James and Lana fight amidst a swirl of personal and political struggles, James Grady demonstrates his mastery of the noir form and shines a light on the modern condition."

American Sky: A Novel

"An atmospheric and dramatic novel set in mid-century Montana by the acclaimed author of Six Days of the Condor. 'Grady's style is loose, colorful, challenging and fun. I sometimes thought of Orwell’s novel 1984, sometimes of the Dylan song 'Desolation Row.''—Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post For the teenaged Luc, his days are preoccupied with the daily dramas of high school. President John F. Kennedy's assassination seems a world away. But the winds of history find its way to his small Montana town as marijuana clouds rise in the hallways and the notices of neighborhood young men of 'Killed in Action' in Vietnam keep arriving at an increasing rate. Acclaimed novelist James Grady's American Sky brings to life the world of a young man who is caught in the nexus of vast social change. From blue collar life in the heartland to Kent State and the Civil Rights movement, American Sky is a sweeping narrative that builds to a crime that threatens to tear Luc's world apart. Previous compared to Larry McMurty, George Orwell, Harper Lee and Bob Dylan, James Grady explores Bruce Springsteen's generation and has crafted a action filled and timeless destined to become a classic."

The Smoke in Our Eyes

"Set in 1959, the 'year the music died,' The Smoke in Our Eyes is a cinematic, clock-ticking saga set in a small Montana town. When a fatal car accident shatters ten-year-old Lucas's world, he finds himself confronting crime and vengeance, humor and heroism, all against the backdrop of growing up. Alongside the tightly written drama of Lucas and his family, Grady, author of the classic 'Condor' series, evokes a heady mood and sense of place. From the Space Race and the first warnings of global climate change, to the brutal racism of segregation and the hope of a new generation to move us forward, The Smoke in Our Eyes is a fresh rending of rural noir that captures both an intimate story and the volitility of mid-century America."
