"The body count is high and the action pretty much nonstop. . . A crackling good police procedural. . . Cosby delivers a fine climax. Then, in an epilogue, he serves up a final treat that's worth the whole trip. . . Fresh and exhilarating."
--New York Times Book Review, Stephen King

"S. A. Cosby's novels always hit the grand slam of crime fiction; unstoppable momentum, gripping intrigue and deep character with a hard and telling look at culture and society. I hesitate to call All The Sinners Bleed his masterpiece because he has many more books to write and they only get better and better. Cosby no doubt carries the mantle of Faulkner with him as he uses the crime story to show us where we are and how far we still need to go. Sheriff Titus Crown lives in these pages and your heart. He's a character for the ages."
--Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Desert Star

"Riveting. . . What elevates this book is how Cosby weaves politically charged salient issues -- race, religion, policing -- through the prism of a serial murder investigation and the perspective of one of the most memorable heroes in contemporary crime fiction. . . Deeply moving and memorable."
--Washington Post

"On the basis of four novels, each better than the last (and All the Sinners Bleed the best of them all), it's fairly easy to say that American crime fiction has found its future and his name is S.A. Cosby."
--Dennis Lehane, New York Times bestselling author of Small Mercies

"Cosby vaults his own high bar. . .His most deeply resonant, timely and timeless novel to date."
--Los Angeles Times

"Dark, wildly entertaining. . . All the Sinners Bleed is rough, smart, gritty, intricate, and Southern to the core."
--NPR, Gabino Iglesias

"Superb...A thoughtfully plotted, unflinching look at Cosby's familiar themes with precise character studies, crackling dialogue and the backdrop of a small town in Virginia."
--South Florida Sun Sentinel

"Compelling characters, dark plot twists, mordant humor and ruthless violence. . . He's a master of building a sense of creeping dread that explodes into hair-raising action. He's also deft at bringing complex characters to life, and at pointed humor. . . Riveting ride."
--Tampa Bay Times

"A rural, hair-raising crime story."
--The New York Times, 9 New Books Coming in June

"An atmospheric pressure cooker."
--People

"Breakneck noir crime thriller."
--TIME

"An excellent, gritty novel about how eventually, all sins must be reckoned with...The action is nonstop and Titus has real depth...Layered. Dark. True."
--Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author

"A bold, raw new voice in the thriller landscape. All the Sinners Bleed has a dark, raw, Southern gothic/noir feeling combined with a hard-edged look at the dark places in our past. Really enjoyed it."
--Kristin Hannah, #1 bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds

"A chilling, terrifying serial killer hunt."
--Philadelphia Inquirer

"A taut and riveting whodunit."
--Garden & Gun

"Superb...The hard-edged storytelling is supplemented by richly developed characters, especially Titus and his family, and Cosby elegantly layers his narrative over Virginia's racial history, giving the proceedings uncommon emotional depth. This is easily the author's strongest work to date."
--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Cosby's literary skills are exceptional. His characters feel so real, his dialogue is pitch-perfect, and the story...is of such moral complexity it wholly commands the reader's close attention. This is a crime novel to savor and ponder."
--Booklist, starred review

"At once a gripping character study and a darkly compelling example of Southern noir...All the Sinners Bleed is a nerve-jangling, thought-provoking, often heartbreaking read, but also one that reminds readers 'there was beauty in the world . . . if you knew where to look.'"
--BookPage, starred review

"Cosby, the multi-award-winning author of Blacktop Wasteland and Razorblade Tears, has a unique, powerful voice for social justice and racism. His compelling writing will have readers rooting for his latest unforgettable, flawed hero."
--Library Journal, starred review

"All The Sinners Bleed further cements S.A. Cosby's place as one of the most important new voices in crime fiction. Uncompromising, poignant and compelling, it seamlessly merges an action-packed mystery with thoughtful commentary on what it's like to live in America right now. I won't read a better book this year. Incredible."
--M. W. Craven, bestselling author of Fearless

"All The Sinners Bleed is another banger from S. A. Cosby. Titus Crown is one of the most compelling characters I've read in a long time."
--Steve Cavanagh, bestselling author of Thirteen

"Only S.A. Cosby could bring poetry to the darkness. A dark, disturbing and gripping masterpiece that reaches into the depths of your soul."
--Nadine Matheson, bestselling author of The Jigsaw Man

"With the release of All The Sinners Bleed, S. A. Cosby further cements the arrival of a great American author. Although the story is cleverly veiled as an engaging suspense/mystery, he manages to deftly examine issues of race, class and religion with impressive effectiveness. Loved the ride."
-- Eriq La Salle, Actor/Director/Producer and author of Laws of Wrath

"S. A. Cosby does Thomas Harris!! And proves that the serial killer novel is back with his cleverly plotted and socially relevant take on the hunt for a monstrous killer...A fast-paced book that will also have you asking deep questions about the nature of faith, All the Sinners Bleed is bound to be one of my favorite books of the year."
--Lithub

"S. A. Cosby is a proven master of crime fiction, and All the Sinners Bleed continues his hot streak....This socially conscious southern noir is about as violent and grizzly as novels get -- a heavy but necessary read for those sultry nights steeped in moonlight and moonshine where the ugly truth gets the justice and the reckoning it deserves."
--Vulture

"Cosby's growing body of work represents a muscular take on race relations in America. In All The Sinners Bleed, he again forces the reader to dwell on how prejudice lingers and shapes contemporary society, particularly in America's south. A powerful crime thriller that pulls no punches."
--Vaseem Khan, bestselling author of the Baby Ganesh Agency series and the Malabar series

"An uncompromising, blistering Southern Gothic with a compelling, beautifully drawn protagonist in Titus Crown. Cosby's writing sings."
--Mason Cross, author of the Carter Blake series

"A gripping cat-and-mouse game...Readers will cheer at Titus' brutal screeds against those who push him past the point of patience....Another provocative and page-turning entry in the Southern noir genre."
--Kirkus
