“Alibi is a thriller with a slide-rule perfect plot… Wholly engrossing and one of the finest thrillers you will read this year — up there with the classics of the genre.”- The Daily Telegraph (London)
“Once again, Kanon has written a novel set against the backdrops of World War II that is evocative and sensitive, moody and thought provoking.” — Arizona Daily Star
“Kanon juxtaposes a powerful love story and a gripping thriller against a palpable historical moment… The novel holds us completely, with its vision of a sadly inadequate hero striking deep at our fears about ourselves.”- Booklist
“Kanon offers such vivid sensory detail that a reader emerges as steeped in atmospherics as a seasoned diplomat with a passport full of visa stamps. You feel initiated, as if you’ve been let in on some dark and well-kept secrets from some of the twentieth century’s most pivotal moments… In Kanon’s eclectic cast of policemen, soldiers, revolutionaries, and ex-pat socialites, no one is spared the deep, dark smudges offered by war and its aftermath.” — Baltimore Sun
“If you want to explore life, love, death, beauty, and moral confusion, you won’t do much better than this.” — San Jose Mercury News
The Prodigal Spy
“An edgy spy thriller… [and] a tale of love-between father and son, man and woman-set against a foreboding background that is poignant and imminently believable.” — The Denver Post
“Compelling… intriguing… reads beautifully and convinces utterly.” — The Wall Street Journal
Los Alamos
“Powerful… Compelling… [Kanon] pulls the reader into a historical drama of excitement and high moral seriousness.” — The New York Times
“A well-plotted novel that effortlessly dissolves real people and events into an elegant and moving thriller.” — San Francisco Chronicle

About Atria Books
Atria Books was launched in April 2002 by publisher Judith Curr as a new hardcover and paperback imprint within Simon amp; Schuster, Inc. The name Atria (the plural of atrium — a central living space open to the air and sky) reflects our goals as publishers: to create an environment that is always open to new ideas and where our authors and their books can flourish. We look for innovative ways to connect writers and readers, integrating the best practices of traditional publishing with the latest innovations in the digital world. We are committed to publishing a wide range of fiction and nonfiction for readers of all tastes and interests.
The first book published under the Atria name, The Right Words at the Right Time by Marlo Thomas, became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller, and since then Atria has gone on to publish more than 185 New York Times bestsellers. Atria is the publishing home to many major bestselling authors including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Jude Deveraux, Vince Flynn, T.D. Jakes, Shirley MacLaine, Kate Morton, Jodi Picoult, Sister Souljah, Brad Thor, Jennifer Weiner, Lauren Weisberger, Zane, and Rhonda Byrne, author of the international bestsellers The Secret and The Power.
In recent years, the imprint has placed a strategic emphasis on publishing for diverse audiences through the acquisition of the African American-oriented press Strebor Books, the launch of Atria Books Espanol, and co-publishing agreements with Beyond Words Publishers and Cash Money Records. Atria Books also publishes literary fiction and topical nonfiction in trade paperback under the Washington Square Press imprint, and popular fiction and nonfiction under the Emily Bestler Books imprint, launched in 2011.
