Hilary Davidson’s THE DAMAGE DONE (Forge, 2010) — called a “razor sharp mystery debut” by Publishers Weekly — won the 2011 Anthony Award for Best First Novel and the Crimespree Award for Best First Novel. The book was also a finalist for the Arthur Ellis and Macavity awards.

Hilary’s second novel, THE NEXT ONE TO FALL, was published by Forge on February 14, 2012. According to Publishers Weekly, “The rich history and geography of Peru add depth to an engrossing mystery that constantly keeps the reader guessing.” Library Journal adds, “Davidson's follow-up to her Anthony Award-winning debut will leave you breathless.” Read the reviews.
