The novel was named one of the Best Books of 2019 by NPR and is currently in development as a TV series with NBC/Universal Television. His new novel, The Displacements, is "an adrenaline-fueled story of lives upended and transformed by an unprecedented catastrophe...A suspenseful read plotted on a vast national tapestry, The Displacements thrillingly explores what happens when privilege is lost and resilience is tested in a swiftly changing world."
