Author of The Wager, Killers of The Flower Moon, The Lost City of Z, The White Darkness, and The Devil and Sherlock Holmes. Also a longtime New Yorker writer.
As the NYTimes put it in a wonderful review of her new book Without Consent, @sarahweinman.com "is the rare true-crime writer who rises above the genre’s inherent voyeurism to interrogate our moral, cultural and legal failings." I just purchased my copy.
Today is the publication day for WITHOUT CONSENT, a book I am so proud to share with the world, and that the New York Times Book Review says "is years — decades — overdue."

It’s a great day for readers who love richly reported, rollicking history. Congrats to @jonathanmahler.bsky.social on his brilliant new book out today!
THE GODS OF NEW YORK is out Aug 12! It's a narrative history of NYC in the 80s, a sort of sequel to The Bronx Is Burning. It's the story of a cast of outsized figures (Koch, Sharpton, Trump, Rudy, Larry Kramer, Spike Lee and more) who turned the city into their own, grand stage.

There is so much to read but don’t miss this supremely well-researched and powerful new book by Haley Cohen Gilliland called “A Flower Traveled in My Blood.” Very grateful to have finally read it. This is an excellent review.
The Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo have spent decades looking for their grandchildren. Haley Cohen Gilliland's excellent new book, A FLOWER TRAVELED IN MY BLOOD, tells the extraordinary story of these grandmothers and connects it to larger questions about state violence, historical trauma and memory. 2/
