Lethal WhiteA Cormoran Strike NovelRobert Galbraith

Description"Rowling's wizardry as a writer is on fulsome display" (USA Today) in this#1 New York Times bestseller. Lethal White is the fourth book in the CormoranStrike series from the international bestselling author Robert Galbraith."I seen a kid killed...He strangled it, up by the horse."When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike's office toask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is leftdeeply unsettled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed, and cannot remembermany concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. Butbefore Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic.Trying to get to the bottom of Billy's story, Strike and Robin Ellacott-once hisassistant, now a partner in the agency-set off on a twisting trail that leads themthrough the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament,and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside.And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike's own life is far from straightforward:his newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind thescenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is morefraught than it ever has been-Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, buttheir personal relationship is much, much trickier than that.The most epic Robert Galbraith novel yet, Lethal White is both a gripping mysteryand a page-turning next instalment in the ongoing story of Cormoran Strike andRobin Ellacott.

AuthorRobert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, bestselling author of the HarryPotter series and The Casual Vacancy. Lethal White is the fourth book in the highlyacclaimed Cormoran Strike crime fiction series. The Cuckoo's Calling was publishedin 2013, The Silkworm in 2014, and Career of Evil in 2015.

Reviews"Rowling's wizardry as a writer is on fulsome display in Lethal White (3.5/4 stars), a behemoth of a novel that flies by in a flash. This is a crime seriesdeeply rooted in the real world, where brutality and ugliness are leavened by the oh-so-human flaws and virtues of Galbraith's irresistible hero and heroine."—USAToday

—

"At times you might feel as you did when reading the Harry Potter books, particularlylater in the series, when they got longer and looser. You love the plot, and you lovebeing in the company of the characters, and you admire the author's voice andinsights and ingenuity, and you relish the chance to relax into a book without feelingrushed or puzzled or shortchanged.... Long live the fertile imagination andprodigious output of J.K. Rowling."—The New York Times

—

"If you love the intricate, character-driven mysteries written by Tana French andKate Atkinson, then chances are good that you'll enjoy the ones by RobertGalbraith. . . . Robert Galbraith knows how to tell a story every bit as deftly as doesJ.K. Rowling. Cormoran Strike, who lost a leg in Afghanistan, may limp painfullythrough much of the book, but the tale being told never misses a step."—JoyceSáenz Harris, Dallas Morning News

"Even if the world is the seedy underbelly of contemporary London and not MagicalHogwarts, cracking the cover of a Galbraith novel is like stepping through a portal.You're immersed all at once."—Bustle

"Addictive, murderous fun."—Vox

"Compulsively readable."—People—

The Reckoning: A Novel

John Grisham

Description#1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham’s newest thriller is asouthern gothic epic for the 21st century.

Pete Banning was Clanton, Mississippi’s favorite son—a decorated World War IIhero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithfulmember of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning he rose early,drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed his pastor andfriend, the Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder weren’t shocking enough, it waseven more baffling that Pete’s only statement about it—to the sheriff, to his lawyers,to the judge, to the jury, and to his family—was: “I have nothing to say.” He was notafraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave.

In a major novel unlike anything he has written before, John Grisham takes us onan incredible journey, from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippinesduring World War II; from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the Clantoncourtroom where Pete’s defense attorney tries desperately to save him.

Reminiscent of the finest tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling, The Reckoningwould not be complete without Grisham’s signature layers of legal suspense, and hedelivers on every page.

Story Locale: Clanton, Mississippi

Publication History: Doubleday HC (10/18)

AuthorJohn Grisham is the author of thirty-one novels, one work of nonfiction, a collectionof stories, and six novels for young readers.Author Residence: Charlottesville, VAAuthor Hometown: Jonesboro, AR

Reviews“A murder mystery, a courtroom drama, a family saga… The Reckoning isGrisham’s argument that he’s not just a boilerplate thriller writer. Most jurors willthink the counselor has made his case.”—USA Today “The quest for justice is only the beginning in this Southern family saga…. [Grisham]does so much more this time around.”—Akron Beacon Journal“John Grisham is not only the master of suspense but also an acute observer of thehuman condition. And these remarkable skills converge in The Reckoning—anoriginal, gripping, penetrating novel that may be his greatest work yet.”—DavidGrann, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon “John Grisham is the master of legal fiction, and his latest starts with a literal bang—and then travels backward through the horrors of war to explore what makes a hero,what makes a villain, and how thin the line between the two might be.”—JodiPicoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Spark of Light and SmallGreat Things“In this saga of love and war, John Grisham has given us a sprawling andengrossing story about a southern family, a global conflict, and the kinds of secretsthat can shape all of us. From the courtrooms and jails of rural Mississippi to thewar-torn Pacific, Grisham spins a tale that is at once entertaining and illuminating.”—Jon Meacham, New York Times bestselling author of The Soul of America

“When a master of storytelling and suspense takes on one of the most wrenchingstories in history, the result is a book that will break your heart, set your bloodpumping and your mind racing, and leave you gasping for breath by the final page.I’m still trying to recover from The Reckoning.”—Candice Millard, New YorkTimes bestselling author of The River of Doubt and Destiny of the Republic

His determination to erase any clue that could put him on death row brings him toTucson, Arizona, intent on finding a document he believes is in the possession ofCarlo Di Forenza, ex-priest, retired professor, and husband of Brigid Quinn.Beaufort's odd behaviour immediately sets off alarms for Brigid, who assumes he isafter her for something she did while in the FBI. Brigid's quest to find out what he isafter takes her to Florida--only to discover the truth too late to stop Beaufort takingher beloved gentle husband hostage. A high-stakes, incredibly tense stand-offensues, as Brigid takes extreme measures to return and, she hopes, neutralizeBeaufort before he kills Carlo--and without ending up dead herself.

Woven into the suspensful plot is Beaufort's own voice, unforgettably unfolding astory of tragedy and evil that imagines a story-behind-the story of the horrificmurders that inspired In Cold Blood, a book and a case that continues to fascinatemore than fifty years after the event.

DescriptionNATIONAL BESTSELLER

A PEN/HEMINGWAY AWARD FINALIST

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: THE NEWYORKER • ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY • VULTURE • VOGUE • LIT HUB

“A miracle of literary serendipity, a triumph.” —The Washington Post

A young medic returns from deployment in Iraq to two things: the woman he loves,and the opioid crisis sweeping across the Midwest. Soon deep in the thrall of heroinaddiction, he arrives at what seems like the only logical solution: robbing banks.Written by a singularly talented, wildly imaginative debut novelist, Cherry is abracingly funny and unexpectedly tender work of fiction straight from the dark heartof America.

“The first great novel of the opioid epidemic.” —Vulture

“A buzzsaw of a novel. . . . Bracingly original.” —The Wall Street Journal “Cherry is a profane, raw, and harrowingly timely account of the effects of war andthe perils of addiction.” —Entertainment Weekly

“A raw coming-of-age story in reverse. . . . Cherry touches on some of the darkestchapters of recent American history.” —The New York Times “Aptly compared to Jesus’ Son and Reservoir Dogs, [Cherry] is a devastatingexample of art imitating life.” —Esquire

AuthorNICO WALKER is originally from Cleveland. He served as a medic on more than250 missions in Iraq. Currently he has two more years of an eleven-year sentencefor bank robbery. Cherry is his debut novel.NICO WALKER is originally from Cleveland. Cherry is his debut novel.Author Residence: Ashland, KentuckyAuthor Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio

Reviews“[Walker’s] language, relentlessly profane but never angry, simmers at thelevel of morose disappointment, something like Holden Caulfield Goes to War. . . .His prose echoes Ernest Hemingway’s cadences to powerful effect. . . . Cherry iswritten without an ounce of self-pity by an author allergic to the meretricious poetryof despair. In these propulsive pages, Walker draws us right into the mind of anordinary young man beset by his own and his country’s demons. In the end, his onlyweapon against disintegration is his own devastating candor.” —The WashingtonPost“The rare work of literary fiction by a young American that carries with it nothing ofthe scent of an MFA program. . . . The voice Walker has fashioned has a lot incommon with the one Denis Johnson conjured for his masterpiece Jesus’ Son. . . . Anovel of searing beauty.” —Vulture“A singular portrait of the opioid epidemic. . . . [Walker] writes dialogue so musicaland realistic you’ll hear it in the air around you.” —The New York Times BookReview“[An] unforgettable mix of doomed and dazzling. . . . There’s a vivid, repulsive truthin the way Walker renders his subjects—a sort of social truth, stripped of morality,which is rare and riveting when it comes to the subjects of opioid addiction, intimateeveryday cruelty, and endless, meaningless war.” —The New Yorker“Walker tells the story in a biting staccato, by turns shrewd, heartfelt, and repellent. .. . Cherry's descriptions of Army life are as acerbic and unsparing—and often darklyhilarious—as the boot-camp scenes from Full Metal Jacket .” —Mother Jones“Heavily indebted to the profane blood, guts, bullets, and opiate-strewn absurditiesdreamed up by Thomas McGuane, Larry Brown, and Barry Hannah, Cherry tells astory that feels infinitely more real, and undeniably tougher than the rest.” —TheA.V. Club"A funny, painful, and captivating work in which mundanity and horror (of war, ofaddiction, of depression) exist side by side." —LitHub “With an unforgettable voice, the narrator relates his hellacious military service inIraq, PTSD, and descent into addiction with desperation and propulsive intensity,sustained by a dark humor and associative structure evocative of JosephHeller’s Catch-22.” —The National Book Review“Unsparingly raw and utterly gripping. This is an astonishingly good novel, written bysomeone who clearly has a gift for storytelling. Walker’s characters, even minorplayers and walk-ons, are beautifully drawn. His dialogue rings achingly true. . . . Amasterpiece.” —Booklist (starred review)

The Ditch: A Novel

Herman Koch

DescriptionThe bracing and inventive new novel of suspicions and secrecy fromHerman Koch, the New York Times bestselling author of The Dinner

When Robert Walter, popular mayor of Amsterdam, sees his wife toss her headback with laughter while chatting to one of his aldermen at a New Year's reception,he immediately suspects the worst. Despite their long and happy marriage, Robert isconvinced that Sylvia is cheating on him--with the respectable alderman who isdedicated to the environment, no less. The man who wants to spoil the capital'sskyline with wind turbines.

The New Year's reception marks the end of the "happy family" era that the mayorhas enjoyed for so long. His wife and their daughter, Diana, however, are not awareof his suspicions and carry on as usual. Robert starts spending a lot of time andenergy "behaving normally." Naturally, his normal behavior is far more suspicious.Normally Robert's not really present when he's at home--he's preoccupied with hisphone, the newspapers, and his own thoughts. But now Robert is so sure he'll missthe clues if he doesn't pay attention that he starts to be almost alarmingly attentiveand interested--ultimately losing himself in increasingly panicked and paranoid trainsof thought.

Written with Herman Koch's trademark originality, playfulness, and edge, The Ditchis a wildly clever--and guttingly familiar--story of a man whose sadistic skill forundermining himself and his marriage comes to cost him nearly everything.

AuthorHERMAN KOCH is the author of seven novels and three collections of short stories.The Dinner, his sixth novel, has been published in more than 50 countries and wasthe winner of the Publieksprijs Prize in 2009. He currently lives in Amsterdam.

ReviewsInternational Praise for The Ditch“Herman Koch shows brilliantly how you can see things that might not be there at all,how your imagination can run away with you. The Ditch is an ode to theimagination.” --Het Parool“Herman Koch, the bestselling postwar Dutch writer, shows yet again why he is themaster of suspense and open endings.” --HUMO“Koch has mastered his métier with effortless superiority. Inventive, deceptivelyclear and full of friction. A publisher’s promise has rarely been so fully delivered.”—de Volkskrant

Kim Lord is an avant-garde figure, feminist icon, and agent provocateur in the L.A.art scene. Her groundbreaking new exhibition,Still Lives, features portraits in whichshe depicts herself as famous, murdered women—the Black Dahlia, Chandra Levy,Nicole Brown Simpson, among many others—and the works are as compelling asthey are disturbing, implicating a culture that is too accustomed to violence againstwomen.

As the city's richest art patrons pour into the Rocque Museum's opening night, allthe staff, including editor Maggie Richter, hope the event will be enough to save thehistoric institution's flailing finances.

A rogue's gallery of eccentric art world figures could also have motivefor the act, and as Maggie gets drawn into her own investigation of Lord'sdisappearance, she'll come to suspect all of those closest to her.

Set against a culture that often fetishizes violence,Still Lives is a page-turningexodus into the art world's hall of mirrors, and one woman's journey into the belly ofan industry flooded with money and secrets.

The Starter Wife

Nina Laurin

DescriptionLocal police have announced that they're closing the investigation of thesuspected drowning of 37-year-old painter Colleen Westcott. She disappeared onApril 11, 2010, and her car was found parked near the waterfront in Cleveland twodays later, but her body has never been found. The chief of police has stated that noconcrete evidence of foul play has been discovered in the probe. I close the online search window, annoyed. These articles never have enoughdetail. They think my husband's first wife disappeared or they think she is dead.There's a big difference.

My phone rings, jarring me away from my thoughts, and when I pick it up, it's anunknown number. The only answer to my slightly breathless hello is empty static.

When the voice does finally come, it's female, low, muffled somehow. "Where is it,Claire? What did you do with it? Tell me where it is."

A woman. A real flesh-and-blood woman on the other end of the phone. She's notjust in my head.

A wave of panic spreads under my skin like ice water. It's Colleen.

She arrived there when she was just twelve years old, and shespeaks and reads in Russian, French, and English but writes her novels in English.She wrote her first novel while getting her writing degree, and Girl Last Seen was abestseller a year later in 2017.

Set in the late nineteenth century Maritimes, FoundDrowned exposes the underbelly of rural life in scenarios rife with family feuds,domestic abuse, and madness. With its near-forensic attention to detail, thissuspense-filled tale rubs away the blush of romanticism which often tints views ofour past. Think the Age of Sail with a macabre twist." —Carol Bruneau, award-winning author of A Circle on the Surface

—

"We're gripped by the plight of Mary Harney, a spirited young woman who goesmissing. Is she escaping from her bed-ridden laudanum soaked mother—or fromthe oily grasp of her raging father.

Drawn into a time and place both warmlyfamiliar yet coldly disturbing, readers will be unable to turn away from from thisskillfully told tale until reaching its surprising and satisfying finish." —Steven Laffoley

"Fortune is a strumpet. Laurie Glenn Norris leads us along a murky path strewn withbad luck, or good, depending on the angle of approach. In this nineteenth-centurymurder mystery Glenn Norris skilfully entangles our assumptions with the facts andkeeps us guessing until the last page. This is an engaging read full of wit andintelligence." —Linda Little, award-winning author of Scotch River and Grist

Something, clearly, had to change. And so it was that - following a conversation witha man in a pub - Philip and Caroline left their jobs, sold their flat and moved toVenice in search of a better, simpler future. They were wrong about the 'simpler' bit .. .

Philip now works as a teacher, writer and translator, and lives in Venice withCaroline. He enjoys cooking, art, classical music and opera; and can occasionally beseen and heard singing bass with Cantori Veneziani and the Ensemble Vocale diVenezia.

Reviews...a playful novel, recounted by a witty and engaging narrator ... as Venetian as apainting by Bellini (or a glass of Bellini). Oh, and it's also an unputdownable thriller—Gregory Dowling on The Venetian Game

—

The interactions and the locations are the strength . . . and the travelling around fullof sights and sparkle . . . one damn smooth and very fine Venetian read—Fictional

DescriptionA classic collection of mysteries from the Golden Age of British crimewriting, by the author of The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Mysteries! There is no such thing as a mystery in connection with any crime,provided intelligence is brought to bear upon its investigation.

So says a rather down-at-heel elderly gentleman to young Polly Burton of theEvening Observer, in the corner of the ABC teashop on Norfolk Street oneafternoon. Once she has forgiven him for distracting her from her newspaper andluncheon, Miss Burton discovers that her interlocutor is as brilliantly gifted as he iseccentric - able to solve mysteries that have made headlines and baffled the finestminds of the police without once leaving his seat in the teahouse.

The Old Man in the Corner is a classic collection of mysteries featuring theTeahouse Detective - a contemporary of Sherlock Holmes, with a brilliant mind andwaspish temperament to match that of Conan Doyle's creation.

Her Teahouse Detective, who features in The OldMan in the Corner, was one of the first fictional sleuths created in response to theSherlock Holmes stories' huge success. Initially serialised in magazines, the storiesin this collection were first published in book form in 1908 and have since beenadapted for radio, television and film. Two more collections of Teahouse Detectivemysteries are forthcoming from Pushkin Vertigo.

Bone Deep

Sandra Ireland

DescriptionA twisty and propulsive read, this dark psychological thriller of sibling rivalry, love,betrayal, and the dire consequences of family fallout brilliantly plays on our fears ofloneliness and abandonment, harkening to the modern gothic bestsellers by RuthWare and Liz Nugent.

Is a story ever just a story?

Mac, a retired academic and writer, is working on a new collection of folktales,inspired by local legends, and at the insistence of her only child, Arthur, she hires ayoung assistant, Lucie, to live in a cottage on her property and help her transcribethem. What Arthur doesn’t know is that his mother is determined to keep the secretsof her past from ever being discovered. And what Mac doesn’t know is that Luciehas a few complicated secrets of her own.

The creaking presence of an ancient water mill next to Mac’s property that used togrind wheat into flour serves as an eerie counterpoint for these two women as theycircle warily around each other, haunted by the local legend of two long-deadsisters, ready to point accusing fingers from the pages of history.

This atmospheric page turner evocatively gives voice to the question: What happenswhen you fall in love with the wrong person?

AuthorSandra Ireland is the author of the novels Beneath the Skin and Bone Deep. Beforeturning to fiction, she worked as a journalist. Born in Yorkshire, England, she spentmany years in Limerick, Ireland, and now lives near Edinburgh.

Reviews“The final chapters take Bone Deep from being a beautifully written and thoughtfullyconstructed psychological study into sheer gothic novel nightmare territory.”

— Scotland on Sunday

“Atmospheric, with a delicious build-up of tension, and beautifully observedthroughout. An absorbing read.”

— Michael J. Malone, author of House of Spines

“Bone Deep is a taut, contemporary psychological thriller about love, betrayal,female sibling rivalry and bone grinding, blood curdling murder.”

— Sunday Post

“Exciting … a psychological thriller drenched in gothic suspense.”— Sunday Herald

“An atmospheric, fluent book which kept me reading into the small hours.”— The Courier

“Captivating, compelling and infused with Sandra Ireland’s evocative sense ofplace.”

— Noelle Harrison, author of The Gravity of Love

“A chilling psychological thriller. . . . hypnotic.”— Publishers Weekly

Everyone knows that the family’s lucrative shipping business willgo to her cousin, Adam, one day. But when her grandfather dies, Emily receives anunexpected inheritance: Peverills, a sugar plantation in Barbados—a plantation hergrandfather never told anyone he owned. When Emily accompanies her cousin and his new wife to Barbados, she findsPeverills a burnt-out shell, reduced to ruins in 1816, when a rising of enslavedpeople sent the island up in flames. Rumors swirl around the derelict plantation;people whisper of ghosts.Why would her practical-minded grandfather leave her a property in ruins? Why arethe neighboring plantation owners, the Davenants, so eager to acquire Peverills?The answer lies in the past— a tangled history of lies, greed, clandestine love,heartbreaking betrayal, and a bold bid for freedom.A brilliant, multigenerational saga in the tradition of THE THORN BIRDS andNORTH AND SOUTH, THE SUMMER COUNTRY will beguile readers with itsrendering of families, heartbreak, and the endurance of hope against all odds.

This Body's Not Big Enough for Both of Us : A Novel

Edgar Cantero

Description"Joss Whedon...can’t possibly write All The Things That Are Kind Of LikeThis. So hallelujah that Edgar Cantero – a Barcelona native whose first language isSpanish, but who spits pop-culture in English like the savviest geek in, say,Sheboygan posting on Tumblr – is writing some of them.”--The Austin Chronicle

From the New York Times bestselling author of Meddling Kids comes a mind-blowing, gender-bending, genre-smashing romp through the entire pantheon ofaction and noir. It is also a bold, tautly crafted novel about family, being weird, andclaiming your place in your own crazy story.

In a dingy office in Fisherman's Wharf, the glass panel in the door bears thenames of A. Kimrean and Z. Kimrean. Private Eyes. Behind the door there is onlyone desk, one chair, one scrawny androgynous P.I. in a tank top and skimpywaistcoat. A.Z., as they are collectively known, are twin brother and sister. He's puremisanthropic logic, she's wild hedonistic creativity. The Kimreans have been lockedin mortal battle since they were in utero...which is tricky because they, very literally,share one single body. That's right. One body, two pilots. The mystery and absurdityof how Kimrean functions, and how they subvert every plotline, twist, explosion, andgunshot--and confuse every cop, neckless thug, cartel boss, ninja, and femmefatale--in the book is pure Cantero magic. Someone is murdering the sons of the ruthless drug cartel boss known as theLyon in the biggest baddest town in California--San Carnal. The notorious A.Z.Kimrean must go to the sin-soaked, palm-tree-lined streets of San Carnal, infiltratethe Lyon's inner circle, and find out who is targeting his heirs, and while they are atit, rescue an undercover cop in too deep, deal with a plucky young stowaway, andstop a major gang war from engulfing California. They'll face every plot device andbreak every rule Elmore Leonard wrote before they can crack the case, if they don'tkill each other (themselves) first. This Body's Not Big Enough for Both of Us is a brilliantly subversive and comicthriller celebrating noir detectives, Die Hard, Fast & Furious, and the worst case ofsibling rivalry, that can only come from the mind of Edgar Cantero.

AuthorEdgar Cantero is a writer and cartoonist from Barcelona working in Catalan,Spanish, and English. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Meddling Kidsand The Supernatural Enhancements.Edgar Cantero is a writer and cartoonist from Barcelona working in Catalan,Spanish and English.

Reviews"This Body is a book that lives in the intersection between reality and pop-culture, but it does so with a kind of honesty because that's where its characterslive. Likely where Cantero lives, too. It packs more references, asides, call-outs andside-eyes into a single paragraph than anything you've ever read...once you settleinto the rat-a-tat prattle of the dialog and the tinkling of shell casings hitting the floor,it's a ride, for sure."--NPR.org"In A.Z. Kimrean, Cantero has written the funniest private investigator this side ofPeter Sellers. How can you not love the warring siblings, opposites in a single body,as they outwit everyone they meet? You will. You will love them."--Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and UnburyCarol“Audacious, clever, and ridiculously entertaining at every page turn… Subvertingfamiliar tropes of the detective genre is a fertile playground for Cantero and theresult is something extraordinarily alluring.”--SYFYWIRE“Cantero is exercising a lot of genre tropes in [ Meddling Kids]–although not aspsychedelically as he does in...the private-eye-skewering, gender-confounding ThisBody's Not Big Enough for Both of Us – and the exercise pays off in satisfyingdividends. Especially because Joss Whedon, you know? Because Joss Whedon is,after all, only a single human being, and thus can’t possibly write All The ThingsThat Are Kind Of Like This. So hallelujah that Edgar Cantero – a Barcelona nativewhose first language is Spanish, but who spits pop-culture in English like thesavviest geek in, say, Sheboygan posting on Tumblr – is writing some of them.”--The Austin Chronicle“[A] winning spoof…Literary references (Bret Easton Ellis, John Grisham, and AynRand in one sentence), clever quips (“an arrogance of college jocks”), and bad puns(a carpenter who loses his tools is a “saw loser”) keep the pages turning. Few will beable to resist Cantero’s broad, quirky humor.”--Publishers Weekly

Her obvious model is Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley [but] Burton's tale has a greatdeal to say about the very tangible conventions of our time. Its superb dialogue andcutting sense of humor help it glide irresistibly toward the unnerving moment whenLouise has to decide whether to kill again." —New York Times Book Review“What would Patricia Highsmith have made of today’s socialites with their squadgoals and weaponized Instagrams? Probably a fictional stew of envy, tension, andmystery like the one Burton stirs together, crafting a story at once familiar and fresh,summery and shadowy.”—Vulture"Edgy and hypnotic."—People"Dark, stylish...Burton's exceptional character work further elevates the tale; everyindividual is both victim and villain, imbuing their interactions with oceans ofemotional subtext and creating conflict that propels the book toward its shocking yetinevitale conclusion...At once a thrilling and provocative crime novel, a devastatingexploration of female insecurity, and a scathing indictment of society's obsessionwith social media."—Kirkus *starred review*"Fans of the cult classic Poison Ivy will appreciate the mousy girl-wild girl dynamicon display in Burton's fiendishly clever debut...An ingenious dark thrille rin thePatricia Highsmith Tom Ripley mode...This devious, satisfying novel perfectlycaptures a very narrow slice of the Manhattan demimonde."—Publishers Weekly *starred review*"Last summer, you read Jessica Knoll's Luckiest Girl Alive.

"Herron cleverly spins the templates of the spy thriller, and his style can bite with thewit of an Evelyn Waugh or Kingsley Amis." —Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal "[Herron] really is funny and his cynicism is belied, here and there, by flashes of themingled tenderness and anger that seem to define Britain’s post-Brexit self-reflections." —Charles Finch, USA Today "Scathingly funny." —Newsweek "Slough House, in this winning series, is where incompetent or disgraced Britishspies spend their days on meaningless busywork. That is, unless they stumble intogenuine espionage. Herron is a subtle stylist, and he strikes a perfect balance of big-hearted humor and thrilling spy stuff." —The Seattle Times

She trusts him completely and now thoughts of starting a family arebeginning to take hold.

The Traitor's Niche: A Novel

Ismail Kadare, John Hodgson

DescriptionLONG-LISTED FOR THE 2017 MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE

"Kadare is inevitably linked to Orwell and Kundera, but he is a far deeper ironist thanthe first, and a better storyteller than the second. He is a compellingly ironicstoryteller because he so brilliantly summons details that explode with symbolicreality." —The New Yorker

"The name of the Albanian novelist Ismail Kadare regularly comes up at Nobel Prizetime, and he is still a good bet to win it one of these days… He is seeminglyincapable of writing a book that fails to be interesting." —The New York Times

At the heart of the Ottoman Empire, in the main square of Constantinople, a niche iscarved into ancient stone. Here, the sultan displays the severed heads of hisadversaries. People flock to see the latest head and gossip about the state of theempire: the province of Albania is demanding independence again, and the nicheawaits a new trophy…

Tundj Hata, the imperial courier, is charged with transporting heads to the capital—atask he relishes and performs with fervor. As he travels through obscure andimpoverished territories, he makes money from illicit side-shows, offering villagersthe spectacle of death. The head of the rebellious Albanian governor would fetch avery high price indeed.

The Traitor's Niche is a surreal tale of tyranny and rebellion, in a land where armiescarry scarecrows, state officials ban entire languages, and the act of forgetting ismore complicated than remembering.

AuthorISMAIL KADARE is Albania's best-known novelist and poet. Translations of hisnovels have appeared in more than forty countries. He was awarded the inauguralMan Booker International Prize in 2005, and the Jerusalem Prize in 2015.JOHN HODGSON studied at Cambridge and Newcastle and has taught at theuniversities of Prishtina and Tirana. This is the fifth novel by Ismail Kadare that hehas translated.

ReviewsPraise forThe Traitor's Niche1 of 19 Translated Books to Add to Your Reading List This Summer (SignatureReads)1 of 46 Coolest Books of the Season (The Globe and Mail)A Best Book for Summer 2017 (Daily Telegraph)"The quest for a rebel pasha’s severed head becomes a grimly comic comment inJohn Hodgson’s translation of this brilliant and laconic 1978 Albanian novel, anallegorical fable about 20th-century authoritarianism." —The New York Times BookReview, Editors' Choice"IfA Girl in Exile , with its reckoning of the moral compromises made undertotalitarianism, is typical of Mr. Kadare’s post-Communist writing,The Traitor’s Niche(Counterpoint, 200 pages, $25) exemplifies the remarkable multilayered fiction hecreated during Hoxha’s rule . . . LikeA Girl in Exile , the translation is by JohnHodgson, who has superbly captured Mr. Kadare’s mixture of stark expositorywriting and sudden swerves into hallucinatory imagery . . . The book’s politicalintentions are shrewd and unmistakable. By depicting the corruption and whimsicalcruelty of the Ottoman Empire, Mr. Kadare smuggles in a damning appraisal ofAlbanian Communism . . . Its evocation of the past feels both contemporary (touristsflock to Istanbul to gawk at the severed head, and you can almost imagine themtaking cellphone photos) and outside of time. Mr. Kadare has more in common withWilliam Faulkner, a writer who spins mythology out of regional legends. This, too, is

DescriptionThe final nail-biting installment in the ten-part, award-winning Hanne Wilhelmsenseries—bestselling in Norway and throughout Europe—from Scandinavia’s mostcelebrated female crime writer, Anne Holt.

Police investigator Kjell Bonsaksen is a contented man in most areas of life, but forone mistake he made years ago that has rankled like a stone in his shoe ever since:in 2001, a two-year-old girl was killed by a speeding car while playing in the road infront of her home. The marriage of the toddler’s grief-stricken parents dissolved inthe wake of the accident, and not long thereafter, the girl’s mother died undermysterious circumstances. The girl’s father, Jonas, was convicted of his ex-wife’smurder and sentenced to twelve years in prison. But Kjell Bonsaksen knew he wasinnocent.

Now it’s 2016, and Kjell is looking forward to his retirement to the French countrysidewith his wife. An uncomfortable chance encounter with Jonas at a roadside gasstation prompts him to dig out Jonas’s case files for Detective Henrik Holme, theresident cold case prodigy. Henrik doesn’t take long to convince his beloved mentor,Hanne Wilhelmsen, that Jonas was wrongly convicted for his ex-wife’s murder. Astheir investigation evolves, Hanne and Henrik uncover eerie connections to therecent suicide of a right-wing extremist blogger whose fanatic ideologies seemincompatible with a desire to die.

Masterfully plotted, In Dust and Ashes is the outstanding finale to Anne Holt’saward-winning, politically and socially conscious series, confirming HanneWilhelmsen as a character who will “get in your head—and stay there”(Entertainment Weekly).

Reviews“Holt closes her series with one of its strongest entries, combining generoussensitivity to all with an unblinking portrait of [her] franchise sleuth.” —KirkusReviews

—

“Wilhelmsen is as intuitive, and prickly, as ever, as Holt explores further therelationship between Wilhelmsen and Holme. For fans of Jo Nesbø, who has notedHolt’s primacy in Norwegian crime fiction, and of the genre in general.” —Booklist

—

“There's no need to have read earlier installments to understand or relish the plot, inwhich apparently unrelated tragedies, the long ago death of a child, the suicide of alesbian right-wing blogger, and the kidnapping of a lottery winner's grandchild,converge for a nerve-shredding climax. Nordic noir at its best.” —AudioFile

“Anne Holt is the godmother of modern Norwegian crime fiction.”—Jo Nesbo

“Keep clear of his blade!” he cried. “Once cut, always kept!”

LONDON, JUNE 1860: When an assassination attempt is made on Queen Victoria,and a petty thief is gruesomely murdered moments later—and only a block away—Chief Detective Inspector Charles Field quickly surmises that these crimes areconnected to an even more sinister plot. Was Victoria really the assassin’s target?Are those closest to the Crown hiding something? And who is this shadowy figurewitnesses describe as having lifeless, coal-black eyes? Soon, Field’s investigationexposes a shocking conspiracy in which the publication of Charles Darwin’s On theOrigin of Species sets off a string of murders, arson, kidnapping, and the pursuit of adiabolical madman named the Chorister. As the investigation takes Field from thedangerous alleyways of London to the hallowed halls of Oxford, the list of possibleconspirators grows as the body count escalates. And as he edges closer to theChorister, he uncovers dark secrets that were meant to remain forever hidden.

With ingenuity, intelligence, and wit, debut novelist Tim Mason has created apowerfully entertaining thriller. For fans of Caleb Carr and Carlos Ruiz Zafón, TheDarwin Affair is a rousing page-turner that both Charles Dickens and Sir ArthurConan Doyle would relish and envy.

Reviews“With many grisly murders and many shocking surprises along the way, the bookrockets toward a last dark twist. Careful research, a driving plot, wry wit, andcompelling characters make this a most entertaining read.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This clever, yeasty detective yarn is like a runaway hansom cab that pauses justlong enough to take on passengers ranging from Darwin to Dickens before hurtlingonward. It's a grand ride, a serious education and a delightful addiction.” —Louis Bayard, author of Courting Mr. Lincoln

Baby's First FelonyCECIL YOUNGER INVESTIGATION, A #7John Straley

DescriptionShamus Award–winner John Straley returns to his critically acclaimedCecil Younger detective series, set in Sitka, Alaska, a land of perfect beauty andnot-so-perfect locals.

Criminal defense investigator Cecil Younger spends his days coaching would-befelons on how to avoid incriminating themselves. He even likes most of the roughcharacters who seek his services. So when Sherrie, a returning client, asks him totrack down some evidence to clear her of a domestic violence charge, Cecil agrees.Maybe he’ll find something that will get her abusive boyfriend locked up for good.

Cecil treks out to the shady apartment complex only to discover the “evidence” is alarge pile of cash—fifty thousand dollars, to be exact. That is how Cecil finds himselfin violation of one of his own maxims: Nothing good comes of walking around with alot of someone else’s money.

In this case, “nothing good” turns out to be a deep freeze full of drug-stuffed fish, amurder witnessed at close range, and a kidnapping—his teenage daughter,Blossom, is snatched as collateral for his cooperation. The reluctant, deeply unluckyinvestigator turns to an unlikely source for help: the misfit gang of clients he’s helpedto defend over the years. Together, they devise a plan to free Blossom and restoreorder to Sitka. But when your only hope for justice lies in the hands of a group ofcriminals, things don’t always go according to plan.

AuthorJohn Straley was born in Redwood City, California. He received a BA in Englishfrom the University of Washington, but settled in Sitka, Alaska, with his wife, Jan, aprominent whale biologist. John worked for thirty years as a criminal defenseinvestigator, and many of the characters in his books were inspired by his work. Nowretired, he lives with his wife in a bright green house on the beach and writes in hisweathertight office overlooking Old Sitka Rocks. The former Writer Laureate ofAlaska, he is the author of ten novels, including Cold Storage, Alaska and theShamus Award–winner The Woman Who Married a Bear , the first Cecil Youngerinvestigation.

ReviewsPraise for Baby's First Felony“Straley knows how to wrap deadly violence in a bubble of black humor that suits thenovel's beautiful but harsh setting, where whales open their maws to dine on oceansof salmon fry and men kill one another while ravens fly overhead, screaming withlaughter.” —New York Times "Inimitable." —The Seattle Times "Happily, both Straley and Younger are back, and they are in fine form.

As darkness gathers, the sky is filled with frantic motion and maddening murmurs. Inan effort to end the world, an unhappy, aging Native American shaman invokes theHopi god of death.

Horses, sheep, cattle—no living thing is safe. Butwhat is causing the horrible deaths? Deputy Sheriff Duran is called back to thereservation to investigate. Immediately, Duran recognizes the significance of theshaman’s spell and, with the help of two scientists, he works to combat thesupernatural scourge—before there’s nothing left to save.

Written “in the tradition of Stephen King” (Kirkus Reviews), Nightwing is part lovetriangle, part Native American case study, part supernatural thriller…and “genuinelyhorrifying” (The Washington Post Book World).

The Van Apfel Girls Are Gone

Felicity McLean

DescriptionThe Virgin Suicides meets Picnic at Hanging Rock in this stunning internationaldebut.

“A smart, classy thriller that blazes with the heat of Australia and slowly reveals itsmany layers.” —Fiona Mozley, author of Man Booker Prize finalist Elmet “We lost all three girls that summer. Let them slip away like the words of some half-remembered song, and when one came back, she wasn’t the one we were trying torecall to begin with.”

Tikka Malloy was eleven and one-sixth years old during the long hot summer of1992, living in an Australian suburb with her sister and their three best friends. TheTV news in the background chattered with debate about the exoneration of Lindy(“dingo took my baby”) Chamberlain. That summer was when the Van Apfel sisters,Ruth, Hannah, and the beautiful Cordelia, mysteriously disappeared. Did they justrun—far away from their harsh, evangelical parents—or were they taken? While thesearch for the girls united the small community, the mystery of their disappearancewas never solved, and Tikka and her older sister, Laura, have been haunted eversince by the loss of their friends and playmates.

Now, years later, Tikka has returned home to try to make sense of that strangemoment in time, of the summer that left her frozen in the past, of the girls that shenever forgot.

Part mystery, part darkly comic coming-of-age story, The Van Apfel Girls Are Goneis a page-turning read—with a dark, shimmering absence at its heart.

AuthorFelicity McLean is an author and journalist. Her writing has appeared in the GoodWeekend, the Daily Telegraph, the Big Issue and more. She lives in Australia. Thisis her first novel.

Reviews“A wry, sad coming-of-age story and a well-crafted first novel.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A taut, beautifully written thriller with a scorching expansive setting. The Van ApfelGirls Are Gone is a fantastic debut and a story that lingers.”—Lisa Ballantyne, author of Everything She Forgot

“I deeply admire the languid, lived-in prose of Felicity McLean’s lovely novel TheVan Apfel Girls Are Gone. This is a story as much about forgiving ourselves our ownchildhoods, as it is about acknowledging and embracing the people we’ve becomebecause of those adolescent (and sometimes life altering) choices.”—Hannah Pittard, author of Visible Empire

“Engrossing and goosebumpy from start to finish, this novel about three youngsisters who vanish all together one night has the chilling feel of true events that arestranger than fiction, and the stuff of nightmares. But the magic of McLean's art isnot just her gift for evoking, in almost hallucinogenic detail, her haunted narrator'schildhood—a time and place linked to Australia's notorious true-life story of a babydragged off in the night by a wild animal—but to do so in the most charming andirresistible of narrative voices. The result is a novel that is as delightful as it isterrifying, and just scary good.”—Tim Johnston, bestselling author of Descent and The Current

The Body in Question: A Novel

Jill Ciment

DescriptionFrom the author of Heroic Measures ("Brave, generous, nearly perfect"--L.A. Times), Act of God, and (with Amy Hempel), The Hand That Feeds You ("Anunnerving, elegant page-turner"--Vanity Fair), a spare, masterful novel about ashocking murder trial, a sequestered jury, and an affair between two of the jurors--the woman, in free fall in her life and marriage to a much older man.

The place: central Florida. The situation: a sensational murder trial involving a rich,white teenage girl--a twin--on trial for the horrific murder of her toddler brother, andthe sequestered jury deciding her fate. The setting: a utilitarian marble cube of acourthouse, more Soviet than Le Corbusier; and the court-appointed motel off theinterstate. Two of the jurors: Hannah, a 52 year-old former Rolling Stone, InterviewMagazine photographer of rock stars and socialites (she switched to photographinganimals when she realized she looked at people "as a species" rather than asindividuals) and Graham, a 41 year-old anatomy professor, sequestered (she, JurorC-2; he, F-17), holed up at the Econo-Lodge off I-75. As the shocking and numbing details of the crime and its surrounding facts arerevealed during a string of days and seemingly endless court hours, the nights,playing out in a series of court-financed meals (Outback Steak House; Red Lobster;Domino's pizza delivery), Hannah and Graham fall into a furtive affair, keeping theiroath, as jurors, never to discuss the trial. During deliberations the lovers learn theyare on opposing sides of the case and realize that their fellow jurors are wise to theiraffair. After the trial's end, as Hannah returns home to her much older, now,suddenly, frail husband (they married when she was 24; he, 58) an exploding mediafury involving the case catches them all up in a frenzy of public outrage at a jury thatseems to have convicted the wrong twin, and a judge who has received ananonymous handwritten letter about a series of sexual encounters ("I feel it is myduty as a juror and a citizen to report that two of my fellow jurors had sexual contacton more than seven occasions during our nights at the motel..."), calling intoquestion their respective verdicts, and announcing she is releasing the jurors'names to the media. Hannah's "one last dalliance before she is too old" takes onprofoundly personal and moral consequences, as the novel moves to its affecting,powerful and surprising conclusion.

AuthorJILL CIMENT was born in Montreal, Canada. She has been the recipient ofnumerous grants and awards, among them a National Endowment for the Artsfellowship, two New York Foundation for the Arts fellowships, the Janet HeidingerKafka Prize, and a Guggenheim fellowship. Ciment is a professor at the Universityof Florida. She lives in Gainesville, Florida, and Brooklyn, New York.

The L.A. Quartet: The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A.Confidential, White JazzEML CONTEMP CLASSICSJames Ellroy, Tom Nolan

DescriptionHere in one volume is James Ellroy's first great body of work, an epic re-envisioning of postwar Los Angeles--etched in red and black and film-noir grays.

The Black Dahlia depicts the secret infrastructure of L.A.'s most sensational murdercase. A young cop morphs into obsessed lover and lust-crazed avenger. The Dahliaclaims him. She is the deus ex machina of a boomtown in extremis. The cop's rogueinvestigation is a one-way ticket to hell.

The Big Nowhere blends the crime novel and the political novel. It is winter, 1950--and the L.A. County Grand Jury is out to slam movieland Reds. It's a reverentialshuck--and the three cops assigned to the job are out to grab all the glory they can.A series of brutal sex killings intervenes, and the job goes all-the-way bad.

L.A. Confidential is the great novel of Los Angeles in the 1950s. Political corruption.Scandal-rag journalism. Bad racial juju and gangland wars. Six local stiffsslaughtered in an all-night hash house. The glorious and overreaching LAPD on anunprecedented scale.

White Jazz gives us the tortured confession of a corrupt cop going down for thecount. He's a slumlord, a killer, a parasitic exploiter. He's a pawn in a series of policepower plays and starting to see that he's being had. He's just met a woman. Thus,he's determined to claw his way out of the horrifying world he's created--and he'sdetermined to tell us everything.

The L.A. Quartet is a groundbreaking work of American popular fiction.

AuthorJAMES ELLROY was born in Los Angeles in 1948. He is the author ofthe Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy--American Tabloid, The Cold Six Thousand , andBlood's A Rover --and the L.A. Quartet novels, The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere,L. A. Confidential , and White Jazz. He lives in Colorado.

Reviews“Ask me to name the best living novelist who’s fierce, brave, funny,scatalogical, beautiful, convoluted, and paranoid…and it becomes simple: JamesEllroy.”—Stephen King“One of the great American writers of our time.”—Todd Grimson, Los Angeles Times“There has never been a writer like James Ellroy. Since the eighties, in novels suchas L.A. Confidential and The Cold Six Thousand , he has been making real a secretworld behind the official history of America, where bad girls mingle with very badmen, and the designs of murderers, cops, mobsters, movie stars, and politicians canbe equally callous, equally deadly. He melds racial invective, street slang, hepcatjazz talk, junkie jive, and scandal-rag rants into prose of such controlled intensitythat to enter it is to experience a vivid eyeball rush of recognition.”—Chris Harvey,The Telegraph (London)

—MarketingMore infoJAMES ELLROY: Ellroy has influenced a generation of crime writers and haselevated the genre of crime fiction time and again. Megan Abbott has said, “My firsttwo books are really love songs to [Ellroy].” And the English author and criticNicholas Blincoe has said, “Writers like James Ellroy only come along once ageneration. His L.A. Quartet has been credited with redefining crime fiction. It’s nottrue. It redefined the novel.”SALES TRACK: Ellroy’s backlist continues to sell 10,000 copies a year, and sinceBookScan has been tracking, he has sold over 650,000 copies.INTRODUCER: Tom Nolan will pen the introduction. He is one of the most regardedcritics of crime fiction today.BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE: Everyman’s Library pursues the highest productionstandards, with classically designed books on acid-free cream-colored paper, full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers,European-style half-round spines, and striking jackets.

DescriptionIn the newest installment of the bestselling Aunt Dimity series, a drearyChristmas leads to hidden treasure and new friendships

It's almost Christmas in the small English village of Finch--and everyone is sick.Though many of the villagers regretfully decline their invitations to Emma Harris'sannual Christmas bash, Lori Shepherd has no intention of missing it. When thewinter weather takes a turn for the worse, it's agreed that none of the guests willleave until morning.

While she catches her breath, Emma asks herother guests if they would like a tour of the Manor--including an odd room thatpuzzles her. Several guests put forth guesses as to its purpose, but it's Tilly whocorrectly identifies the room as a chapel. Placing a palm on one of the ornately-carved panels, Tilly finds a hidden compartment concealing a pile of glitteringtreasure--including an exquisitely decorated heart made of solid gold. Where did itcome from, and why does it look so different from everything else in the chapel?Why didn't Emma even know about this hidden compartment in her own home untilnow--and how did Tilly?

With Aunt Dimity's otherworldly help and Tilly's bewildering store of knowledge, Loriand friends set out to unravel the mystery behind the heart of gold. And, against allodds--and Christmas finally comes to Finch!

Last Night Out, The: A psychological thriller

Catherine O'Connell

DescriptionSix friends. A bride to be. One murder. Too many secrets.

After drinking too much at her bachelorette party, Maggie Trueheart wakes to find astranger in her bed. To make matters worse, a phone call brings the devastatingnews that her friend Angie was murdered some time after they parted ways the nightbefore.

Kelly Delaney, who left the party early, is the first of Maggie’s friends to facequestions from Chicago homicide detective Ron O’Reilly. After taking a closer lookat the other women who attended the party, O’Reilly concludes that at least some ofthem are lying.

As the clock ticks down to the wedding day and more shocking secrets are revealed,the murderer zeros in on another one of the girls. Can the killer be stopped beforethere is another victim?

ReviewsCatherine O’Connell has written a detailed and deftly plotted thriller that is as mucha romance novel as it is a mystery with several twists. It’s doubtful even the mostcanny reader will guess the culprit until the tense final chapters, and the revelationsin Kelly’s part of the epilogue will stay in the mind for a long time.

— NY Journal

"The creator of the High Society mysteries (Well Read and Dead, 2009, etc.) hasproduced a stand-alone that does for the 1980s what Mary McCarthy’s The Groupdid for the '30s, with more than a little mystification thrown in"

— Kirkus Reviews

"The story sashays in some surprising directions before briskly pulling all thedisparate threads together in a slam-bang finale. O’Connell tells this intricatelyplotted tale with verve"

DescriptionA small plane was blown up in an act of sabotage several years ago over NorthernQuebec, Canada. The incident was quickly analyzed and termed a mechanicalfailure. The case was closed in a rush. A young actor from Montreal dies inAfghanistan. Killed by a missile from a drone. His death opens up wounds anddiscussions that are not in the public domain.

These two seemingly disparate events form the backbone of a compellingcontemporary “ideas thriller,” set in Montreal’s Main district and in the blue-greenmountains of Kandahar. Past values, local history, neighborhood myths and intensepsychosexual vectors are suddenly on a collision course with the currentinternational context of wars, migration, exile and terror. A soupy, foggy atmospherehangs low over the district. In the backdrop is the cold case of the airplane sabotagethat occurred over a decade ago. Was the plane crash hushed-up? Why?

Three friends from Montreal’s Plateau and Mile End districts manage to de-freezethe cold case, burn up the fog and hell breaks loose, not only in their personal lives,but in their own affiliations. What does it take to clear the fog of complex emotions,the unresolved local conflicts and the intricate remembrances of variouscommunities in a fabled neighborhood?

AuthorRana Bose is an author, playwright, poet, and dramaturge. Fog is Bose’s thirdnovel. He has written and staged eleven plays that have been performed in manycities. He is the founding editor of Montreal Serai. Born and raised in Kolkata(Calcutta), Rana Bose completed his engineering studies at George WashingtonUniversity, and has lived in Montreal the 1970s.

Reviews"A literate mystery/thriller set in Montreal (on “the Main”) with side trips to Calcuttaand Kandahar, this is a superbly written book about a neighbourhood, friendships,justice and belonging. Highly recommended.” —James Fisher, The MiramichiReader

She's young and driven, and herunique skill at seeing connections others miss has brought her an impressive stringof arrests.

But a shocking new case-unfolding across the country-has left her utterly baffled.

The victims all appear to have died by accident, and have seemingly nothing incommon. But this many deaths can't be coincidence. And the killer is somehow onestep ahead of every move Dockery makes. How?

Her first assignment: nail Joe Morelli, aformer vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one. Morelli’s the inamorato whocharmed Stephanie out of her virginity at age sixteen. There’s still powerfulchemistry between them, so the chase should be interesting…and could also beextremely dangerous.

Bravo For Adventure

Alex Toth

DescriptionAlex Toth's magnum opus contains all three of The Genius's stories starring JesseBravo, knock-about pilot and reluctant swashbuckler, including the original graphicnovel.

More than forty years after its creation, Bravo For Adventure remains a rollickingpastiche of 1930s high-adventure, replete in the visual trappings of film noir withoutany of that genre's existential depression. By this point in his career Toth hadstripped out all extraneous lines and detail, demonstrating complete command of hisstaging and chiaraoscruo technique, and cementing his reputation as the medium'smost sophisticated storyteller.

Also included are never-before-seen pencil roughs, preliminary drawings, and storyfragments, as well as Toth's own coloring samples for an edition that never sawprint, and--freed from storage after 40-some-years--the coloring for what wasintended to be Bravo's original 1975 first printing in France! It's not just a comicscollection, it's a capital "E" Event -- the ultimate Bravo for Adventure, published byspecial arrangement with the Toth family!

AuthorBorn in New York City in 1928, Alex Toth attended what is now the School of VisualArts and broke into the comic book field as a teenager. During his sixty-yearprofessional career, he became known as the "artists' artist"--he became very muchlike his great hero, Noel Sickles--the guy all the others wanted to draw like. In the1960s he entered the animation field and became equally well-known and respectedfor his groundbreaking designs for Space Ghost and The Herculoids, among otherseries.

Abigale Hall: A Novel

Lauren A Forry

DescriptionAmid the terror of the Second World War, seventeen-year-old Eliza andher troubled little sister Rebecca have had their share of tragedy, having lost theirmother to the Blitz and their father to suicide. Forced to leave London to work for themysterious Mr. Brownwell at Abigale Hall, they soon learn that the worst is yet tocome. The vicious housekeeper, Mrs. Pollard, seems hell-bent on keeping theghostly secrets of the house away from the sisters and forbids them from enteringthe surrounding town—and from the rumors that circulate about Abigale Hall. WhenEliza uncovers some blood-splattered books, ominous photographs, and portraits ofa mysterious woman, she begins to unravel the mysteries of the house, but withRebecca falling under Mrs. Pollard’s spell, she must act quickly to save her sister,and herself, from certain doom.

Perfect for readers who hunger for the strange, Abigale Hall is an atmospheric debutnovel where the threat of death looms just beyond the edge of every page. LaurenA. Forry has created a historical ghost story where the setting is as alive as thecharacters who inhabit it and a resonant family drama of trust, loyalty, and salvation.

AuthorLauren A. Forry was brought up in Pennsylvania before living in the woods outsideof London. She earned her MFA in creative writing from Kingston University. Thereshe was awarded the Faber and Faber Creative Writing MA Prize for her thesiswork, Abigale Hall. Her short stories have since been published by Brick MoonFiction, Lamplight magazine, and other sci-fi and horror anthologies. She currentlyresides in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Reviews"I mean, come on, who doesn't love an atmospheric, creepy-as-hell Gothicnovel featuring two tormented sisters? ABIGALE HALL recalls the classics of thegenre while smartly pushing and prodding at the genre boundaries as well as thediscomfort level of the reader."—PAUL TREMBLAY, author of A Head Full of Ghostsand Disappearance at Devil's Rock”Set in Britain’s difficult postwar years, Abigale Hall is a moody, Gothic fantasy thattransports the reader from the grimy streets of London to a remote, crumblingmansion in the Wales countryside. Forry’s well-drawn, idiosyncratic characters findthemselves absorbed into a surreal world where reality is not what it seems, andwhich becomes more horrifying with every turn of the page. A tense, intelligent readthat surprises right up to its unexpected conclusion!”—RICHARD COX, author ofThe Boys of Summer “From the first paragraph . . . readers know they have entered a splendid gothicnovel, with dark shadows and a disturbing creep of horror. It then comes as anintriguing surprise that the book is set in the years following the end of WWII . . .Forry shows herself a master at seductive prose that keeps the reader turningpages, eager to discover the next shocking turn of events.”—Publishers Weekly,starred review "This is the kind of book that grabs the reader by the throat and doesn't let go. I amusually a silent reader, but this story made me squirm, gasp and even screamseveral times. Forry expertly ratchets up the tension on every page . . . And whilethe story is timeless, as all good tales of terror are, Forry anchors it with perioddetails that explain the psychology and concerns of the characters. Fans of gothicclassics such as du Maurier’s Rebecca and James's The Turn of the Screw will lovethis creepy, gruesome tale of terror. Just don't read it before eating or going to bed.Highly recommended."—The Historical Novel Society“I had thought it not possible for any contemporary writer to be able to retrieve thefeelings of gloom and dread encountered in such iconic novels as du Maurier’sRebecca, Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, and even the more jagged side of ShirleyJackson. Lauren A. Forry, whose work is new to me, takes the gothic—and neo-gothic—sensibility common to these authors and folds in a harsher, yet equallyatmospheric, texture . . . a mix of deep wonder, texture, complicated players, and asense of unease that never is relieved—even at the end. ”—Hell Notes "Full of atmosphere and with that irresistible creeping dread from start to end, thisGothic horror is a real treat."HEAT MAGAZINE "Lauren A. Forry was PA to Zooey Deschanel on The Happening— that being an M.Night Shyamalan movie, she's obviously well versed in nightmares . . . This debutnovel of the Faber & Faber Creative Writing MA prize winner, touted as Daphne DuMaurier meets hitchcock, is one to watch."THE SKINNY

DescriptionTimothy Blake, ex-consultant for the FBI, now works in body disposal for a localcrime lord. One night he stumbles across a body he wasn’t supposed to find and isforced to hide it.

As they hunt the killer together, FBI agent Reese Thistle starts to warm to Blake—but she also gets closer and closer to discovering his terrible secret.

Can Blake uncover the killer without being exposed himself?

AuthorFirst published as a teenager, Jack Heath is the award-winning author of more thantwenty fiction titles for young adult and middle-grade readers. He lives in Australia.

Reviews“I devoured Just One Bite . Jack Heath is alarmingly skilled in all things dark andsinister. Luckily he is also bitingly, outrageously funny.” —Sarah Bailey, bestsellingauthor of The Dark Lake"Timothy Blake is a brilliant creation, guided by his own wayward moral compass,full of contradictions and black humor. Fast-paced and compelling, suspenseful andcomic. Just One Bite is a terrific read." —Chris Hammer, international bestsellingauthor of Scrublands“Jack Heath’s writing is tight, twisted, and terrific. He’s given us a monster to rootfor, a monster who makes us laugh, a monster who will follow you around well afteryou’ve finished reading. Keep the lights on at night and you should be fine. Maybehide the cutlery too.” —Paul Cleave, international bestselling author of A KillerHarvest"Jack Heath does an astonishing job of continuing to make the reader root for thecannibal detective. … Highly recommended!" —Carpe Librum“A funny, chilling, thought-provoking book with a killer ending. So to speak.” —TheSydney Morning Herald“Just One Bite (and Hangman) are not for the faint of heart, but they are damn goodthrillers that will have you turning pages... What I can appreciate about Blake’scharacter is that he knows exactly who and what he is – he knows what he’s doing iswrong but he also doesn’t know how to curb his behaviours, despite trying – and he’sa delightfully complex anti-hero who the reader can be empathetic towards, evenwhen he’s doing really horrible things... creepy and engaging and thrilling in equalmeasures.” —Noveltea Corner“There are multiple and complex strands to this novel which, as it progresses to itsdénouement, gradually become entwined... Timothy is a complex character and, inthe hands of a lesser writer, it would be almost impossible for the reader to developmuch sympathy for him. However, Jack Heath has written enough about Timothy,his tragic background and his moral system for the reader to – at least – have someunderstanding of why he does what he does.” —Queensland ReviewersCollective“This compelling thriller opens at a brisk and grisly pace and keeps the readerengaged as it veers down some dark and disturbing paths.” —Canberra Weekly

The Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy, Volume I: American Tabloid, TheCold Six ThousandEML CONTEMP CLASSICSJames Ellroy, Thomas Mallon

Description"America was never innocent."

Thus begins the Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy. It's James Ellroy's pop history of the 1960s, hiswindow-peeper's view of government misconduct, his dirty trickster's take on the greatevents of an incendiary era. It's a tour de force of the American idiom, and an acknowledgedmasterpiece.

American Tabloid gives us Jack Kennedy's ride, seen from an insider's perspective. We'rethere for the rigged 1960 election. We're there for the Bay of Pigs fiasco. We're the eyes andears and souls of three rogue cops who've signed on for the ride and come to see Jack astheir betrayer. We're Jack's pimps and hatchet men, and we're there for that baroque slayingin Dallas.

The Cold Six Thousand takes us from Dallas to Vietnam to Memphis to the kitchen of theAmbassador Hotel in L.A. We're rubbing shoulders with RFK and MLK, calamitousklansmen, noted mafiosi. We're forced to relive the American sixties--and we come awaybreathless.

The first two books of the Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy revisit the most anarchic decade in ourhistory. They are defined by their brutal linguistic flair and reckless panache.

AuthorJAMES ELLROY was born in Los Angeles in 1948. He is the author ofthe Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy--American Tabloid, The Cold Six Thousand , and Blood's ARover--and the L.A. Quartet novels, The Black Dahlia , The Big Nowhere, L.A.Confidential, and White Jazz. He lives in Colorado.

The Summer Country: A Novel

Lauren Willig

DescriptionThe New York Times bestselling historical novelist delivers her biggest, boldest, andmost ambitious novel yet—a sweeping Victorian epic of lost love, lies, jealousy, andrebellion set in colonial Barbados.Barbados, 1854: Emily Dawson has always been the poor cousin in a prosperousEnglish merchant clan-- merely a vicar’s daughter, and a reform-minded vicar’sdaughter, at that. Everyone knows that the family’s lucrative shipping business willgo to her cousin, Adam, one day. But when her grandfather dies, Emily receives anunexpected inheritance: Peverills, a sugar plantation in Barbados—a plantation hergrandfather never told anyone he owned. When Emily accompanies her cousin and his new wife to Barbados, she findsPeverills a burnt-out shell, reduced to ruins in 1816, when a rising of enslavedpeople sent the island up in flames. Rumors swirl around the derelict plantation;people whisper of ghosts.Why would her practical-minded grandfather leave her a property in ruins? Why arethe neighboring plantation owners, the Davenants, so eager to acquire Peverills?The answer lies in the past— a tangled history of lies, greed, clandestine love,heartbreaking betrayal, and a bold bid for freedom.A brilliant, multigenerational saga in the tradition of THE THORN BIRDS andNORTH AND SOUTH, THE SUMMER COUNTRY will beguile readers with itsrendering of families, heartbreak, and the endurance of hope against all odds.

Author

Lauren Willig is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of severalnovels. She lives in New York City with her family.

Reviews“Powerful, emotional, beautiful, and historically fascinating, The Summer Country isa simply breathtaking saga. This is the kind of book you fall into, that absorbs you forthe entire time you are reading it and that after, haunts you.... long after.”

— M.J. Rose, New York Times bestselling author of Tiffany Blues

“In this evocative family saga, The Summer Country, Willig sweeps the reader awayto the heartbreak of colonial Barbados, where love across the color line is forbidden,and the repercussions of slavery’s cruelty echoes through the generations. Bold andbeautifully told, with unexpected twists, the puzzle pieces fit together with asatisfying click. Brava!”

— Stephanie Dray, New York Times bestselling author of My Dear Hamilton

“Lauren Willig’s The Summer Country is a sumptuous read, evoking M.M. Kaye’slush and sweeping tales of nineteenth century colonial life. I read The SummerCountry slowly—doling out exquisite chapters one at a time—because there are toofew books written today that harken back to that delicious way of storytelling thatdoesn’t rush things just to keep up with modern trends. I would count this one as anew classic and encourage every reader who cares about quality writing to quicklyadd this one to their list of to-be-favorites.”

— Camille Di Maio, author of The Beautiful Strangers

“So steeped in Caribbean culture, my hands were sweating while turning the pages.Lauren Willig has ventured to story territory near and dear to my heart. The SummerCountry is a daring, meticulously researched narrative of complicated love. A hotsummer read for historical fiction fans!”

— Sarah McCoy, New York Times bestselling author of Marilla of Green Gables

The Way I Die: A Novel

Derek Haas

DescriptionThe way I die is two taps to the head, stuffed in the trunk of a rental sedan, my bodyset on fire. The way I die is both arms broken, both legs broken, tossed off acigarette boat in the middle of Lake Michigan, bricks in my pockets to weigh downthe corpse. The way I die is acid in a bathtub, pushed out of an airplane, strung upand gutted in an old textile warehouse in Boston. My name is Copeland. My nameis Columbus. The way I die is a shotgun in my mouth, my finger on the trigger. Itis the middle of February on Mackinac Island, a tiny community off the northernMichigan coast. But Columbus isn't here to enjoy the picturesque surroundings. Reeling after the death of his wife and relinquishing his son, he lives in isolation—inself-imposed punishment and exile. Forgotten and alone. Nameless to hisneighbors. But even if he runs and hides, Columbus is never alone for long. Tenyears after Columbus—one of the most original anti-heroes in contemporary fiction—first exploded onto the scene in The Silver Bear, Derek Haas delivers anotherriveting thriller that promises heart-pounding action and shocking twists until the verylast page.

AuthorDerek Haas is the author of the novels The Silver Bear, Columbus, and Dark Men,which make up The Assassin Trilogy, as well as the novel A Different Lie, alsofeaturing Columbus. Derek co-created "Chicago Fire" and executive produces"Chicago P.D." for NBC. He also co-wrote the screenplays for 3:10 to Yuma,Wanted, and The Double. Derek is the creator of PopcornFiction.com and lives inLos Angeles with his family.

Reviews‘You're not going to like me when this is over,’ Haas’s hit man warns his readers.Maybe not, but you won't be able to avert your eyes from a single scene in thisstripped-down, dead-eyed, professional-grade actioner. — Kirkus ReviewsHaas succeeds at making our slightly evolved Columbus as intriguing (and screen-worthy) in this fifth episode as he was in our first dangerous glimpse of him. —Booklist (Starred)Gripping. Haas packs solid suspense, vivid action, and well-developed charactersinto a tight plot that never lags. — Publishers WeeklyThe beauty of Haas’s prose comes from his understanding of the economy oflanguage. The writing in this book is sharp and to the point. Columbus is now easilyrecognizable as one of the best antiheroes in contemporary crime fiction. A veryentertaining read. In the era of bloated thrillers, a book like The Way I Die isrefreshing. It is quick, brutal, and packed with moments of self-reflection andtenderness. Furthermore, it proves that Haas is still in fine form and producing thekind of explosive literature that has made him a household name. — CriminalElementIntroduces a plot that takes this self-exiled assassin to the Pacific Northwest toprotect a software inventor from being eliminated by persons or governmentsunknown. But there’s no time to linger on the particulars when Columbus is stockingup on the latest weaponry and getting ready to face a killer as cool as he is. —Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book ReviewA tense, tightly coiled plot that erupts with action on almost every page. AlthoughCopeland’s last outing was three years ago, Haas seamlessly picks up the mantle ofhis character, quickly re-establishing the world of his assassin. Amid the solid action,Haas also explores Copeland’s identity crisis. Is he the cold-blooded killerColumbus, or the reinvented Copeland? Is he “the sword” or “the armor”? hewonders. — Mystery Scene MagazineHaas doesn’t know how to write a boring page. — David Benioff, New York Timesbestselling author of City of Thieves, co-creator of GAME OF THRONES on HBOHaas’s absorbing fourth thriller featuring the contract killer known as Columbus teststhe proposition expressed in the book that 'lies are popular and truth is the uninvitedguest who spoils the party.'

Steller's Orchid

Tom McGuire

DescriptionIn 1924, Yale student John Lars Nelson takes ship on the SS Victoria, bound forNome. He has been hired to do a plant survey, but his real mission is to find anorchid described by Georg Wilhelm Steller, the naturalist on Vitus Bering’s 1741expedition. On the ship, John Lars encounters a young Aleut woman, NatashaChristiansen. Once in Nome he hires a pair of down-at-the-heels bootleggers to takehim to the Shumagin Islands on their schooner, the Emilia Galotti. He quicklydiscovers that the two are not what they first seemed. In Bristol Bay he againencounters Natasha and she joins them but she and John are marooned shortlythereafter. They cross the Alaskan Peninsula on foot and then in a borrowed skiffreach Nagai Island, where Bering made his landfall two centuries before. They findthe Emilia there, along with another ship, and the hunt for the orchid brings to aviolent resolution an intrigue started many years before.

Author

Tom McGuire came to Alaska with two college friends. Fifty years later he stillhasn’t found reason to leave. He has worked as a salmon fisherman, carpenter, andNorth Slope oilfield worker. He and his wife have raised four children in a house theybuilt on the banks of the Chilkoot River. Grizzly bears are frequent visitors. Tom hasalso paddled thousands of miles down (and up) northern rivers. He has published abook 99 Days on the Yukon , that describes a summerlong trip with legendarycanoeist Charlie Wolf.

Reviews

I learned more about life in the Aleutians 100 years ago from Tom McGuire's pageturner Steller’s Orchid than I did from a decade living in Alaska. In the course ofdrawing us in to the quest of John Lars, a young orchid seeker, McGuire subtlyreveals how we arrived at the Alaska of today.. This adventurous, unforgettablyoriginal and so human saga has more than a few moments of erudite ad poeticnarrative. Steller’s Orchid teaches us how and why commoditized plants have beentransported around the world to comprise the modern agricultural landscape.McGuire’s narrative culminates in an exciting climax set in one of the most remotespots on the planet, a fitting end to a book that is as much about the nature of lifeand love as orchid hunting and ambition.

—Doug Fine, author Farewell, My Subaru and Too High to Fail

—

It’s 1924, and Yale botany student John Lars Nelson embarks on the adventure of alifetime to Alaska’s remote Shumagin Islands in search of a brilliant red orchid thatmay or may not exist. Little does he realize that finding a flower in the arctic wouldbe a matter of life and death.

In Nelson, Tom McGuire has created a smart, capable, and endearing narrator forthis old-fashioned adventure, mystery, and coming of age novel.

Steller’s Orchid is authentically Alaskan and refreshingly original. It belongs on theshelf with Eowyn Ivey’s To the Bright Edge of the World and Lynn Schooler’sWalking Home.

I just finished Steller’s Orchid, and I enjoyed it so much that I’d like to read it again.

The Melody: A Novel

Jim Crace

DescriptionFrom the award-winning author of Harvest, Quarantine, and Being Dead, a tendernew novel about music, celebrity, local intrigue, and lost love.

Aside from his trusty piano, Alfred Busi lives alone in his villa overlooking the waves.Famed in his tiny Mediterranean town for his music, he is mourning the recent deathof his wife and quietly living out his days. Then one night, Busi is wrested from bedby noises in his courtyard and then stunned by an attacking intruder--his hands andneck are scratched, his face is bitten. Busi insists his assailant was neither man noranimal.

The attack sets off a chain of events that will cast a shadow on Busi's career, imperilhis home, and alter the fabric of his town. Busi's own account of what happened isembellished to fan the flames of old rumor--of an ancient race of people living in thesurrounding forest. It is also used to spark new controversy, inspiring claims thatsomething must finally be done about the town's poor, the feral vagabonds at itsedges, whose numbers have been growing.

In trademark crystalline prose, Jim Crace portrays a man taking stock of his life andlooking into an uncertain future, all while bearing witness to a community in thethroes of great change--with echoes of today's most pressing social questions.

AuthorJIM CRACE is the author of eleven previous novels. His most recent, Harvest, wasshort-listed for the Man Booker Prize and won the International Dublin LiteraryAward and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. In 2000, Being Dead won the U.S.National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction, and in 1997, Quarantine was namedthe Whitbread Novel of the Year and was short-listed for the Booker Prize. JimCrace has also received the Whitbread First Novel Prize, the E. M. Forster Award,and the Guardian Fiction Prize. He lives in England.

Reviews"Of the generation of British novelists born in the immediate postwar period, onlyKazuo Ishiguro rivals Crace’s range in terms of emotional power and unusualsubject matter." —Financial Times"This could have been a straightforward political allegory about man’s inhumanity toman: the poor of Busi’s city, banished to its outskirts, are increasingly under threat oferadication. But Crace’s seductively atmospheric novel, suffused as it is witharchetypes and the stuff of dreams, is much richer, slyer and more mysterious. It’san elegy, too—for lost love, youth and talent—and deeply moving." —Daily Mail"Hypnotic and powerful." —The Irish Times"The Melody is at its most poignant on the subject of growing old...every sentence ispacked with Crace's characteristic lyricism.... Anybody who reads The Melody willfind plenty to admire and chew on." —The Times"Strange, unsettling, brilliant—everything you'd expect from one of our most originaland inventive novelists." —Observer"The Melody is an ambitious, powerful work which won’t disappoint his growing bandof enthusiasts." —Big Issue

Aidan Truhen

DescriptionIn this audacious, lightning-paced thriller, a smart-mouthed, white-collardrug dealer--a hilariously irreverent antihero--seeks revenge when an unknownenemy takes out a contract on him.

Jack Price is having a bad day. What he absolutely did not need was for someone toexecute his grouchy old neighbor as if she was a drug mule. Questions will beasked, and Jack is a small businessman in a competitive sector hobbled by red tapeand, you know: laws. Just because the product Jack trades in is cocaine, peopleassume it’s all guns and murders, but that is the old cocaine business and Jack is allabout the new one: high-tech, high-end and on-demand.

But when Jack begins making some inquiries with a view to calming the whole thingdown, someone hires the Seven Demons to kill him. You bring those people in to killgenerals and presidents and take down countries, not to mess with a guy who’s justtrying to get along.

The thing is that the Seven Demons and their client have misunderstood thesituation. Jack is not upset. In fact, he’s grateful for the clarification. Jack is the kindof guy who adapts well to new business models. He has a unique approach toexecutive problem solving. In fact, Jack is batshit crazy. And when you mess withJack, there is a Price to be paid.

AuthorAIDAN TRUHEN lives in London. He worked in commodities of one sort or anotheruntil he was thirty, which is an age when a man wants his positive achievements tooutnumber his acquittals. He's trying to reinvent himself as a writer. We'll see how itgoes.

Reviews“The Price You Pay is brilliant, a latticework of barbed jokes and subtleobservations and inventive misbehaviors, a high-end thriller, relentlessly knowing,relentlessly brutal. It reads like Martin Amis on mescaline.”—Charles Finch, The New York Times Book Review“This hell-for-leather, scurrilously funny thriller is simply dazzling.”—Adam Woog, The Seattle Times“This novel has high-octane everything. It’s a witty, gory, whiplash revenge talenarrated by a brilliantly entertaining sociopath. You’re mortified by the things you findyourself laughing at – and when you turn the page, there’s more. Guess what: youkeep laughing.”—Carl Hiaasen, author of Razor Girl

“A blistering fast, rat-a-tat urban thriller.” —Kirkus “Reminiscent of James Joyce and South Park at the same time … Breathtaking,disturbing, great! … As cocky as punk in the ‘70’s, as cynical as Bret Easton Ellis’sAmerican Psycho, as fast-paced as Don Winslow in the 2000s. And socontemporary that one gets dizzy.” —Marcus Muntefering, Der Spiegel

From the Earth to the MoonDover Thrift EditionsJules Verne

DescriptionNearly a century before NASA, a visionary novelist wrote this adventure classicabout an international space race. Jules Verne's eerily prophetic fantasy unfolds atthe close of the Civil War, as three artillerymen resolve to build a gun big enough topropel a manned rocket to the moon. Enlivened by broad satire, this rollicking talerecounts the launch of three astronauts from a Florida peninsula and their return toEarth in a splash landing.Acclaimed as "the man who invented the future," Verne wrote with uncannyaccuracy about space, air, and underwater travel long before they were realpossibilities. A pioneer of science fiction, he endowed his stories with a freshnessand verve that keep them vital for modern readers. This edition features an excellenttranslation from the original French publication by Verne's foremost interpreter,Edward Roth, and 17 enchanting illustrations.

Author"The reason Verne is still read by millions today," declared Arthur C. Clarke, "issimply that he was one of the best storytellers who ever lived." Jules Verne startedout composing librettos, but the French-born author's passion for travel andexploration compelled him to turn to adventure tales, creating the prototype fortoday's science fiction. One of the most translated authors in the world, he is bestknown for his classics: Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty ThousandLeagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.

Exposed

Jean-Philippe Blondel, Alison Anderson

Description"Captivating ... The novel flies by with gentle humor, but it also poses complexquestions about the meaning of art and sexuality, and offers an elegiac look at latemiddle age ... Irresistible, and the story’s fundamental kindness sets it apart."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)A French teacher on the verge of retirementis invited to a glittering opening that showcases the artwork of his former student,who has since become a celebrated painter.

The novel flies by with gentle humor,but it also poses complex questions about the meaning of art and sexuality, andoffers an elegiac look at late middle age ... Irresistible, and the story’s fundamentalkindness sets it apart."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)“A novel of tender, shywisdom whose characters remind each other that memory lives in the body,loosened like knots by the right touch,Exposed reconciles old age to its theme ofregret. It is, however, Blondel’s true talent that we embrace that regret—not only asan opportunity for joy, but as a polestar to guide us places we’d never have gonewithout it.”—Patrick Nathan, author ofSome Hell“Blondel writes superbly.”―LeMonde“What makes Jean-Philippe Blondel’s universe so precious is above all itsmuffled nostalgia and delightful charm.”—Le Figaro“The magic of this intimate novel... plunges into the depths of the heart of its two heroes; one seizing the ‘essence ofthe other’ who agrees to put himself in absolute danger with a sort of perversepleasure.”—Livres HebdoPraise forThe 6:41 to Paris by Jean-Philippe Blondel: "Astrong plot and a touching portrayal of how any of us might feel when unexpectedlyconfronted by the detritus of young love ...

The Reckoning: A Novel

John Grisham

Description#1 New York Times bestselling author John Grisham’s newest thriller is asouthern gothic epic for the 21st century.

Pete Banning was Clanton, Mississippi’s favorite son—a decorated World War IIhero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithfulmember of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning he rose early,drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed his pastor andfriend, the Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder weren’t shocking enough, it waseven more baffling that Pete’s only statement about it—to the sheriff, to his lawyers,to the judge, to the jury, and to his family—was: “I have nothing to say.” He was notafraid of death and was willing to take his motive to the grave.

In a major novel unlike anything he has written before, John Grisham takes us onan incredible journey, from the Jim Crow South to the jungles of the Philippinesduring World War II; from an insane asylum filled with secrets to the Clantoncourtroom where Pete’s defense attorney tries desperately to save him.

Reminiscent of the finest tradition of Southern Gothic storytelling, The Reckoningwould not be complete without Grisham’s signature layers of legal suspense, and hedelivers on every page.

Story Locale: Clanton, Mississippi

Publication History: Doubleday HC (10/18)

AuthorJohn Grisham is the author of thirty-one novels, one work of nonfiction, a collectionof stories, and six novels for young readers.Author Residence: Charlottesville, VAAuthor Hometown: Jonesboro, AR

Reviews“The quest for justice is only the beginning in this Southern-familysaga…Grisham does so much more this time around .”—Associated Press “John Grisham is not only the master of suspense but also an acute observer of thehuman condition. And these remarkable skills converge in The Reckoning—anoriginal, gripping, penetrating novel that may be his greatest work yet.”—David Grann, New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the FlowerMoon “John Grisham is the master of legal fiction, and his latest starts with a literalbang — and then travels backward through the horrors of war to explore whatmakes a hero, what makes a villain, and how thin the line between the two mightbe.”—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Spark ofLight and Small Great Things

“In this saga of love and war, John Grisham has given us a sprawling andengrossing story about a southern family, a global conflict, and the kinds of secretsthat can shape all of us. From the courtrooms and jails of rural Mississippi to thewar-torn Pacific, Grisham spins a tale that is at once entertaining andilluminating.”—Jon Meacham, New York Times bestselling author of The Soul of America

“When a master of storytelling and suspense takes on one of the most wrenchingstories in history, the result is a book that will break your heart, set your bloodpumping and your mind racing, and leave you gasping for breath by the finalpage. I’m still trying to recover from The Reckoning.” –Candice Millard, New York Times bestselling author of The River ofDoubt and Destiny of the Republic

Miss PinkertonAmerican Mystery ClassicsMary Roberts Rinehart, Carolyn Hart

DescriptionMiss Adams is a nurse, not a detective—at least, not technically speaking. But whileworking as a nurse, one does have the opportunity to see things police can’t seeand an observant set of eyes can be quite an asset when crimes happen behindclosed doors. Sometimes Detective Inspector Patton rings Miss Adams when heneeds an agent on the inside. And when he does, he calls her “Miss Pinkerton” afterthe famous detective agency.

Everyone involved seems to agree that mild-mannered Herbert Wynne wasn’t thetype to commit suicide but, after he is found shot dead, with the only other possiblekiller being his ailing, bedridden aunt, no other explanation makes sense. Now theelderly woman is left without a caretaker and Patton sees the perfect opportunity toemploy Miss Pinkerton’s abilities. But when she arrives at the isolated countrymansion to ply her trade, she soon finds more intrigue than anyone outside couldhave imagined and—when she realizes a killer is on the loose—more terror as well.

Reprinted for the first time in twenty years, Miss Pinkerton is a suspenseful tale ofmadness and murder. The book served as the basis for a 1932 film with the sametitle, and its titular character appeared in several others of Rinehart’s most popularnovels.

AuthorMary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958) was the most beloved and best-selling mysterywriter in America in the first half of the twentieth century. Born in Pittsburgh to theowner of a sewing machine factory, she wrote fiction in her spare time until a stockmarket crash sent her and her husband into debt, forcing her to lean on her writing topay the bills. Her first two novels, The Circular Staircase (1908) and The Man inLower Ten (1909), established her as a bright young talent, and it wasn’t long beforeshe was a regular on bestseller lists.Among her dozens of novels were The AmazingAdventures of Letitia Carberry (1911) and The Bat (1932), which was among theinspirations for Bob Kane’s Batman. Today, Rinehart is often called an AmericanAgatha Christie, even though she was much more popular than Christie during herheyday.Carolyn Hart is a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master and the author of sixtynovels, including twenty-seven titles in the Death on Demand series, which follows abookseller-turned-sleuth in a South Carolina mystery bookstore. Her work hasreceived numerous accolades, including Agatha, Anthony, and McCavity Awards.

Allan Retzky

DescriptionA web of deceit spins out of control in this terrorizing psychological thriller.Amos Posner has a lovely house in the upscale Hamptons beach community ofeastern Long Island. But recent events in Amos's life are preventing him fromenjoying it. His employer, an international trading firm, fired him after making him thescapegoat for some shady business deals. His wife, a highly successful Manhattanlawyer, has not taken kindly to his job situation, and their marriage is underconsiderable stress.

Amos is spending most of his time at the beach house, alone, and not at all happy.So he is highly vulnerable when a beautiful woman approaches him on a bus—theHampton Jitney—from Manhattan to the Hamptons and persuades him to show heraround the area on her day off from her job as a psychiatric resident at a Manhattanhospital. When Amos reluctantly agrees, he gets far more than an ego boost. Hegets a nightmare beyond imagination. And the cascading events could cost himmore than the loss of his job and his wife. They could cost him his life.

AuthorIn his debut novel, Vanished in the Dunes , Allan Retzky draws on his technical andbusiness background and his extensive international experience with multiplecultures to explore flaws that lead his characters into tense, terror-filled situations.

Reviews“Nail-biting tension as an innocent man digs himself an ever deeper holein the murder of a sexy Hamptons visitor. I may never park at Montauk's scenicoverlook again!”—Helen Simonson, New York Times best-selling author “Vanishedin the Dunes is an exquisitely crafted mystery that keeps the reader guessing untilthe very last page. Allan Retzy's characters inhabit the upper echelons of Hamptonssociety, but below the smooth, calm surface of their privileged lives, nothing is whatit seems. On a chilly morning in May, Amos Posner's day begins with a quiet ridehome to Amagansett on the Hampton Jitney—but ends in unexpected catastrophe.His actions set in motion a chain of events that will forever alter his life and hisperceptions of human nature and its deep-rooted folly. A masterful, excitingdebut!”—Kaylie Jones, author of Lies My Mother Never Told Me “Retzky andDostoyevsky—what? Both have used the power and fascination of murder. Butmurder turned inside-out. Retzky's is a study of guilt, of small panicked mistakes thatlead to more innocent death. And the fact that it all happens in the off-seasonHamptons? Delicious.”—Clark Blaise, author of The Meagre Tarmac “VERDICTDostoyevsky lives! This debut psychological thriller’s stomach-tightening tensionbuilds as the growing cast of players demonstrates how bad choices rarely pay off.For fans of moral conundrum authors, such as Jo Bannister and Scott Turow.”—Library Journal

"A satirical take on the contemporary art scene--smart, witty and eye opening. Thisgripping tale throws back the curtain on a world of secrets and intrigue."—-- Liv Constantine, international bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish

—

"A ridiculously propulsive page turner. Barbara Bourland has written a 'du Maurier-esque' literary thriller about sexual jealousy and artistic legacy, a gorgeouslyscathing critique of the New York art scene, and a warning about the deadlyconsequences of stifling female expression. Could. Not. Put. It. Down."—Lisa Gabriele, author of The Winters

MarketingKey points

NEW TWIST ON A CLASSIC: Inspired by Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca,Barbara Bourland's reimagining of the beloved classic updates it withmodern, feminist twist--but preserves all the horror-tinged, claustrophobicpsychological angst of the original.

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED WRITER: I'll Eat When I'm Dead got incrediblerave reviews from the likes of Kirkus ("Death by beauty was never so muchfun"), the NY Post ("Will have readers snorting with laughter"), US Weekly,Fortune, Tampa Bay Times, and more, and was a People May 2016 Pick anda Refinery 29 Best Book of 2017.

CULTURALLY RELEVANT: Barbara Bourland perfectly captures--andskewers--the ridiculous dichotomy between the idealistic, poor young artistsstruggling to make their names in the art scene, and the fabulously wealthypatrons who drop millions on the work of those who do manage to breakthrough. With today's ever-widening wealth gap, the absurdity of thisglamorous world feels desperately relevant.

ReviewsPraise for END OF THE OCEAN "In END OF THE OCEAN, Matt McBrides strikesan incredible balance between his signature dark humor and pulp sensibility whiletelling an incredibly thoughtful and intimate story. This isn't just a step up from hisprevious books—it's an evolution.”—Rob Hart, author of THE WOMAN FROMPRAGUE and THE WAREHOUSEPraise for the novels of Matthew McBride“Matthew McBride’s new novel, A Swollen Red Sun, is rough and ready suspense,encompassing a wide array of characters from the sour side of life, and smashingthem together with vigorous and blunt prose.” —Daniel Woodrell, author of TheMaid’s Version and Winter’s Bone “The words practically vibrate off the page inMatthew McBride’s amped-up and intricately plotted novel about meth freaks anddirty cops, A Swollen Red Sun. Filled with scenes of both tremendous brutality andheartrending compassion, it is the best fictional depiction of the current drugepidemic raging across the Midwest that I have ever read.” —Donald Ray Pollock,author of Knockemstiff and The Devil All the Time “A Swollen Red Sun, simply put, isan epic piece of modern crime fiction. But within that, McBride never loses his senseof powerful intimacy with the characters, their lives, their families, and theirdemons.” —Todd Robinson, author of The Hard Bounce and editor of Thuglit“Memorable, unique, and at times, even haunting. Every character rings true fromthe feckless to the noble to the downright frightening. . . . [With] dark country humor,A Swollen Red Sun is a must read.” —Johnny Shaw, Anthony Award–winningauthor of Big Maria and Plaster City “Matthew McBride is one of those rare writerswho can have you reeling in shock one minute, and laughing out loud the next.” —John Rector, author of Already Gone “Make no mistake, McBride is the king ofChainsaw Noir, and there’s no one else who can step to the throne.” —ChuckWendig, author of Blackbirds “Matthew McBride writes like a train doing 80 miles anhour towards a curve rated for 30. The doors are rattling, the couplings arescreaming, and you’re riding the blind, hoping like hell that the destination lives up tothe ride. Which it does, and more. Matthew McBride is exactly my kind of writer, andSwollen Red Sun is precisely my kind of book.” —Benjamin Whitmer, author of CryFather “Matthew McBride is an American original. His dialogue crackles like a brushfire and he has a rare gift for pitch-perfect details that breathe life into each andevery character. There’s no other writer I know whose prose could sear paint off awall.” —Hilary Davidson, Anthony Award–winning author of Blood Always Tells“Read [Frank Sinatra in a Blender] in a day. Loved it!” —Charlie Sheen “McBride’snovel combines the backwoods creepiness ofNic Pizzolatto’s HBO series True

When Jordanian student Siwar Salaiha is murdered on her birthday in College Park,Maryland, her consciousness survives, finding refuge in the body of a Seattle babyboy. Stuck in this speech delayed three-year old body, Siwar tries but fails tocommunicate with Wyatt’s parents, instead she focuses on solving the mysterybehind her murder.

His investigation forces him to open a door he has kept shut all his life, aspiritual connection to an unknown entity that he frequently refused to acknowledge.His leads take him to Amman, Jordan where after talking to her friends and familymembers and through his special connection with the deceased, he discovers a cluethat unravels the mystery of her death. Will Siwar get justice after all?

Her byline hasappeared in theWashington Post,Al Jazeera,Huffington Post, and theJordan Times,among many other outlets.

ReviewsAcclaim forThey Called Me Wyatt

“Compelling and original! I loved following the unique voice and plotting to find outwho killed Siwar. Definitely recommend for anyone who loves cross-cultural novels,mysteries, or just a great book.”—Samantha Downing, author ofMy Lovely Wife

“They Called Me Wyatt is a brilliantly imaginative and riveting tale of cross culturesas well as personal triumph and struggle. It is a great page-turner and the author isable to weave details and focus on the larger questions of life and love.”—Rana F. Sweis , author ofVoices of Jordan

“An intriguing novel that had me instantly engaged. With original plotting andcharacters I adored, this was a quick read that kept my turning the pages as fast asI could to find out who killed Siwar and why. The book expertly blurs genres, a littlethriller and a little supernatural, and I love that it takes place in both Jordan and theUS. The voice of Wyatt himself as he grows is eloquently done. I enjoyed thischaracter-driven thriller.”—Christina McDonald, author ofThe Night Olivia Fell

“A rich, inventive story of violence, gender, and rebirth. I loved following Siwar’svoice from Amman to College Park and into the mind of Wyatt.”—Julia Phillips, author ofDisappearing Earth

“I just fell in love with the characters in this story. The entire case is so flawed andreal. The whole world created by the author is gray, in the best way possible. Noone is perfect and yet I still liked all of them: Siwar, Wyatt, Hoda, Krista, each one intheir own way. There were a few villains but mostly this is a story of people, eachtrying to make his or her way in the world and find some way to belong, some way toexist, and some way to be at peace, which I appreciated so muchand reallyconnected with.”—Felicia Grossman, author ofAppetites & Vices

“I grew up in West Amman in the eighties and nineties, and later on in my life Idecided to become a writer. I felt that our stories, the stories of people living in thisarea and that time have been rarely told. As if that “westernized” part of the city isnot good enough to be part of the overall cultural scene of the country. That’s why

Sleepless Summer

Bram Dehouck, Jonathan Reeder

DescriptionSeasons come and go in provincial Blaashoek, where the town’s superficialharmony is upended by the arrival of a wind farm. The irritating hum of the turbineskeeps butcher Herman Bracke awake at night. He falls prey to a deadly fatigue andgradually loses control over his work, setting off a series of blood-curdling eventswith fatal consequences for the townspeople.Bram Dehouck(Belgium) was the firstauthor ever to win both the Golden Noose and the Shadow Award, the two mostprestigious prizes for Dutch crime writing. Compared to the work of Stephen King,Dehouck’s characteristic black humor and concise, punchy prose make for arefreshing take on the modern thriller.

AuthorBRAM DEHOUCK (Belgium) was the first author ever to win both the Golden Nooseand the Shadow Award, the two most prestigious prizes for Dutch crime writing, forthe same novel: De minzame moordenaar (‘The Mild-Mannered Murderer’).Sleepless Summer, his second novel, was again awarded the Golden Noose and theKnack Hercule Poirot Public Prize, and was nominated for the Crimezone BestThriller Award.

Reviews‘Dehouck creates a melancholic and wistful atmosphere in a world dominated bydark egocentrism. Uncanny, original and haunting’ —Flanders Literature ‘Followingthe lives of various inhabitants of a sleepy village who, increasingly rapidly, turn theirsurroundings into a living hell, is one of Stephen King’s trademarks. Dehouck isbetter at it—without involving the occult or taking up more pages than necessary’ —NRC Handelsblad ‘Dehouck obviously loves the writtenword and manipulates it withimpressive precision. It is a small miracle how he brings to life over twentycharacters in barely two hundred pages’ —Het Parool ‘A gem. With A SleeplessSummer, this Flemish writer proves that his award-winning book De MinzameMoordenaar (‘The Mild-Mannered Murderer’) wasn’t just a one†off success’ —Algemeen Dagblad ‘Masterly. Definitely worthy of the Golden Noose prize’ —VrijNederland ‘A worthy successor to Reservoir Dogs’ —Knack ‘A Sleepless Summer isa surprising book that exudes an atmosphere of melancholy. The minutedescriptions of the events in the village lead almost unnoticed to a furious finale’ —Thrillerweb ‘A tragicomic novel about a small community that is increasinglydisrupted’ —MPO Books ‘It’s like the blackest version of Midsomer Murders youcould possibly imagine, infused with the dark, psychological tinge of the finestScandinavian crime fiction. I loved it’ —Raven Crime Reads ‘A compact and originalstory, with a heart-stopping denouement. Dehouck writes effectively and concisely.With the right words in the right place, he only needs a few pen strokes to get to theheart of his story. A beautiful book, a relief’ —JURY, GOLDEN NOOSE AWARDS‘In this book everything is exactly right and everything is the result of somethingelse. A Sleepless Summer is really well written and equally well conceived’ —DeLees Fabriek ‘The language is compact and effective; this is a book that neverbores. A beautiful, compact, universal, and exciting story about how a seeminglyinsignificant occurrence can lead to unprecedented disaster. Bram Dehouck onceagain proves his talent with this exciting and often comical novel’ —Misdaadromans.nl ‘An incredible story in which everything is perfect’ —ThrillersLeestafel

JamaicaBlood & PlunderCraig Gallant

DescriptionThis is the first in a new series of historical fiction that is somewhere between"Treasure Island" and "Black Sails" that will be cross marketed by the tabletop game"Blood and Plunder"

AuthorCraig is from Bedford New Hampshire where he does his best to warp space andtime to fit far more activity into each day than anyone, including his wife, thinkswould be advisable.

He is husband to aremarkably supportive wife and father to clearly the smartest, cutest, and mostpromising three year old on the planet (an entirely objective assessment). Craigplays games whenever he can find the time and the opponents, ranging from hisrecent favorite, a classic South American dice game called Perudo, to whatever thelocal tabletop war-game flavor of the month happens to be. And in all thevoluminous free-time this schedule allows, Craig writes.

Always an avid reader and a writer for his own pleasure, recently Craig has beenable to parlay that dream into a stunningly-exciting reality. For two years now Craighas written articles, rules, short stories, and background fiction for companies suchas Spartan Games and Fantasy Flight Games. In August of 2012 Craig partnered upwith the freshly-minted Outlaw Miniatures, where he spent the next nine monthswriting over 100,000 words worth of supportive fiction establishing the entire gameuniverse for their new Wild West Exodus. In that time he was also hired as the leadwriter for a line of comic books taking place in the same universe. And now, themost recent chapter in this ever-rising rollercoaster of coolness, Craig prepares toembark on his newest adventure, more excited than words can convey to set hiskeyboard to bringing the new life to the history of pirates

Complete Chester Gould's Dick Tracy Volume 26DICK TRACY #26Chester Gould

DescriptionThe adventures of the iconic square-jawed detective fighting a menagerieof bizarre villains remains one of the highlights in the history of not just comics, butcrime fiction in general.

Having returned to policing duty on Planet Earth, former Space Sheriff Tracy finds aworld markedly changed from the one he left. Feeling handcuffed by expanded legalprotections afforded suspects and stricter guidelines of evidence, Tracy all but begsbad guys to shoot first, and he may get his wish, thanks to nemeses such asexplosion-crazed Jonny Scorn, the hand-grenade toting revolutionary called ElTigress, and the aptly-named Dope King, in a story that features Tracy's most directassault on drug traffickers, coinciding with Richard Nixon's "War on Drugs!"

These early '70s adventures also see the dauntless detective facing off against oneof the strip's best late-era grotesque villains: Pouch, who uses a repulsive hiddenflap in his neck to hide anything from stolen diamonds to automatic pistols. The plotalso features a rare return by an earlier villain, as the Mole is released from prisonafter serving nineteen years, only to learn his granddaughter, Molene, is part ofPouch's gang!

All this, plus: Tracy grows a mustache, Groovy seems to fall for a certain long-legged policewoman, and Gravel Gertie tries to figure out the mysterious linkbetween the world's oldest tattoo artist and a million dollars in missing gems. Finally,an attempted burglary of rare metals from Diet Smith's plant introduces PeanutButter, the smartest kid in the strip since Brilliant, the inventor of the Two-Way WristRadio.

Volume 26 reprints all dailies and Sundays from December 24, 1970 to September27, 1972.

AuthorChester Gould (1900-1985) was born in Pawnee, Oklahoma, the son of anewspaperman and grandson of a circuit-riding preacher. He attended OklahomaA&M (now Oklahoma State University) before transferring to NorthwesternUniversity in Chicago, from which he graduated in 1923. He produced the minorcomic strips Fillum Fables and The Radio Catts before striking it big with Dick Tracyin 1931. Originally titled Plainclothes Tracy, the rechristened strip became one of themost successful and lauded comic strips of all time, as well as a media andmerchandising sensation. He was twice accorded the "Cartoonist of the Year"Reuben Award by his peers. Gould continued to write and illustrate Dick Tracy untilhis retirement in 1977.

Reviews“Chester Gould introduced a new hard-hitting type of realism [that] marked a radicaland historic departure: the comics were no longer just funny.”—Jerry Robinson, TheComics“Chester Gould’s paragon of avenging normalcy was not your average, tough-guydetective. A unique combination of brawn and brains, he prefigured a whole newbreed of scientific sleuths, whose recourse to technical innovations in criminologygave them the edge on grifters and hoods.”—Robert Storr, Dean, Yale UniversitySchool of Art (from Masters of American Comics)

“How can The Swimmer be a first novel? It is dazzling not only in its plotting andcharacter portraits, but in the sophistication of its structure, which keeps usbreathless and guessing. An impressive and memorable work, comparable to thebest of John le Carré.”

— Joseph Finder, author of Suspicion on The Swimmer

“Impressively complex characters and stark atmospherics make this a thematicallyprofound read.”

— Publishers Weekly on The Believer

When Alex and Bea’s parents make a surprise visit, Dan can’tunderstand why Bea is so appalled, or why she’s never wanted him to know them;Liv and Griff Adamson are charming, and rich. They are the richest people he hasever met. Maybe Bea’s ashamed of him, or maybe she regrets the secrets she’sbeen keeping.

The Magic Christian

Terry Southern

DescriptionAs the novelist ofFlash and Filigree andThe Magic Christian and cowriter ofDr.Strangelove andEasy Rider, Terry Southern helped define the sixties. Now, sixtyyears later, his dark humor and biting satire of American society and all itscorruption, sex, money, status, power, and stardom, takes on new relevance.

When Dwight Garner reviewed the anniversary edition of Southern’sCandy intheNew York Times he pointed to its significance in today’s political climate, statingthat “Candy works in the era of #MeToo in part because it so coyly subverts themale gaze. The men who leer after Candy are truly fatuous primates, fit for little butgibbering at the moon.” In this 60th anniversary edition ofThe Magic Christian, wehave another searing Southern comic novel—this one a story of a mayhem-makingbillionaire, and a reminder of just how entrenched American greed and corruption isin our history.

Sir Guy Grand is determined to create disorder in the material world and willing tospare no expense to do it. His ultimate goal is to prove his theory that there isnothing so degrading or so distasteful that someone won’t do for money. A satire ofAmerica’s obsession with bigness, toughness, TV, guns, and money,The MagicChristian is a hilarious and wickedly original novel from a true comic genius.

AuthorTerry Southern (1924–1995) is the bestselling author ofCandy,Flash andFiligree,Blue Movie, andRed-Dirt Marijuana and Other Tastes . An Academy Award–nominated screenwriter, his film credits includeDr. Strangelove,EasyRider,Barbarella,The Loved One, andThe Cincinnati Kid, as well as an adaptationofThe Magic Christian.

Reviews“I started reading The Magic Christian and I thought I was going to go insane . . . Itwas an incredible influence on me.”?—Hunter S. Thompson“Terry Southern is the most profoundly witty writer of our generation, and in TheMagic Christian he surpasses Flaubert’s Bouvard et Pécuchet, a work similarlyinspired by conventional wisdom’s serene idiocy.”—Gore Vidal
