Shadow Falls: The Beginning Born at Midnight and Awake at Dawn

C. C. Hunter

The spectacular first two books in The New York Times bestselling Shadow Falls series at one irresistible price

Step into the world of Shadow Falls, a camp that helps teens tap into their special talents. Once you visit, you’ll never forget it—and you’ll never, ever be the same. One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever.  Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, but the kids at Shadow Falls are far from ordinary. They’re supernatural—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world. And from the moment Kylie Galen arrives this world of fairies, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters, she’s had one burning question: What am I? Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either.  Or does she?  They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason, if she can only figure out her own supernatural identity and what her burgeoning powers mean. As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas. Derek’s a half-fae who’s determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin’ hot werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past. Both Derek and Lucas couldn’t be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart. Yet romance will have to wait, because something from the dark side of the supernatural world is hiding in Shadow Falls.  It’s about to threaten everything she holds dear . . . and bring her closer to her destiny.

Spring Fever Mary Kay Andrews

The New York Times bestselling author of Summer Rental delivers a delicious escapist novel about small towns, old flames, and deep secrets

Annajane Hudgens truly believes she is over her ex-husband, Mason Bayless, and she has absolutely no problem attending his wedding to the beautiful and delightful Celia.  Celia: the woman everyone in town adores.  Everyone, that is, except for Annajane and her lifelong best friend, Patricia “Pokey” Bayless. When fate intervenes and the wedding is suddenly called to a halt, Annajane wonders if maybe she’s been given a second chance. Maybe everything happens for a reason. And maybe, just maybe, she wants Mason back. But there are secrets afoot in this small town. Passcoe, North Carolina, is the home of Quixie Cherry Soda, which has been in the Bayless family for generations. Anyone born in Passcoe is raised on cherry soda and its mascot, Dixie the Quixie Pixie, but now change is on the horizon. Annajane soon sees that these changes can bring out the worst in people and uncover long-hidden family scandals. And even though there are people determined to keep Annajane from getting what she wants, happiness could be hers for the taking, and the life she once had with Mason in this sleepy little lake town could be in her future. That is, if she can find out what she’s really made of and what really matters most to her. Told with Mary Kay Andrews’s warmth, wit, and knack for creating characters who make you stand up and cheer, Spring Fever goes down best with a cool drink and an uninterrupted stretch of beach reading pleasure.

LEAD

Phenom The Making of Bryce Harper

Rob Miech

"The remarkable story of Bryce Harper’s unforgettable ride from Morse Stadium to the top of the baseball draft" (Jayson Stark, ESPN.com) updated to include his Rookie of the Year season!

Before he famously became a Major League All-Star as a teenager, Harper already had dominated high school competition like Mickey Mantle on the playground and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which dubbed him the "most exciting prodigy since LeBron James." Seeking greater tests as a hitter, the precocious star got his GED after his sophomore year and enrolled at the College of Southern Nevada, where he would face future pro pitchers in a difficult wooden-bat league. Sportswriter Rob Miech was "embedded" with the team—in the dugout and locker room and on team buses and in motel rooms—to provide a warts-and-all account of a boy among men playing like a man among boys. Amid fascinating personal stories including the dynamics between a veteran coach and Harper's overprotective father, the jealousies of teammates and opponents, and the sudden descent of press armies on a tiny college field, the author chronicles a season-long experiment that culminates in Harper leading the Coyotes to the Junior College World Series and signing a $9.9 million contract negotiated by notorious agent Scott Boras. Sporting a fresh cover and a bonus chapter that covers Harper’s award-winning rookie season with the Washington Nationals, this expanded edition of Phenom gives fans an all-access pass to baseball’s newest rising star.

PRAISE

We just witnessed the greatest season by a teenage position player in baseball history." —Tom Verducci, MLB NetworkPraise for Phenom (a CASEY Award finalist):

"A fascinating eyewitness account, a baseball version of the Beatles in Hamburg circa 1961." —Steve Rushin, Sports Illustrated

"Rob Miech rides the bench and the buses to craft a stirring story of a young man, an extraordinary dream and an amazing baseball season." —Tim Brown, MLB writer, Yahoo! Sports "[Miech] captures Harper’s maturation by fire and growing celebrity." —Publishers Weekly

ROB MIECH has won several awards in his twenty-three year long career as a sportswriter with his work appearing in many publications including CBS Sportsline, MLB.com, The Washington Post, and many others.

Most Talkative Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture

Andy Cohen

The man behind the Real Housewives writes about his lifelong love affair with pop culture that brought him from the suburbs of St. Louis to his own television show

From a young age, Andy Cohen knew one thing: He loved television. Not in the way that most kids do, but in an irrepressible, all-consuming, I-want-to-climb-inside-the-tube kind of way. And climb inside he did. Now presiding over Bravo's reality TV empire, he started out as an overly talkative pop culture obsessive, devoted to Charlie's Angels and All My Children and to his mother, who received daily letters from Andy at summer camp, usually reminding her to tape the soaps. In retrospect, it's hard to believe that everyone didn't know that Andy was gay; still, he remained in the closet until college. Finally out, he embarked on making a career out of his passion for television.

The journey begins with Andy interviewing his all-time idol Susan Lucci for his college newspaper and ends with him in a job where he has a hand in creating today's celebrity icons. In the witty, no-holds-barred style of his show Watch What Happens Live, Andy tells tales of absurd mishaps during his ten years at CBS News, hilarious encounters with the heroes and heroines of his youth, and the real stories behind The Real Housewives. Dishy, funny, and full of heart, Most Talkative provides a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the world of television, from a fan who grew up watching the screen and is now inside it, both making shows and hosting his own.

ANDY COHEN is Bravo's executive vice president of Development and Talent, responsible for overseeing the production of such hits as Top Chef and The Real Housewives franchises. In addition, Cohen is the host and executive producer of Watch What Happens Live, Bravo's late-night, interactive talk show. He also hosts the network's reunion specials. He's won an Emmy and two Peabody Awards for his work, and he lives in New York City.

Where We Belong Emily Giffin

From the author of five New York Times bestselling novels comes the unforgettable story of one powerful secret, its effect on two families, and the life-altering journey that follows

Marian Caldwell is a thirty-six-year-old television producer living her dream in New York City. With a fulfilling career and satisfying relationship, she has convinced everyone, including herself, that her life is just as she wants it to be. But one night, Marian answers a knock on the door . . . only to find Kirby Rose, an eighteen-year-old girl with a key to a past that Marian thought she had sealed off forever. From the moment Kirby appears on her doorstep, Marian’s perfectly constructed world—and her very identity—will be shaken to its core, resurrecting ghosts and memories of a passionate young love affair that threaten everything that has come to define her.

For the precocious and determined Kirby, the encounter will spur a process of self-discovery that ushers her across the threshold of adulthood, forcing her to reevaluate her family and future in a wise and bittersweet light. As the two women embark on a journey to find the one thing missing in their lives, each will come to recognize that where we belong is often where we least expect to find ourselves---a place that we may have willed ourselves to forget but that the heart remembers forever.

Destined P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast

The absolute must-read ninth installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling teen vampyre series, the House of Night—now in trade paperback

Zoey is finally home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side, and preparing to face off against Neferet—which would be a whole lot easier if the High Council saw the ex-High Priestess for what she really is. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx's gift of a human form, Rephaim and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together—if he can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father's shadow.

But there are new forces at work at the House of Night, including the mysterious Aurox, a jaw-droppingly gorgeous teen boy who is actually more—or possibly less—than human. Only Neferet knows he was created to be her greatest weapon. But Zoey can sense the part of his soul that remains human, the compassion that wars with his Dark calling. And there’s something strangely familiar about him . . . Will Neferet’s true nature be revealed before she succeeds in silencing them all? And will Zoey be able to touch Aurox’s humanity in time to protect him—and everyone—from his own fate?

A Good Man Rediscovering My Father, Sargent Shriver

Mark K. Shriver

In this intimate portrait of an extraordinary father-son relationship, Mark K. Shriver discovers the moral principles that guided his legendary father and applies them to his own life

When Sargent "Sarge" Shriver—founder of the Peace Corps and architect of President Johnson's War on Poverty—died in 2011 after a valiant fight with Alzheimer's, thousands of tributes poured in from friends and strangers worldwide. These tributes, which extolled the daily kindness and humanity of "a good man," moved his son Mark far more than those who lauded Sarge for his big-stage, headline-making accomplishments. After a lifetime searching for the path to his father's success in the public arena, Mark instead turns to a search for the secret of his father's joy, his devotion to others, and his sense of purpose. Mark discovers notes and letters from Sarge; hears personal stories from friends and family that zero in on the three guiding principles of Sarge's life—faith, hope, and love—and recounts moments with Sarge that now take on new value and poignancy. In the process, Mark discovers much about himself, as a father, as a husband, and as a social justice advocate. A Good Man is an inspirational and deeply personal story about a son discovering the true meaning of his father's legacy.

PRAISE

“Since most people are happiest doing what they are good at, it’s no wonder that Sargent Shriver was always smiling. He was good in every role he filled—husband, father, friend, public servant, and visionary. And he was as inspiring as they come. Mark’s poignant tribute captures the idealism and exuberance that made us all love Sarge, and reminds us to find pleasure in the simple act of living.” —President Bill Clinton

“This is a deeply touching story of a famous family and the private joys and trials that came with it. Mark’s love letter to his Dad is one we can all learn from.” —Tom Brokaw

 

MARK K. SHRIVER is the senior vice president of U.S. Programs at Save the Children in Washington, D.C. Shriver created the Choice Program, served in the Maryland state legislature for eight years, and was chair of the National Commission on Children and Disasters. He lives with his wife, Jeanne, and their three children, Molly, Tommy, and Emma, in Maryland.

Allergies, Away! Creative Eats and Mouthwatering Treats for Kids Allergic to Nuts, Dairy, and Eggs

Ginger Park and Frances Park

The essential guide to cooking delicious and healthy food for children with allergies, written by a mother and an aunt of a child with severe food allergies

When sisters Ginger and Frances Park opened up a chocolate shop in Washington, D.C., they couldn't wait to share their gourmet sweets with their friends and family. Unfortunately, Ginger's son, Justin, was born with severe food allergies, and even visiting the shop made Justin sick. Far from discouraged, Ginger and Frances vowed they would find alternatives for Justin that tasted better than the real thing. Inspired by their mission, Frances and Ginger wrote Allergies, Away!, a fun and healthy cookbook chock full of recipes for the millions of parents whose children have food allergies. This book features more than seventy recipes for kid-friendly foods like Seoulful Half-Moon Dumplings, Rock Star Onion Rings, and Orange Chocolate Muffins, and every recipe is free of dairy, nuts, and eggs. The recipes are easy enough to make with children, and Frances and Ginger include helpful tips for maximum fun in the kitchen. Perfect for parents who are sick of making bland and boring food for their allergic kids, Allergies, Away! is the ultimate guide to tasty, homemade food that is also allergen-free.

PRAISE

Delivers convenient, kid-friendly recipes to ensure a seamless transition for families with food allergies." —Alisa Fleming, founder of GoDairyFree.org and author of Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook

"Sweet and heartfelt, a conscientious book written with a mother's love. The personal allergy updates make the book relatable and comforting to any family, especially those newly diagnosed and facing life with a child with life-threatening food allergies." —Elizabeth Gordon, author of Allergy-Free Desserts

Sisters GINGER and FRANCES PARK are co-owners of the chocolate shop Chocolate Chocolate in Washington, D.C. They are the authors of Chocolate, Chocolate, which was also published by Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press. Ginger's son, Justin, suffers from severe food allergies, and he was the inspiration for this cookbook.

Don't Ever Get Old Daniel Friedman

"Once you start reading this wonderfully original and totally engrossing story, you’ll do what I did: keep reading . . . When I’m eighty-seven, I want to be Buck Schatz." —Nelson DeMille

Don't Ever Get Old is a smash hit, with starred reviews from Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Library Journal as well as raves from AARP Magazine, The Associated Press, and many more. Now, this completely original and superb mystery is poised to be a hugely successful paperback. When Buck Schatz, senior citizen and retired Memphis cop, learns that an old adversary may have escaped Germany with a fortune in stolen gold, Buck decides to hunt down the fugitive and claim the loot. But a lot of people want a piece of the stolen treasure, and Buck’s investigation quickly attracts unfriendly attention from a very motley (and murderous) crew. Funny, smart, and brilliant, this is a knock-out book from a prodigiously talented young author. "A funny and fast-paced tale of revenge as a dish best served ice-cold . . . Dan Friedman, mazel tov on putting the noir in senior!" —AARP Magazine "Getting old isn't fun, but reading about Buck coping with it and a slew of dirty deeds -- and possibly fatal adversaries—is." —The Associated Press

PRAISE

"Excellent debut . . .Wickedly funny dialogue." —Publishers Weekly (starred)

"A pitch-perfect debut novel, expertly balancing comedy, gritty crime drama, absurdity, and genuine poignancy...Highly recommended" —Mystery Scene

DANIEL FRIEDMAN grew up in Memphis and now lives in New York City.

North of Nowhere An Alex McKnight Novel

Steve Hamilton

Edgar-winning author Steve Hamilton’s fourth book in his bestselling Alex McKnight series, for the first time in trade paperback

It's summertime in Paradise, Michigan, and Alex McKnight is not happy. Instead of celebrating his forty-ninth birthday, Alex is dwelling on his "failures" as a ballplayer, a cop and now a private detective. Jackie, the Scottish proprietor of the bar/restaurant where Alex hangs out, is aware that Alex is becoming seriously reclusive, and persuades him to join a weekly poker game in the home of a newly rich contractor in the area. Reluctantly, Alex goes—and that night three armed men arrive, hold a gun to Alex's head, take the money from the owner's secret safe, beat up one of the players and flee. Alex and his erstwhile detective partner, Leon Prudell, can't avoid becoming involved in the search for answers. As events escalate and time runs out, Alex is forced to discover that not only is there no place to hide, but sometimes that can be a blessing.

PRAISE

Praise for Steve Hamilton: “A proven master of suspense.” —Lee Child “Already one of our best writers.” —Laura Lippman "Hamilton writes tough, passionate novels. . . . This is crime writing at its very best.” —George Pelecanos

Leading from Behind The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him

Richard Miniter

With a new chapter on the U.S. Embassy attacks in Benghazi, this controversial New York Times bestseller goes inside the divided Obama White House and the advisers who decide for the president

Contrary to the White House narrative, which aims to define Obama as a visionary leader, Leading from Behind reveals a president who is indecisive, moody, and often paralyzed by competing political considerations. Many victories—as well as several significant failures—during the Obama presidency are revealed to be the work of strong women, who led when the president did not: then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; and Valerie Jarrett, his closest adviser and an Obama family confidante, whose unusual degree of influence has been a source of conflict with veteran political insiders. In Leading from Behind, you will learn:

l Why Obama’s relationship with Israel was poisoned years before he met Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu

l The real reason for Valerie Jarrett’s strong hold over both Barack and Michelle Obama

l ObamaCare wasn’t Obama’s idea. It was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s. And the real reason he danced to her tune.

l Obama delayed and canceled the mission to kill Osama bin Laden three times and then committed an intelligence blunder that allowed dozens of high-level members of al Qaeda to escape

l Why Obama destroyed a secret budget deal with House Speaker John Boehner that would have reformed entitlements, slashed spending, and reduced the national debt—without raising taxes

RICHARD MINITER is the author of two top-ten New York Times bestsellers on foreign affairs, Losing Bin Laden and Shadow War, as well as Mastermind, a book on the hunt for and capture of terrorist leader Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.  He writes a column for Forbes and a weekly newspaper column on economics and global politics.  He has won awards from the National Press Club and the International  Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

Don't Cry, Tai Lake An Inspector Chen Novel

Qiu Xiaolong

“Fun and engaging . . . gives a quite unusual but believable insight into some of the mysteries and marvels of modern China." —The Economist

Chief Inspector Chen Cao of the Shanghai Police Department is offered a bit of luxury by friends and supporters within the Party — a week’s vacation at a luxurious resort near Lake Tai, a week where he can relax, and recover, undisturbed by outside demands or disruptions. Unfortunately, the once beautiful Lake Tai, renowned for its clear waters, is now covered by fetid algae, its waters polluted by toxic runoff from local manufacturing plants. Then the director of one of the manufacturing plants responsible for the pollution is murdered and the leader of the local ecological group is the primary suspect of the local police. Now Inspector Chen must tread carefully if he is to uncover the truth behind the brutal murder and find a measure of justice for both the victim and the accused.

PRAISE

“Filled with beautiful descriptions and poetry (Chen is poet as well as detective) that reinforce the beauty that is being polluted and lost. Magnificent.” —Booklist (starred)

“Odd, charming. . . . despite its political edge, the novel has an endearing innocence.”   —The Washington Post

“Told with clarity and elegance, [this] portrait of modern China is as intriguing as its slow-rolling whodunit.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Chen works within a corrupt system and feels acutely the compromises which must be made for progress, even within the scope of his investigations. Qiu masterfully paints shades of gray into a very Chinese tale.” —The Wall Street Journa...

QIU XIAOLONG is a poet and author of several previous novels featuring Inspector Chen as well as Years of Red Dust, a Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2010.  Born and raised in Shanghai, Xiaolong lives with his family in St. Louis, Missouri.

Double Time How I Survived---and Mostly Thrived---Through the First Three Years of Mothering Twins

Jane Roper

"Readable, relatable and genuinely funny . . . it’s like sharing a bottle of wine with a friend." —San Francisco Chronicle

What do you do when you find out you’re pregnant—times two?! When Jane Roper found out she was pregnant with twins, she searched high and low for a memoir of the first years with multiples but came up empty. Four years later, she wrote the book she wished she’d had as a new mother of twins. Double Time is an up-close and very personal look at Jane Roper's first three years raising twin daughters. From trying to get pregnant to round-the-clock feedings to the joy of watching "twinteractions" between her girls as their (very different!) personalities emerge, Jane tells all. Meanwhile, she struggles to keep a history of depression under control, and find answers when her symptoms get worse. Full of warmth, honesty, occasional advice and more than a little humor, Double Time is a smart and engaging account of the first three years of multiples, as well as a refreshingly candid take on depression and the quest for work-family balance. It’s a memoir that will resonate with all mothers, whether or not they have twins.

PRAISE

"It’s like sharing a bottle of wine with a friend." —San Francisco Chronicle

"Raising twins is maddening and masochistic yet worth every crazy moment. Jane Roper captures them all in her revealing, heart wrenching, hilarious memoir. As a mother of twins myself, I cackled and related on every page as Jane revealed the unvarnished truth about dealing with twins, depression and trying to ‘have it all.’" —Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, author of Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay: And Other Things I Had to Learn as a New Mom

Digital Vertigo How Today's Online Social Revolution Is Dividing, Diminishing, and Disorienting Us

Andrew Keen

"Provides an articulate, measured, contrarian voice against a sea of hype about social media." —Larry Downes, author of The Killer App

Does Mark Zuckerberg know what the word "friend" means? Why are we all becoming so addicted to Twitter? Should everyone really be broadcasting the most intimate details of their lives on Facebook, LinkedIn and Google +?  In Digital Vertigo, Andrew Keen exposes the latest Silicon Valley mania: today’s trillion dollar social networking revolution that is transforming the Internet. Every new online start-up, he reveals—from commerce to communications to entertainment—is now going social in a transformation called “Web 3.0”. In a fast-paced narrative set in London, San Francisco, Oxford and Amsterdam, Andrew Keen warns that what he calls this “cult of the social” is jeopardizing both our individual privacy and liberty. Using one of Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest films—Vertigo—as his starting point, he argues that social media, with its generation of massive amounts of personal data, is encouraging us to fall in love with something that is too good to be true—a radically transparent 21st century society in which we can all supposedly realize our authentic identities on the Internet. Digital Vertigo is the first substantial critique of Web 3.0. Written with his trademark humor and erudition, Digital Vertigo will make anyone who has ever questioned the purpose of Facebook or Twitter think more deeply about a social networking world in which, for better or worse, we are all now enmeshed.

PRAISE

“With a cold eye and a cutting wit, [Keen] reveals the grandiose claims of our new digital plutocrats to be little more than self-serving cant. Digital Vertigo provides a timely and

welcome reminder that having substance is more important than being transparent.” —Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains

"A bracing read. From Hitchcock to Mark Zuckerberg and the politics of privacy, a savvy observer of contemporary digital culture reframes current debates in a way that clarifies and enlightens." — Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together

ANDREW KEEN, author of critically acclaimed The Cult of the Amateur, is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur whose writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Economist and Wired. As the Founder and CEO of Audiocafe.com, Andrew has been featured in Esquire, Business 2.0 and Fast Company, etc. He is currently the host of Techcrunch's popular “Keen On” show, a regular columnist for CNN and a celebrated public speaker around the world. He lives in Santa Rosa, California.

The Flatiron The New York Landmark and the Incomparable City That Arose with It

Alice Sparberg Alexiou

"An engaging and informative account of the building's construction and its lasting place in New York's lore." —The Washington Post

Critics hated it. The public feared it would topple over. Passersby were knocked down by the winds. But even before it was completed, the Flatiron Building had become an unforgettable part of New York City.   This marvelously written book chronicles not just the construction of the building, but the changing technology and culture that characterized New York at the dawn of the twentieth century: Madison Square Park shifted from a promenade for rich women to gay prostitutes,  photography became an art, motion pictures came into existence; jazz came to the forefront of popular music—and all within steps of one of the city's best loved buildings.    “Alice Sparberg Alexiou's The Flatiron joins such books as Jill Jonnes's Conquering Gotham, about Pennsylvania Station, and Gail Fenske's The Skyscraper and the City, about the Woolworth Building, in a budding genre that we might call biographies of buildings.” —The Wall Street Journal PRAISE

"Though she ends on a note of permanence, as the landmarked and restored Flatiron is here to stay, Ms. Alexiou's book is ultimately about the never-ending change that rushes by in the city, and, in evoking that, she succeeds." —The New York Observer

"Alice Sparberg-Alexiou brings the building alive by profiling not only its owners and tenants but also the city's mixed reaction to it." —The Christian Science Monitor

ALICE SPARBERG ALEXIOU is the author of Jane Jacobs: Urban Visionary. She has been an editor of Lilith magazine and written for The New York Times and Newsday, among others. She is a graduate of Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and has a Ph.D. in classics from Fordham University. She lives in New York.

Black Jack Lora Leigh

A special trade paperback release of the fourth book in the bestselling Elite Ops series

A rule-breaking MI6 agent joins the Elite Ops team—and tangles with a beautiful woman  who may be trying to seduce him . . . or kill him . . . or both.

The Secret Service can’t control him. The British government can’t silence him. But renegade agent Travis Caine is one loose cannon you don’t want to mess with, so his commanders cut him a break—and cut him loose. His new HQ is America’s top intelligence force, Elite Ops. His new code name is “Black Jack.” And his new assignment is to die for.

She’s smart, sexy, scintillating—and one of Elite Ops’ savviest agents. Lillian Belle’s code name is “Night Hawk,” and Travis certainly wouldn’t mind flying a few midnight maneuvers with her. But when their mission turns into a red-hot game of danger, deceit, and double-crossed signals, Travis begins to wonder: Can he trust her? Can he resist her?

One Summer Two Novels

Elin Hilderbrand

A beautifully packaged two-in-one reissue of The Blue Bistro and The Love Season, by New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand

Just in time for summer vacation comes this reissue of two beloved Elin Hilderbrand classics, filled with double the sun, sand, drama and romance that fans love. In The Blue Bistro, Adrienne Dealey has decided to relocate to Nantucket after spending the past six years working for hotels in exotic resort towns. She's just trying to earn some quick money, never bargaining on Thatcher Smith, the owner of the hottest restaurant on the island. He's the only one to offer her a job, despite her lack of restaurant experience, and things seem to be going smoothly until Thatch makes Adrienne break one of her cardinal rules: Never date the boss. Should she open her heart for the first time, or move on, as she always does? In The Love Season, Marguerite Beale, former chef of culinary hot spot Les Parapluies, has been out of the public eye for over a decade. But this all changes with a phone call from her goddaughter, Renata Knox, whom Marguerite has not seen since the death of Renata’s mother fourteen years earlier. Now that Renata is on Nantucket visiting the family of her new fiancé, she takes the opportunity to contact Marguerite in hopes of learning the story of her own mother’s life—and death.  But the events of a day spiral hopelessly out of control for both women, and nothing ends up as planned. The Love Story is a riveting story that takes place in one day and spans decades.

The Inquisitor's Wife A Novel of Renaissance Spain

Jeanne Kalogridis

From the bestselling author of The Borgia Bride and The Scarlet Contessa comes a tale of love, loss and treachery set during the perilous days of the Spanish Inquisition

1481 Seville: The Inquisition makes its first appearance in Spain.  Its target: conversos, Christians of Jewish descent—specifically those who practice Judaism secretly in their homes. The penalty for “crypto-Judaism”: Burning at the stake.

Marisol Garcia, a young conversa, is hurriedly wed to Gabriel, a civil lawyer working for the Inquisition, in hopes that he will protect her. But she still yearns for the childhood love who abandoned her four years earlier, and she’s shocked when he reappears suddenly at her wedding.

When her father is arrested and tortured, Marisol finds herself caught between her love for him and her desire to save the lives of her people. After becoming a favorite of the ruthless Queen Isabella, Marisol discovers a dangerous secret about her former lover, Antonio, and finds herself trapped in a life-threatening web of intrigue. As the Inquisition’s snares tighten around her, Marisol’s love for Antonio and loyalty to her Jewish family is tested as never before…

The Inquisitor’s Wife reveals the real motivation behind the Inquisition, a frank glance at a “saintly” queen, and the struggles of a maligned people against crushing forces.

The Glass Wives A Novel

Amy Sue Nathan

A sparkling debut about the formation of unlikely friendships and the making of a modern family, in which a woman is compelled to live with her ex-husband’s widow after her passes away.

Evie and Nicole Glass share a last name. They also share a husband. Well, to be clear, Richard was Evie’s ex-husband, so that makes Nicole his second wife. Only now she’s his widow. A tragic car accident ended the life of Richard Glass. It also upended the lives of Evie and Nicole, and their children: Evie’s 10 year-old twins, Sophie & Sam, and Nicole’s 10-month-old baby, Luca. There’s no love lost between the ex and the widow. And in fact, Evie sees a silver lining in all this heartache—the chance to rid herself of Nicole once and for all. But she wasn’t counting on her children and their bond with their baby brother, and she wasn’t counting on Nicole’s desperate need to hang on to the threads of family, no matter how frayed.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, they say. And what happens next is living proof of the desperate state of these Glass wives. Evie and Nicole, both emotionally and financially spent by Richard’s death, agree to share living expenses—and Evie’s house. The arrangement, purely financial in Evie’s mind, has its benefits, such as a live-in babysitter. But when Evie suspects that Nicole is determined to rearrange more than her kitchen, she has to decide who she can trust. More than that, she has to decide what makes a family.

Perfect Chaos A Daughter's Journey to Survive Bipolar, a Mother's Struggle to Save Her

Linea Johnson and Cinda Johnson

"About the fierce, transformative love between a mother and daughter and how they both learn to share their truths.” —Glenn Close

The Johnsons were a close and loving family living in the Seattle area—two parents, two incomes, two bright and accomplished daughters. They led busy lives filled with music lessons, college preparation, career demands, and laughter around the dinner table. Then the younger daughter, Linea, started experiencing crippling bouts of suicidal depression. Multiple trips to the psych ward resulted in a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and it took many trial runs of drugs and ultimately electroshock therapy to bring Linea back. But her family never gave up on her. And Linea never stopped trying to find her way back to them.

Perfect Chaos is the story of a mother and daughter’s journey through mental illness towards hope. From initial worrying symptoms to long sleepless nights to cross-country flights and the slow understanding and rebuilding of trust, Perfect Chaos tells Linea and Cinda’s harrowing and inspiring story, of an illness that they conquer together every day. It is the story of a daughter’s courage, a mother’s faith, and the love that carried them through the darkest times.

House of Night: The Beginning Marked and Betrayed

PC Cast and Kristin Cast

A beautifully repackaged two-in-one reissue of Marked and Betrayed, the first two books in the #1 New York Times bestselling House of Night series

With more than 12 million books in print, rights sold in almost forty countries, and more than two years on The New York Times bestseller list (reaching as high as #1), the House of Night series is an international publishing sensation. Now, for a great value, new and old fans alike can go back to where it all began, with Marked and Betrayed, together for the first time in one beautiful paperback edition.

When sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is “Marked” by a vampyre tracker and begins to undergo the “Change” into an actual vampyre, she has to leave her family and move into the House of Night, a boarding school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for other fledgling vampyres like her. It’s tough to begin a new life away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling.  She has been singled out by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. Although Zoey has awesome new powers, it’s hard to fit in when everyone knows she's special. As she tries to make new friends and maybe find a hot boyfriend (or two), she comes up against all kinds of evil, from the perfect-looking, super-popular girl with not-so-faultless plans, to the mysterious deaths happening at the House of Night and all over Tulsa.  Things at the House of Night are not always what they seem.  Can Zoey find the courage deep within herself to discover the truth and embrace her destiny?

I Shall Not Want Julia Spencer-Fleming

Now in paperback for the first time, the sixth in The New York Times bestselling series—one considered the most suspenseful and passionate in the Russ Van Alstyne and Clare Fergusson novels

In the searing conclusion to All Mortal Flesh, Russ's precarious balance between duty and desire was broken by his wife's tragic death. Now, Russ and Episcopal priest Clare Fergusson are separated by a wall of guilt and grief.   When a Mexican farmhand stumbles over a Latino man killed with a single shot to the back of his head, Clare is reluctantly drawn into the investigation through her involvement with the migrant community. The discovery of two more bodies executed in the same way ignites fears that a serial killer is loose in the rural Adirondack town of Millers Kill. As spring turns into summer, Russ is plagued by media hysteria, conflict within the police department, and a series of baffling assaults. Throughout the escalating tensions, his and Clare's emotions toward each other are mixed. But their bodies know only one direction and they will find themselves seeking each other out even as they intend to keep distant.      With new packaging and growing momentum from The New York Times bestselling status—fans new and old will welcome this stunning edition.

Like Any Normal Day A Story of Devotion

Mark Kram, Jr.

“A heartbreaking story of love and dedication told with remarkable compassion and literary skill.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred)

In the mid-1970s, brothers Buddy and Jimmy Miley were close, both on the verge of impressive athletic careers. A promising high school quarterback, Buddy's potential was cut short by an injury that left him quadriplegic. Immobile and imprisoned in his body for decades, Buddy would watch life pass by from his wheelchair, living at home under his mother's and brother's care, and wondering what his life could have been.   Buddy and Jimmy visited special hospitals and traveled to Lourdes in search of a miracle, never losing hope as they searched for a cure. But as Buddy suffered increasing pain, and also realized that he would never be able to walk again—and pursue the life he had dreamed of with Karen, a woman he'd first met in high school—he asked Jimmy to help him end his life.   Beautifully written, both heart-wrenching and hopeful, Like Any Normal Day explores the important bonds between families and the depths of what we're willing to do for those we love.

PRAISE

"Like Any Normal Day looks piercingly beyond the moment when the lights dim and the

crowds go home in any young athlete's life.  Kram's acuity and sympathies stretch far beyond his sportswriter's practiced gaze—indeed, all the way to the realm of literature.  It is not a happy story he has to tell us.  But it seems to me—perhaps for that very reason—it is an essential and cautionary one.” —Richard Ford "You'll be unable to turn away from [this] heartbreaking true story." —Oprah Magazine

"Kram's reporting skill shines through . . . an honest, unsentimental, and painfully human story." —Sports Illustrated

MARK KRAM, JR. is a senior writer for The Philadelphia Daily News. His feature articles have won the Sigma Delta Chi award from the Society of Professional Journalists, been awarded top honors by the Associated Press for three consecutive years, and been published six times in The Best American Sports Writing Anthology. Kram lives in New Jersey with his wife and two daughters.

Empire of Shadows The Epic Story of Yellowstone

George Black

"In this work of meticulous scholarship harnessed to fine story-telling, George Black rediscovers the history and lore of [Yellowstone]." —Hampton Sides

Empire of Shadows is the epic story of the conquest of Yellowstone, a landscape uninhabited, inaccessible and shrouded in myth in the aftermath of the Civil War.  In a new reinterpretation of the 19th century West, George Black casts Yellowstone's creation as the culmination of three interwoven strands - the passion for exploration, the violence of the Indian Wars and the "civilizing" of the frontier - and charts its course through the lives of those who sought to lay bare its mysteries:  Lt. Gustavus Cheyney Doane, a gifted but tormented cavalryman known as "the man who invented Wonderland"; the ambitious former vigilante leader Nathaniel Langford; scientist Ferdinand Hayden, who brought photographer William Henry Jackson and painter Thomas Moran to Yellowstone; and Gen. Phil Sheridan, Civil War hero and architect of the Indian Wars, who finally succeeded in having the new National Park placed under the protection of the US Cavalry.  At the heart of the story is a great paradox: no matter how deeply flawed these characters may be as individuals, no matter how mixed their motives, the paths they opened led to one of the true glories of American history and the exploration of Yellowstone is a quintessentially American story, of terrible things done in the name of high ideals, and of high ideals realized by dubious means. Empire of Shadows is a groundbreaking historical account of the origins of this majestic national landmark.

PRAISE

"Epic, essential, and often bloody." —Washington Post

"A colorful, stormy, often-distressing history of our northern mountain states . . . An admirable, warts-and-all history of a milestone in environmental preservation." —Kirkus Reviews

"George Black has written a masterful and riveting history of the exploration of Yellowstone. Empire of Shadows will forever change our understanding and conception of this sacred American place." —David Grann, author of The Lost City of Z

GEORGE BLACK is the author of The Trout Pool Paradox and Casting a Spell. He is the executive editor of OnEarth magazine, a publication of the National Resources Defense Council. He lives in New York.

Master and God Lindsey Davis

From New York Times bestselling novelist Lindsey Davis comes an epic novel of first-century Rome and the Emperor Domitian, known to all of the Roman world as Master and God

In A.D. 81, Domitian seizes power upon the death of his older brother Titus and begins his reign as the Emperor of Rome. Afflicted by classic paranoia, the self-styled Master and God sees enemies everywhere—and he is right. The Senate loathes him, his advisers are terrified, his wife can’t be trusted and barbarians menace the frontiers. As he vents his suspicions, no one is safe... Gaius Vinius Clodianus is a reluctant Praetorian Guard—the Emperor’s personal bodyguards—who has survived physical and mental scars to rise to a high rank. Lucilla tends the privileged women at court; when Domitian's once talented rule unravels into madness and cruelty, she loses her patron. In the haven of their shared apartment, Gaius and Lucilla find solace together, yearning for normality while living in a reign of terror. Moves against Domitian are begun by his own household. Lucilla has to watch Gaius choose between love for her and the risk of death; between his sworn duty to protect the Emperor and conspiring to kill him for the good of Rome. Master and God is a compelling novel of the Roman Empire—from the height of power to the depths of madness—told from the perspective of two courtiers, unlikely friends who together are the witnesses to history.

Shine Shine Shine Lydia Netzer

"A stellar, thought-provoking debut." —The New York Times Book Review

When Maxon met Sunny he was seven years, four months, and eighteen days old. Or, he was 2693 rotations of the earth old. Maxon was different. Sunny was different. They were different together.

Now, twenty years later, they are married, and Sunny wants, more than anything, to be “normal.” She's got the housewife thing down perfectly, but Maxon, a genius engineer, is on a NASA mission to the moon, programming robots for a new colony. Once they were two outcasts who found unlikely love in one another: a wondrous, strange relationship formed from urgent desire for connection. But now they’re parents to an autistic son. And Sunny is pregnant again. And her mother is dying in the hospital. Their marriage is on the brink of imploding, and they're at each other’s throats with blame and fear. What exactly has gone wrong?

Sunny wishes Maxon would turn the rocket around and come straight the hell home. When an accident in space puts the mission in peril, everything Sunny and Maxon have built hangs in the balance. Dark secrets, long forgotten murders, and a blonde wig all come tumbling to the light. And nothing will ever be the same…

A debut of singular power and intelligence, Shine Shine Shine is a unique love story, an adventure between worlds, and a stunning novel of love, death and what it means to be human.

PRAISE

"Entertaining nuanced and wise blending wit and imagination, Netzer's debut is a delightfully unique love story and a resounding paean to individuality." —People (People

Pick)

"Over the moon with a metaphysical spin. Heart-tugging...struggling to understand the nature of what makes us human. Nicely unpredictable. Extraordinary." —Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“Lydia Netzer’s luminous debut novel concerns what lies beneath society’s pretty surfaces. What makes it unexpectedly moving is how skillfully Netzer then peels back those layers, finding heartbreaking depth even in characters who lack ordinary social skills.” —The Boston Globe

LYDIA NETZER was born in Detroit and educated in the Midwest. She lives in Virginia with her two home-schooled children and math-making husband. When she isn’t teaching, reading, or writing her next novel, she plays the guitar in a rock band.

Pain and Gain TK

Pete Collins

The tie-in to Michael Bay's movie starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, Pain and Gain is a wild true story of extortion, mayhem, and murder

Jorge Delgado and Daniel Lugo were simple souls—bodybuilders who envied the flashier lives and expensive toys of their strip mall health club clients.  Hatching an extortion scheme that morphed into a complex and unlikely murder plan, Delgado and Lugo—along with their cronies, known as the Sun Gym Gang—ended up killing their marks practically in plain sight of the police, including setting up house in one of their mark’s over-the-top pleasure palaces and driving around the city in his bright yellow Lamborghini.  Even when they didn’t manage to complete a murder—when one of their victims, who had been drugged, tortured, bound into the driver’s seat of a car and set on course for a head-on crash, managed to escape—the Sun Gym boys didn’t get the message.  They couldn’t stop, and didn’t stop—and as they moved down their list of victims to Golden Beach millionaire Frank Griga and his drop-dead  (and soon she would be just that) Russian girlfriend, the Dade County police finally woke up and began to take a closer look.

Set against the rich backdrop of morality-free Miami in the pre-crash 1990s, Pain and Gain is a fantastic over-the-top story that journalist Pete Collins discovered, broke and now fleshes out with fresh interviews, background and updates for fans of the Paramount/Michael Bay movie, which is based on the original reporting in this book and which Collins served as a consultant for as well.

 

PRAISE

“Pain and Gain is a cross between Fargo and Pulp Fiction.  It’s about a group of

bodybuilders searching for the American dream. They’re knuckleheads, and nothing is ever good enough for them.  It’s all set in Miami and it’s all true.”—director Michael Bay (Transformers)

PETE COLLINS is a lifelong Floridian whose writing has appeared on 60 Minutes and in The Miami News, Tropic (Miami Herald’s Sunday magazine), and Miami New Times. He is a professor of American literature and journalism at the University of Central Florida and previously taught at the University of Miami.He lives in Orlando, Florida.

True Sisters Sandra Dallas

Based on true events, bestselling author Sandra Dallas delivers a story of four women—seeking the promise of salvation and prosperity in a new land—who come together on a harrowing journey

In 1856, Mormon converts, encouraged by Brigham Young himself, and outfitted with two-wheeled handcarts, set out on foot from Iowa City to Salt Lake City, the promised land. The Martin Handcart Company, a zealous group of emigrants headed for Zion, is the last to leave on this 1,300-mile journey. Earlier companies arrive successfully in Salt Lake City, but for the Martin Company the trip proves disastrous. True Sisters tells the story of four women whose lives will become inextricably linked as they endure unimaginable hardships, each one testing the boundries of her faith and learning the true meaning of survival and friendship along the way: Nannie, who is traveling with her sister and brother-in-law after being abandoned on her wedding day; Louisa, who’s married to an overbearing church leader who she believes speaks for God; Jessie, who’s traveling with her brothers, each one of them dreaming of the farm they will have in Zion; and Anne, who hasn’t converted to Mormonism but who has no choice but to follow her husband since he has sold everything to make the trek to Utah.

Sandra Dallas has once again written a moving portrait of women surviving the unimaginable through the ties of female friendship. Her rich storytelling will leave you breathless as you take this trip with Nannie, Louisa, Jessie, and Anne.  This is Sandra Dallas at her absolute best.

Apocalypse Cow Michael Logan

Three unlikely heroes must save Britain . . . from a rampaging horde of ZOMBIE COWS

Forget the cud. They want blood.   It began with a cow that just wouldn't die. It would become an epidemic that transformed Britain's livestock into sneezing, slavering, flesh-craving four-legged zombies.   And if that wasn't bad enough, the fate of the nation seems to rest on the shoulders of three unlikely heroes: an abattoir worker whose love life is non-existent thanks to the stench of death that clings to him, a teenage vegan with eczema and a weird crush on his maths teacher, and an inept journalist who wouldn't recognize a scoop if she tripped over one.   As the nation descends into chaos, can they pool their resources, unlock a cure, and save the world?   Three losers. Overwhelming odds. One outcome . . .   Yup, we're screwed.

MICHAEL LOGAN is a Scottish journalist whose career has taken him across the globe. He left Scotland in 2003 and has lived in Bosnia, Hungary, Switzerland and Kenya, where he is currently based with his wife and two young children. His short fiction has appeared in various literary journals, and a (very) short story of his won Fish Publishing's International One-Page Fiction Prize.

Sparky and Me Dan Ewald

Dan Ewald . . . beautifully captures the magic of Sparky’s wit, humor, and humanity in these pages.  All baseball fans should read it.” —Mitch Albom

In the tradition of Tuesdays With Morrie, Dan Ewald pens a memoir of his friendship with legendary Tigers manager Sparky Anderson, the man who taught him not only the nuances of baseball, but the importance of life’s unwritten rules. Few sports figures, regardless of their position, have generated as much good will as Sparky Anderson, the legendary manager for the Cincinnati Reds and the Detroit Tigers.  Sparky met author Dan Ewald in 1979, and thus was born a lifelong friendship not likely ever to be seen again in baseball.  Along the way, Dan never took for granted the front row seat he had to watch one of history's most memorable managers’ absolute mastery of baseball's nuances and intricacies.  But the most important things Sparky taught Dan were the "unwritten rules" of life, which he practiced meticulously. His goal was for his players to be the best husbands, fathers, and community leaders they could be—he believed that was the mark of a winner, not the box score.  Sparky had a gift for taking something as inane as the infield fly rule and turning it into a lecture on how to lead a more meaningful life. In this heartfelt memoir, Dan imparts to readers his best friend’s spirit through his unforgettable life lessons and stories only the two of them shared. 

PRAISE

“Managing people in a scope far broader than a pennant race is a rare quality, and Sparky understood people, their insecurities, their motivations. This is a great read, a great understanding of the humanity of playing baseball.” —Peter Gammons, MLB Network “For decades, it seemed like everyone in baseball knew Sparky Anderson, and almost all of us considered him a friend.  But few knew him as Dan Ewald did.  Here, Dan provides a unique look at an endearing man who led a significant life both in and out of the game.” —Bob Costas, NBC Sports and MLB Network

DAN EWALD is a sports writer who worked as the public relations director for the Detroit Tigers for eighteen years.  During that time, he became close friends with Sparky Anderson, whose career he managed for thirty-two years and with whom he authored three books.

A Magnificent Obsession Victoria, Albert, and the Death That Changed the British Monarchy

Helen Rappaport

As she did in The Last Days of the Romanovs, Helen Rappaport brings a compelling documentary feel to the story of this royal marriage—what began as a fairytale ended in tragedy

After the untimely death of Prince Albert, the queen and her nation were plunged into a state of grief so profound that this one event would dramatically alter the shape of the British monarchy. For Britain had not just lost a prince. During his twenty year marriage to Queen Victoria, Prince Albert had increasingly performed the function of King in all but name. The outpouring of grief after Albert’s death was so extreme, that its like would not be seen again until the death of Princess Diana 136 years later.

Drawing on many letters, diaries and memoirs from the Royal Archives and other previously uncited sources, Rappaport offers a new perspective on the crucial final months of the prince’s life and the middle years of Queen Victoria’s reign. She draws a portrait of a queen obsessed with her living husband and later with his place in history. It will also throw new light on the true nature of the prince’s chronic physical condition, overturning for good the 150-year old myth that he died of typhoid fever.

PRAISE

“A Magnificent Obsession will immerse you in history . . . Rappaport brings alive an almost forgotten time. A must-read.” —British Weekly

“An absorbing account of the making of a queen through her awful, protracted grief.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Rappaport offers an absorbing, perceptive, and detailed picture of a constitutional monarchy in crisis.” —Publishers Weekly

Praise for The Last Days of the Romanovs: “As shocking and immediate as a thriller. . . . [A] gripping read.” —People magazine (3

½ stars)

“Quite simply, stunning. . . . Chilling and poignant, this is how history books should be written.” —Alison Weir, author of Henry VIII

HELEN RAPPAPORT studied Russian at Leeds University and is a specialist in Russian and nineteenth-century women’s history. She lives in Oxford.

Battleground Pacific A Marine Rifleman's Combat Odyssey in K/3/5

Sterling Mace and Nick Allen

A powerfully wrought WWII memoir by a member of the fabled 1st Marine Division depicted in HBO's The Pacific

Battleground Pacific is a dramatic under the helmet view of some of the worst action of the Pacific War, from the seldom-seen perspective of a rifleman at the point of attack.   Sterling Mace's unit was part of the so-called “K-3-5” (for Company K, 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment of the fabled 1st Marine Division), famously depicted in HBO’s The Pacific, as well as several bestselling accounts of the war. But this powerfully wrought memoir stands proudly with the best of all of them. It’s filled with indelible moments, from his love of his oldest sister, who died of polio when he was four, to his run-in with the law that led to his enlistment. But mostly, this is a combat tale—as violent and harrowing as any that's come before. Mace traces his path to learning that killing another human comes just as easily as staying alive, and that bravery often equates to stupidity, leading to the death of close friends, but that life goes on, with death on its heels.   Battleground Pacific will stand as one of the most important and entertaining memoirs about the Pacific theater in WWII.

PRAISE

"Battleground Pacific is more than a book. It's a virtual minicam on a rifleman's

helmet, riveting home the sights and sounds of war in a realness you expect to find only in a movie theater." —Bob Welch, coauthor of Easy Company Soldier: The Legendary Battles of a Sergeant from World War II's "Band of Brothers" “Battleground Pacific is another great tribute to “The Greatest Generation.” Mace’s

tale is written in the language of a grunt speaking for all the unsung heroes who lived and died in the Pacific. A good read from this Marine’s perspective.” —Jerry Cutter, former Marine and author of I'm Staying With My Boys

STERLING MACE enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1942 and was stationed at various Marine camps in the U.S. and then finally Pavuvu, before experiencing the toughest fighting of the Pacific war as a rifleman in K/3/5 at Peleliu and Okinawa. He was a consultant on E.B. Sledge’s book, With the Old Breed. He lives in St. Pete Beach, Florida.

NICK ALLEN is the son of a combat rifleman who served in Vietnam and has been interviewing combat veterans for most of his life. He lives in Bellaire, Texas.

A Dark Anatomy A Mystery

Robin Blake

When a vicious slaying unleashes a wave of panic, village coroner Titus Cragg finds himself embroiled in the hunt for a murderer in this darkly rich and atmospheric historical mystery

The year is 1740. George II is on the throne, but England’s remoter provinces remain largely a law unto themselves. In Lancashire a grim discovery has been made: a squire’s wife, Dolores Brockletower, lies in the woods above her home at Garlick Hall, her throat brutally slashed.   Called to the scene, Coroner Titus Cragg finds the Brockletower household awash with rumor and suspicion. He enlists the help of his astute young friend, doctor Luke Fidelis, to throw light on the case.   But this is a world in which forensic science is in its infancy, and policing hardly exists. Embarking on their first gripping investigation, Cragg and Fidelis are faced with the superstition of witnesses, obstruction by local officials, and denunciations from the squire himself. A Dark Anatomy marks the arrival of a remarkable new voice in mystery and a pair of detectives both cunning and complex.

PRAISE

“An impressive whodunit.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)

“Fascinating . . . Cragg and Fidelis make a terrific detecting duo . . . Blake’s knowledge of an eighteenth-century backwater just shaking off medieval superstitions is deep and engaging. A solid winner.” —Booklist (starred)

“Blake uses this setting to show the times, the people and events in a book you won’t be able to put down. Flawless . . . The next book will be eagerly anticipated.” —RT Book Reviews

“Cragg is an elegant, urban narrator with a knack for making even minor characters come alive . . . Recommended.” —Guardian (UK)

ROBIN BLAKE is the author of acclaimed works on the artists Van Dyck and Stubbs. He has written, produced, and presented extensively for radio, is widely published as a critic, and has been a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Brunel University. He lives in London.

LEAD

Ruler of the World Empire of the Moghul

Alex Rutherford

“A fascinating insight into the rise and fall of a great and glorious dynasty. Bloody battles, brutal killings and treachery –what more could you ask for?”—Historical Novels Society

Akbar, ruler of a sixth of the world’s people, colossally rich and utterly ruthless, was a contemporary of Elizabeth I, but infinitely more powerful. He extended his rule over much of south Asia, skillfully commanding tens of thousands of men, elephants and innovative technology, yet despite the unimaginable bloodshed which resulted, his empire was based on universal religious tolerance. However, Akbar’s homelife was more complicated. He defied family, nobles and mullahs to marry a beautiful Rajput princess who hated Akbar for conquering her people, and turned his eldest son against him. Akbar’s sons were brought up to be intense rivals and suspicious of each other. And, as Salim grew to manhood, the relationship between father and son became tainted by rebellion and competition to be the greatest Moghul of them all.

PRAISE

“A vivid portrayal of the rule of the Moghul Emperor Akbar . . . A fascinating look into a time and place that played an important part in history but is little known today.” —British Weekly (UK)

“The novel gives a very detailed reflection of Akbar's life . . . beautifully described . . . incomparable.” —Shivanibookreviews.blogspot.com Praise for A Kingdom Divided:

"The hand-to-hand combat pulsates with heroic vigor and plentiful gore, sure to entertain fans, and the climax paves the way for the next epic entry." —Publishers Weekly

"The whole life and times of the Mughal dynasty are brought to life in vivid imagery." —Historical Novel Review

ALEX RUTHERFORD is the pen name for Diana and Michael Preston, whose nonfiction has been awarded the Los Angeles Times Science and Technology Prize and been praised worldwide. They are also authors of Raiders from the North and A Kingdom Divided. They live in London.

When in Doubt, Add Butter Beth Harbison

The New York Times bestselling author of Always Something There to Remind Me delivers a hilarious and heartfelt new novel about a personal chef and her search for true love

As far as Gemma is concerned, her days of dating are over. In fact, it’s her job to cater other peoples’ dates, and that’s just fine by her. At thirty-seven, she has her own business, working as a private chef, and her life feels full and secure. She’s got six steady clients that keep her hands full.

There’s Lex, the fussy but fabulous department store owner who loves Oysters Rockefeller and 1950s comfort food; Willa, who needs to lose weight under doctor’s orders but still believes butter makes everything better; a colorful family who may or may not be part of the Russian mob; an überwealthy Georgetown family; the picture-perfect Van Houghtens, whose matriarch is “allergic to everything”; and finally, a man she calls “Mr. Tuesday,” whom she has never met but who she is strangely drawn to.

For Gemma, cooking is predictable. Recipes are certain. Use good ingredients, follow the directions, and you are assured success. Life, on the other hand, is full of variables. So when Gemma’s takes an unexpected turn on a road she always thought was straight and narrow, she must face her past and move on in ways she never would have imagined. Because sometimes in life, all you need is a little hope, a lot of courage, and---yes---butter.

BETH HARBISON is The New York Times bestselling author of Always Something There To Remind Me; Thin, Rich, Pretty; Hope In A Jar; Secrets of a Shoe Addict and Shoe Addicts Anonymous. She grew up in Potomac, Maryland, outside Washington, D.C., and now shares her time between that suburb, New York City and a quiet home on the eastern shore.

Flame A Sky Chasers Novel

Amy Kathleen Ryan

In the thrilling conclusion to the Sky Chasers series Waverly, Kieran, and Seth struggle to survive on-board the New Horizon—and take down their enemies before it's too late

Waverly and the other members of the Empyrean have been scattered, and their home ship destroyed. Their mission to rescue their parents didn't go as planned, and now they're at an even greater disadvantage: trapped with their enemies on the New Horizon, trying to find a way to survive. Kieran has been pulled under Anne Mather’s wing, but is she really trying to make peace, or just using Kieran to build her own power? Meanwhile, Waverly is taken in by a mysterious old man who wants to help her bring Anne Mather down—but the more Waverly cooperates with him, the more dangerous her position is, and the more at odds with Kieran she becomes. Seth's situation is even worse. After setting out from the Empyrean on his own, with only a vague strategy to guide him, he is a fugitive aboard the New Horizon. He's doing what he can to challenge the power of Anne Mather, but he's badly hurt, and getting sicker. All the while, unknown to him, the terrorist Jacob is making plans of his own. Will Seth ever see Waverly again? Will his health hold out long enough to help her topple their enemies? And will Waverly find a way to unite with her friends before they all fall? Nothing is sure and every moment is a risk in this explosive finale of the Sky Chasers series.

A Killing in the Hills Julia Keller

"Keller’s vividly described characters and shifting points of view make this debut novel especially realistic . . . Superbly detailed and suspense-drenched" —Library Journal (starred)

What's happening in Acker's Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter.  Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker's Gap? Or were Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow? One of the witnesses to the brutal incident was Carla Elkins, teenaged daughter of Bell Elkins, the prosecuting attorney for Raythune County, WV. Carla was shocked and horrified by what she saw, but after a few days, she begins to recover enough to believe that she might be uniquely placed to help her mother do her job. After all, what better way to repair their fragile, damaged relationship? But could Carla also end up doing more harm than good—in fact, putting her own life in danger? In this powerful, intricate debut from a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, a mother and a daughter try to do right by a town and each other before it's too late.

Pu Pu Hot Pot The World's Best Restaurant Names

Ben Brusey

100 snapshots of the world's most amazing, dreadful and utterly bizarre restaurant names

"What's in a name?" —William Shakespeare (foodie)

For too long, restaurants have been judged on the quality of their food. In some parts of the world, chefs have been known to waste literally hours of their lives carefully preparing and cooking stuff, only for other people to eat it and, later, part ways with it. This insanity must stop. There is only one thing to look for in a restaurant; a secret hidden in the pages of this laugh-out loud hilarious book.

Ben Brusey has scoured the globe from Sunderland to Majorca to find the world's best-named restaurants, bars, and cafes. Breathtaking discoveries have been made, new standards of culinary excellence have been set. So, cancel that table at Per Se, forget that drink at the John Dory Oyster Bar, and open wide for a mouthful of wisdom guaranteed to leave you hungry, thirsty, and gagging for more.

Why not savour the culinary delights of:

l A SALT & BATTERY (New York, USA). Chef's tip: Don't make eye contact with him.

l NEW COD ON THE BLOCK (Sheffield, UK). Previously THE GILL NEXT DOOR.

l PHO SHIZZLE (Cambridge, Canada). Vietnamese has never been so gangsta.

l THAI TANIC (Washington DC, USA). Our tip: Avoid the Iceberg Lettuce.

l HINDENBURGER (Toronto, Canada). Flame grilled and disastrously good.

l PU PU HOT POT (Boston, USA). The critics say: Chinese food guaranteed to put fire in your belly.

l JESUS FAMILY RESTAURANT (Fort Worth, Texas). The Lord grills in mysterious ways.

BEN BRUSEY likes to eat food at restaurants when he can. He also likes to compete in eating challenges and his record is thirty fish fingers in one sitting (plus mayo, lemon and ketchup). His favorite restaurant in London is the Phât Phúc Noodle Bar, located near South Kensington. "Phât Phúc" translates as "Happy Buddha". Seriously.

Die a Stranger An Alex McKnight Novel

Steve Hamilton

"Every word counts in Edgar-winner Hamilton’s masterful ninth novel featuring ex-cop Alex McKnight . . .  A sensitive exploration of tragedy and redemption." —Publishers Weekly (starred)

Two-time Edgar award-winner and New York Times bestselling author Steve Hamilton continues his acclaimed Alex McKnight series with  perhaps his boldest book yet.

Late one night, a plane lands on a deserted airstrip. Five dead bodies are found there the next morning.  And now Vinnie LeBlanc is missing. Vinnie is an Ojibwa tribal member, a blackjack dealer at the Bay Mills Casino, and he just might be Alex McKnight’s best friend. He’s come through for Alex more than once in the past, and he never ever misses a day of work. So Alex can’t help but be worried. There’s a deadly crime war creeping into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, leaving bodies in its wake, and Alex never would think for a minute that his friend could be involved. But when an unexpected and unwelcome stranger arrives in town, Alex will soon find out that the stakes are higher than he ever could have imagined.

PRAISE

“[Hamilton] creates an ensemble of strong, believable characters and spins his suspenseful tale in crisp, hard-boiled prose. The result is a taut, fast-paced story with lots of gunplay and unexpected twists, along with a poignant subplot about the strained relationship between father and son.” —Associated Press “In the latest of the Alex McKnight series, Steve Hamilton again demonstrates why he is one of the better authors at giving a sense of depth to the stage where his characters reside.” —San Diego Union-Tribune

STEVE HAMILTON’s debut, A Cold Day in Paradise won the PWA/SMP Best First Private Eye Novel Contest before winning both an Edgar and a Shamus Award for Best First Novel. His standalone novel The Lock Artist was named a New York Times Notable Crime Book, received an Alex Award, and went on to win the Edgar Award for Best Novel. He attended the University of Michigan, where he won the prestigious Hopwood Award for writing, and now lives in Cottekill, New York with his wife and their two children.

The boy who spent a fateful summer with his brother and teenage cousins, only to endure a family secret so painful it led three children to do the unthinkable.  Over the course of one night, while stuck at a party deep in the New England woods, Andrew battles the pain of his past and the isolation of his present.  Before the sun rises, he’ll either surrender his sanity to the wild wolves inside his mind or learn that surviving means more than not dying.

Chris Christie The Inside Story of His Rise to Power

Bob Ingle and Michael Symons

A revealing biography of the Republican Party's brightest rising star, with a new chapter on the Obama/Romney presidential campaign, Hurricane Sandy, and a look at Christie’s future

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has become a national Republican Party figure, famous for his blunt public statements, his willingness to confront powerful special interests, and his determination to change the ingrown, corrupt, backroom political culture of New Jersey. In just two years as governor, Christie has moved aggressively to reduce the state’s ballooning deficit, rein in lucrative entitlements for teacher, police, fire, and public employee unions, cut out-of-control government spending, and create jobs by reducing counterproductive business regulations. But beneath Christie’s combative public persona is an intensely loyal family man, whose deep roots in New Jersey shape his core values. Drawing on interviews with Christie himself, his wife, Mary Pat, his brother, Todd, his father, Bill, his uncle Joe, and many longtime supporters as well as political opponents, Bob Ingle and Michael Symons trace Christie’s life and career with insight, candor, and never-before-told stories. Chris Christie offers the first inside portrait of this fascinating man.

PRAISE

"A thorough, exacting account of how an outspoken son of New Jersey became the hottest ticket in conservative politics." —The Hill

"A very readable and illuminating portrait of Chris Christie that shows, whether you love him or hate him, he is a genuine article--and he is here to stay." —The Washington Times

BOB INGLE is coauthor of The New York Times bestseller The Soprano State, which was made into a documentary. An award-winning veteran journalist and broadcaster, he writes a syndicated column called “Politics Patrol.”   MICHAEL SYMONS is a veteran New Jersey journalist, currently based on Press Row in the New Jersey Statehouse in Trenton. His blog, Capitol Quickies, is a must-read by every politician and politically connected person in New Jersey and Washington, D.C.

The Dog Who Danced Susan Wilson

From the New York Times bestselling author of One Good Dog comes a novel about a woman’s cross-country journey to find her lost dog and discover herself

“My name is Justine Meade and in my forty-three years there have only been a handful of people that I have loved. No, that’s an exaggeration. Two. Two that I lost because of stupidity and selfishness. One was my son. The other was my dog.” If there’s been a theme in Justine Meade’s life, it’s loss. Her mother, her home, even her son. The one bright spot in her loss-filled life, the partner she could always count on, was Mack, her gray and black Sheltie—that is, until she is summoned back to her childhood home after more than twenty years away. Ed and Alice Parmalee are mourning a loss of their own. Seven years after their daughter was taken from them, they’re living separate lives together. Dancing around each other, and their unspeakable heartbreak, unable to bridge the chasm left between them.   Fiercely loyal, acutely perceptive and guided by a herd dog’s instinct, Mack has a way of bringing out the best in his humans. Whether it’s a canine freestyle competition or just the ebb and flow of a family’s rhythms, it’s as though the little Shetland Sheepdog was born to bring people together. The Dog Who Danced is his story, one that will surely dance its way into your heart.

PRAISE

Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend A Novel

Matthew Dicks

Imaginary friend Budo narrates this heartwarming story of love, loyalty, and the power of the imagination—the perfect read for anyone who has ever had a friend . . . real or otherwise

Budo is lucky as imaginary friends go. He's been alive for more than five years, which is positively ancient in the world of imaginary friends. But Budo feels his age, and thinks constantly of the day when eight-year-old Max Delaney will stop believing in him. When that happens, Budo will disappear. Max is different from other children. Some people say that he has Asperger’s Syndrome, but most just say he’s “on the spectrum.” None of this matters to Budo, who loves Max and is charged with protecting him from the class bully, from awkward situations in the cafeteria, and even in the bathroom stalls. But he can’t protect Max from Mrs. Patterson, the woman who works with Max in the Learning Center and who believes that she alone is qualified to care for this young boy. When Mrs. Patterson does the unthinkable and kidnaps Max, it is up to Budo and a team of imaginary friends to save him—and Budo must ultimately decide which is more important: Max’s happiness or Budo's very existence.

PRAISE

"It has been a long time since I read a book that has captured me so completely, and has wowed me with its unique vision. You've never read a book like this before. As Budo himself might say: Believe me." —Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Sing You Home “Wholly original and completely unputdownable. A captivating story told in a voice so clever and honest I didn’t want it to end." —Eleanor Brown, New York Times bestselling author of The Weird Sisters "Incredibly captivating . . . delightfully compelling reading." —Booklist

"[A] fun read and engaging exploration of the vibrant world of a child's imagination." —Publishers Weekly

Yes, I Could Care Less How to Be a Language Snob Without Being a Jerk

Bill Walsh

A usage guide for writers and all lovers of language from Bill Walsh, language maven, copy editor at The Washington Post, and author of Lapsing into a Comma

Calling all language sticklers—and those who love to argue with them! Usage maven Bill Walsh expounds (rather than expands) on his pet peeves in the long-awaited follow-up (note the hyphens, please) to The Elephants of Style and Lapsing Into a Comma. Could you care less? Does bad grammar “literally” make your head explode? Test your need for this book with these sentences:

l "Katrina misplaced many residents of New Orleans from their homes." l "Mark had a full schedule of meetings. His first of the day was a small

businessman, followed by a high schoolteacher." l "Betty was 100% percent wrong."

Pat yourself on the back if you found issues in every one of these sentences, but remember: There is a world out there beyond the stylebooks, beyond Strunk and White, beyond Lynne Truss and Failblogs. Part usage manual, part confessional and part manifesto, Yes, I Could Care Less bounces from sadomasochism to weather geekery, Top Chef to Monty Python. It is a lively and often personal look at one man’s continuing journey through the obstacle course that some refer to, far too simply, as “grammar.”

PRAISE

Praise for Bill Walsh:

"What Walsh calls his 'curmudgeon's stylebook' contains such useful items as differentiating names of peoples . . . His 'gray areas' are stimulating." —William Safire, On Language, New York Times Magazine

"An extraordinarily useful guide for any writer. Bill Walsh is a stylist with a sense of humor, a rare comodity these days." —Frank Mankiewicz, former president, NPR

"More from Bill Walsh! I love it. He’s packed The Elephants of Style with his wisdom

and expertise to help any writer look good.” —Barbara Wallraff, former language columnist for the Atlantic Monthly

BILL WALSH is a copy editor at The Washington Post, where he has worked since 1997. He is a regular presenter at the annual conferences of the American Copy Editors Society. He is the author of Lapsing Into a Comma and The Elephants of Style.

Weather Witch Shannon Delany

The first in an exciting new young adult series from 13 to Life writer Shannon Delany—a young woman enslaved for being a weather witch must fight for her freedom to be with the boy she loves

Some fled the Old World to avoid war and some fled to leave behind magic. But even the fiercely regulated New World—with its ranks and standards and emphasis on decorum—cannot avoid the power that wells up in certain people and influences weather and calls down storms. So the Weather Witches—those who can control the weather—are hunted by Testers and Wraiths and made to power the Grounded population's ships, their lights—their every luxury—in a time before either steam or electricity takes hold. Jordan Astraea, a high-ranking member of The Nine is from a flawless background with seemingly no taint of magic or witchery. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday celebration the Wraiths and the Tester appear and blame her for summoning an unscheduled storm. Taken from her family and near-boyfriend, Rowen, Jordan is sentenced to be Made—to become a Conductor—and be enslaved as a living battery for an airship. But breaking Jordan may prove the very thing the carefully constructed New World society cannot survive. And the chance of losing Jordan forever may make Rowen become the hero he would have never dared otherwise be.

Basic Surviving Boot Camp and Basic Training

Colonel Jack Jacobs (Ret.) and David Fisher

"A clear and sometimes mordantly amusing overview of the training experience, punctuating it with personal accounts from soldiers." —Kirkus Reviews

Every soldier, sailor, marine and air force personnel has one thing in common: They all have been through basic training. None will ever forget it. During the eight weeks of training each recruit learns things about themselves that they never experienced before. They are taught everything from combat skills to making a bed with sheets so tight a quarter will bounce off them. The goal of this training is to turn a young American into a soldier, sailor or marine who will instantly and unquestioningly respond to an order.   Basic tells the history of basic training and includes historic materials like schedules, menus, cadence calls, chants and songs from the various wars, and even excerpts from training manuals.

The Sleeping and the Dead A Mystery

Jeff Crook

The first book in an edgy and acclaimed new series, starring Jackie Lyons, a Memphis crime scene photographer with ghostly assistance

Jackie Lyons, a former vice detective with the Memphis Police Department, is trying to put her life back together. Her husband has served her with divorce papers, she's broke, and her apartment has just gone up in flames. But a failed marriage, unemployment, and an incinerated home aren’t her only problems: she also sees ghosts.

Since Jackie left her job with the MPD, she’s been making ends meet by photographing crime scenes for her old friends on the force, and for the occasional collector.  When she's called to the murder scene of the Playhouse Killer's latest victim, she starts seeing crime scenes from a different perspective-- her new camera captures spectral images. As her camera brings her ghostly visitors into sharper relief, it also points her toward clues the ex-detective in her won’t let go: Did the man she has just started dating kill his wife? Is the Playhouse Killer someone in her inner circle?  

As Jackie works to separate natural from supernatural, friend from foe, and light from dark, the spirit world and her own difficult past become the only things she can depend on to solve the case.

Behold a Pale Horse A Mystery of Ancient Ireland

Peter Tremayne

Fidelma of Cashel is back in a perplexing case of murder and conspiracy in the pagan wilds of Northern Italy

In 664 A.D., just after the events detailed in Shroud for the Archbishop (the second installment in the series), Fidelma of Cashel takes a unexpected detour on her trip home from Rome. While in the port at Genua (modern-day Genoa), Fidelma—sister of one Ireland’s kings and an advocate in her country’s law courts—receives word  that one of her old teachers, Brother Ruadan, is reaching the end of his days.  Determined to see her old mentor one last time, Fidelma takes the treacherous journey to a remote abbey in the countryside—a place where the old pagan religion still has a hold and where even the Christians are often in bloody conflict with each other. But after she hears her dying teacher’s last words, Fidelma’s most dangerous adventure has just begun. With one murder after the next and a vicious war in the offing, it is up to Fidelma, alone and on her own, to unravel an extraordinary conspiracy before it is too late.

The Beautiful Mystery A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel

Louise Penny

The latest in The New York Times bestselling series by one of the most acclaimed crime writers of our time is "haunting, puzzling, brilliant, and indeed a most beautiful mystery" —Linda Fairstein

No outsiders are ever admitted to the monastery of Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups, hidden deep in the wilderness of Quebec, where two dozen cloistered monks live in peace and prayer. They grow vegetables, they tend chickens, they make chocolate. And they sing. Ironically, for a community that has taken a vow of silence, the monks have become world-famous for their glorious voices, raised in ancient chants whose effect on both singer and listener is so profound it is known as “the beautiful mystery.”

But when the renowned choir director is murdered, the lock on the monastery’s massive wooden door is drawn back to admit Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir of the Sûreté du Québec. There they discover disquiet beneath the silence, discord in the apparent harmony. One of the brothers, in this life of  prayer and contemplation, has been contemplating murder. As the peace of the monastery crumbles, Gamache is forced to confront some of his own demons, as well as those roaming the remote corridors. Before finding the killer, before restoring peace, the Chief must first consider the divine, the human, and the cracks in between. "A. Ma. Zing!  A remarkably courageous—and very beautiful—book that leaps the abyss between faith and despair." —Diana Gabaldon

PRAISE

"Captivating the crime provides a means for Penny’s unusually empathic, all-too-fallible lead to unearth truths about human passions and weaknesses while avoiding simple answers." —Publishers Weekly (starred)

“There is always something mammoth roiling away beneath the surface of Penny’s novels—but this time the roiling is set against the serenity of the chanting, producing a melody of uncommon complexity and beauty.” —Booklist (starred)

“Remarkably penetrating and humane.” —Kirkus Reviews

LOUISE PENNY is The New York Times and Globe and Mail bestselling author of eight Chief Inspector Armand Gamache novels. She has been awarded the John Creasey Dagger, Nero, Macavity and Barry Awards, as well as two each of the Arthur Ellis and Dilys Awards. Additionally, Louise has won four Agatha Awards and four Anthony Awards. She lives in a small village south of Montréal.

Shutdown Heather Anastasiu

The thrilling conclusion to an action-packed sci-fi trilogy

The battle is all but over, and all hope seems to be lost. Zoe and her fellow Resistance fighters are on the run, having lost their home, their protection, and their leader. They are outnumbered and outmatched by the powerful corporation that controls the world, and the cruel Chancellor is inches away from completing a scheme that would kill most of humanity. Zoe's only remaining option is to chase the impossible dream of upending the Link system, freeing the world from the hardware that controls their thoughts and emotions, and hope it will trigger a revolution.    The plot requires a nearly impossible mission to infiltrate the dangerous Community, and it is a task that Zoe must unfortunately complete alone. After horrific torture at the hands of the Chancellor, Adrien remains unresponsive, an empty shell of the boy Zoe loves. With challenges and surprises at every turn, nothing goes according to plan. Adrien's visions of the future now show two possible outcomes: one in which they succeed, and one in which humanity falls. It all lies in Zoe's hands.  Full of high-adrenaline action and shocking twists, Shutdown is a heart-pounding conclusion to an exciting sci-fi adventure trilogy for young adults.

Brooklyn Girls Gemma Burgess

A charming debut series about five twenty-something girls and the humor, heartbreak, and drama that bring them together

Fantastically funny, fresh and utterly relatable, Brooklyn Girls by Gemma Burgess is the first novel in her brand new series about five twenty-something friends—Pia, Angie, Julia, Coco and Madeleine—sharing a brownstone in hip, downtown Brooklyn, and discovering the ups and downs and ins and outs of  their “semi-adult” lives. The first story belongs to sophisticated, spoiled, and stylish Pia, who finds herself completely unemployed, unemployable, and broke. So what is a recent grad with an art history degree and an unfortunate history of Facebook topless photos to do? Start a food truck business of course! Pia takes on the surprisingly cutthroat Brooklyn world of hybrid lettuce growers, artisanal yogurt makers and homemade butter producers to start SkinnyWheels—all while dealing with hipster bees, one-night-stands, heartbreak, parental fury, wild parties, revenge, jail, loan sharks, playboys, karaoke, true love, and one adorable pink food truck. And that's without counting her roommates' problems, too. Gemma Burgess has captured the confusion, hilarity and excitement of the post-graduate years against a backdrop of the pressures and chaos of New York City life, with heartfelt empathy, fast humor and sharp honesty.

PRAISE

"Gemma Burgess delivers a hilarious, true-to-life story about twenty-somethings living their not-so-dream-lives in Brooklyn with razor-sharp wit, unflinching honesty, and a warm heart. Brooklyn Girls is a must-read." —Cara Lockwood, USA Today bestselling author of I Do (But I Don’t) “Fast, funny, and fresh: Brooklyn Girls is a wonderful laugh-out-loud novel for anyone

trying to figure out what she wants in life, and how the hell she's going to get it.” —Kim Gruenenfelder, author of Wedding Fever and There’s Cake in My Future

Leader of the Pack David Rosenfelt

“Andy is as effervescent as ever, and the courtroom byplay is consistently entertaining.” —Kirkus Reviews

Over the course of his legal career, Andy Carpenter has lost a few cases. But that doesn’t mean he forgets his clients. Andy has always been convinced that Joey Desimone, a man convicted of murder nine years ago, was innocent and believes that Joey’s family’s connections to organized crime played a pivotal role in his conviction. While there isn’t much Andy can do for him while he serves out his prison sentence, Joey suggests that he check up on Joey’s elderly uncle. He’d rather not, but as a favor to Joey, Andy agrees to take his dog, Tara, on a few visits. The old man’s memory is going, but when Andy tries to explain why he’s there, it jogs something in the man’s mind, and his comments leave Andy wondering if Uncle Nick is confused, or if he just might hold the key to Joey’s freedom after all this time. Andy grabs on to this thread of possibility and follows it into a world where the oath of silence is stronger than blood ties, and where people will do anything to make sure their secrets are kept. Riveting, suspenseful, and highly entertaining, Leader of the Pack is bestseller David Rosenfelt’s latest entry in his much-beloved Andy Carpenter series.

PRAISE

“A fun mystery . . . surprising enough that I gasped in public.” —[New Jersey] Star Ledger on Leader of the Pack

“Rosenfelt walks a line between pulse-pounding suspense and laugh-out-loud humor . . . One of the best in the business.” —Associated Press on One Dog Night

“A blessed anomaly in crime fiction . . . Andy is like a gulp of cold water on a steamy day. . .Rosenfelt peels back the layers of puzzlement ever so skillfully, tantalizing us throughout until, finally, both Andy and the reader are enlightened, simultaneously. A gem.” —Booklist (starred) on One Dog Night

DAVID ROSENFELT is the Edgar and Shamus Award-nominated author of five stand-alones and nine previous Andy Carpenter novels, most recently One Dog Night. He and his wife live in Maine with the twenty-seven golden retrievers that they’ve rescued.

Scratching the Horizon A Surfing Life

Izzy Paskowitz with Daniel Paisner

A bitchin' love letter to sand and sea, and a spirited inside account of life with the "first family" of American surfing

In 1956, Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz stepped away from a successful medical practice and began a lifelong surfing odyssey that grew to include his wife Juliette, and their nine children. Together, the Paskowitz clan lived a vagabonding bohemian existence, eschewing material possessions in favor of intangible riches like health and good cheer . . . all the while careening along the world's coastlines in search of the perfect wave.   In Scratching the Horizon, Izzy Paskowitz looks back at his unusual upbringing, and his lifelong passion for the sport that carries his family's stamp. As the fourth-oldest child in a family of inveterate surfers, rock stars, and beach bums, he is uniquely qualified to shine a light on a childhood that has come to symbolize the surfing credo, a reckless young adulthood that nearly cost him his sanity, and a maturing sense of self and purpose that allows him to lift others on the back of his experience.   As the father of a son with autism and the founder of "Surfers Healing," a foundation devoted to expanding the horizons of children with autism through surfing, Paskowitz has found a way to connect the surreal aspects of his childhood to the harsh realities of adulthood, and he shares these discoveries in this wickedly entertaining and transforming memoir.

PRAISE

"The Paskowitz family has spent a lifetime sharing surfing with the world and looking after kids. I'm eternally grateful to them for almost raising my little brother through their surf camp, and now I'm grateful to Izzy for sharing his family's story. What a wild ride!" —Kelly Slater, champion surfer and author of Pipe Dreams: A Surfer’s Journey

"I'm a fan of the Paskowitz family, on all levels, particularly the level of taking children with autism into the water. I quite simply vibe with what they're doing. His book completely rocks." —Anthony Kiedis, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, New York Times bestselling author of Scar Tissue

IZZY PASKOWITZ has competed in, and won, dozens of longboard titles. He and his wife, Danielle, own and operate the world-famous Paskowitz Surf Camp and run the nonprofit organization Surfers Healing, which offers free surfing day camps to autistic children and their families. Paskowitz lives with his family in San Juan Capistrano, California.   DANIEL PAISNER is the co-writer of eleven New York Times bestsellers. He lives in Port Washington, New York, with his wife and three children.

Shucked Life on a New England Oyster Farm

Erin Byers Murray

An award-winning, charming and lively first-person account of oyster farming—from seed to harvest to service at the finest restaurants in America

Bill Buford’s Heat meets Phoebe Damrosch’s Service Included in this unique blend of personal narrative, food miscellany, and history.

In March of 2009, Erin Byers Murray ditched her pampered city girl lifestyle and convinced the rowdy and mostly male crew at Island Creek Oysters in Duxbury, Massachusetts, to let a completely unprepared, aquaculture-illiterate food and lifestyle writer work for them for 18 months to learn the business of oysters. Shucked is part love letter, part memoir and part documentary about the world’s most beloved bivalves. An in-depth look at the work that goes into getting oysters from farm to table, Shucked shows Erin’s full-circle journey through the modern day oyster farming process and tells a dynamic story about the people who grow our food, and the cutting-edge community of weathered New England oyster farmers who are defying convention and looking ahead. The narrative also interweaves Erin’s personal story—the tale of how a technology-obsessed workaholic learns to slow life down a little bit and starts to enjoy getting her hands dirty (and cold). This is a book for oyster lovers everywhere, but also a great read for locavores and foodies in general.

Bad Little Falls A Novel

Paul Doiron

Edgar Award-finalist Paul Doiron delivers another “masterpiece of high-octane narrative” (Booklist) in this harrowing thriller about the hunt for a murderer at the height of a major snowstorm

Maine game warden Mike Bowditch has been sent into exile, transferred by his superiors to a remote outpost on the Canadian border. When a blizzard descends on the coast, Bowditch is called to the rustic cabin of a terrified couple. A raving and halffrozen man has appeared at their door, claiming his friend is lost in the storm. But what starts as a rescue mission in the wilderness soon becomes a baffling murder investigation. The dead man is a notorious drug dealer, and state police detectives suspect it was his own friend who killed him. Bowditch isn’t so sure, but his vow not to interfere in the case is tested when he finds himself powerfully attracted to a beautiful woman with a dark past and a troubled young son. The boy seems to know something about what really happened in the blizzard, but he is keeping his secrets locked in a cryptic notebook, and Mike fears for the safety of the strange child. Meanwhile, an anonymous tormentor has decided to make the new warden’s life a living hell. Alone and outgunned, Bowditch turns for assistance to his old friend, the legendary bush pilot Charley Stevens. But in this snowbound landscape—where smugglers wage blood feuds by night—help seems very far away indeed. If Bowditch is going to catch a killer, he must survive on his own wits and discover strength he never knew he possessed.

Death at SeaWorld Shamu and the Dark Side of Killer Whales in Captivity

David Kirby

"Kirby makes a passionate case . . . He tells the story like a thriller." —The Wall Street Journal

Death at SeaWorld centers on the battle with the multimillion-dollar marine park industry over the controversial and even lethal ramifications of keeping killer whales in captivity. Following the story of Naomi Rose, a marine biologist and animal advocate at the Humane Society of the U.S., Kirby tells the gripping story of the two-decade fight against PR-savvy SeaWorld, which came to a head with the tragic death of trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010. Kirby puts that horrific animal-on-human attack in context. Brancheau’s death was the most publicized among several brutal attacks that have occurred at Sea World and other marine mammal theme parks.   Death at SeaWorld introduces real people taking part in this debate, from former trainers turned animal rights activists to the men and women that champion SeaWorld and the captivity of whales. Finally Kirby covers the media backlash, the eyewitnesses who come forward to challenge SeaWorld’s glossy image, and the groundbreaking OSHA case that may spell the end of having trainers in the water with the ocean’s top predators.

PRAISE

"Chilling . . . a compelling scientific argument." —New Scientist “Fascinating and deeply disturbing.” —Christian Science Monitor

"As David Kirby so eloquently documents in this timely work, killer-whale captivity only benefits the captors.  It is impossible to read Death at SeaWorld and come to any other

conclusion.”—Jane Goodall

"Gripping . . . Hard to put down." —Booklist (starred)

DAVID KIRBY is the author of Evidence of Harm, which was a New York Times bestseller, winner of the 2005 Investigative Reporters and Editors award for best book, and a finalist for the New York Public Library Helen Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism, and Animal Factory, an acclaimed investigation into the environmental impact of factory farms. His science writing was selected for The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2012. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

What Women Want A Novel

Fanny Blake

"A novel to savor and share ... Fanny writes with hilarity, warmth and truth about how to navigate the tricky waters of womanhood." --Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author

Bea, Kate, and Ellen have always known that they can depend on each other no matter what. And it’s a good thing, too, because each is finding the latest phase in life . . . challenging. Bea’s contending with a new boss, power-hungry colleagues, and a difficult teenage son, not to mention the anxieties of returning to the dating game. Stressed-out doctor Kate is coping with an empty nest and the growing realization that her marriage has lost its shine. But when Ellen, a widow who has devoted herself to her children and her art gallery for the last ten years, falls head over heels in love with Oliver, the long-term bonds of these three friends is put to the test. Bea and Kate are driven away from their friend and from each other as they react differently to this unfamiliar stranger in their midst.  Brimming with humor and empathy, Fanny Blake's What Women Want is a heartwarming debut novel about love and life and the challenges of female friendship that women face as they try to decide what they want—and come to realize what they really need.

A Place In The Country Elizabeth Adler

From The New York Times bestselling author comes an emotionally powerful novel about mothers and daughters, the secrets they share, and those they keep to themselves.

Fifteen-year-old Issy and her newly single mother, Caroline Evans, are struggling to find their way alone, as well as together. At thirty-eight, with little money and all the responsibility for the two of them, Caroline is coming to terms with her new situation. When she decides to leave Singapore, home of her former well-off life (and her cheating husband and his longtime mistress), she ends up living in an English village pub, cooking dinners there to earn enough to get by, meeting unexpectedly quirky people, and making friends. But Issy still adores her father and secretly blames her mother for their change in life.

Just as Caroline’s dream of converting an old barn into a restaurant finally begins to take shape, her chance at happiness is threatened and hangs in the balance as whispers of murder and vengeance find their way to her. When Issy, who is hovering in that limbo between girl and young woman, begins to make some risky choices, the stakes are raised even higher.

A Place in the Country is filled with emotions every woman will recognize as Caroline and Issy make their way in the world and do battle with those who would wish to see them lose their chances to gain their hearts’ desires. Love and hate, blame and responsibility, deception and trust all collide in this novel that is Elizabeth Adler at her page-turning best.

The Tudor Conspiracy A Novel

C. W. Gortner

Hunted by a shadowy foe in Bloody Mary’s court, Brendan Prescott plunges into London’s treacherous underworld to unravel a dark conspiracy that could make Elizabeth queen—or send her to her death

England, 1553: Harsh winter encroaches upon the realm. Mary Tudor has become queen to popular acclaim and her enemies are imprisoned in the Tower. But when she’s betrothed to Philip, Catholic prince of Spain, putting her Protestant subjects in peril, rumors of a plot to depose her swirl around the one person whom many consider to be England’s heir and only hope—the queen’s half-sister, Princess Elizabeth.

Haunted by his past, Brendan Prescott lives far from the intrigues of court. But his time of refuge comes to an end when his foe and mentor, the spymaster Cecil, brings him disquieting news that sends him on a dangerous mission. Elizabeth is held captive at court, the target of the Spanish ambassador, who seeks her demise. Obliged to return to the palace where he almost lost his life, Brendan finds himself working as a double-agent for Queen Mary herself, who orders Brendan to secure proof that will be his cherished Elizabeth’s undoing.

Plunged into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a mysterious opponent who hides a terrifying secret, Brendan races against time to retrieve a cache of the princess’s private letters, even as he begins to realize that in this dark world of betrayal and deceit, where power is supreme and sister can turn against sister, nothing—and no one—is what it seems.

"I" is for Innocent Sue Grafton

The New York Times #1 bestselling series reissued for a whole new generation of readers!

Another “IRRESISTIBLE” (Baltimore Sun) novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton

I IS FOR IF . . .

Five years ago David Barney was acquitted of the murder of his rich wife, Isabelle. Now, Isabelle’s ex-husband, Ken Voigt—who is suing Barney for her estate—is claiming the jury made a fatal mistake...

I IS FOR INDICTMENT . . .

Enter P.I. Kinsey Millhone, who takes the Barney case over from a former colleague…and comes up with more questions than answers. Why are Mr. Barney’s witnesses denying ever having spoken to him? Why did Isabelle have so many enemies—including but not limited to her best friend, Voight’s second wife, and her own twin sister?

I IS FOR INNOCENT

But the most troubling question of all is: Why is it that everything David Barney has to say about his beloved Isabelle still checks out? Now it’s up to Kinsey to figure out who’s getting away with murder . . . .before she courts her own.

Spy the Lie Former CIA Officers Teach You How to Detect Deception

Philip Houston, Michael Floyd, and Susan Carnicero with Don Tennant

The revolutionary New York Times bestseller by three former CIA officers, among the world's foremost authorities on recognizing deceptive behavior—now available in trade paperback

Imagine how different your life would be if you could tell whether someone was lying or telling you the truth. Be it hiring a new employee, investing in a financial interest, speaking with your child about drugs, confronting your significant other about suspected infidelity, or even dating someone new, having the ability to unmask a lie can have far-reaching and even life-altering consequences.

As former CIA officers, Philip Houston, Michael Floyd, and Susan Carnicero are among the world’s best at recognizing deceptive behavior. Spy the Lie chronicles the captivating story of how they used a methodology Houston developed to detect deception in the counterterrorism and criminal investigation realms, and shows how these techniques can be applied in our daily lives.

Through fascinating anecdotes from their intelligence careers, the authors teach readers how to recognize deceptive behaviors, both verbal and nonverbal, that we all tend to display when we respond to questions untruthfully. For the first time, they share with the general public their methodology and their secrets to the art of asking questions that elicit the truth.

Spy the Lie is a game-changer. You may never read another book that has a more dramatic impact on your career, your relationships, or your future.

PRAISE

"A captivating read with practical takeaway you’ll use every day.” —John Miller, senior

“Consciously or not, we all judge others’ sincerity and truthfulness to protect ourselves. Most of us do it badly. This book will teach you to do it well.” —Robert Grenier, chairman of ERG Partners, former director of the CIA Counter-Terrorism Center

PHILIP HOUSTON's twenty-five-year career with the CIA included thousands of interviews and interrogations for the CIA and other federal agencies, both as an investigator and as a polygraph examiner. He, along with former CIA officers MIKE FLOYD and SUSAN CARNICERO, founded Qverity, a provider of behavioral analysis and screening services for private- and public-sector clients worldwide.

Wren's world has changed. The thing that she fought for, escaping the dome has come to fruition, but it's not the paradise she thought it would be. Most of the shiners have died, and according to James, she is to blame for many of the deaths, a burden which sits heavy on her shoulders.  Still some have survived and Wren is determined to keep them safe as they fight to establish a home outside while hiding from the rovers who have weapons that can kill  from far away. But as long as she has Pace she knows everything will be fine. Still Wren wonders, as she sees the smoke that continually pours forth from the dome, how did her friends inside fare? Will they ever find out if Lucy, David, Jill and Harry, along with Pace's mother survive the explosions? Meanwhile, someone else has also seen the smoke. A band of explorers from across the sea arrive in an airship, curious about the dome, and offering help to those who survive. When Wren meets the handsome Levi Addison, she suddenly questions her love for Pace as Levi offers to show her the world from his airship. Does she really love Pace? Or was it just the circumstances that made her think she did? Meanwhile, word arrives from inside via Pip, and Wren is forced to go back inside the dome, a thing that terrifies her more than anything else, to save her friends. Once she's back inside will she be able to escape again?

In the Shadows of Paris A Victor Legris Mystery

Claude Izner

A murderer is at large in Belle Époque Paris in the fifth installment of this très magnifique Victor Legris series by Claude Izner

In the turbulent Parisian summer of 1893, Victor Legris has vowed to his fiancée to give up the dangerous hobby of amateur sleuthing to concentrate on selling books.

But a killer is at large, leaving mysterious references to a leopard in his notes, and intent on revenge for events that took place many years before during the Commune. When a bookbinder friend of Victor’s dies in a house fire that does not seem to be accidental, the young bookseller feels impelled to resume his detective work and uncover the identity of the Batignolles predator. Alongside his trusty assistant Jojo, Victor embarks on a new investigation in the bourgeois quarters of Paris, where scoundrels abound and streethawkers call out their wares among market stalls, under the bloody shadow of the Commune.

The Good Dream Donna VanLiere

From The New York Times bestselling author comes a poignant, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting novel about an unlikely path to motherhood, and of two lost souls healing each other

Tennessee, 1950: Still single and in her early thirties, Ivorie Walker is considered an old maid—a label she takes with good humor and a grain of salt. But when her mother dies, leaving her to live alone in the house she grew up in, to work the farm she was raised to take care of, she finds herself lost in a kind of loneliness she hadn’t expected. After years of rebuffing the advances of imperfect yet eligible bachelors from her small town, Ivorie is without companionship, but with more love in her heart and time on her hands than she knows what to do with. Her life soon changes when a feral, dirty-faced boy who has been sneaking onto her land to steal from her garden comes into her life. Even though he runs back into the hills as quickly as he arrives, she’s determined to find out who he is because something about the young boy haunts her. What would make him desperate enough to steal and eat from her garden? But what she can’t imagine is what the boy faces, each day and night, in the filthy lean-to hut miles up in the hills. Who is he? How did he come to live in the hills? Where did he come from? And, more important, can she save him? As Ivorie steps out of her comfort zone to uncover the answers, she unleashes a firestorm in the town—a community that would rather let secrets stay secret. The Good Dream is a story of redemption and the true meaning of familial love.

PRAISE

"The Good Dream is a great story of people saving each other in the unlikeliest ways. A heartwarming winner of a book."  -- Jenna Blum, bestselling author of The Stormchasers

All Our Pretty Songs Sarah McCarry

The first book in an exciting YA trilogy, this is the story of two best friends on the verge of a terrifying divide when they begin to encounter a cast of strange and mythical characters.  

Set against the lush, magical backdrop of the Pacific Northwest, two inseparable best friends who have grown up like sisters—the charismatic, mercurial, and beautiful Aurora and the devoted, soulful, watchful narrator—find their bond challenged for the first time ever when a mysterious and gifted musician named Jack comes between them. Suddenly, each girl must decide what matters most: friendship, or love. What both girls don’t know is that the stakes are even higher than either of them could have imagined. They’re not the only ones who have noticed Jack’s gift; his music has awakened an ancient evil—and a world both above and below which may not be mythical at all.  The real and the mystical; the romantic and the heartbreaking all begin to swirl together, carrying the two on journey that is both enthralling and terrifying.

And it’s up to the narrator to protect the people she loves—if she can.

Death in the Floating City A Lady Emily Mystery

Tasha Alexander

The Huffington Post calls Alexander "one to watch—and read" and this stunning New York Times bestseller proves it as Lady Emily rushes to Venice to aid an old enemy and solve a brutal murder

Years ago, Emily's childhood nemesis, Emma Callum, scandalized polite society when she eloped with an Italian count. But now her father-in-law lies murdered, and her husband has fled, making him the prime suspect. Alone in her empty palazzo, there's no one Emma can turn to for help but Emily, who leaves at once with her husband, the dashing Colin Hargreaves, for Venice.

When a fifteenth century ring is found in the hand of the slain man, the mysteries of the past and present become entwined, and in order to find the murderer, Emily must first unravel the secret of a centuries old love affair.

Her investigations take her through the canals of the ancient city, from opulent palazzi to slums, libraries, and bordellos. But the past does not give up its secrets easily, especially when these revelations might threaten the interests of some very powerful people, and Emily finds herself stalked by an ominous masked figure, determined to keep her from solving the case at any cost.

PRAISE

"Tasha Alexander has created Victorian London's most colorful and delightfully eccentric sleuth." —Jacqueline Winspear on A Crimson Warning

“Tasha Alexander is one to watch—and read . . . Lady Emily's evolution is fascinating, bookended by restrictive mores and worldly ambitions, filled with dashing suitors, amusing scoundrels and diabolical fiends, plus ladies dear and trustworthy (and alarmingly otherwise).”—The Huffington Post on Dangerous to Know

“Emily is a most independent woman for her time. Her voice and the accurate historical details will keep the reader enthralled.”—Romantic Times (4 ½ stars) on Tears of Pearl

TASHA ALEXANDER attended the University of Notre Dame, where she signed on as an English major in order to have a legitimate excuse for spending all her time reading. She lived in Amsterdam, London, Wyoming, Vermont, Connecticut, and Tennessee before settling in Chicago.

Prep School Confidential Kara Taylor

In this breathtaking debut that reads like Gossip Girl crossed with Twin Peaks, a Queen Bee at a blue-blooded New England prep school stumbles into a murder mystery

Meet Anne Dowling – a fresh, original, and funny new YA heroine whose knowing, irreverent voice will remind readers of Pretty Little Liars and Private. Anne practically runs her exclusive prep school on New York’s Upper East Side—that is, until she burns part of it down. Accidentally. Her lawyer father decides to send his not-quite-so-innocent only daughter to a prestigious boarding school outside of Boston.  Determined to reform her bad girl ways and make it back to New York, making friends at the Wheatley School is the last thing Anne cares about. There is one girl Anne is able to stand, though—her roommate Isabella.  That is, until Isabella’s body is found in the woods behind the school. Anne is convinced someone knows what happened to Isabella the night she was viciously murdered—but no one is talking. That’s when Anne starts to notice how old and creepy the Wheatley School really is. When she meets Isabella’s twin brother and learns he also thinks the school might be covering up the truth about Isabella’s death, Anne can’t help it…she starts poking around.  Utilizing her lock-picking skills, unmistakable charm, and the help of a cute classmate named Brent, Anne discovers that Isabella wasn’t quite the innocent nerdy girl she pretended to be. But someone will do anything to stop Anne’s snooping around in this fast-paced, unputdownable read—even if it means framing her for Isabella’s murder.

Recipe for a Happy Life A Novel

Brenda Janowitz

A grand dame rules over three generations of women from her Hamptons estate, and her granddaughter realizes that the recipe for a happy life may be very different from her family's expectations

Hannah Goodman isn’t like everyone else. Her mother, Gray, is an award-winning photojournalist with little time for the banalities of caring for a child, so she's mostly raised by her grandmother—a glamorous widow known for her charm, as well as the fact that she’s been married nearly as many times as Elizabeth Taylor. Despite her mother's great wealth, Gray is determined that Hannah resist the siren song of the trust fund set, and make her own way in the world.  And Hannah did just that—becoming a lawyer in New York City. Hannah has it all, or so it seems, until one hot June day when the carefully constructed pieces of her life break apart. That’s when she seeks solace at her grandmother's Hamptons estate. And that’s when she learns that there's more than one recipe for perfection.

Fast-paced, charming, and full of heart, Recipe for a Happy Life sweeps you into a world in which fabulous beach-front cocktail parties are a regular occurrence, and the cure for social awkwardness is a perfectly-placed quip, but the boy in the mansion next door might just turn out to be the one thing that keeps you grounded when reality sets in. A memorable story about one memorable summer.

The Unfaithful Queen A Novel of Henry VIII's Fifth Wife

Carolly Erickson

From The New York Times bestselling author of The Last Wife of Henry VIII comes a novel about Catherine Howard, the second of Henry's wives to end her life on the headman's scaffold

Amid the turbulent, faction-ridden late reign of the fearsome Henry, eager high-spirited Catherine Howard caught the king's eye—but not before she had been the sensual plaything of at least three other men.  Ignorant of her past, seeing only her youthful exuberance and believing that she could make him happy, he married her—only to discover, too late, that her heart belonged to his gentleman usher Tom Culpeper.           As the net of court intrigue tightens around her, and with the Tudor succession yet again in peril because of Prince Edward's severe illness, Queen Catherine struggles to give the angry, bloated and impotent king a son.  But when her relations turn against her, she finds herself doomed, just as her cousin Anne Boleyn was, to face the executioner.   The Unfaithful Queen lays bare the dark underbelly of the Tudor court, with its sugared rivalries and bitter struggles for power, where a girl of noble family could find herself sent to labor among the turnspits in the kitchens or—should fortune favor her—be exalted to the throne.  

PRAISE

“The Favored Queen amply demonstrates, there is no trust among Tudors. A delectable serving of Tudor dish.” —Kirkus Reviews

Lone Survivors How We Came to Be the Only Humans on Earth

Chris Stringer

A leading researcher on human evolution proposes a new and controversial theory of how our species came to be

In this groundbreaking and engaging work of science, world-renowned paleoanthropologist Chris Stringer sets out a new theory of humanity's origin, challenging both the multiregionalists (who hold that modern humans developed from ancient ancestors in different parts of the world) and his own "out of Africa" theory, which maintains that humans emerged rapidly in one small part of Africa and then spread to replace all other humans within and outside the continent. Stringer's new theory, based on archeological and genetic evidence, holds that distinct humans coexisted and competed across the African continent—exchanging genes, tools, and behavioral strategies.

Stringer draws on analyses of old and new fossils from around the world, DNA studies of Neanderthals (using the full genome map) and other species, and recent archeological digs to unveil his new theory. He shows how the most sensational recent fossil findings fit with his model, and he questions previous concepts (including his own) of modernity and how it evolved.

Lone Survivors is the definitive account of who and what we were, and will change perceptions about our origins and about what it means to be human.

PRAISE

“When it comes to human evolution [Chris Stringer] is as close to the horse's mouth as it gets Lone Survivors should be the one-stop source on the subject. Read it now.” —Henry Gee, BBC Focus

“Combining the thrill of a novel with a remarkable depth of perspective, the book offers a panorama of recent developments in paleoanthropology . . . refreshingly politically incorrect.” —Jean-Jacques Hublin, Nature

“Readers seeking to advance beyond the usual flamboyant field researchers will enjoy this intense, detailed account of what the world’s anthropologists are doing, thinking, and quarrelling about.” —Kirkus Reviews

CHRIS STRINGER is the author of The Complete World of Human Evolution, Homo britannicus, and more than two hundred books and papers on the subject of human evolution. One of the world's foremost paleoanthropologists, he is a researcher at the Natural History Museum in London and a Fellow of the Royal Society. He has three children and lives in Sussex and London.

A Death in the Small Hours Charles Finch

From the critically acclaimed author of A Beautiful Blue Death and A Burial at Sea comes an intriguing new mystery in what The New York Times calls "a beguiling series."

Charles Lenox is at the pinnacle of his political career and is a delighted new father. His days of regularly investigating the crimes of Victorian London now some years behind him,  he plans a trip to his uncle's estate, Somerset, in the expectation of a few calm weeks to write an important speech. When he arrives in the quiet village of Plumbley, however, what greets him is a series of strange vandalisms upon the local shops: broken windows, minor thefts, threatening scrawls. Only when a far more serious crime is committed does he begin to understand the great stakes of those events, and the complex and sinister mind that is wreaking fear and suspicion in Plumbley.  Now, with his protege, John Dallington, at his side, the race is on for Lenox to find the culprit before he strikes again.  And this time his victim may be someone that Lenox loves.

PRAISE

"Superb . . . Boasting one of Finch’s tightest and trickiest plots, this installment further establishes Lenox as a worthy heir to the aristocratic mantle of Lord Peter Wimsey." —Publishers Weekly (starred)

“The murder mystery that Finch weaves keeps readers guessing.” —Mary Foster, The Associated Press on A Burial at Sea

“Finch vividly brings 1860s London to life [and] effortlessly inhabits his compassionate hero.” —USA Today on A Stranger in Mayfair

“Beguiling. . . . Character is very much at the core of these whodunits.” —Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review on The Fleet Street Murders

His first novel, A Beautiful Blue Death, was nominated for an Agatha Award and was named one of Library Journal’s Best Books of 2007, one of only five mystery novels on the list.

Hallie Elliot has a perfect life. She is an up-and-coming interior designer in one of San Francisco’s most sought after firms, and has just recently become engaged to Peter, a brilliant young journalist.

Heretic Queen Queen Elizabeth I and the Wars of Religion

Susan Ronald

From a critically acclaimed biographer and producer of The King's Speech, an account of Elizabeth I focusing on her role in the Wars of Religion that ravaged Europe in the sixteenth century

Elizabeth’s 1558 coronation procession was met with an extravagant outpouring of love. Only twenty-five years old, the young queen saw herself as their Protestant savior; aiming to provide the nation with new hope, prosperity, and independence from the foreign influence that had plagued her sister Mary’s reign. Given the scars of the Reformation, Elizabeth would need all of the powers of diplomacy and tact she could summon.   Extravagant, witty, and hot-tempered, Elizabeth was the ultimate tyrant. Yet at the outset, in religious matters, she was unfathomably tolerant for her day. “There is only one Christ, Jesus, one faith,” Elizabeth once proclaimed. “All else is a dispute over trifles.” Heretic Queen is the highly personal, untold story of how Queen Elizabeth I secured the future of England as a world power. Susan Ronald paints the queen as a complex character whose apparent indecision was really a political tool that she wielded with great aplomb.

PRAISE

“A triumph in an age when religion continues to be a matter of conflict.” —Antonia Fraser, international bestselling author of Marie Antoinette: The Journey

“Compulsive, engaging and vivid history, packed with eyewitness detail.” —Alison Weir, bestselling author of Mary, Queen of Scots

“A searing account of the dark underside of the Elizabethan golden age.” —Amanda Foreman, New York Times bestselling author of The Duchess

“Compelling . . . essential reading for anyone interested in the strife-torn world in which this most fascinating queen used both wits and diplomacy to safeguard her kingdom.”   —Publishers Weekly (starred)

Born and raised in the United States, SUSAN RONALD has lived in England for more than twenty-five years. She is the author of The Pirate Queen, The Sancy Blood Diamond, and France: Crossroads Of Europe. Ronald owns a film production company and was one of the producers on the Academy-Award winning film The King's Speech.

Hemingway's Chair Michael Palin

The hilarious and critically acclaimed national bestseller by beloved actor and author Michael Palin

Michael Palin is adored by fans for his roles in Monty Python's Flying Circus and memorable movies like "A Fish Called Wanda" and "The Meaning Of Life."  When his first novel, Hemingway’s Chair, debuted, it attracted raves from readers and critics alike, becoming a national bestseller.  This beautifully repackaged second edition, just in time for the publicaiton of Palin’s second novel, The Truth, will capture the hearts of fans both longtime and new.

Martin Sproale is an assistant postmaster obsessed with Ernest Hemingway. He lives in a small English village, where he studies his hero and putters about harmlessly--until an ambitious outsider, Nick Marshall, is appointed postmaster instead of Martin. Slick and self-assured, Nick steals Martin's girlfriend and decides to modernize the friendly local office by firing dedicated but elderly employees and privatizing the business. Suddenly, gentle Martin is faced with a choice: meekly accept defeat as he always has, or fight for what he believes in, as his hero Hemingway would. Filled with Michael Palin’s trademark wit and good humor, this novel is for anyone who has ever dreamed of triumphing over the technocrats and backstabbers of the world. Hilarious, touching and ultimately inspirational, Hemingway's Chair will make readers stand up and cheer.

PRAISE

"The book's strengths are...its dry, deftly understated wit; its careful plot and character construction; its clever, on-the-money dialogue...Those pleasures carry you a long way." —The New York Times Book Review

"What impresses most about Hemingway's Chair is [Palin's] firm command over the

basic craft of novel-writing. His book is well-paced, his prose carefully-hewn, his characters fully developed and convincingly human. And his comic timing is impeccable." —Washington Post

"Throughout, Palin's empathetic humor informs this perceptive tribute to the art of manliness." —Entertainment Weekly

MICHAEL PALIN is a comedian, novelist, actor, playwright and Python. He also happens to be one of the funniest people on the planet.

Jimi Hendrix A Brother's Story

Leon Hendrix with Adam Mitchell

“Leon gives us ‘Buster,’ the Jimi Hendrix only his family knew. Leon Hendrix gives us an entirely new, life-size portrait of Jimi." —Joel Selvin, coauthor of New York Times #1 bestseller Red

In this intimate depiction, Leon vividly recounts Jimi’s tough childhood in Seattle, and his amazing rise to fame. From Jimi’s experimentation with the sound and vibration of plucking wires attached to the posts of their brass bed to the moment he picked up his first stringed instrument, this is a fresh and personal look at an enduring icon from the brother who was there from the beginning. Leon illuminates the origin and meaning of classic Hendrix tunes, which Jimi would play for his brother over the phone as he wrote them on the road. He also chronicles the complicated Hendrix family dynamic, the culture of sex and drugs that came with Jimi's stardom, and his tragic death. This captivating account sheds new light on rock and roll's genuine legend.

PRAISE

“Mixed in with the Hendrix family melodrama are some great vignettes that truly give a glimpse of the real Jimi.” —Publishers Weekly

“This highly readable book reveals the origin and meaning of many of the classic Hendrix tunes.” —Tucson Citizen

“Heavy on tales of their youthful adventures (and misadventures) this celebrates the sweet, shy, protective older brother—who just happened to wear crazy clothes and set his guitar on fire.” —Houston Press

“A candid memoir of the Jimi Hendrix only he knew.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Leon warmly describes the brothers’ childhood in Seattle, providing a dramatically different perspective.” —Booklist

Electrified Sheep Glass-Eating Scientists, Nuking the Moon, and More Bizarre Experiments

Alex Boese

"Laugh out loud funny.” —Publishers Weekly

Benjamin Franklin was a pioneering scientist, leader of the Enlightenment and a founding father. But perhaps less well known is that he was also the first person to use mouth-to-mouth to revive an electric shock victim. Odder still, it was actually mouth-to-beak on a hen that he himself had shocked.   Filled with similiar stories, Electrified Sheep is packed with eccentric characters, irrational obsessions and extreme experiments. Watch as scientists attempt to nuke the moon, wince at the doctor who performs a self-appendectomy and catch the faint whiff of singed wool from an electrified sheep. Wildly entertaining, it is the perfect follow-up to the international bestseller Elephants on Acid.   “Delves into the extremes some will reach for the sake of science. . . . Mr. Boese reveals just how far some will go to appease their empirical curiosities.”   —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

PRAISE

“Boese’s fascination with obscure details makes the book frightfully interesting. It’s packed with enough material to challenge any would-be science-fiction writer, and proves truth in a lab coat is stranger than fiction.” —The Saturday Evening Post

  “Boese, a historian of science, once again takes readers on a romp through some of the weirder detours on the road to scientific progress. Here, short, lively sections follow groups of mad scientists in a range of fields, from nuclear physics to developmental psychology.”—Boston Globe

ALEX BOESE holds a master’s degree in the history of science from UC San Diego. The author of Elephants on Acid and Hippo Eats Dwarf  lives near San Diego.

The Incense Game A Novel of Feudal Japan

Laura Joh Rowland

In the wake of a terrifying earthquake, Sano Ichirō races to solve a crime that could bring down the shogun's regime

Japan, 1703. A devastating earthquake has left the city of Edo in shambles—even the shogun's carefully regulated court is teetering on the brink of chaos. This is no time for a murder investigation. But when Sano discovers the bodies of two young sisters buried beneath the rubble, he suspects that incense poisoning, not the earthquake, killed them. Worse yet, their father, a powerful nobleman, threatens to topple the vulnerable regime unless Sano agrees to track down his daughters’ killer.  With the help of his wife, Reiko, and his chief retainer, Hirata, Sano begins a secret investigation that jeopardizes his whole family. And with Hirata mysteriously neglecting his duties and an old foe plotting to overthrow Sano and the shogun himself, the shockwaves from the earthquake are only the beginning.

In Laura Joh Rowland's most powerful and evocative thriller yet, Sano and his wife strive to solve the case in a world that is crumbling around them.

PRAISE

Once again, Rowland sets the bar high for her hero, who must navigate treacherous political shoals as well as deduce the killer’s identity." —Publishers Weekly (starred)

"Excellent. . . . With mystery, excitement and a bang-up ending, this is one you won't be able to put down!" —RT Book Reviews (Top Pick)

LAURA JOH ROWLAND is the author of fifteen previous Sano Ichirō mysteries. The Fire Kimono was named one of the Wall Street Journal's Five Best Historical Mystery Novels; and The Snow Empress and The Cloud Pavilion were among Publishers Weekly's Best Mysteries of the Year.

Tasteful Nudes ...and Other Misguided Attempts at Personal Growth and Validation

Dave Hill

A hilarious book of essays from comedian,“This American Life” contributor, and rock god Dave Hill

Dave Hill is like any other guy just trying to make it through life. He has accidentally arranged a lunch with a high-end prostitute, he’s become an unwitting accomplice to the theft of three hundred pounds of meat, and he’s lost his innocence to a Japanese toilet. Average, run-of-the-mill stuff. His collection of mind-blowing (and mildly superlative) essays recollect the real life experiences of a grown man who hasn’t borrowed money from any of his family members in a seriously long time. Nearly every page is packed with red-hot action, startling emotion and borderline futuristic insights all delivered in scorching and largely grammatically correct verse. This collection is at once hilarious and touching. And if it ends up leading to sex for Dave, well that’s just a bonus as far as he's concerned.

PRAISE

"Hill has a knack for hitting the high points, eliciting some laughs, and then offering a poignant twist that reminds the reader there’s no two-drink minimum . . . Well worth a read." —Booklist

"[Dave] writes with a voice so powerful and funny and compelling." —John Hodgman "This book should affirm Dave Hill's rightful place as a major American humor writer." —Dick Cavett “[Hill is] so winningly funny, and it's thrilling to see how well his sense of humor translates to the page.” —Ira Glass "He is my idol." —Malcolm Gladwell "His skill as an effortlessly charming and fascinating storyteller makes the book hard to put down." —The Huffington Post

DAVE HILL is a comedian, writer, and musician. He has written for The New York Times, Salon, and The Huffington Post and is a regular contributor to This American Life. He has also appeared on Comedy Central, BBC America, MTV and is a regular host on HBO and Cinemax. Hill has his own variety show, The Dave Hill Explosion, at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatres in New York and Los Angeles, and London. Hill plays in several rock bands and is so good at the guitar that most people can’t even hand...

The Rosewood Casket A Ballad Novel

Sharyn McCrumb

“Eloquent, lyrical, and richly textured . . . There is no one quite like [McCrumb] among present-day writers. No one better either.” —San Diego Union-Tribune

With a career spanning decades, and superlatives from reviewers nationwide--whose bestselling novels have been named Notable Books by the New York Times and the LA Times--this is a unique opportunity to publish one of Sharyn McCrumb's most cherished novel. Now in trade paperback for the first time, fresh on the heels of McCrumb's return to the bestseller list! The stage is set for family drama when Randall Stargill lies dying on his southern Appalachian farm, and his four sons come home to build him a coffin made from the special cache of rosewood he has saved for this purpose.  Meanwhile, mountain wisewoman, Nora Bonesteel, prepares another box—to be buried with him.  Among them, a real estate developer is hovering over the family's farm bringing secrets and tensions to the surface. In a style both lyrical and beautifully detailed, with a narrative that flows from Native American lore and the burnished tales of Daniel Boone—up to the sharpest, and keenly realized landscapes of Appalachia today. The Rosewood Casket is a novel as hauntingly beautiful as the mountains that gave it charge--and a stunning addition to our collection of McCrumb Ballad novels.

PRAISE

"McCrumb's love for the mystical beauty of modern Appalachia . . . and her fascination with the history of the region add depth and charm to a story that's warm without being sentimental. A bestseller in the making!" —Booklist

“With fluid writing and sensitive telling, McCrumb presents her Appalachian series as perfectly as dogwood in the spring.” —Houston Chronicle

“The lyric writing pulls the reader from page to page. There also are the colors of the South that McCrumb stitches so masterfully into this hauntingly beautiful quilt. This book should be on everyone's summer reading list." —Richmond Times-Dispatch

SHARYN MCCRUMB is the author of The Rosewood Casket, The New York Times bestselling The Ballad of Tom Dooley and many other acclaimed novels.  Her books have been named Notable Books of the Year by The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. She lives and writes in the Virginia Blue Ridge, less than a hundred miles from where her family settled in 1790 in the Smoky Mountains that divide North Carolina and Tennessee.

The Last Rhinos My Battle to Save One of the World's Greatest Creatures

Lawrence Anthony with Graham Spence

“Riddled with heartfelt anecdotes, Anthony’s brave crusade to save these mammals . . . reads like a safari adventure, a history lesson, and a warning.” —Publishers Weekly

Conservationist Lawrence Anthony’s South African wildlife reserve protects elephants and many other animals, including several Southern White Rhino, an endangered species threatened by poachers. But while the Southern White Rhino is at risk, the Northern White is on the brink of extinction. In The Last Rhinos, he tells the story of his attempt to save these remarkable creatures.

When he discovered that only fifteen Northern White Rhinos remained in the wild, he knew he had to act. If the world lost the species, it would be the largest mammal since the woolly mammoth to go extinct. The rhino lived in an area controlled by the Lord’s Resistance Army, known for its brutality and use of child soldiers. In the face of unmoving bureaucracy, he convinced these armed rebels to protect the rhino, and in the process became a chief negotiator between the LRA and the Ugandan government.

An inspiring story of conservation in the face of brutal war and bureaucratic quagmires, The Last Rhinos will move animal-lovers everywhere.

PRAISE

“Anthony is a supreme storyteller and a man who certainly lived his life to the fullest. . . . If you are sitting on the fence about the destruction of our natural heritage—and more specifically our rhinos—this book should push you over the edge to do something constructive about it.” —The Mercury "A riveting account by a compassionate, dedicated man.” —Kirkus Reviews

LAWRENCE ANTHONY (1950–2012) founded the Thula Thula wildlife reserve in Zululand, South Africa; launched The Lawrence Anthony Foundation; and received the UN’s Earth Day award for his efforts to save the animals of the Baghdad Zoo. GRAHAM SPENCE is a journalist and editor. Originally from South Africa, he lives in England. Together they are the authors of Babylon’s Ark: The Incredible Wartime Rescue of the Baghdad Zoo and The Elephant Whisperer: My Life with the Herd in the African Wild.

Goliath Susan Woodring

In the small one-company town of Goliath, North Carolina, residents are powerfully affected by the death of its most important citizen, company president Percy Harding

When fourteen-year-old Vincent Bailey stumbles upon the body of Percy Harding, president of Goliath’s world-renowned furniture company, near the railroad tracks one perfect autumn afternoon, the town of Goliath is stunned: how could it have been a suicide? The company is the town's biggest employer--will it close in the wake of Harding's death? Harding’s secretary, Rosamond, is the only one who might  imagine how and why this great man fell, but that sense just nags at her and urges her to find out more. Harding isn’t the first person to abandon Rosamond: everybody seems to, from her husband Hatley, who walked out on her years ago; to her complicated daughter Agnes, whose girlhood bedroom was papered with the maps of the places she wanted to escape to. The town is Rosamond's anchor, but it is now quivering with change and uncertainty. High school girls are writing suicide poetry. A sidewalk preacher is courting Agnes. A troubled teenager plans to burn Main Street to the ground. Rosamond reacts by taking charge, by seeking to reunite the grief-shaken community with something joyful.   Brought to life by a cast of characters as varied and vivid as in any fiction—from Clyde Winston, the town’s police chief, to Goliath’s self-taught preacher Ray to Percy Harding’s unmoored widow Lela—Goliath’s appeal is as memorable as Elizabeth Strout’s Crosby, Maine, or Richard Russo’s Empire Falls.

PRAISE

"Melodious, deliberate, surprising, and full of those essential little moments that make up entire lifetimes. Readers who enjoy sinking into the layered details of small-town life should enjoy this rich portrait."--Booklist

"Woodring proves the best subjects for writers are death and love. She melds them deftly, almost magically, with word pictures that are simply astounding."--The Oklahoman

"A careful, contemplative study of the rhythms of collective grief.  Woodring's sense of the constraints and hard-earned pleasures of home rings as true and pure as a train whistle in the night."—Michael Parker, author of A Watery Part of the World

SUSAN WOODRING grew up in Greensboro, North Carolina.  Her previous publications are a first novel, The Traveling Disease, and Springtime on Mars: Stories.  She has been published in Passages North and a variety of other literary quarterlies and publications. She won the 2006 Isotope Editor’s Prize, has been nominated twice for the Pushcart Prize, and had a notable mention in Best American Short Stories 2010.  She lives in Drexel, North Carolina.

As a bridal shop owner, Mikayla Martin helps make women’s wedding dreams come true. Her own life, however, has become a nightmare since she witnessed a murder—and got an up-close-and-personal look at the killer. What’s worse: She knows she knows him. But the police, after doing an alibi check, don’t believe her. It’s up to Mikayla to prove them wrong…and do whatever it takes to solve the murder by herself.

So Nik goes to set her straight…but the moment he lays eyes on the fiery and determined beauty, he knows he’s in too deep. A woman this irresistible can only mean trouble and, sure enough, after sticking her nose in one too many places, someone wants Mikayla dead. Now Nik must find a way to keep her safe, clear his friend’s name, and find the real killer, who remains on the loose…

The Sins of the Father Jeffrey Archer

International bestselling author Jeffrey Archer returns with his most ambitious work of epic storytelling—a multi-generational saga of fate, fortune, and redemption that began with Only Time Will...

On the heels of the international bestseller Only Time Will Tell, Jeffrey Archer picks up the sweeping story of the Clifton Chronicles…. Only days before Britain declares war on Germany, Harry Clifton, hoping to escape the consequences of long-buried family secrets, and forced to accept that his desire to marry Emma Barrington will never be fulfilled, has joined the Merchant Navy.  But his ship is sunk in the Atlantic by a German U-boat, drowning almost the entire crew.  An American cruise liner, the SS Kansas Star, rescues a handful of sailors, among them Harry and the third officer, an American named Tom Bradshaw.  When Bradshaw dies in the night, Harry seizes on the chance to escape his tangled past and assumes his identity. But on landing in America, he quickly learns the mistake he has made, when he discovers what is awaiting Bradshaw in New York.  Without any way of proving his true identity, Harry Clifton is now chained to a past that could be far worse than the one he had hoped to escape.

The Heiresses Allison Rushby

Triplets are thrust into 1926 London to fight for their inheritance in this exciting new e-serial--now available for the first time in a print volume.

When three teenage girls, Thalia, Erato and Clio, are summoned to the excitement of glittering, fast-paced London—a frivolous, heady city full of bright young things—by Hestia, an aunt they never knew they had, they are shocked to learn they are triplets and the rightful heiresses to their deceased mother's fortune. All they need to do is find a way to claim the fortune from their greedy half-brother, Charles. Romance and the excitement of the city soon take hold even as they suss out the mysterious circumstances of their birth, and with each new piece of information, comes higher stakes.  With  the odds stacked against them, they quickly learn they can't trust anyone—least of all each other.

ALLISON RUSHBY is a novelist from Brisbane, Australia. She is the author of Shooting Stars and is addicted to the fake cheese stuff on corn chips and is a slave to her diabetic Devon Rex cat, Violet. All this is a far cry from what she wanted to be when she was five years old – a ballerina with pierced ears. She lives in Australia.

Now the Subject of a Major Motion Picture, in theaters May 3rd, 2013. Over six weeks on The New York Times Bestseller List.  Top Mob Hitman.  Devoted Family Man.  Doting Father.  For thirty years,...

Richard Kuklinski was Sammy the Bull Gravano's partner in the killing of Paul Castellano at Spark's Steakhouse. John Gotti hired him to kill the neighbor who accidentally ran over his child. For an additional price, he would make his victims suffer; he conducted this sadistic business with cold-hearted intensity, never disappointing his customers.  By his own estimate, he killed over two hundred men, taking enormous pride in his variety and ferocity of technique.  This trail of murder lasted thirty years and took Kuklinski all over America and to the far corners of the earth.  Along the way, he married, had three children, and put them through Catholic school.  His daughter's medical condition meant regular stays in children's hospitals, where he was remembered as an affectionate father, extremely kind to kids.  Each Christmas found the Kuklinski home festooned in light; each summer was a succession of barbecues and block parties.  His family never suspected a thing.

PRAISE

Praise for THE ICE MAN: "Carlo effectively tells the life story of the family man who spent 30 years as a professional killer, while hosting barbecues in suburban New Jersey." -New York Post "This is a work written like a novel... highly recommended." - Library Journal   Praise for THE NIGHT STALKER . . .

"We've all read novelists and true crime writers who try to put you inside-the-mind-of-the-serial-killer, but I can't remember one that succeeded with the physical and psychological intimacy of this collaboration between the writer and the killer himself."  --John Strausbausch, New York Press "An exceptionally well-told true crime tale." --Publi...

PHIL CARLO grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, amidst the world's highest concentration of Mafia members. His intimate knowledge of their walk and their talk helped him become a successful crime writer. His breakthrough, The Night Stalker, chronicles the brutal career of serial killer Richard Ramirez. Carlo lives in New York.

Beneath the Glitter A Novel

Elle and Blair Fowler

Now available for the first time in paperback, the bestselling novel from internet stars Elle and Blair Fowler

From internet stars Elle and Blair Fowler comes a scintillating new novel that takes readers Beneath the Glitter of the glitzy L.A. social scene.

After their make-up and fashion videos went viral on YouTube, sisters Sophia and Ava London are thrust into the exclusive life of the Los Angeles elite.  Here fabulous parties, air kisses, paparazzi and hot guys all come with the scene. Sophia finds herself torn between a gorgeous bartender and a millionaire playboy, and Ava starts dating an A-list actor.  But as they’re about to discover, the life they’ve always dreamed of comes with a cost.

Beneath the glitter of the Hollywood social scene lies a world of ruthless ambition, vicious gossip…and betrayal.  Someone close to them, someone they trust, is working in the shadows to bring the London sisters falling down. And once the betrayal is complete, Sophia and Ava find themselves knee-deep in a scandal that could take away everything they care about, including the one thing that matters most—each other.

This romp through star-studded L.A. is loosely based on the authors’ own experiences. Elle and Blair Fowler began posting make-up tutorials on YouTube and quickly became an internet sensation. Their videos have garnered a combined total of 148 million hits; they've been nominated for two Teen Choice Awards for Best Web Star; and they have their own make-up line. Elle and Blair have an ravenous online fan base.

Lullaby Amanda Hocking

The enchanting second book in the Watersong series by New York Times bestselling author Amanda Hocking now available in trade paperback for the first time.

Don’t miss the next chapter of Watersong, a bold new series that will enchant you, entrance you and hold you captive under its spell.

Now that Gemma has inherited Penn, Lexi and Thea’s curse—and all the strange new powers that came along with it—she has no choice but to run away with them. Devastated that she has to leave everyone she loves behind, she’s still determined not to give into the unspeakable hungers that plague her.  Unfortunately, they’re growing stronger every day and she’s not sure how much longer she can resist.

Harper won’t give up on finding her sister Gemma, vowing to get her back no matter what the cost.  The search draws her closer to too-gorgeous-for-his-own-good Daniel, and tests her fiercely-guarded independence like never before.  She’s always been the strong one who everyone else depends on…can she let herself depend on Daniel?

As Gemma and Harper plunge deeper into a magical world that they barely understand, it becomes painfully clear that Gemma’s old life may be lost forever.  But can she still hold on to her humanity?

The Book of Children Supporting the Freedom and Intelligence of a New Generation

Osho

An exploration of the truthfulness and spontaneity of the child’s spirit—the first volume in a new Osho series

Children have a natural authenticity and freedom, a joyfulness and a playfulness and a natural creativity. By the time they grow up, most of those children have been sacrificed to the gods of “productivity” and good behavior to the extent that only a nostalgia for childhood remains. As Osho says in this book, “It is the child’s experience that haunts intelligent people their whole life. They want it again—the same innocence, the same wonder, the same beauty. It is now a faraway echo; it seems as if you have seen it in a dream.” And while each generation may vow, with the best of intentions, not to repeat the mistakes of the past, they inevitably find themselves imposing their own inherited limitations on the new generation to come. This book calls for a “children’s liberation movement” to break through the patterns and create the opportunity for an entirely new way of relating as human beings. It is a guide for grown-ups in becoming aware of the limitations of their own conditioning as they relate to the children in their lives. And, with that awareness, to be able to know when to nurture and protect and when to get out of the way, so that children can flower into their highest potential and greatest capacity for joy.

OSHO is one of the most provocative and inspiring spiritual teachers of the twentieth century.  He is known for his revolutionary contributions to the science of inner transformation, and the influence of his teachings continues to grow, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Wake Amanda Hocking

Now available for the first time in trade paperback, fall under the spell of Wake—the first book in an achingly beautiful new series by celebrated author Amanda Hocking.

Gorgeous. Fearless. Dangerous. They're the kind of girls you envy; the kind of girls you want to hate. Strangers in town for the summer, Penn, Lexi and Thea have caught everyone's attention—but it’s Gemma who’s attracted theirs.  She’s the one they’ve chosen to be part of their group.

Gemma seems to have it all—she’s carefree, pretty, and falling in love with Alex, the boy next door.  He’s always been just a friend, but this summer they’ve taken their relationship to the next level, and now there’s no going back.  Then one night, Gemma’s ordinary life changes forever.  She’s taking a late night swim under the stars when she finds Penn, Lexi and Thea partying on the cove.  They invite her to join them, and the next morning she wakes up on the beach feeling groggy and sick, knowing something is different.

Suddenly Gemma is stronger, faster, and more beautiful than ever. But her new powers come with a terrifying price.  And as she uncovers the truth, she’s is forced to choose between staying with those she loves—or entering a new world brimming with dark hungers and unimaginable secrets.
