Little, Brown and Company

L I T T L E , B R O W N A N D C O M PA N Y Dear friends, On June 29 we will celebrate the day, 175 years ago, that Charles Little and James Brown officially formed Little, Brown and Company. Many things have changed since then, but the same enthusiasm for books and ideas that drove that union continues to drive us today. In this catalog you will find the new edition of a book that goes back to those beginnings. John Bartlett was a bookseller whose passion for le mot juste led him to assemble all the quotes he knew into a little volume in 1855. The 18th edition of BARTLETT’S FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS, edited by Geoffrey O’Brien, adds many new quotes from women and foreign writers, updating this important reference for modern users. Another legacy in this catalog is the completion, more than a quarter century after its inception, of William Manchester’s Winston Churchill biography, THE LAST LION. Manchester had written the first 200 pages and an outline before he died in 2004, and his hand-chosen successor, Paul Reid, has completed it in Manchester’s compelling style. A more recent milestone for Little, Brown in 2012 is our anniversary of 20 years of publishing Michael Connelly with his 25th book, THE BLACK BOX. Michael Connelly’s novels have 50 million copies in circulation worldwide, and this new book will further Connelly’s reputation as one of the great masters of thriller writing. And finally we celebrate the arrival of Tom Wolfe, with BACK TO BLOOD, his brilliant and panoramic story of the new America, starting from the heat of Miami. We are honored to have this great American writer join Little, Brown’s list. I hope you’ll take the time to savor the many, many delights herein. Scott Spencer’s pseudonymous horror novel, BREED. Michael Koryta’s astonishingly powerful thriller, THE PROPHET. And as moving a war novel as I’ve read in decades, Iraq veteran Kevin Powers’s debut, THE YELLOW BIRDS. As Thomas Jefferson said—quoted in Bartlett’s—“I cannot live without books.” I am sure you agree. Yours, Michael Pietsch

Once in a lifetime, a writer puts it all together. This is James Patterson’s best book ever.

Acclaim for James Patterson:

“James Patterson knows how to sell thrills and suspense in clean, unwavering prose.”

—People

For 36 years, James Patterson has written unputdownable, pulse-racing novels. Now, he has written a book that tops all of them. ZOO is the thriller that will define his career, the thriller he was born to write. All over the world, brutal attacks are crippling entire cities. Jackson Oz, a young biologist, watches the escalating events with an increasing sense of dread. When he witnesses a coordinated lion ambush in Africa, the enormity of the violence to come becomes terrifyingly clear. With the help of ecologist Chloe Tousignant, Oz races to warn world leaders before it’s too late. The attacks are growing in ferocity, cunning, and planning, and soon there will be no place left for humans to hide. With wildly inventive imagination and white-knuckle suspense that rivals Stephen King at his very best, James Patterson’s ZOO is an epic, non-stop thrill-ride from“One of the best of the best.” (Time)

Marketing

• Published with three cover designs and a mega marketing campaign—even bigger than James Patterson’s usual. • Yen Press will also be publishing a graphic novel edition of ZOO to coincide with the hardcover publication, as well as a manga spinoff to be published in 2013. • Like Stephen King’s ambitious novel 11/22/63 (Scribner, 2011), ZOO is the book James Patterson was born to write. • Patterson’s stand alone thrillers have been enormous bestsellers, selling more than 50 million copies worldwide. • Michael Ledwidge is the coauthor of several #1 bestsellers with James Patterson, including the Michael Bennett series.

James Patterson

is one of the bestselling authors of all time and sold more novels in 2011 than any other writer. He lives in Florida.

In the grass about thirty feet away, surrounding the truck, was a circle of tawny heads. All the lions had manes. They were males. Two dozen male lions. It didn’t make sense. Male lions just don’t do that. A pride of lions consists of a dozen or so related female lions and one, sometimes two, at most three or four males if it’s an unusually large group. Adult male lions who aren’t part of a pride will hunt alone. Never—absolutely never—in the wild do male lions congregate in large numbers. It just doesn’t happen. Except it was happening. I kept rolling with the camera as the male lions began moving. They moved forward for a few steps, then stopped to allow the lion behind them to go forward. They seemed like trained soldiers, coordinated, choreographed, synchronized. I expected Abe to stomp on the gas and get us the hell out of there. Instead, his mouth pinched into a hard set. Almost in a single fluid motion he raised the rifle to his shoulder, sighted, and fired. Off to the left, the head of the lion closest to the truck blew open, and the animal slumped into the grass. Abe was swinging his rifle around for the next one when the grass in front of the truck opened up and a golden blur streaked in front of the camera. A paw caught Abraham in the face, and there was a cracking sound as he flipped out over the driver’s door.

“The prolific Patterson seems unstoppable.” —USA TODAY

Little, Brown and Company 9

“Deeply compelling; every moment, every memory, every object, every move, are conjured up with a fierce and exact concentration and sense of truth.”

A major literary debut by a veteran of the war in Iraq: a haunting novel about two young soldiers trying to stay alive. “The war tried to kill us in the spring,” begins this breathtaking account of friendship and loss. In Tal Afar, Iraq, 21-year-old Private Bartle and 18-year-old Private Murphy cling to life as their platoon launches a bloody battle for the city. In the endless days that follow, the two young soldiers do everything to protect each other from the forces that press in on every side: the insurgents, physical fatigue, and the mental stress that comes from constant danger. Bound together since basic training when their tough-as-nails Sergeant ordered Bart to watch over Murph, the two have been dropped into a war neither is prepared for. As reality begins to blur into a hazy nightmare, Murphy becomes increasingly unmoored from the world around him and Bartle takes impossible actions. With profound emotional insight, especially into the effects of a hidden war on mothers and families at home, THE YELLOW BIRDS is a groundbreaking novel about the costs of war that is destined to become a classic. • There have been few novels written by veterans of the U.S.’s Middle East wars, and there is a large readership hungry for these important stories. • With its profound insights into war’s effects on families, THE YELLOW BIRDS is a rare war novel that appeals as much to women as men. • Kevin Powers falls in the tradition of the great chroniclers of the Vietnam war—Dennis Johnson, Karl Marlantes, Tim O’Brien, Robert Stone, and Stephen Wright. • Publishing rights have already sold in 12 countries worldwide.

Kevin Powers

joined the army at the age of 17 and served as a machine gunner in Mosul and Tal Afar, Iraq, in 2004 and 2005. He graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2008 and is a Michener Fellow in Poetry at the University of Texas at Austin.

For four days we had crawled along the rooftop grit. We slipped and slid on a carpeting of loose brass casings left over from the previous days’ fighting. We curled ourselves into absurd shapes and huddled below the whitewashed walls of our position. We stayed awake on amphetamines and fear. I pushed my chest off the rooftop and crested the low wall, trying to scan the few acres of the world for which we were responsible. The squat buildings beyond the field undulated through the tinny green of my scope. Murph’s breath was a steady comfort to my right. I had grown accustomed to it, the way he’d punctuate its rhythm with a well-practiced spit into an acrid pool of dark liquid that always seemed to be growing between us. I was awake. Out of the grey early morning the city became whole. White flags hung in a few scattered windows in the buildings beyond the bodies in the field. They formed an odd crochet where the window’s dark recesses were framed by jagged glass. The windows themselves were set into whitewashed buildings that became ever brighter in the sun. A thin fog off the Tigris dissipated, revealing what hints of life remained, and in the soft breeze from the hills to the north the white rags of truce fluttered above green awnings.

September hardcover

“Compelling, brilliantly written, and heart-breakingly true, THE YELLOW BIRDS belongs in the same category as Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried and Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead. Thus far the definitive novel of our long wars in the Middle East; this book is certain to be read and taught for generations to come.” —Philipp Meyer, author of American Rust

“Reading THE YELLOW BIRDS I became certain that I was in the presence of a text that will win plaudits, become a classic, and hold future narratives of the war to a higher standard….This is a superb literary achievement. I urge everyone to read it.” —Chris Cleave, author of Little Bee and The Other Hand


A masterful new thriller from the “superb”* bestseller Koryta: the killer of a teenage girl terrorizes a small town. ( *George Pelecanos) “Gangsters, a silent but heroic drifter with second sight, and a whopper of a Florida hurricane. How can you go wrong?”

Two brothers in a small Midwestern town: one the high school’s beloved football coach on the verge of a state championship, one scraping by as a bail bondsman. Their sister was abducted and murdered when they were teenagers, and they’ve been divided since that day. Now a new killing with ties to each of them has forced a painful and adversarial reunion. In a brilliant return to mystery fiction, Michael Koryta has written a deeply haunting and suspenseful novel that proves why Dean Koontz has said, “He’s now on my must-read list.” • Major movie news: Producer Chris Columbus has optioned and scripted The Cypress House, and New Regency has optioned So Cold the River, which has been scripted by Koryta and Oscar-nominee Scott Silver. • America’s greatest suspense writers love Michael Koryta: Stephen King, Michael Connelly, James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Dennis Lehane, Lee Child, Laura Lippman, George Pelecanos, and Daniel Woodrell are just a few of those who have praised him. • So Cold the River and The Cypress House will be published in LB mass market on 6/12 and 7/12, respectively, and both will contain a teaser chapter from THE PROPHET.

It was not hard to determine the proper cottage. Police tape and padlocks announced that. He walked to the edge of the porch but not onto it, just leaned against the railing with his hands on the weathered wood and stared at the door as the wind rippled by, pushing the branches of a low-lying, untrimmed hemlock across the shingles of the roof, the sound like a broom on floorboards. This was where she had died. This was where he had sent her. The place was empty. Bare-bones empty, not so much as a blanket on the beds. Unless the police had carried everything out, it would have been empty when she arrived, too. So she had not been given time to run. It would have been over quickly for her. Part of it at least. The chance of escape. That had been gone fast. He returned to the front porch and stared at the other cottages. They were close; two were within fifty feet, all five were within two hundred. A scream would have echoed through their paper-thin walls. But that would not have mattered, because they would have been empty. It appeared the entire place would have been empty when she arrived. A baited trap. The letters were just a game.

A startling new account of how the underrated

A

thrilling, exclusive exposé of the hacker collectives Anonymous and LulzSec.

Dwight Eisenhower saved the world from nuclear holocaust, by the bestselling author of The War Lovers.

In late 2010, thousands of hacktivists joined a mass digital assault by Anonymous on the websites of VISA, MasterCard, and PayPal to protest their treatment of WikiLeaks. Splinter groups then infiltrated the networks of totalitarian governments in Libya and Tunisia, and an elite team of six people calling themselves LulzSec attacked the FBI, CIA, and Sony. They were flippant and taunting, grabbed headlines, and amassed more than a quarter of a million Twitter followers. The computer security world—and world at large—realized quickly that Anonymous and its splinter groups are something to treat with dead seriousness. Through the stories of three key members, WE ARE ANONYMOUS offers a gripping, adrenaline-fueled narrative in the style of The Accidental Billionaires and The Social Network, drawing upon hundreds of conversations with the members themselves, including exclusive interviews. By coming to know them—their childhoods, families, and personal demons—we come to know the human side of their virtual exploits, and why they’re so passionate about disrupting the Internet’s frontiers.

Upon assuming the presidency in 1953, Dwight Eisenhower came to be seen by many as a doddering lightweight. Yet behind the bland smile and apparent simplemindedness was a brilliant, intellectual tactician. As Evan Thomas reveals in his provocative examination of Ike’s White House years, Eisenhower was a master of calculated duplicity. As with his bridge and poker games he was eventually forced to stop playing after leaving too many fellow army officers insolvent, Ike could be patient and ruthless in the con, and generous and expedient in his partnerships. Facing the Soviet Union, China, and his own generals, some of whom believed a first strike was the only means of survival, Eisenhower would make his boldest and riskiest bet yet, one of such enormity that there could be but two outcomes: the survival of the world, or its end. This is the story of how he won.

• Evan Thomas is the author of numerous bestselling titles. Sea of Thunder (Simon & Schuster, 2006) alone has sold over 100,000 copies in hardcover and trade paperback, and The War Lovers (LB, 978-0-316-00409-1, 4/10) was one of the most widely and enthusiastically reviewed works of popular history in recent years, receiving critical acclaim from a score of influential newspapers and magazines. • Discussion of nuclear warfare has again become prevalent particularly with regard to Iran and North Korea. • As the former Assistant Managing Editor of Newsweek, Thomas has great contacts. He is a regular guest on NBC’s Meet the Press, PBS’s Charlie Rose, Fox’s Imus in the Morning, and a frequent guest on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, among many other programs.

A big, panoramic story of the new America, as told by our master chronicler of the way we live now. “Wolfe is one of the greatest literary stylists and social observers of our much observed postmodern era.” —Time

As a police launch speeds across Miami’s Biscayne Bay—with officer Nestor Camacho on board—Tom Wolfe is off and running. Into the feverous landscape of the city, he introduces the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, a wanna-go-muckraking young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his Latina nurse by day, loin lock by night—until lately, the love of Nestor’s life; a refined, and oh-so-light-skinned young woman from Haiti and her Creole-spouting, blackgang-banger-stylin’ little brother; a billionaire porn addict, crack dealers in the ’hoods, “de-skilled” conceptual artists at the Miami Art Basel Fair, “spectators” at the annual Biscayne Bay regatta looking only for that night’s orgy, yenta-heavy ex-New Yorkers at an “Active Adult” condo, and a nest of shady Russians. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe’s previous bestselling novels, BACK TO BLOOD is another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times. • After 42 years with his previous publisher, Wolfe’s move to Little, Brown was covered coast-to-coast as a major news story. • Wolfe’s three previous novels, The Bonfire of the Vanities (FSG, l987), A Man in Full (FSG, 1999), and I Am Charlotte Simmons (FSG, 2004), have sold more than 3.6 million copies and became instant classics.

Back to Blood

Tom Wolfe

is the author of more than a dozen books, among them The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, The Bonfire of the Vanities, A Man in Full, and I Am Charlotte Simmons. A native of Richmond, Virginia, he earned his B.A. at Washington and Lee University and a Ph.D. in American studies at Yale. He lives in New York City.

“Nestor! … you look great! If you knew how good you look in a suit, you’d never wear anything else!” Nestor had never seen the WASP in such a cheery mood before. So he shot him a finger. But John was in such a good mood, he started laughing his head off over that. It was dead noon, and the sun was sheer murder. The whole sky was the pale blue dome of a heat lamp. Nestor hadn’t walked a hundred feet before he could feel the sweat pouring out for real. The parking lot was so still, he could hear their footsteps on the asphalt. Yet practically all the parking places for the tenants were occupied. Just then a hoarse, grumbling, transmission-slipping, piston-done-for bus, the small boxy kind, painted white, came groaning in off the road. The fender flared up in big curves like the wings of a pelican in flight. It pulled up not far from Nestor and John. On the roof a foot-high sign stuck up in the air from front to back: “SHOP ‘n’ BROWSE BUY BUS!” It seemed to be a bus service that took groups of people from their Active Adult and Assisted Living homes to shopping centers and back. The driver hopped out. Look at that suntan!—a skinny young Anglo who looked as if his hide was just shipped from the tannery! He hustled around to the other side … to help a lot of old ladies get off, judging by the voices. They didn’t sound tired. They sounded excited. “… but such … a … sale I’ve never seen …” “… who on earth needs four? But look in this shopping bag—go ahead, take a look in! …” “… didn’t even use all my coupons …”

Kill Alex Cross was “Patterson at the top of his

From the acclaimed author of the million-copy bestseller Room, a moving set of stories spanning centuries of journeys.

Detective Alex Cross arrests renowned plastic surgeon Elijah Creem for sleeping with teenage girls. Now, his life ruined, Creem is out of jail, and he’s made sure that no one will recognize him—by giving himself a new face. A young woman is found hanging from a sixth-floor window, and Alex is called to the scene. The victim recently gave birth, but the baby is nowhere to be found. Before Alex can begin searching for the missing newborn and killer, he’s called to investigate a second crime. When a third body is discovered, rumors of three serial killers send Washington D.C. into an all-out frenzy. Alex is too focused on the cases to notice that someone has been watching him—and will stop at nothing until he’s dead. With white-hot speed, relentless drama, and hairpin turns, FREE ALEX CROSS is James Patterson’s ultimate thrill ride.

The fascinating characters who roam across the pages of Emma Donoghue’s stories have all gone astray: they are emigrants, runaways, drifters, lovers old and new. They are gold miners and counterfeiters, attorneys, and slaves. They cross other borders too: those of race, law, sex, and sanity. They travel for love or money, incognito or under duress. With rich historical detail, the celebrated author of Room takes us from puritan Massachusetts to revolutionary New Jersey, antebellum Louisiana to 1960s Toronto, lighting up four centuries of wanderings that have profound echoes in the present. ASTRAY offers us a surprising and moving history for restless times.

An all-angles look at the players, coaches, back

A lifetime of letters, collected for the first

time, from the legendary musician and songwriter.

rooms, and boardrooms that made the Dallas Cowboys “America’s Team.”

John Lennon was one of the greatest songwriters the world has ever known, creator of “Help!,” “Come Together,” “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Imagine,” and dozens more. But it was in his correspondences that he let his personality and poetry flow unguarded. Now, gathered for the first time in book form, are his letters to family, friends, strangers, and lovers from every point in his life. Funny, informative, wise, poetic, and sometimes heartbreaking, his letters illuminate a neverbefore-seen intimate side of the private genius. This groundbreaking collection of almost 300 letters and postcards has been edited and annotated by Hunter Davies, whose authorized biography The Beatles (McGrawHill, 1968) was published to great acclaim. With unparalleled knowledge of Lennon and his contemporaries, Davies reads between the lines of the artist’s words, contextualizing them in Lennon’s life and using them to reveal the man himself.

Love them or hate them—the Dallas Cowboys are known as “America’s Team.” From Dandy Don Meredith and Roger Staubach to the three Super Bowls won by the unbeatable trio of Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith in the mid-nineties, to TO, Tony Romo, and the glitzy soap opera team of today, the Cowboys have been the NFL’s star franchise for 50 years. But the Cowboys have never been just about football. With their oil baron roots, overbearing, ego-driven owner, players who can’t stay out of the tabloids, a palatial new home that sets the standard for modern stadiums, fans as enthusiastic as cheerleaders, and cheerleaders who are as famous as the team itself, the Cowboys have become a staple of Americana. This is the definitive look at football’s Cowboys.

• Hunter Davies is collecting and publishing the letters with the full support of Yoko Ono Lennon. • This is the first time that a substantial collection of Lennon’s letters will be made available to the general public. • The Beatles’ first single “Love Me Do” was released in October 1962, and we’ll publish THE JOHN LENNON LETTERS just in time for the 50th anniversary. • Like New York Times bestsellers Life (LB, 10/10) and Just Kids (Ecco, 2010), which offered unique portraits of Keith Richards and Patti Smith, fans of all ages will be eager to read about Lennon’s life from his perspective.

Praise for The Drop:

“Connelly inherits the mantle of Raymond Chandler…. Their books share a kind of ambitious artistry that strains to reach beyond genre fiction.”

LAPD Detective Harry Bosch confronts the city’s and his own haunted past in #1 bestselling author Michael Connelly’s 25th book—and his 20th year of publishing. In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved. Now Bosch’s ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the “black box,” the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together. Riveting and relentlessly paced, THE BLACK BOX leads Harry Bosch, “one of the greats of crime fiction” (New York Daily News), into one of his most perilous cases yet.

The Black Box

Michael Connelly,

a #1 New York Times bestselling novelist and a former journalist, is currently at work on a documentary film project about Harry Bosch's jazz idol, Frank Morgan. He lives in Florida.

A woman named Anneke from someplace far away lay dead in front of him and he wanted to know who did it and why. The sudden rip of automatic gunfire split the air. Edgar dove to the ground and Bosch instinctively threw himself toward the wall of the appliance shop. Bursts of gunfire followed until finally they were quelled by shouting. “Hold your fire! Hold your fire!” “Jesus Christ, you believe that?” Edgar asked. “Like Vietnam or something. What the hell are we doing here, man?” “Let’s just go to work,” Bosch said. “You draw the crime scene, I’ll work the body. Let’s move.” Bosch squatted down and opened up the toolbox. Edgar kept talking. “Harry, did you see what you did when that yahoo opened up with the gun?” “Yeah, I ducked like everybody else.” “No, Harry, you covered the body. I saw it. You shielded Snow White like she was still alive or something. What was that about, Harry?” Bosch finally lost it and barked at his partner. “I don’t know! Okay? So let’s just go to work now and try to do something for her so maybe, just maybe, somebody sometime will be able to make a case.” “Okay, Harry,” Edgar said quietly. “Let’s go to work. We’ll do what we can.” Bosch nodded as he looked down at the dead woman. He was resigned. He knew the case was lost before it had even started. “I’m sorry,” he whispered.

November hardcover


The long-awaited final volume of William Manchester’s legendary biography of Winston Churchill.

P raise for The Last Lion, Volume 1:

“Manchester has read further, thought harder, and told with considerable verve what is mesmerizing in its drama…One cannot do better than this book.”

Spanning the years of 1940-1965, THE LAST LION picks up shortly after Winston Churchill became Prime Minister—when his tiny island nation stood alone against the overwhelming might of Nazi Germany. The Churchill conjured up by William Manchester and Paul Reid is a man of indomitable courage, lightning fast intellect, and an irresistible will to action. THE LAST LION brilliantly recounts how Churchill organized his nation’s military response and defense; compelled FDR into supporting America’s beleaguered cousins, and personified the “never surrender” ethos that helped the Allies win the war, while at the same time adapting himself and his country to the inevitable shift of world power from the British Empire to the United States. More than twenty years in the making, THE LAST LION presents a revelatory and unparalleled portrait of this brilliant, flawed, and dynamic leader. This is popular history at its most stirring.

—Philadelphia Inquirer

• Readers have been waiting decades for this final volume; its publication is sure to spark wide media coverage. • Little, Brown currently has more than 1 million copies of Manchester’s books in print—440,000 of which are from THE LAST LION, volumes 1 and 2. • The third volume covers the exciting and dramatic portion of Churchill’s life that earned him recognition as one of the greatest leaders in history. These are the years of Churchill’s extraordinary speeches, the rescue of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, the Blitz.

William Manchester (top)

was a hugely successful popular historian and biographer whose books include The Last Lion, Volumes 1 and 2, Goodbye Darkness, A World Lit Only by Fire, The Glory and the Dream, The Arms of Krupp, American Caesar, The Death of the President, and assorted works of journalism.

Paul Reid (bottom) is an award-winning journalist. In late 2003 his friend, William Manchester, in failing health, asked Reid to complete The Last Lion: Defender of the Realm. He lives in North Carolina.

“He chose settings with dazzling skill, where the symbolism of the moment could be captured on film, as with his visit later in the spring to the House of Commons after a bomb the night before obliterated the debating chamber. He was seen to have tears in his eyes as he surveyed the wreckage, and pledged, in a steady but strained voice, to rebuild the chamber. When a photographer appeared, his demeanor changed. The resultant photograph captured the scene, as choreographed by Churchill. There he stands, in profile, the sharp white northern latitude light diffused by a fine haze of pulverized stone, a scene of utter wreckage, the ancient seat of government smashed. Yet it is Churchill more than the wreckage the observer notes, his chin thrust forward in defiance, an invitation to Hitler to take another swing. His gaze in such photos is firm, and always directed at a particular shocked or bewildered bomb victim, or skyward, toward some unseen enemy, perhaps toward a higher power, though he put little faith in higher powers. His eyes are never downcast. There is a contemplative quotient to his stare, as if he were regarding a vista he intended to paint. And there is a calmness, too, as if his thoughts were simultaneously with the bomb victim— whether an old Cockney woman or the Commons itself—and some far away place. It is the hard, unsettling gaze of a man who has been wronged, and who is intent on righting that wrong.”

Brilliant, dazzling, never-before-collected

nonfiction writings by “a prose magician”. —Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Beloved for his epic agony, brilliantly discerning eye, and hilarious and constantly self-questioning tone, David Foster Wallace was heralded by both critics and fans as the voice of a generation. BOTH FLESH AND NOT gathers 15 essays never published in book form, including “Federer Both Flesh and Not,” considered by many to be his nonfiction masterpiece; “The (As it Were) Seminal Importance of Terminator 2,” which deftly dissects James Cameron’s blockbuster; and “Fictional Futures and the Conspicuously Young,” an examination of television’s effect on a new generation of writers. A sweeping, exhilarating collection of the author’s most emotionally immediate work, BOTH FLESH AND NOT spans almost 20 years of Wallace’s career and reminds us why A.O. Scott called him “the best mind of his generation” (New York Times).

A James Patterson holiday thrill: Detective

More than 120 delicious gluten-free recipes

It’s Christmas Eve and Detective Alex Cross has been called out to catch someone who’s robbing his church’s poor box. That mission behind him, Alex returns home to celebrate with Bree, Nana, and his children. The tree decorating is barely underway before his phone rings again—a horrific hostage situation is quickly spiraling out of control. Away from his own family on the most precious of days, Alex calls upon every ounce of his training, creativity, and daring to save another family. Alex risks everything—and he may not make it back alive on this most sacred of family days. Alex Cross is a hero for our time, and never more so than in this story of family, action, and the deepest moral choices. MERRY CHRISTMAS, ALEX CROSS will be a holiday classic for years to come.

Trained pastry chef, blogger, and mother of two Aran Goyoaga turned to gluten-free cooking when she and her children were diagnosed with gluten intolerance. Combining the flavors of her childhood in Bilbao, Spain, with unique artistry and the informal elegance of smallplate dining, Aran has created straightforward, comforting recipes that sacrifice nothing. Dishes range from soups and salads to savory tarts and stews to her signature desserts. With delicate, flavorful, and naturally gluten-free recipes arranged by season, and the author’s gorgeously sun-filled food photography throughout, SMALL PLATES AND SWEET TREATS will bring the magic of Aran’s home to yours. Fans of Cannelle et Vanille, those with gluten allergies, and cookbook enthusiasts looking for something new and special will all be attracted to this breathtaking book.

Alex Cross is ripped away from his family on Christmas Eve by a hostage situation that’s about to explode.

• The Alex Cross series is the #1 U.S. detective series of the past 25 years, with more than 70 million copies in print. • The small trim size makes MERRY CHRISTMAS, ALEX CROSS the perfect holiday stocking stuffer. • The most recent Cross novel, Kill Alex Cross (978-0-31619873-8, LB, 11/11), has more than one million copies in print. It will be published in mass market in October 2012.

Praise for Jake Tapper:

“One of the last remaining journalists in America who take the responsibilities of their jobs seriously, and thus place a premium on their credibility.” —National Review

Jake Tapper, ABC News Senior White House Correspondent, delivers an epic account of valor and sacrifice in one of America’s deadliest Afghanistan battles. At 6:00 a.m. on the morning of October 3, 2009, Combat Outpost Keating was viciously attacked by Taliban insurgents. The 53 U.S. troops, having been stationed at the bottom of three steep mountains, were severely outmanned by nearly 400 Taliban fighters. Though the Americans ultimately prevailed, their casualties made it one of the war’s deadliest battles for U.S. forces. And after more than three years in that dangerous and vulnerable valley a mere 14 miles from the Pakistan border, the U.S. abandoned and bombed the camp. A Pentagon investigation later concluded that there was no reason for Outpost Keating to have been there in the first place. THE OUTPOST is a tour de force of investigative journalism. Jake Tapper exposes the origins of this tragic and confounding story, exploring the history of the camp and detailing the stories of soldiers heroic and doomed, shadowed by the recklessness of their commanders in Washington, DC, and a war built on constantly shifting sands. • THE OUTPOST is a story imbued with the same harrowing action and courageous spirit that made books such as Lone Survivor (978-0-316-06759-1, LB, 6/07), Black Hawk Down (Atlantic Monthly Press, 1999), and The Last Stand (Viking, 2010) bestsellers. • Tapper, one of the rising stars of today’s media, has won acclaim for his tenacious reporting, and fair and objective coverage. He appears regularly on Good Morning America, has anchored World News with Diane Sawyer and This Week numerous times, and has been a guest on The Colbert Report, Charlie Rose, Real Time with Bill Maher, and The O’Reilly Factor. His writing has appeared in the Washington Post, The New Yorker, and the New York Times Magazine, among other places. • Tapper has won a White House Correspondents Association award for deadline journalism two years in a row, and had more on-air time on evening news broadcasts in 2009 and 2010 than any other network news reporter.

“Tapper, the network’s ambitious, telegenic Senior White House Correspondent, has made a name for himself as a tough questioner.... ABC’s tenacious reporter is already proving to be the new star of the White House press pack.” —Daily Beast

Captain Tom Bostick stepped out from behind the two boulders where they’d been huddling and began firing back at the enemy. “All right, we need cover,” Bostick snapped. “I think they’re coming from the ea—” An RPG came right at them from the southeast—possibly from the insurgents whom Ryan Fritsche and his men had been hiding from. It exploded and sent off a shock wave that threw all four men into the air. Up on the mountain, Lieutenant Dave Roller witnessed the RPG explosion. He saw Kenny Johnson fly down the mountain 30 feet, landing near the road. “Bulldog 6, Bulldog 6, where are you?” he called, using Bostick’s call sign. “Bulldog 6, Bulldog 6, come in!” There was no response. The call sign for Roller’s fellow platoon leader, Lieutenant Alex Newsom, was Bulldog 3-6. But Roller needed to convey something more than Army code would allow. He was worried their captain had been killed. “Alex, it’s Dave,” Roller told Newsom over the radio. “I need you back in the valley.”

James Patterson’s heartwarming holiday ro-

The homes of the American presidents, from

mance is reissued just in time for the holidays. Gaby Summerhill is ready to walk down the aisle, but who the groom is—is anyone’s guess.

the grand to the humble, with richly detailed narratives and gorgeous photographs.

HOUSES OF THE PRESIDENTS offers a unique tour of the houses and day-to-day lives of America’s presidents, from George Washington’s time to the present. Author Hugh Howard weaves together personal, presidential, and architectural histories to shed light on the way our chief executives lived. Original photography by Roger Straus III brings the houses and furnishings beautifully to life. From Jefferson’s Monticello to Reagan’s Rancho del Cielo, with fascinating and surprising stops between and beyond, HOUSES OF THE PRESIDENTS presents a fascinating alternative history of the American presidency.

The tree is decorated, the cookies are baked, and the packages are wrapped, but the biggest celebration this Christmas is Gaby Summerhill’s wedding. Since her husband died three years ago, Gaby’s four children have drifted apart, each consumed by the turbulence of their own lives. They haven’t celebrated Christmas together since their father’s death, but when Gaby announces that she’s getting married—and that the groom will remain a secret until the wedding day—she may finally be able to bring them home for the holidays. But the wedding isn’t the only surprise—there is one more unexpected gift, and it could change all their lives forever. With deeply affecting characters and the emotional twists of a James Patterson thriller, THE CHRISTMAS WEDDING is a fresh look at family and the magic of the season.

The newest Seven Deadly Sins mystery:

From New York Times bestselling author

A darkly enchanting tale of envy and revenge, set on a beautiful Greek island.

Nick Tosches comes a novel about a man, haunted by demons, who finds salvation in an unlikely source.

A jilted bride weeps on an empty beach. A local doctor is attacked in an isolated churchyard. Trouble arrives at a bad time to the backwater village of Morfi, just as the community is making headlines with a visit from a highranking government minister. Fortunately, where there’s trouble, there’s Hermes Diaktoros, the mysterious fat man whose tennis shoes are always pristine and whose investigative methods are always unorthodox. Hermes must investigate a brutal crime, thwart the petty machinations of the town’s ex-mayor and his cronies, and try to settle the troubled waters of two sisters’ relationship. But how can he unravel a mystery that not even the victim wants solved? Set against a sparkling Mediterranean backdrop, THE DOCTOR OF THESSALY is a spellbinding mystery about the dark consequences of envy.

Nick Tosches feels life ebbing out of him. He wanders New York City’s streets and alleys, immersing himself in the crowd, eventually retreating to a dimly lit bar. There, in the gloom, he meets a tantalizing young woman, and the night that follows is unlike anything he has ever experienced. Propelled by uncontrollable, primordial desires, he tastes human blood for the first time and is filled with a sexual and spiritual ecstasy. The revival quickly fades, and soon Nick is yearning for another taste of the elusive rapture. There follows a descent into madness and a darkness beyond any darkness he has ever imagined, culminating in a revelation beyond all darkness and all light as well. With his vast knowledge of ancient wisdom, Nick Tosches has written a beautiful and daring novel about man’s forbidden desires and attraction to the mysteries of life, death, and eternity.

with the city’s highest-profile cases affecting the powerful, rich, and famous—and a criminal mastermind has plotted a script of total destruction.

It’s every parent’s nightmare: a 15-year-old girl has disappeared. She was last seen hitchhiking along a scenic highway in rural Scotland, and the only other clue is a photograph sent from her phone. Two detectives, one of them retired, are working the case when they learn that there may be of other victims out there, stretching back a decade and more. The road itsef may provide them with answers, but a complicated case is only made worse by interference from conflicting witnesses, the police department’s own Internal Affairs division—and the ominous attentions of the missing girl’s gangster stepfather. On the 20th anniversary of Ian Rankin’s first American publication comes a novel that proves why he is one of crime fiction’s most enduring and bestselling authors, a riveting story of sin, redemption, and revenge.

When an all-star cast of Hollywood’s stars and executives arrive in New York for a film festival, NYPD Red is put on high alert. On the festival’s first day, a world-famous producer is poisoned at his power breakfast and NYPD Red moves into action. Detective Zach Jordan and his new partner Detective Kylie MacDonald—who is also his ex-girlfriend— catch the case. Before the day is over, they have two more wildly theatrical killings, and two more dead stars, and a city erupting in complete chaos. The killer has every murder and every escape, planned down to the last detail— and he’s scripted the most explosive finale ever. With largerthan-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists, NYPD RED is a mega-blockbuster from “The Man Who Can’t Miss” (Time).

From the acclaimed author of Blue Highways,

n adventurous ride through the most blisteringly hot regions of science, history, and culture.

PrairyErth, and Roads to Quoz comes a dazzling collection of travel tales from the road.

A bestselling scientist and nature writer who goes to any extreme to uncover the answers, Bill Streever sets off to find out what heat really means. Let him be your guide as you walk across burning coals and sweat it out in Death Valley, experience intense fever and fire, learn about the invention of matches and the chemistry of cooking, drink crude oil, and explore thermonuclear weapons and the hottest moment of all time—the Big Bang. Melting glaciers, warming oceans, droughts—it’s clear that today’s world is getting hotter. But while we know the agony of a sunburn or the comfort of our winter heaters, do we really understand heat? Written in Streever’s signature spare and refreshing prose, HEAT is an adventurous personal narrative that leaves readers with a new vision of an everyday experience—how heat works, its history, and its relationship to daily life.

powerful novel about love, obsession, and a woman’s wrenching choice.

space alien: sooner or later, some girl’s going to break your heart.

Once a free spirit who refused to be tied down, Anna is a 40-something single mother trying to put her life together after a bitter divorce. She crosses paths with a 20-year-old neighbor who could not be more wrong for her—and her life suddenly has a new focus. She is drawn to his youth, his easy grace, and his freedom from the constraints that rule her existence. Though she resists temptation in every way she can, Anna is soon engaged in a reckless and obsessive affair. The consequences are life changing. Provocative, headlong, and utterly compelling, THE BOY is the story of a woman on the edge, torn between love and lust, desire and duty. Lara Santoro writes in fierce, unflinching prose about the dark side of passion, motherhood, and a woman’s unthinkable rebellion.

In “Center of the Universe,” God struggles to balance the demands of his career with the needs of his long-term girlfriend. In “Magical Mr. Goat,” a young girl’s imaginary friend yearns to become “more than friends.” In “Unprotected,” an unused prophylactic recalls his years spent trapped inside a teen boy’s wallet. The stories in Simon Rich’s new book are bizarre, funny, and yet… relatable. Rich explores love’s many complications—losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it—and turns the ordinary into the absurd. With razor-sharp humor and illustrations, and just in time for Valentine’s Day, Rich takes readers for an exhilarating, hilarious ride on the rollercoaster of love.

• At only 27, Rich has already established his bona fides: he was president of The Harvard Lampoon, he’s published short pieces in The New Yorker, two books of comic essays and a novel, Elliot Allagash (Random House, 2010). The film rights to that novel were bought by Jason Reitman (Up in the Air). Rich spent four years as a staff writer for Saturday Night Live, where he earned four Emmy nominations, and currently writes for Pixar. • Two of the stories featured in this collection recently appeared in The New Yorker. • The author’s most recent book, What in God’s Name (RAB, 978-0-316-13373-9) was published in hardcover in 8/12.

deeply moving story about a self-help author confronting life’s ultimate question: Can love survive anything? Even death?

RIVATE BERLIN has the extraordinary pace and international sophistication that has powered The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Patterson’s #1 bestseller The Postcard Killers.

A novel about an unforgettable love, THE BOOK OF WHY asks big questions: Is there meaning in signs? Do coincidences matter? Does love ever really have to die? The answers to these questions are within you—at least that’s what writer Eric Newborn said in his megabestselling books and speeches. But the loss of his wife has left Eric with a failed belief system. In the wake of that trauma, Eric has become a recluse in his home on Martha’s Vineyard. A fan who tracks down Eric brings him back to memories of his wife, leading him closer to her than he’d dreamed he could ever get again. With a breathtaking twist at its end, THE BOOK OF WHY is a perfect, unforgettable love story in the tradition of Nicholas Sparks and Audrey Niffenegger.

• THE BOOK OF WHY explores many of the same selfhelp tenets that have turned books like The Secret (Atria Books, 2006) and The Power (Atria Books, 2010) into bestsellers and cultural forces. The intense “law of attraction” sections will help attract nonfiction readers and reading groups. • Nicholas Montemarano is already well known in writers’ circles and has had fellowships and residences at some of the most prestigious writers’ colonies and conferences in the country. THE BOOK OF WHY will introduce him to a wider audience as a gifted, deeply humane, powerful writer of fiction.

As the Private crew digs further into Chris’s past, a terrifying history is revealed—and someone very dangerous and depraved is responsible. And he’s not finished in Berlin.

F

rom the author of I’m So Happy For You, a wickedly funny novel about the pleasures and punishments of sisterhood.

Inspector Alex Morrow, dragged deep into a dangerous political sphere after investigating a robbery.

The Hellinger sisters are nothing alike. Or are they? Perri (“the Perfect one”), Olympia (“the Pretty One”), and Gus (“the Political one”) are bonded by competition, affection, and outrage. Perri and Gus always questioned Olympia’s decision to become a single mother. But even Perri, model mother and successful businesswoman, isn’t faultless—she’s been responding to an old lover who’s been sending text messages that would make Tiger Woods blush. And righteous Gus, recently separated from her girlfriend, is sure she’s losing it when she finds herself attracted to Perri’s frat-boy brother-in-law. THE PRETTY ONE is a sharp, hilarious, of-themoment story about the intimacy and distance between sisters—and about how we learn to get along with the ones we love.

It’s the week before Christmas when a lone robber bursts into a busy Glasgow post office carrying an AK-47. An elderly man suddenly hands his young grandson to a stranger and wordlessly helps the gunman fill bags with cash, then carries them to the door. He opens the door and bows his head; the robber fires off the AK-47, tearing the grandfather in two. DS Alex Morrow arrives on the scene and finds that the alarm system had been disabled before the robbery. Yet upon investigation, none of the employees can be linked to the gunman. And the grandfather—a life-long campaigner for social justice—is above reproach. As Morrow searches for the killer, she discovers a hidden, sinister political network. Soon it is chillingly clear: no corner of the city is safe, and her involvement will go deeper than she could ever have imagined.

• Denise Mina’s Alex Morrow series centers on a great new heroine who is beloved by readers, attracting a strong fan base with each new book, much like the Paddy Meehan series did. • Mina’s work continues to garner honors: The End of the Wasp Season (LB, 978-0-316-06933-5, 9/11) was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Mystery/Thriller Book Prize and shortlisted for the 2011 CWA Gold Dagger Award.

Hilly Wise is the son of one of the most powerful and wealthy lawyers in the United States. When Hilly meets Savannah, a young black girl on the beach at Cape Cod during the summer of 1952, his affection for her collides with his father’s secrets. The result shatters his family, and hers. Years later, Hilly sets out to find Savannah, and to right the wrongs he helped set in motion.

Nearly every American has heard of the Hatfields and the McCoys and their infamous feud, yet almost nobody knows the truth of this legendarily violent—and influential—clash in the heart of Appalachia. Contrary to popular belief, this wasn’t just hillbilly families taking potshots at each other: the Hatfields and McCoys were well-established landowners, who had intermarried and interacted for decades. But after the Civil War, things turned bloody. By the time the fury subsided, 13 family members lay dead, and the hostilities had become a national media spectacle as state officials and the United States Supreme Court were drawn into the grisly dispute. Filled with brutal murders, clannish loyalty, reckless affairs, mercenaries, and gun-slinging lawmen, THE FEUD is the riveting story of two frontier families struggling for survival within the narrow confines of a vast land.

A darkly suspenseful debut thriller set in

athers, sons, and brothers are bound by love and divided by history, in the dazzling second novel by prize-winning author Austin Ratner.

coastal Tasmania, where an idyllic calm is shattered by the death of a young tourist.

Isidore is a brilliant young man, driven in equal measure by grief at his young mother’s death, rage at his distant, abusive father, and his own fierce ambitions. When Isidore becomes a doctor and a father, the cycle of grief continues, and soon it is his son Leo who is left behind too young, but then grows up to be a doctor, as well. The story becomes Leo’s, an alternately heartbreaking and hilarious account of his cross-country road trip with his younger brother as they try to understand their family, their relationship, and their own futures. An appealingly oddball character, angry at the world but angrier at himself, Leo yearns for love and simple satisfaction. Through his eyes we see the power of family to both destroy and create, and the price and rewards of independence.

Sarah Avery’s reckless behavior has cost her a job, her boyfriend, and the independence she desperately craves. Reluctantly home for the holidays in the tiny seaside town where her parents live, her hopes for calm are shattered when she finds the body of a young female backpacker washed up on the shore. A year earlier, another woman went missing and hasn’t been seen since: is there a killer in this benign harbor? Journalist Hall Flynn arrives to investigate the murder, which has set the locals reeling. Haunted by demons of his own and yearning for a fresh start, Hall will do whatever it takes to break the story—and Sarah will do whatever it takes to keep her own secrets safe.

“As great a piece of American fiction as Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom.” —STEPHEN KING ON MAN IN THE WOODS

Alex and Leslie Twisden lead charmed lives—terrific jobs, a luxurious town house on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a passionate marriage. What they don’t have is a child, and as they attempt one infertility treatment after the next, yearning turns into obsession. As a last-ditch attempt to make their dream of parenthood come true, Alex and Leslie travel deep into Slovenia, where they submit to a painful and terrifying procedure that finally gives them what they so desperately desire. But even before Leslie gives birth, strange and really rather awful things begin to happen to their bodies…and to their minds. Ten years later, cosseted, adored, but living in a house of secrets, the twins Adam and Alice find themselves locked into their rooms every night. The twins know that the sounds coming from their parents’ bedroom are real. And they’re getting louder each night. Driven to a desperate search for answers, Adam and Alice set out on a quest for freedom…and for knowledge of the true nature of the man and woman who raised them. Their discovery will upend everything they thought they knew about their parents and will reveal a threat so horrible that it must be escaped, at any cost. • Chase Novak is the pseudonym of literary superstar Scott Spencer, twice nominated for the National Book Award. • Spencer was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2004.

There are some doctors who inspire confidence, and others who don’t. And then there are doctors like Kis, who inspire dread. We expect doctors to be clean and he is not clean. Though his hands are scrubbed and he smells of anti-bacterial soap, his uncleanliness comes from something far below the skin. His eyes are distant, his expression one of exasperation and superiority, his touch is impersonal and slightly harsh. The next thing Alex knows he is shirtless and, without a word of warning or a moment’s hesitation, Dr. Kis pierces the back of his right arm with a very large old-fashioned needle. It is amazingly painful, the sensation goes to the marrow of Alex’s bones, and while he is absorbing the pain Kis takes out another syringe, equally large, and injects Alex in the neck, frighteningly near the jugular. Alex’s heart races, he hears his own cry like the yowl of a fox in a trap. It crosses his mind that he is being murdered. When the pain subsides, he says, “This is not very much fun,” trying to be brave. At which time, Dr. Kis claps his hand over his left ear, pushing his head down to administer the final and most excruciating injection behind the ear. As he pulls the needle out, Kis steps back, as if he has just vanquished Alex in a fencing match.

“Remarkable...Crime fiction of the highest

Two missing girls. Two brutal murders. All

When Sienna Hegarty, a troubled friend of his daughter, arrives at Joe O’Loughlin’s door terrorized, incoherent, and covered in blood, he vows to unearth the dark secrets her mind has buried. The police find a major piece of the puzzle at Sienna’s house: her father, a retired cop, murdered. Tests confirm that it’s Mr. Hegarty’s blood on Sienna. She says she remembers nothing. Investigators take aim at Sienna. O’Loughlin senses something different is happening to Sienna, something subterranean and terrifying. It may be something in her mind. Or it may be something real. Someone real. Someone capable of the most gruesome murder, and willing to kill again if anyone gets too close.

During the worst blizzard in decades, a husband and wife are brutally killed in their home while half of London is without power. A suspect, the troubled young man who reported the killings, is in custody, unable or unwilling to explain his presence in the couple’s home. Joe O’Loughlin is certain the young man is hiding something—but with murders this methodical, and a suspect who exhibits the signs of developing schizophrenia, the young man seems anything but responsible. But if the suspect isn’t the killer, who is? And what do the murders have to do with the disappearance of the teenaged girl who once inhabited the very same room where the murders took place?

paranoid thriller for the post-9/11 age.”

—CNN.COM

Zed is an agent from the future, a time when the world’s problems have been solved. No hunger. No war. No despair. His mission is to keep it that way. Even if it means ensuring every cataclysm throughout history runs its course— especially the Great Conflagration, an imminent disaster in our own time that Zed has been ordered to protect at all costs. But what will happen when Zed’s present begins to take precedence over a perfect future? One that may have more cracks than he realizes? THE REVISIONISTS puts a fresh spin on today’s global crises, playing with the nature of history and our own role in shaping it. It firmly establishes Mullen as one of the most exciting and imaginative writers of his generation.

London, 1890. 221B Baker Street. A fine art dealer named Edmund Carstairs visits Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson to beg for their help. He is being menaced by a strange man in a flat cap—a wanted criminal who seems to have followed him all the way from America. In the days that follow, Carstairs’s home is robbed, his family threatened. And then the first murder takes place. THE HOUSE OF SILK brings Sherlock Holmes back with all the nuance, pacing, and almost superhuman powers of analysis and deduction that made him the world’s greatest detective—in a case depicting events too shocking, too monstrous ever to appear in print...until now.

• The novel spent five weeks on the New York Times extended bestseller list and has sold through two hardcover printings (80,000 copies). • Authorized by the Arthur Conan Doyle estate. • Interest in Sherlock Holmes has never been higher. The blockbuster film Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, starring Robert Downey, Jr., was a triumphant hit in late 2011. PBS’s Sherlock, one of the network’s most popular series, will begin a new season in 2012. • Horowitz is the author of more than 50 books, including the #1 New York Times bestselling Alex Rider series (Stormbreaker, Point Black, et al.), which has sold 12 million copies in English. He is also a popular film and television writer. • The novel has generated interest from science fiction fans (i.e., Tor.com) and also has crossover appeal for young readers of Horowitz and Conan Doyle. • Hardcover ISBN 978-0-316-19699-4, 11/11

There has always been a need in the spy game for covert missions so black no one in the American government, and almost no one in intelligence itself, knows of their existence.

Clay soon discovers the missing officer is only the beginning of the mission, and soon Clay finds himself protecting a desperate woman who believes a mole has penetrated the top levels of the U.S. government, throwing the international balance of power into jeopardy.

Warren Ellis reinvents New York City as a puzzle with the most dangerous pieces of all: guns.

WHISPERER is one hell of a ride. This story screams high tension, high stakes, and high velocity. Superb.” —Michael Connelly

After a shootout claims the life of his partner in a condemned tenement building on Pearl Street, Detective John Tallow unwittingly stumbles across an apartment stacked high with guns. When examined, each weapon leads to a different, previously unsolved murder. Someone has been killing people for 20 years or more and storing the weapons together for some inexplicable purpose. Confronted with the sudden emergence of hundreds of unsolved homicides, Tallow soon discovers that he’s walked into a veritable deal with the devil. An unholy bargain that has made possible the rise of some of Manhattan’s most prominent captains of industry. A hunter who performs his deadly acts as a sacrifice to the old gods of Manhattan, who may, quite simply, be the most prolific murderer in New York City’s history.

• The movie Red, based on Ellis’s graphic novel of the same name, was released in October 2010. Starring Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, and Mary-Louise Parker, the film was both a critical and box office success. Ellis’s graphic novels Black Summer, Doktor Sleepless, and Fell have been optioned for film and TV and he is adapting his graphic novel Gravel for Legendary Pictures (The Dark Knight, Inception). • Ellis is a brilliant self-promoter with over 400,000 followers on Twitter (www.twitter.com/warrenellis), 250,000 monthly visitors to his website (www.warrenellis.com), and tens of thousands of fans on Facebook. • In addition to his film and television credentials, Ellis has also written for many of Marvel Comics’ top series including X-Men, Iron Man, Wolverine, and more. He penned a weekly award-winning web comic called Freak Angels (www.freakangels.com/) from 2008 to 2011, and his graphic novel Planetary was a New York Times bestseller. He is beloved in the worlds of comics and graphic novels and a new novel by him will be covered in those arenas extensively.

Six severed arms are discovered, arranged in a mysterious circle and buried in a clearing in the woods. Five of them appear to belong to missing girls between the ages of eight and eighteen. The sixth is yet to be identified. Worse still, the girls’ bodies, alive or dead, are nowhere to be found. Obsessed with a case that becomes more tangled and intense as the layers of evil unravel, lead investigators Mila Vasquez, a celebrated profiler, and Goran Gavila, an eerily prescient criminologist, find that their lives are increasingly in each other’s hands. As sensational a bestseller in Europe as the Stieg Larsson novels, THE WHISPERER is that rare creation: a thought-provoking, intelligent thriller that is also unputdownable.

Keller, from bestselling author and Grand Master Lawrence Block.

May Lynn is a pretty girl who dreams of becoming a Hollywood star. Until her dead body is dredged up from the Sabine River. Sue Ellen, May Lynn’s strong-willed teenage friend, her friends Terry and Jinx, and Sue Ellen’s mother set out to dig up May Lynn’s body, burn it to ash, and take those ashes to Hollywood. If May Lynn can’t become a star, at least her remains can be spread in the land of her dreams. Pursued by Uncle Gene and Constable Sy, who are after the money they’ve found, and Skunk, an all-too-real legendary killer who’s after their lives, they begin to understand that when you set out to make the dreams of a friend your own, your worst nightmares might come along for the ride.

The conclusion of Hit and Run (HarperCollins, 2008) found Keller living in a big old house in post-Katrina New Orleans, with a new name, a new wife, a new career rehabbing houses, and a baby on the way. It certainly looked as though he was done killing people for money. But old habits die hard, and when the economic downturn knocked out the construction business, a phone call from Dot draws him back into the old game. His work takes him to Dallas, to settle a domestic dispute; to Florida, where he joins a government witness on a West Indies cruise; to Wyoming, where a house has burned down; and to New York, where he lived for so many years, and where people might remember him.

When Russell joins Black Arts games, the hottest studio in the game industry, he meets an eccentric crew of nerds hacking the frontiers of both technology and entertainment. But when their revolutionary next-gen game is threatened by a mysterious software glitch, Russell finds himself in a race to save both his job and the people he has grown to care about. The bug is the first clue in a mystery leading back 20 years through real and virtual worlds, corporate boardrooms and high school computer camp, to a secret that changed a friendship and the history of gaming. YOU is a thrilling, hilarious, authentic portrait of the world of professional game makers; and the story of how learning to play can save your life.

It’s the summer of 1942, and FBI agent Joe Lucas has come to Cuba at the behest of the Director to keep an eye on Ernest Hemingway in the Caribbean. Lucas thinks of it as a demotion—a babysitting job for a famous writer who has decided to play spy, assembling a team of misfits including an American millionaire, a twelve-year-old Cuban orphan, a Spanish jai alai champion, and more, in a would-be espionage ring Hemingway dubs the “Crook Factory.” But when Hemingway uncovers a critical piece of intelligence that both threatens his life and endangers the political landscape, the fate of the free world and the life of one of its most preeminent writers lies in the hands of the FBI’s most ruthless agent.

• THE CROOK FACTORY created the mold for Simmons’s genre and historical fiction hybrid approach that would prove such a success with The Terror (LB, 1/07) and Drood (LB, 2/09), which both debuted on the New York Times extended bestseller list. • THE CROOK FACTORY was originally published in hardcover by William Morrow (1999) and subsequently in mass market paperback by HarperTorch (2000). This is its first trade paperback edition.

Jamie Angelo is part artist and part alchemist. His plastic surgery techniques are light-years beyond modern medicine. He can transform a haggard face into a masterpiece of ageless beauty. He is not God. But he is close. To ambitious models like Jaishree Manglani, Jamie is the ultimate fantasy—a master illusionist who can turn her dream of eternal youth into reality. Until the truth about Jami’s “art” and “science” is revealed, and a nightmare ensues. Because if there’s no such thing as perfect beauty, Manhattan’s king of beauty might just be the gatekeeper of something other than human.

Andrea G. Stillman

An intimate artistic biography of America’s most honored photographer, as told through a selection of key photographs.

LOOKING AT ANSEL ADAMS is a personal and penetrating study that explores Ansel’s life as an artist by looking closely at the stories behind 20 of his most significant images. Immediately recognizable photographs like Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, and Mount McKinley and Wonder Lake are turned on their axes and seen from a new angle, along with ancillary photographs, alternative versions, and letters and postcards that relate to these beloved icons. Less familiar but equally important photographs provide unexpected insight into Ansel’s creative and personal life. For anyone with a love of the American wilderness and an interest in the life and work of the country’s most revered landscape photographer and environmental advocate, LOOKING AT ANSEL ADAMS is an essential and deeply satisfying book.

Hayat Shah is a young American in love for the first time. His ordinary life is distinguished only by his Pakistani heritage and his parents’ arguments—until Mina arrives, and everything changes. Mina is Hayat’s mother’s oldest friend from Pakistan. She is independent, beautiful, intelligent, and deeply spiritual, and she arrives on the Shahs’ doorstep in the wake of a disastrous divorce. Even Hayat’s skeptical father can’t deny the liveliness and happiness that Mina brings into the family. Hayat’s world is truly opened when Mina shows him the power and beauty of the Quran. Studying the Quran by Mina’s side, Hayat believes he has found his calling. But when Mina begins dating a Jewish man, Hayat is confused by his feelings of betrayal. His growing passions, both spiritual and romantic, compel him to act— with devastating consequences for those he loves most. • One of the most eagerly anticipated debuts of the season—and an immediate hit: three printings (42,000 copies) before publication. • A bookseller favorite: an Indie Next List pick and a B&N Discover selection. • Reminiscent of watershed, cross-cultural debut novels such as Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2003) and Monica Ali’s Brick Lane (Scribner, 2003), AMERICAN DERVISH paints a rich and enlightening portrait of a little understood segment of American society, making it ideal for reading groups. • Ayad Akhtar has a background in film writing and directing and has won multiple awards for his work.

tales in years.”

—Los Angeles Times

In an isolated stretch of eastern Kentucky stands a lighthouse that illuminates nothing but the surrounding woods. For years it has been considered no more than an eccentric local landmark—until its builder is found dead at the top of the light and his belongings reveal a troubling local history. For deputy sheriff Kevin Kimble, the death somehow suggests a connection between the lighthouse and the most terrifying moment of his own life. Audrey Clark is moving her large-cat sanctuary onto land adjacent to the lighthouse. Her husband, the sanctuary’s founder, died scouting the new property, and Audrey is determined to see his vision through. As strange occurrences multiply at the Ridge, Kimble and Audrey try to understand what evil forces are moving through this ancient landscape, just past the divide between dark and light.

After 9/11, the United States government embarked on an unprecedented effort to protect America. The result has been calamitous: after 10 years of unparalleled spending, the system developed to keep America safe may in fact be putting us in even greater danger—but we don’t know because it’s all top secret. TOP SECRET AMERICA lifts the curtain on this clandestine universe. From the companies and agencies keeping track of American citizens, to the military commanders building America’s first “top secret city,” to a hidden army within the U.S. military more secret than the CIA, this new national security octopus has become a self-sustaining “fourth branch” of government. In this bestselling book, Priest and Arkin offer a fascinating and disturbing account of government run amok and a war on terrorism gone wrong.

• TOP SECRET AMERICA was an immediate New York Times bestseller. A Frontline documentary based on the authors’ research helped generate tremendous media buzz. • Priest and Arkin won the 2010 George Polk Award for National Reporting for their original newspaper series on this subject, which was years in the making. • Despite campaign promises, the Obama Administration has expanded Top Secret America, making the book more relevant today than ever. • Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-316-18221-8, 9/11

book by one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

When Justice John Paul Stevens resigned, he was the third-longest-serving Supreme Court justice in American history. As a lawyer and on the court, he worked with five chief justices: as a law clerk during Fred Vinson’s tenure, a practicing lawyer when Earl Warren was chief, a circuit judge and junior justice during Warren Burger’s term, a contemporary colleague of William Rehnquist, and a colleague of current Chief Justice John Roberts. FIVE CHIEFS is his personal account of the workings of the court from his personal experiences with these men, and the controversial cases they deliberated over, from freedom of speech and affirmative action to capital punishment and sovereign immunity. Written with humility and grace, and packed with fascinating anecdotes, FIVE CHIEFS is an unprecedented and historically significant look at the highest court in the United States.

Jerry West is one of the most revered and enigmatic sports icons of all time, but beneath the surface lies a complicated man who shares his true story with unflinching candor. WEST BY WEST recounts West’s difficult journey from an abusive childhood in West Virginia (and the loss of a beloved brother to war) to his All-American success at West Virginia University and his brilliant 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He speaks openly for the first time about his lifelong battle with depression, low self-esteem, and his complex relationships with NBA legends Elgin Baylor, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pat Riley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kobe Bryant, with owners Jack Kent Cooke and Jerry Buss, coach Phil Jackson, and many more. Unsparing in its self-assessment, WEST BY WEST is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration, a book destined to be talked about for years to come.

• FIVE CHIEFS, which appeared on the New York Times extended bestseller list, is unprecedented in the history of the Supreme Court: never has a Justice written a book like this. • Full of illuminating stories about daily life at the Supreme Court, FIVE CHIEFS offers a window into one of America’s most sacred institutions, and will appeal to a wide range of readers eager for insight and knowledge about our highest court. • Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-316-19980-3, 10/11

Myfanwy Thomas awakes in a London park surrounded by dead bodies. With her memory gone, her only hope of survival is to trust the instructions left in her pocket by her former self. She quickly learns that she is a Rook, a high-level operative in a secret agency that protects the world from supernatural threats. But there is a mole inside the organization and this person wants her dead. As Myfanwy battles to save herself, she encounters a person with four bodies, a woman who can enter her dreams, children transformed into deadly fighters, and an unimaginably vast conspiracy. Suspenseful and hilarious, THE ROOK is an outrageously inventive debut for readers who like their espionage with a dollop of purple slime.

The Rook

The author of the bestselling novel Winter’s Bone brings us 12 “taut, desperate tales” (Los Angeles Times) about people on the fringes of society. Woodrell lends uncanny logic to harsh, even criminal behavior in this wrenching collection. Desperation—both material and psychological—motivates his characters. A husband cruelly avenges the killing of his wife’s pet; an injured rapist is cared for by a young girl, until she reaches her breaking point; a disturbed veteran of Iraq is murdered for his erratic behavior; an outsider’s house is set on fire by an angry neighbor. There is also the tenderness and loyalty of the vulnerable in these stories—between spouses, parents and children, siblings, and comrades in arms—which brings the troubled, sorely tested cast of characters to vivid, relatable life. And, as ever, “the music coming from Woodrell’s banjo cannot be confused with the sounds of any other writer” (Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

“THE SNOW CHILD weaves fairy tale, adventure, and love story around a profoundly emotional core.” —Boston Globe

Alaska, 1920: a brutal place to homestead, and especially tough for recent arrivals Jack and Mabel. Childless, they are drifting apart—he struggling to maintain the farm; she crumbling from loneliness and despair. In a moment of levity during the first snowfall, they build a child out of snow. The next morning the snow child is gone—but they glimpse a young girl running through the trees. This little girl, who calls herself Faina, seems to be a child of the woods. She hunts with a red fox at her side and somehow survives alone in the Alaskan wilderness. As Jack and Mabel come to understand this child who could have stepped from the pages of a fairy tale, they begin to love her as their own daughter. But in this beautiful, violent territory things are rarely as they appear, and what they eventually learn about Faina will transform them all. • T HE SNOW CHILD is a Barnes & Noble Discover selection, a Pennie’s Pick at Costco, an Indie Next List pick, and a New York Times bestseller. • The subsistence Alaskan lifestyle of Eowyn Ivey and her family informed THE SNOW CHILD.

Critics Circle Award finalist: “A thrilling story, heroically researched....Hard to imagine that a weighty book on Karl Marx could be a page—Washington Post turner, but this one is.”

Ian Rankin’s brilliant new hero, Malcolm Fox, who made his celebrated debut in The Complaints, is investigating a police department where the corruption is deep and deadly. The Complaints: that’s the Internal Affairs department that seeks out dirty and compromised cops, the ones who’ve made deals with the devil. And sometimes the Complaints must travel. A new inquiry sets Malcolm Fox and his colleagues adrift in unknown territory with befuddling protocol, and no clear guide to trust. When Fox uncovers a trail leading to the secrets behind a politician’s suicide, suddenly reputations are on the line. Rankin’s newest thriller shows our own lives reflected in this age of fear and paranoia.

• The Complaints, Ian Rankin’s first novel featuring Malcolm Fox, was published in Reagan Arthur Books hardcover (978-0-316-03974-1) in 3/11 and trade paperback in 11/11. • More than 600,000 copies of Ian Rankin’s novels have been sold to date in the U.S. • R ankin’s eagerly awaited new novel, Standing in Another Man’s Grave, is forthcoming in January 2013 (see page 45). • Beloved by a host of writers, including Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly, and P.

One of the year’s most enthusiastically praised books, LOVE AND CAPITAL reveals the rarely glimpsed and heartbreakingly human side of the man whose works would redefine the world after his death. Drawing upon previously unpublished material, Mary Gabriel tells the story of Karl and Jenny Marx’s marriage. Through it, we see Karl as never before: a devoted father and husband, a prankster who loved a party, a dreadful procrastinator, freeloader, and man of wild enthusiasms—one of which would almost destroy his marriage. Through years of desperate struggle, Jenny’s love for Karl would be tested again and again as she waited for him to finish his masterpiece, Capital. An epic narrative that stretches over decades to recount Karl and Jenny’s story against the backdrop of Europe’s nineteenth century, LOVE AND CAPITAL is a surprising and magisterial account of romance and revolution—and of one of the great love stories of all time.

“QUEEN OF AMERICA reads like a thriller, and

at home there....Like Light Years and A Sport and a Pastime, with their acutely observed domestic and sexual tension.” —New York Times Book Review

in its conclusion feels like a blessing....The magic made here is all Luis Alberto Urrea’s own.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer

By turns heartbreaking, uplifting, fiercely romantic, and riotously funny, QUEEN OF AMERICA tells the story of a young woman finding her place in a new world. Beginning where Luis Alberto Urrea’s bestselling The Hummingbird’s Daughter left off, QUEEN OF AMERICA finds young Teresita Urrea, beloved healer and “Saint of Cabora,” with her father in 1892 Arizona. Besieged by pilgrims in desperate need of her healing powers, and pursued by assassins, she has no choice but to flee the borderlands and embark on an extraordinary journey into the heart of turn-of-the-century America. There, she will meet a man who will force Teresita finally to ask herself the ultimate question: is a saint allowed to fall in love?

Alexander Popper can’t stop remembering. Four years old when his father tossed him into Lake Michigan, he was told sink or swim, kid. In his mind, he’s still bobbing in that frigid water. The rest of this novel’s vivid cast of characters also struggle to remain afloat: Popper’s mother, stymied by an unhappy marriage, seeks solace in the relentless energy of Chicago; his brother, Leo, shadow boss of the family, retreats into books; paternal grandparents, Seymour and Bernice, once high fliers, now mourn for long-lost days; his father, a lawyer and would-be politician obsessed with his own success, fails to see that the family is falling apart; and his college girlfriend, the fiercely independent Kat, wrestles with hard choices. Covering four generations of the Popper family, the novel illuminates the countless ways that love both makes us whole and completely unravels us. Alternately comic and sorrowful, LOVE AND SHAME AND LOVE explores the universals with originality and wisdom. • Peter Orner has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Rome Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Goldberg Prize for Jewish Fiction, the Lannan Literary Fellowship, and the Bard Fiction Prize. • Orner’s previous novel, The Second Coming of Mavala Shikongo (LB, 4/06), was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. • Orner’s work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Best American Short Stories, and has been awarded two Pushcart Prizes. • Eric Orner, a contributor to The Best American Comics (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011), created the book’s illustrations. • Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-316-12939-8, 11/11

Grace Winter, 22, is both a newlywed and a widow. She is also on trial for her life. In the summer of 1914, the elegant ocean liner carrying Grace and her husband Henry across the Atlantic suffers a mysterious explosion. Setting aside his own safety, Henry secures Grace a place in a lifeboat, which the survivors quickly realize has exceeded capacity. For any to live, some must die. As the castaways battle the elements and each other, Grace recollects the unorthodox way she and Henry met, and the new life of privilege she thought she’d found. Will she pay any price to keep it? THE LIFEBOAT is a page-turning novel of hard choices and survival, narrated by a woman as unforgettable and complex as the events she describes. • One of the most acclaimed literary debuts in years: Early readers have compared Rogan’s work to that of Patricia Highsmith, Shirley Jackson, Kate Chopin, and Margaret Atwood. • A bookseller favorite and a Barnes and Noble Discover selection. • THE LIFEBOAT raises provocative moral, social, and environmental issues, which will provoke lively book club discussions. • Charlotte Rogan was inspired by childhood vacations with a family of sailors, and a criminal law text about the survivors of a shipwreck. • Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-316-18590-5, 4/12

—Entertainment Weekly

When a notorious millionaire banker hangs himself, his death attracts no sympathy. But the legacy of a lifetime of selfishness is widespread, and the carnage most acute among those he ought to be protecting: his family. Meanwhile, in a wealthy suburb of Glasgow, a young woman is found savagely murdered. The community is stunned by what appears to be a vicious, random attack. When Detective Inspector Alex Morrow, heavily pregnant with twins, is called in to investigate, she soon discovers that a tangled web of lies lurks behind the murder. It’s a web that will spiral through Alex’s own home, the local community, and ultimately right back to a swinging rope, hundreds of miles away. THE END OF THE WASP SEASON is an accomplished, compelling, and multi-layered novel about family’s power of damage—and redemption.

For a century Harlem has been celebrated as the capital of black America, a thriving center of cultural achievement and political action. At a crucial moment in Harlem’s history, as gentrification encroaches, Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts untangles the myth and meaning of Harlem’s legacy. Examining the epic Harlem of official history and the personal Harlem that begins at her front door, RhodesPitts introduces us to a wide variety of characters, past and present. At the heart of their stories, and her own, is the hope carried over many generations, hope that Harlem would be the ground from which blacks fully entered America’s democracy. Rhodes-Pitts is a brilliant new voice who, like other significant chroniclers of place—Joan Didion on California, or Jamaica Kincaid on Antigua—captures the very essence of her subject.

who is committed, 100%, in every sentence, to giving you a good time. Bazell is, and he does.” —Time

Beat the Reaper left critics applauding, readers gasping, and Dr. Pietro Brnwa on the run from the mob. WILD THING finds him adrift: at sea, literally, as a cruise ship doctor under an assumed name. So when a reclusive billionaire offers him a job accompanying a sexy but selfdestructive paleontologist on the world’s worst field assignment, Pietro reluctantly agrees. And that means an army of murderers, mobsters, and international drug dealers—not to mention the occasional lake monster—are about to have a serious Pietro Brnwa problem. Facing new and old monsters alike, Pietro proves he’s one of the crime genre’s most exciting new heroes, in this darkly funny and lightning-paced sequel to Josh Bazell’s bestselling debut.

A runaway bestseller and everywhere hailed as a masterpiece of American travel writing upon its original publication in 1983, BLUE HIGHWAYS is an unforgettable journey along our nation’s backroads. William Least Heat-Moon set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of curiosity about “those little towns that get on the map—if they get on at all—only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill: Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why, Arizona; Whynot, Mississippi.” His adventures, his discoveries, and his recollections of the extraordinary people he encountered along the way amount to a revelation of the true American experience.

have it etched on your brain with a sharp –William Gibson periodontal tool.”

—Kirkus Reviews

High above the bustling streets of Dubai, in the world’s tallest and most luxurious skyscraper, reside the gods and goddesses of the modern world. Since they emerged 14 billion years ago from a bus blaring a tune remarkably similar to the Mister Softee jingle, they’ve wreaked mischief and havoc on mankind. Unable to control their jealousies, the gods have splintered into several factions, led by the immortal enemies XOXO, Shanice, La Felina, Fast-Cooking Ali, and Mogul Magoo. Ike Karton, an unemployed butcher from New Jersey, is their current obsession. Ritualistically recited by a cast of drug-addled bards, THE SUGAR FROSTED NUTSACK is Ike’s epic story. A raucous tale of gods and men confronting lust, ambition, death, and the eternal verities, it is a wildly fun, wickedly fast gambol through the unmapped corridors of the imagination.

Caitlin Flanagan’s essays have sparked national debate. Here she turns her attention to girls, and how the biological and cultural milestones shape their budding identities. Adolescence is a transformative period that has radically changed over the generations: from how a girl learns about her period to how she expects to be treated by men, boys, and even other women. In a world where privacy and personal freedom are encroached upon daily, Flanagan examines and redefines the ultimate challenge that we face in protecting, nurturing, and defending our girls.

• Flanagan’s essays for The Atlantic, Time, and The New Yorker have touched a nerve at the core of the American psyche. Her controversial and lively style has generated discussion across the media, and makes for perfect reading group fodder. • Flanagan is the recipient of a National Magazine Award and her work has been widely anthologized. • F lanagan has a high media profile that includes appearances on The Colbert Report and on numerous other television and radio shows. • Women love to read books about girls—about their own experiences, and those of their daughters. • A n excerpt of GIRL LAND appeared in the New York Times Magazine. • Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-316-06598-6, 1/12

A summer’s night, a deadly crash, and four lives changed forever—in the page-turning new bestseller from Elin Hilderbrand.

“Hilderbrand captivates....She has the romantic drama down.”

—People

A warm June evening, a local tradition: the students of Nantucket High have gathered for a bonfire on the beach. What begins as a graduation night celebration ends in tragedy after a horrible car crash leaves the driver, Penny Alistair, dead, and her twin brother in a coma. The other passengers, Penny’s boyfriend, Jake, and her friend Demeter, are physically unhurt—but the emotional damage is overwhelming. Questions linger about what happened before Penny took the wheel. As summer unfolds, startling truths are revealed about the survivors and their parents—secrets kept, promises broken, hearts betrayed. Elin Hilderbrand explores the power of community, family, and honesty, and proves that even from the ashes of sorrow new love can take flight. • Since Barefoot (LB, 7/07), every one of Elin Hilderbrand’s novels has been a New York Times bestseller. More than 1.5 million copies of her books are now in print in the U.S. • Hilderbrand’s previous novel, Silver Girl, debuted at #6 on the New York Times bestseller list; it spent five weeks on the hardcover list and four weeks on the paperback list and has sold 350,000 copies to date. • SUMMERLAND will be Hilderbrand’s richest novel yet for reading groups. It is told from the perspective of both the adults and the teenagers in the story, and takes place not only in Hilderbrand’s usual setting of Nantucket but also on the richly described west coast of Australia. • Hilderbrand is dedicated to connecting with her many fans, via social media or otherwise, and she provides great extra content and bonus materials for readers. • Hardcover ISBN: 978-0-316-09983-7, 6/12

“

us of an ancient music to which so many of us are deaf. Bernie Krause is, above all, an artist.” —Jane Goodall

Bernie Krause is one of the world’s experts in natural sound, and here we listen through Krause’s ears as he collects the sounds of purring jaguars, snapping shrimp, and cracking glaciers—the roar of the wild. It is an intensely personal narrative of life as it hits the ears, and of the planet’s deeply connected natural sounds and music. Krause also shows that just as streetlights drown out the stars, human noise is vanquishing the sounds of nature—and the very soundscapes that help us understand how wild sound and music connect. This travelogue of sound, based on a lifetime of study, will leave you hearing—and seeing—nature as never before.

Edith Hamilton’s MYTHOLOGY succeeds like no other book in bringing to life for the modern reader the Greek, Roman, and Norse myths that are the keystone of Western culture—the stories of gods and heroes that have inspired human creativity from antiquity to the present. We meet the Greek gods on Olympus and Norse gods in Valhalla. We follow the drama of the Trojan War and the wanderings of Odysseus. We hear the tales of Jason and the Golden Fleece, Cupid and Psyche, and mighty King Midas. We discover the origins of the names of the constellations. And we recognize reference points for countless works of art, literature, and cultural inquiry— from Freud’s Oedipus complex to Wagner’s Ring Cycle of operas to Eugene O’Neill’s Mourning Becomes Electra. Praised throughout the world for its authority and lucidity, MYTHOLOGY is Edith Hamilton’s masterpiece—the standard by which all other books on mythology are measured.
