THAT DARKNESS
A GARDINER AND RENNER THRILLER
Lisa Black
In this tour de force of psychological suspense, New York Times bestselling author Lisa
Black draws from her experience as a forensic investigator to create two of the most
fascinating characters in crime fiction: a killer with a unique sense of justice and a woman
in a lifelong relationship with death
s a forensic investigator for the Cleveland Police Department, Maggie Gardiner has seen her share of Jane Does. The latest is an
unidentified female in her early teens, discovered in a local cemetery. More shocking than the girls injuriesfor Maggie at leastis
the fact that no one has reported her missing. She and the detectives assigned to the case (including her cop ex-husband) are determined
to follow every lead, run down every scrap of evidence. But the monster they seek is watching every move, closer to them than they could
possibly imagine.
Jack Renner is a killer. He doesnt murder because he enjoys it, or because he believes himself omnipotent, or for any reason other than to
make the world a safer place. When he follows the trail of this Jane Doe to a locked room in a small apartment where eighteen teenaged girls
are anything but safe, he knows something must be done. But his pursuit of their captor takes an unexpected turn.
Maggie Gardiner finds another body waiting for her in the autopsy roomand a host of questions that will challenge everything she believes
about justice, morality, and the true nature of evil

TUMBLEDOWN MANOR
Helen Brown
From Helen Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Cleo and
Cats & Daughters, comes a witty, uplifting novel about a woman who
discovers that its never too late to build the homeand the life
youve always longed for
he windows rattle. The roof leaks. Every surface cries out to be stripped, painted, or
polished. But for writer Lisa Trumperton, the dilapidated manor house that once
belonged to her great-grandfather is far more than the sum of its battered parts. Its the
chance for a new start on her own terms. The fact that its in the Melbourne countryside of
her Australian homeland, far from the deceitful ex-husband she just left behind in New
Yorkwell, thats a bonus.
Lisa sets to work refurbishing Trumperton Manor, assisted by her son, his friends, and
a Gray Army of retired handymen. But its not just her ancestral home thats being
transformed. As she trades her chic Manhattan clothes for jeans and work boots, Lisa is
changing and fortifying her relationships with her family and her sense of self. There are
floods, fires, and catastrophes, but there are new allies too, including a one-eyed cat, a
stubborn cockatoo, and a rugged landscaper with an irresistible grin. Piece by piece, the
house is pushing Lisa beyond her old limits, daring her to embrace something bigger,
braver, and more rewarding than she ever dreamed.

GODPRETTY IN
THE TOBACCO FIELD
Kim Michele Richardson
Atmospheric and searingly honest, GodPretty in the Tobacco Field is Coal Miners
Daughter meets Winters Bone in a gripping tale of tender love and loss. It examines the
crushing oppression of Appalachian women through the story of a young girl living in
rural Kentucky in the 60s, as she is subjected to grueling labor by her God-fearing uncle,
and strives to find a ray of hope in her poverty-stricken town through her own tobacco
patch, a forbidden first love, and her home-made paper fortunetellers.
ameless, Kentucky, in 1969 is a hardscrabble community where jobs are few and poverty is a simple factjust like the hot Appalachian
breeze or the pests that can wipe out a tobacco field in days. RubyLyn Bishop is luckier than some. Her God-fearing uncle, Gunnar, has a
short fuse and high expectations, but hes given her a good home ever since she was orphaned at the age of five. Yet now, a month shy of her
sixteenth birthday, RubyLyn itches for more.
Maybe its something to do with the paper fortunetellers RubyLyn has been making for townsfolk, each covered with beautifully wrought,
prophetic drawings. Or perhaps its because of Rainey Ford, an African-American neighbor who works alongside her in the tobacco
field, and with whom she has a kinship, despite her uncles worrisome shadow and the towns disapproval. RubyLyns predictions are just
wishful thinking, not magic at all, but through them shes imagining life as it could be, away from the prejudice and hardship that ripple
through Nameless

God forgive me.

PRAISE FOR CONSTANT FEAR
This nail-biting tale is sure to get hearts pumping and bound to be a winner with fans of Greg Iles and Iris Johansen. The author is the son of
deceased best-selling medical thriller author Michael Palmer, but he doesnt need to ride on his fathers coattails. His suspenseful stories, full
of twists and turns, are sure to win him a following of his own.Library Journal Starred Review
Palmer takes a straightforward kidnapping story and turns it into a compelling tale filled with not-so-typical heroes. Setting the action in a
high school is risky, but Palmer pulls it off. Fans of Harlan Coben or Linwood Barclay will especially enjoy this one.Booklist
Palmer examines the steps parents will take to ensure the security of their kids in his latest thriller. He gives a familiar story a fresh spin with
compelling characters and a protagonist who usually would be portrayed as the villain. Readers will care about everyone, and grimace and
sweat with every tense scene. Palmers thrillers involving family dynamics are terrific, and this one is no exception.
Extraordinary character development and more than a few bombshell plot twists will keep readers turning the pages.Publishers Weekly

CHIN
THE LIFE AND CRIMES OF MAFIA BOSS VINCENT GIGANTE
Larry McShane
The first and definite biography of one of the Mafias greatestand deadliestbosses,
Vincent Chin Gigante, the man who walked around Greenwich Village in his bathrobe so
the Feds would think he was insane! But was he really craxy? Or crazy like a fox?
VINCENT CHIN GIGANTE

He started out as a professional boxeruntil he found his true calling as a ruthless contract killer. His doting mothers pet name for the
boy evolved into his famous alias, Chin, a nickname that struck fear throughout organized crime as he routinely ordered the murders of
mobsters who violated the Mafia codeincluding a contract put out on Gambino family boss John Gotti.
Vincent Gingante was hand-picked by Vito Genovese to run the Genovese Family when Don Vito was sent to prison. Chin raked in more than
$100 million for the Genevese family, all while evading federal investigators. At the height of his power, he controlled an underworld empire
of close to three hundred made men, extending from New Yorks Little Italy to the docks of Miami to the streets of Philadelphiamaking
the Genovese Family the most powerful in the U.S.
And yet Vincent The Chin Gigante was, to all outside appearances, certifiably crazy.
A serial psychiatric hospital outpatient, he wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in a ratty bathrobe and slippers, sometimes adding a
floppy cap to complete the ensemble. He urinated in public, played pinochle in storefronts, and hid a second family from his wife. On
twenty-two occasions, he admitted himself to a mental hospitalevading criminal prosecution while insuring his continued reign as The
Oddfather. It took nearly thirty years of endless psychiatric evaluations by a parade of puzzled doctors before federal authorities could
bring him down.

BETTER GET TO LIVIN

Sally Kilpatrick
Smart, witty, and delightfully offbeat, this new novel from the
author of The Happy Hour Choir and Bittersweet Creek is an
uplifting story about following your heart, even when it leads
to the last place youd expect
resley Cline has put aside dreams of Hollywood stardom and come back to Ellery,
Tennessee, to work in a beauty shop. In truth, the dreams in question were more her
mothers than her own. Presley may have the face and body of a movie icon, but she
lacks the stomach for it. Yet a loving relationship and normal home life seem almost as
unattainable as an Oscar. Being able to see and speak to dead people certainly isnt helping.
Presleys first job, beautifying clients at the Anderson Funeral Home, is quite a change
from working on a movie set. The place is home to dozens of ghosts all hoping that Presley
can help them move onand also one very-much-alive owner, Declan Anderson. Like
Presley, Declan is caught between following family expectations and his own aspirations.
But with a little meddling from loved ones and localsboth living and deadPresley is
starting to see that life is too short not to be who you want to be, and the most rewarding
journeys involve some unexpected detours

JAZZ MOON
Joe Okonkwo
In a lyrical, captivating debut set against the backdrop of the Harlem

Renaissance and glittering Jazz Age Paris, Joe Okonkwo creates an
evocative story of emotional and artistic awakening.
n a sweltering summer night in 1925, beauties in beaded dresses mingle with hepcats
in dapper suits on the streets of Harlem. The air is thick with reefer smoke, and jazz
pours out of speakeasy doorways. Ben Charles and his devoted wife, Angeline, are among the
locals crammed into a basement club to hear jazz and drink bootleg liquor. For aspiring
poet Ben, the swirling, heady rhythms are a revelation. So is Baby Back Johnston, an ambitious
trumpet player who flashes a devilish grin and blasts jazz dynamite from his horn. Ben finds
himself drawn to the trumpeterand to Paris where Baby Back says everything is happening.
In Paris, jazz and champagne flow eternally, and blacks are welcomed as exotic celebrities,
especially those from Harlem. Its an easy life that quickly leaves Bed adrift and alone,
craving solace through anonymous dalliances in the citys decadent underground scene.
From chic Parisian cafs to seedy opium dens, his odyssey will bring new love, trials, and
heartache, even as echoes from the past urge him to decide where true fulfillment and
inspiration lie.
KEY SELLING POINTS:
Jazz Moon will appeal to fans of historical fiction, especially those with an
interest in jazz and the Harlem Renaissance.
The Harlem Renaissance has not been dealt with much in contemporary fiction.
The book portrays the seamy side of Paris colorblind racial attitude.
The book took the author a decade to complete.
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR JAZZ MOON
Jazz Moon mashes up essences of Hurston and Hughes and Fitzgerald into a heady mix tape
of a romance: driving and rhythmic as an Armstrong Hot Five record, sensuous as the small
of a Cotton Club chorus girls back. I enjoyed it immensely. Frankly, I wish Id written it.

Sometimes, a story with an average person solving a mystery can result in a character
becoming annoying with incessant questions and amateur sleuthing that leads nowhere. But
Rosetts latest Ellie Avery mystery is less about solving a mystery and more about finding out
the truth. The story becomes more about a woman trying to protect her family, and thats a
message most of us can relate to.

THE BEAUTY OF THE END

Debbie Howells
From the acclaimed author of The Bones of You comes a haunting and heartbreaking new
psychological thriller about a man thrust into the middle of a murder investigation, forced to
confront the secrets of his ex-lovers past.
I was fourteen when I fell in love with a goddess
So begins the testimony of Noah Calaway, an ex-lawyer with a sideline in armchair criminal psychology. Now living an aimless life in an
inherited cottage in the English countryside, Noah is haunted by the memory of the beguiling young woman who left him at the altar sixteen
years earlier. Then one day he receives a troubling phone call. April, the woman he once loved, lies in a coma, the victim of an apparent
overdoseand the lead suspect in the brutal murder of her stepfather. Deep in his bones, Noah believes that April is innocent. Then again,
he also believed they would spend the rest of their lives together.
While Noah searches for evidence that will clear Aprils name, a teenager named Ella begins to sift through the secrets of her own painful
family history. The same age as April was when Noah first met her, Ella harbors a revelation that could be the key to solving the murder. As
the two stories converge, there are shocking consequences when at last, the truth emerges.
Or so everyone believes
Set in a borderland where the past casts its shadow on the present, with a time-shifting narrative that will mesmerize and surprise, The
Beauty of the End is both a masterpiece of suspense and a powerful rumination on lost love.

THE LAST ROAD HOME

Danny Johnson
Pushcart Prize nominee Danny Johnson makes his fiction debut with a Southern novel that,
set in North Carolina during the 50s and 60s, examines the life of a young farm boy who falls
in love with an African American girl as they come of age under the shadow of the KKK and
the Vietnam War.
t eight years old, Raeford Junebug Hurley has known more than his share of hard lessons. After the sudden death of his parents, he
goes to live with his grandparents on a farm surrounded by tobacco fields and lonesome woods. There he meets Fancy Stroud and her
twin brother, Lightning, the children of black sharecroppers on a neighboring farm. As years pass, the friendship between Junebug and
bright, compassionate Fancy takes on a deeper intensity. Junebug, aware of all the ways in which he and Fancy are more alike than different,
habitually bucks against the casual bigotry that surrounds themdangerous in a community ruled by the Klan.
On the brink of adulthood, Junebug is drawn into a moneymaking scheme that goes awryand leaves him with a dark secret he must keep
from those he loves. And as Fancy, tired of saying yesum and living scared, tries to find her place in the world, Junebug embarks on a journey that will take him through loss and war toward a hard-won understanding.
At once tender and unflinching, The Last Road Home delves deep into the gritty, violent realities of the Souths turbulent past, yet evokes the
universal hunger for belonging.

that a boy shouldnt see or hear.
He knew everybody in the neighborhood. And they knew himand his family. And does he
have some wild stories to tell
From the old-school Mafia dons and infamous five families who called all the shots, to the

pinched by Crazy Joe Gallo until tears came down his face. Dropping out of school and
hanging gangster-style with the boys on President Street. Watching the Gallos wage an all-out
