walter potter’s curious
world of taxidermy
Dr. Pat Morris with Joanna Ebenstein
Welcome to Victorian taxidermist Walter Potter’s
fantasy world of rabbit schoolchildren, cigar-smoking
squirrels, and exemplary feline etiquette in
Walter Potter’s Curious World of Taxidermy. . . .
Walter Potter (1835–1918), a British country taxidermist of no great expertise,
built anthropomorphic taxidermy tableaux that became famous icons of Victorian
whimsy, including his masterpiece Walter Potter’s Curious World of Taxidermy. His
tiny museum in Bramber, Sussex, was crammed full of multi-legged kittens, twoheaded lambs, and a bewildering assortment of curios. Potter’s inspired and beguiling
tableaux found many fans in the contemporary art world: it was reported that a £1M
bid by Damien Hirst to keep the collection intact was refused when the museum finally
closed. Here, perhaps for the last time, many important pieces from the collection are
showcased and celebrated with new photographs of Potter’s best-loved works. Darkly
witty and affecting, Walter Potter’s Curious World of Taxidermy makes a charming,
whimsical (and yes, slightly morbid) gift.
✦A famous collection, a fascinating gift—the art world mourns the loss of the intact
Walter Potter collection. The author’s personal collection, gathered in book form
for the first time in the U.S., will get huge media attention and prove irresistible to
collectors of things darkly charming and unusual.
✦Fans of taxidermy may surprise you. Authors such as David Sedaris, Jenny Lawson
(aka, “The Bloggess”), and Audrey Niffenegger have written extensively about
their taxidermy obsessions.

Two Parties and a Funeral—Plus, Plenty of
Valet Parking!—in America’s Gilded Capital
Mark Leibovich
The #1 national bestseller, Mark Leibovich’s
This Town, now in paperback—with a
new Introduction by the author.
Hailed as “vastly entertaining and deeply troubling” (The New York Times Book Review),
“as insidery as Game Change” (The Washington Post), and a “hysterically funny portrait
of the capital’s vanities and ambitions” (The New Yorker), This Town captured America’s
attention as the political book of 2013. With a new Introduction by author Mark
Leibovich, the book that is changing the national conversation about Washington is
available in a stunning new edition.
Washington, D.C., might be loathed from every corner of the nation, yet these
are fun and busy days at this nexus of big politics, big money, big media, and big
vanity. There are no Democrats and Republicans anymore in the nation’s capital, just
millionaires. In This Town, Mark Leibovich, chief national correspondent for The New
York Times Magazine, presents a blistering, stunning—and often hysterically funny—
examination of our ruling class’s incestuous “media industrial complex.” Through his
eyes, we discover how the funeral for a beloved newsman becomes the social event of
the year. How political reporters are fetishized for their ability to get their names into
the predawn e-mail sent out by the city’s most powerful and puzzled-over journalist.
How a disgraced Hill aide can overcome ignominy and maybe emerge with a more
potent “brand” than many elected members of Congress. And how an administration
bent on “changing Washington” can be sucked into the ways of This Town with the
same ease with which Tea Party insurgents can, once elected, settle into it like a
warm bath.
Outrageous, fascinating, and very necessary, This Town is a must-read, whether
you’re inside the Beltway—or just trying to get there.
✦New reporting will be included in the trade paperback edition’s Introduction.
✦Publication date to coincide with the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in early
May 2014.

WILL NOT ATTEND
Life Stories
Adam Resnick
An unabashedly hilarious memoir-in-essays
from Adam Resnick, former writer for
Late Night with David Letterman.
Adam Resnick doesn’t like to do things. In fact, he’s spent his entire life desperately
trying to avoid interaction with people. He readily admits to being “sick in the head”
and “euphorically antisocial.” In this brilliant collection of stories, we observe Resnick’s
hysterical indifference to family, friends, strangers, and the modern world at large. His
mind shaped from such touchstone incidents as a traumatic Easter egg hunt at the
age of six (that solidified his hatred of parties) and a doomed trip to Disney World as
an adult (that solidified his hatred for his sister-in-law), he refuses to be burdened by
life’s basic obligations—the kind the rest of us concede to without protest. Weddings,
gatherings, dinner invitations, or any event involving his wife’s family—he simply Will
Not Attend. “I don’t do well with people,” he proclaims frankly. “I live my life by a very
simple rule: I refuse to do anything I don’t want to do.” Cut from a similar, if somewhat
stranger, cloth as Albert Brooks or Larry David, Adam Resnick is the crazy miserable
bastard you can’t help but laugh at and root for. Humor and memoir fans everywhere
will enjoy this hysterical debut collection.
✦For fans of Larry David, Mike Birbiglia, David Sedaris, and Augusten Burroughs.
Readers who love these bestselling writers will find this collection of social
awkwardness and avoidance laugh-out-loud funny.
✦A very funny writer beloved by other Very Funny People. With Resnick’s high-
profile career in creating, writing, and producing for film and TV, this book will
have big appeal for late-night television, public radio, popular comedy podcasts,
and other outlets.

EXCERPT | What happened next, I believe to this day, was a plot
to prevent me from leaving the Magic Kingdom. Word had
gotten out; I was being a “difficult guest”—the Disney World
equivalent of what Scientologists call a “suppressive person.” As
the temperature climbed to what must have been 110, our path
to freedom was suddenly blocked. We had somehow wandered
into the Main Street area as a parade had begun and were quickly
consumed by a throng of frenzied zealots who cheered wildly
at a procession of Disney characters led by Tinker Bell. Ms. Bell,
by the way, was safely ensconced in a large glittery basket, no
doubt meant to keep her safe from the grabby hands of daddies
and pop-pops. Suddenly, I felt a surge of electricity go through
the crowd. Mickey had appeared on the parade route. He
stood in an open car, solemnly nodding his giant head as he
acknowledged his fanatical followers with an occasional whitegloved wave. I will abstain from making a reference to Leni
Riefenstahl, but I will say I half expected to hear the sound of
windows being shattered at the Grand Floridian.
ADAM RESNICK is an Emmy-winning
writer who began his career at Late Night
with David Letterman. He went on to cocreate Fox’s Get a Life starring Chris Elliott,
and has written several screenplays,
including the cult classics Cabin Boy and
Death to Smoochy. In addition, Resnick
has written for Saturday Night Live, was
a co-executive producer and writer for
HBO’s The Larry Sanders Show, and created
the HBO series The High Life, which was
produced by David Letterman’s company,
Worldwide Pants. He lives with his very
patient wife and daughter in New
York City.

A Novel
Susan Scarf Merrell
A fictional young couple spends a year
at Bennington in 1964 with novelist
Shirley Jackson and her husband in this
captivating psychological thriller.
Two imposing literary figures are at the center of Susan Scarf Merrell’s suspenseful
new novel, Shirley. The celebrated Shirley Jackson, best known for her short story
“The Lottery,” and her husband, Stanley Edgar Hyman, a literary critic and professor
at Bennington College, made a fascinating, commanding couple in their day.
Brilliant, flamboyant, and proudly unconventional, they cast an almost magnetic
spell of intellectual grandeur.
A young couple, Fred and Rose Nemser, a graduate student and his pregnant
wife, move into Shirley and Stanley’s home on the Bennington campus in the
summer of 1964. With her husband teaching all day, Rose forms an unlikely,
turbulent friendship with the troubled and unpredictable Shirley. Intrigued by
the Hymans’ tempestuous marriage and inexplicably drawn to the darkly witty
author, Rose nonetheless senses something amiss—something to do with nightly
unanswered phone calls and inscrutable accounts of a long-missing female student.
For fans of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? and Donna Tartt’s The Secret History,
Shirley is a compelling, elegant thriller written in homage to Jackson’s own classic
horror stories.
✦Shirley Jackson Day is June 26—”The Lottery” was first published in The New
Yorker on June 26, 1948, and we are coordinating our publicity and marketing
efforts with that anniversary.
✦A captivating novel inspired by real-life people and places—similar to bestsellers
like Marisa Silver’s Mary Coin or Colum McCann’s TransAtlantic, the real-life Shirley
Jackson plays a pivotal and fascinating lead character in Merrell’s new novel.

| I’ll not forget my first view of Shirley Jackson.
Shirley, like her house, was not the surprise you expected her
to be. A mountain of a woman, standing over us so that she
appeared even more imposing. That afternoon, she wore a beige
sack of a housedress imprinted with an endless green geometric
pattern. Chinese cloth slippers—I would later learn this was her
favored footwear. Lank reddish hair held back by a headband.
Her spectacle rims a pale brown. The cigarette between her right
forefinger and middle finger was burnt halfway, smoke dancing
the length of her fleshy forearm.
She spoke over my head, to Stanley.
“That woman called. You promised.”
Stanley handed the suitcase to Fred. “I’ll talk to her again.”
“You promised, Stanley. And we’re out of scotch.”
“I’ll walk down.”
“And you. Nobody said you were pregnant.”
I blushed. We hadn’t told anyone.
“I’m a witch,” she said calmly. “Now come inside and let’s get
you settled. Rose, is it?”

YOURS FOR ETERNITY
A Love Story on Death Row
Damien Echols and Lorri Davis
Yours for Eternity is an intimate look at the
extraordinary love story between Damien Echols
and Lorri Davis, who met and married while Echols—
author of the New York Times bestseller Life After
Death—served nearly eighteen years on death row.
From one of the greatest legal injustices of our time sprang one of the most unlikely—
and unforgettable—love stories. For anyone who followed the case of the “West
Memphis Three,” or read Damien Echols’s memoir, Life After Death, there is one
lingering question: Who was the woman—courageous, affected, or just plain crazy
enough—to fall in love and marry him while he was on death row? Lorri Davis
was a landscape architect living in New York City when she saw Paradise Lost, a
documentary about the three young men imprisoned in Arkansas for an unspeakable
crime they didn’t commit. When her original letter arrived in Echols’s cell in 1996,
hers were some of the first kind words of support he had heard.
Over the course of a remarkable sixteen-year correspondence, Echols and Davis
grew to know each other, fall in love, and marry—all without ever being able to touch
each other freely or be alone together. In Yours for Eternity, they describe also how
they overcame the enormous challenges and heartbreaks throughout the years—
personal setbacks, legal complications, and much more. Astoundingly, thousands
of their personal letters have survived, to create a singular portrait of their marriage
told in alternating voices by Echols and Davis both. Yours for Eternity reveals a
relationship unfolding in the most exceptional of circumstances. Powerful, unique,
and incredibly intimate, it is a modern-day love story for the ages.
✦Big sales and a surprise national hit—Life After Death was a New York Times, Los
Angeles Times, and USA Today bestseller, with more than 70,000 copies sold to date
(all formats).
✦Love under extraordinary circumstances—Yours for Eternity includes personal
letters and contemporary, alternating accounts between Lorri and Damien that
are inspiring and moving, with many important backstories never before revealed.
Media and fans alike will revel in any new aspect of their story.

“[Echols] has written a haunting book, and
the story it tells is hardly over. He is living out
a sequel that is no less strange and magickal
than what he has already been through.”
—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
“In this searing, finely wrought memoir,
Echols recalls his poverty-stricken childhood,
the trial of the West Memphis 3, and the harsh
realities of life on death row. . . . [A] heart-wrenching
and simple commentary on American prison life.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“[A] tale of romance, resilience,

—O, The Oprah Magazine
DAMIEN ECHOLS and LORRI DAVIS met
in 1996, and were married in a Buddhist
ceremony at Tucker Maximum Security
Unit in Tucker, Arkansas, in 1999. Echols
spent nearly eighteen years on death row
until his release in 2011. He is the author
of the New York Times–bestselling memoir
Life After Death (2012). For more than a
decade, Davis spearheaded a full-time
effort toward her husband’s release from
prison, which encompassed all aspects of
the legal case and forensic investigation
and, with Echols, served as producer of the
documentary West of Memphis. Echols and
Davis live in Massachusetts.

the LAST MAGAZINE
A Novel
Michael Hastings
A posthumous debut novel, wry, wise, and
outrageous, from award-winning journalist
Michael Hastings, based on his experiences as a
weekly magazine journalist in the mid-2000s.
The year is 2002. Weekly news magazines dominate the political agenda in New York
and Washington. A young journalist named Michael M. Hastings is a twenty-twoyear-old intern at The Magazine, wet behind the ears, the only one in the office who’s
actually read his coworker’s books. He will stop at nothing to turn his internship into
a full-time position, and has figured out just whom to impress: Nishant Patel, the
international editor, and Sanders Berman, managing editor, both vying for the job
of editor in chief. While Berman and Nishant try to one-up each other pontificating
on cable news, A. E. Peoria—the one reporter seemingly doing any work—is having
a career crisis. He’s just returned from Chad, where instead of reporting on the
genocide he was told by his editors to focus on mobile phone outsourcing, as it’s
more relevant. And then, suddenly, the U.S. invades Iraq—and all hell breaks loose.
As intern Hastings loses his naïveté about the journalism game, he must choose
where his loyalties lie—with the men at The Magazine who can advance his career or
with his friend in the field who is reporting the truth.
The Last Magazine is the debut novel from Michael Hastings, discovered in his
files after his death in June 2013. Based on Hastings’s own experiences, it is funny,
sharp, and fast-paced—a great book about the news game’s final days in the tradition
of Evelyn Waugh’s Scoop, Hunter S. Thompson’s The Rum Diary, and Tom Rachman’s
The Imperfectionists.
✦Bestselling author, growing fan base—The Operators was a New York Times
bestseller upon publication with continued steady sales since its initial release
(more than 30,000 copies sold, all formats).
✦Through fiction, Hastings is fearless, funny, and spot-on. Hastings rightly earns the
kudos of reviewers who have called his writing good “not just for the rock-and-roll
details, but for its piercing chronicles of a world gone mad” (The Daily Beast). His
first novel is all of that and more.

sorrow bound
A Detective Sergeant McAvoy Novel
David Mark
Detective Sergeant Aector McAvoy returns
for another darkly enthralling case in Sorrow
Bound, the third installment of David Mark’s
internationally acclaimed and bestselling series.
It’s a sweltering summer in Hull, Yorkshire—gray storm clouds gather ominously
over this small English town, yet refuse to break. DS Aector McAvoy and the rest of
the Serious and Organized Crime Unit are being pushed to the brink by the local
drug trade as a sadistic new boss takes over and violent crime escalates. But it’s not
long before McAvoy and Detective Superintendent Trish Pharoah are distracted
by something deadlier—a serial murderer on the loose. McAvoy suspects these are
copycat murders made in revenge for mishandled crimes committed years ago. But
when one of McAvoy’s fellow police officers gets blackmailed by the local drug kingpin,
McAvoy’s life—and that of his wife, Roisin, and two young children—is suddenly in
fearful jeopardy. Sorrow Bound easily stands alone even as it brings us deeper into the
dark, suspenseful world of Aector McAvoy—the stoic, endearing hero at the center of
this endlessly entertaining series.
✦For fans of Ian Rankin, Jo Nesbø, and Tana French—The Detective McAvoy series
has received great international acclaim and was a “Richard & Judy” book club
pick, propelling sales to over 150,000 in the UK alone. The series is poised to grow
in the U.S. as well.
“Sophisticated plotting, in-depth characters, and sharp
dialogue elevate British author Mark’s gritty second police
procedural featuring Yorkshire Det. Sgt. Aector McAvoy. Mark
expertly brings together two seemingly unrelated investigations
while weaving in McAvoy’s devotion to his young family and
sensitivity to the Roma background of his wife, Roison, whose
extended family becomes involved in his inquiries. Fans of
John Harvey and Peter James will find much to like.”

A Memoir
Lee Grant
A memoir by Academy Award–winning actress
Lee Grant, detailing her starring roles in Valley of the
Dolls and Shampoo, her twelve years on the Hollywood
blacklist, and a singularly unpredictable life.
Born Lyova Haskell Rosenthal in New York City in 1925, actress Lee Grant spent her
youth accumulating more experiences than most people have in a lifetime: from
student at the famed Neighborhood Playhouse to member of the legendary Actors
Studio; from celebrated Broadway star to Vogue “It Girl.” At age twenty-six, she was
nominated for an Academy Award for Detective Story, and soon found herself married
and a mother for the first time, her career on the rise.
And then she lost it all. Her name landed on the Hollywood blacklist, her offers
for film and television roles ground to a halt, and her marriage fell apart.
Finding reserves of strength she didn’t know she had, Grant picked herself up
and fought to reclaim her career. She took action against anticommunist witch hunts
in the arts. She threw herself into work, accepting every theater or teaching job
that came her way. She met a man ten years her junior and began a wild, liberating
fling that she never expected would last a lifetime. And after twelve years of fighting
the blacklist, she was finally exonerated. With courage and style, Grant rebuilt her
life, this time on her own terms: first stop, a starring role on Peyton Place, and then
leads in Valley of the Dolls and Shampoo. Set amid the New York theater scene of the
fifties and the star-studded parties of Malibu in the seventies, Grant evokes a world
of political passion and movie-star glamour. She tells endlessly delightful tales of
costars and friends such as Warren Beatty, Julie Christie, Grace Kelly, and Sidney
Poitier, and writes with the verve and candor befitting such a seductive and
beloved star.
✦A multitalented artist with an extraordinary life—Lee Grant is a living legend
whose incredible life story will appeal to fans of recent bestselling actor-authors
such as Jane Fonda, Faye Dunaway, Diane Keaton, and Debbie Reynolds.
✦Pulls no punches—Grant’s voice on the page is revealing, funny, and forthright.
There are many never-before-told stories about Hollywood and the blacklist that
will have huge appeal to media and fans alike.

| I was eating it up, heating up in his sun, loving the
attention, being “the girl of the moment” in front of all my
cool friends, when I saw Warren’s eyes attach themselves to
something in the distance. I turned around and saw in the next
room, the dining room, Dolly Parton, quietly sitting at the table,
alone, scribbling on a pad. In an instant, I could feel myself dropped.
This new yummy dish was making Warren’s mouth water. He
actually licked his lips as he left me on the couch and sat down next
to her at the table.
I followed him like a jilted wife, jealous, clumsy. I needn’t have
bothered. Dolly was immune. Warren tried the whole deck of
cards, Dolly concentrated on her numbers, adding, subtracting,
and smiling adorably at his attempts. Watching her, I couldn’t
blame him for trying. It was 1975. Dolly was all cream and roses,
just astonishing, and nice. I rose from the table; Warren was
relieved. I said my good-byes and drove back to the Red House,
humming to myself.

skin of the wolf
A Novel
Sam Cabot
Award-winning writer S. J. Rozan and associate
professor Carlos Dews are together known as Sam
Cabot. In their exhilarating new novel, a vicious
murder in Sotheby’s begins a series of inexplicable
events surrounding an Iroquois ritual mask—and a
secret that could unleash the most terrifying chaos
and destruction the world has ever seen.
Father Thomas Kelly, art historian Livia Pietro, and scholar Spencer George shared
shocking, life-changing events in Blood of the Lamb; in that thriller, Father Kelly
learned of the existence of the Noantri—a community of vampires—and that Livia
and Spencer were among them. Now, a year later, all three are together again in New
York City, where Livia is attending a conference on Native American art. But when
Spencer is attacked in Central Park by a wolf, the trio is thrown deep into a world
where money, Native American lore, and the doctrines of the Catholic Church collide,
revealing an alarming secret: the wolf is a shapeshifter. He is hunting for a sacred
Iroquois mask with power that, badly wielded, could destroy millions of lives. As they
embark on the search for the mask, they narrowly escape becoming the shapeshifter’s
prey. Will they be able to prevent catastrophe from rising with the next full moon?
In Skin of the Wolf, Sam Cabot weaves riveting suspense into a novel that blends
historical fact with his signature all-encompassing alternate reality. It is a heartstopping novel in which the Noantri discover they aren’t the only humans set apart by
their natures: there are Others.
✦Blood of the Lamb introduced this case of engaging characters, and their story
continues as they discover new worlds of possibilities and ancient secrets.
✦Dews and Rozan are an excellent writing team, and they have once again created
a novel with a vivid sense of place, a depth of historical detail, and an unstoppable
pace that is impossible to put down.
✦With an ideal blend of mystery, art history, conspiracy, vampires, shapeshifters,
and intrigue in the Catholic Church, Skin of the Wolf has all the elements of the
perfect summer blockbuster.

No HERO
Lessons from a Life Lived at War
Mark Owen with Kevin Maurer
The second book by former Navy SEAL Mark Owen,
following his multimillion‑copy classic No Easy Day,
in which he tells the stories from his career that
were most personal to him and that made him
the operator and the person he is today
While Mark Owen’s instant New York Times bestseller No Easy Day focused on the
high-profile targets and headline-grabbing chapters of the author’s career, No Hero
will be an account of the most personally meaningful missions from Owen’s thirteen
years as a SEAL, including the moments in which he learned the most about himself
and his teammates, in both success and failure.
Mark Owen describes his intentions for his second book best: “I want No Hero
to offer something most books on war don’t: the intimate side of it, the personal
struggles and hardships and what I learned from them. The stories in No Hero will
be a testament to my teammates and to all the other active and former SEALs who
have dedicated their lives to freedom. In our community, we are constantly taught to
mentor the younger generation and to pass the lessons and values we’ve learned on to
others so that they can do the same to the guys coming up after them. This is what I
plan to do for the reader of No Hero.”
Every bit as action-packed as No Easy Day, and featuring stories from the training
ground to the battlefield, No Hero offers readers an unparalleled close-up view of the
experiences and values that make Mark Owen and the men he served with capable of
executing the missions we read about in the headlines.
P r a i s e f o r NO E a s y D ay
“This harrowing, minute-by-minute account
by one of the highly trained members of Navy SEAL
Team Six is narrative nonfiction at its most gripping.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“The Bin Laden story is the marquee event
in No Easy Day, of course. But the formative steps
in the author’s own story are just as gripping.”

MARK OWEN is a former member of the

he has participated in hundreds of

leader on Operation Neptune Spear in
Abbottabad, Pakistan, on May 1, 2011,
which resulted in the death of Osama bin

LONG MILE HOME
Boston Under Attack, the City’s Courageous Recovery, and the Epic Hunt for Justice
Scott Helman and Jenna Russell
In the tradition of 102 Minutes and Columbine,
the definitive book on the Boston Marathon
bombing and subsequent manhunt by reporters
for The Boston Globe, published to coincide with
the first anniversary of the tragedy
Long Mile Home will tell the gripping story of the tragic, surreal, and ultimately
inspiring week of April 15, 2013: the preparations of the bombers; the glory of the race;
the extraordinary emergency response to the explosions; the massive deployment of
city, state, and federal law enforcement personnel; and the nation’s and the world’s
emotional and humanitarian response before, during, and after the apprehension of
the suspects.
The authors, both journalists at The Boston Globe, are backed by that paper’s
deep, relentless, and widely praised coverage of the event. Through the eyes of seven
principal characters including the bombers, the wounded, a victim, a cop, and a
doctor, Helman and Russell will trace the distinct paths that brought them together.
With an unprecedented level of detail and insight, the book will offer revelations,
insights, and powerful stories of heroism and humanity.
Long Mile Home will also highlight the bravery, resourcefulness, and resiliency of
the Boston community. It will portray the city on its worst day but also at its best.

| On April 15, 2013, everything was close to perfect
for the 117th Boston Marathon, the most cherished day on the
city’s calendar. For one Monday every spring, Boston halts to
mark Patriots’ Day, commemorating the opening battles of the
Revolutionary War. The whiff of revolution has long faded, but
the spirit of the old town endures—plucky, proudly independent,
and fiercely protective of tradition. There is hardly a bigger
tradition than the marathon. The weather on April 15, 2013—
cool, with a hazy sun—was ideal. The race was going swimmingly.
In the early afternoon, as exultant runners streamed across the
finish line, Governor Deval Patrick bestowed laurel wreaths and
congratulations on the top finishers. Thousands of spectators
remained after the winners were crowned, watching for loved
ones, enjoying the camaraderie, and relishing, among the
budding trees and blooming forsythia, the break from school and
work. Few noticed the two young men with bulky backpacks—
one in a black baseball cap, the other in a white hat turned
backward—as they walked toward the crowds on Boylston Street.

WHAT HAS BECOME OF YOU
A Novel
Jan Elizabeth Watson
What if a teacher’s most promising pupil is also her
most dangerous? A tautly plotted psychological
thriller, as intelligent as it is mesmerizing
What Has Become of You follows Vera Lundy, an aspiring crime writer and master of
self-deprecation who, like many adults, has survived adolescence but hasn’t entirely
overcome it. When she agrees to fill in for a private school English teacher on maternity
leave, teaching The Catcher in the Rye to privileged girls, Vera feels in over her head.
The students are on edge, too, due to the recent murder of a local girl close to their age.
Enter Jensen Willard. At fifteen she’s already a gifted writer but also selfdestructive and eerily reminiscent of Vera’s younger self. As the two outcasts forge
a tentative bond, a sense of menace enfolds their small New England town. When
another student, new to the country, is imperiled by her beliefs, Vera finds herself in
the vortex of danger—and suspicion.
With the threat of a killer at large, the disappearance of her increasingly worrisome pupil, and her own professional reputation at stake, Vera must thread her way
among what is right by the law, by her students, and by herself. In this poignant pageturner, populated with beguiling characters and sharp social insights, coming-of-age
can happen no matter how old you are.
EXCERPT | As they were nearly finished, Vera gave a start—there was a twelfth girl seated, a girl
she hadn’t noticed before. “Ah. We’ve got a dirty dozen, after all. You must be”—she checked her
roster—“Jensen Willard.”
The girl sitting at the desk was small, with wispy dark hair cut in no particular style. She
was wearing a charcoal-colored dress that looked like something someone’s grandmother had
donated to Goodwill; it was made of a crinkly fabric, with a floppy, withered bow at the neck. The dress was accessorized with mud-caked combat boots, the long laces wound around her
calves several times. Vera couldn’t help thinking that the girl’s style suited her. But how had she
managed to creep in so quietly wearing those heavy boots?
“We were just finishing up introductions of each other,” Vera said to her, “mostly for my benefit.
Is there anything you’d like to tell me about yourself?”

SUSPICION
A Novel
Joseph Finder
The thriller to read in 2014, about a single
father who is forced to make a choice with
unspeakable consequences—from New York
Times bestselling author Joseph Finder
When single father Danny Goodman suddenly finds himself unable to afford the
private school his teenage daughter adores, he has no one to turn to for financial
support.
In what seems like a stroke of brilliant luck, Danny meets Thomas Galvin, the
father of his daughter’s new best friend, who also happens to be one of the wealthiest
men in Boston. Galvin is aware of Danny’s situation and out of the blue offers a $50,000
loan to help Danny cover his daughter’s tuition. Uncomfortable but desperate, Danny
takes the money, promising to pay Galvin back.
What transpires is something Danny never imagined. The moment the money
is wired into his account, the DEA comes knocking on his door. Danny’s impossible
choice: an indictment for accepting drug money that he can’t afford to fight in court,
or an unthinkably treacherous undercover assignment helping the government get
close to his new best friend.
As Danny begins to lie to everyone in his life, including those he loves most
in the world, he must decide once and for all who the real enemy is or risk losing
everything—and everyone—that matters to him.

Backlands
A Novel of the American West
Michael McGarrity
Michael McGarrity returns with the second installment
of his sweeping, richly authentic New York Times
bestselling trilogy set in the raw, untrammeled
New Mexico backlands during the Roaring
Twenties, the Great Depression, and World War II.
Hard Country, the first novel in the Kerney family trilogy and the debut prequel to
his national bestselling Kevin Kerney crime novels, was critically acclaimed for its
authentic, gritty realism; its sprawling, engrossing story; and its compelling, engaging
characters. An instant hit on several national bestseller lists, Hard Country continues
to attract an overwhelmingly positive response from critics, booksellers, and readers.
Backlands advances the story of Patrick Kerney; his ex-wife, Emma; and their
young son, Matthew, shortly after the tragic battlefield death of their eldest son, CJ, at
the end of World War I. Scarred by the loss of an older brother he idolized, estranged
from a father he barely knows, and deeply troubled by the failing health of a mother
he adores, eight-year-old Matthew is suddenly and irrevocably forced to set aside his
childhood and take on responsibilities far beyond his years. When the world spirals
into the Great Depression and drought settles like a plague over the nation, Matt must
abandon his own dreams to salvage the Kerney ranch. Plunged into a deep trough of
dark family secrets, hidden crimes, broken promises, and lies, Matt must struggle to
survive on the unforgiving, sun-blasted, drought-stricken Tularosa Basin.
An expansive, epic tale like Philipp Meyer’s The Son, and in the wonderful
storyteller vein of Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove, McGarrity’s Backlands showcases
his keen eye for historical detail, awe-inspiring scenery, and the bitter harshness of life
on the last vestiges of the twentieth-century frontier West.
P r a i s e f o r M I C H AE L M c G ARR I T Y A N D H A R D C O U N T R Y
“A well-rendered neoclassic tale of the Old West, worthy
of a place alongside Lonesome Dove and Sea of Grass.”
—Kirkus Reviews
32
“Any readers interested in the Western genre will be delighted
by McGarrity’s take on harsh frontier life, and loyal fans of
detective Kevin Kerney will be excited to see this prequel.”

Denali’s Howl
The Deadliest Climbing Disaster on America’s Wildest Peak
Andy Hall
Denali’s Howl is the white-knuckle account of one
of the most deadly climbing disasters of all time.

© Howard Snyder
In 1967, twelve young men attempted to climb Alaska’s Mount McKinley—known to
the locals as Denali—one of the most popular and deadly mountaineering destinations
in the world. Only five survived.
Journalist Andy Hall, son of the park superintendent at the time, investigates the
tragedy. He spent years tracking down survivors, lost documents, and recordings of
radio communications. In Denali’s Howl, Hall reveals the full story of an expedition
facing conditions conclusively established here for the first time: At an elevation of
nearly 20,000 feet, these young men endured an “arctic super blizzard,” with howling
winds of up to 300 miles an hour and wind chill that freezes flesh solid in minutes. All
this without the high-tech gear and equipment climbers use today.
As well as the story of the men caught inside the storm, Denali’s Howl is the
story of those caught outside it trying to save them—Hall’s father among them. The
book gives readers a detailed look at the culture of climbing then and now and raises
uncomfortable questions about each player in this tragedy. Was enough done to
rescue the climbers, or were their fates sealed when they ascended into the path of
this unprecedented storm?

EXCERPT | That evening, Joe Wilcox had dinner at our house. He entered
the front room and seemed to tower over Dad. He had a dark beard and
spoke with a soft melodic voice, and though he was only twenty-four, he
seemed to me to carry himself like a much older man. Mom forbade any
questions about the accident, to give Joe at least a few minutes of peace.
I was intensely curious about what had happened but knew to hold my
tongue. Though just a child, I could sense the sadness in the room.
After dinner, the old crank phone hanging on the kitchen wall rang
short-long-short, the ring sequence that had been assigned to us on the
party line that ran through the headquarters.
Dad lifted the earpiece from its cradle and spoke into the microphone
extending from the front of the wooden box. He listened momentarily,
then hung up and turned to Joe.
“Let’s go. They’ve found two more bodies.”

THE IMMORTAL CROWN
An Age of X Novel
Richelle Mead
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the
Vampire Academy and Bloodline series returns with the
second installment in her acclaimed Age of X series.
Gameboard of the Gods introduced religious investigator Justin March and Mae
Koskinen, the beautiful supersoldier assigned to protect him. Together they have been
charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods,
both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified
knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human
control, but the elect—special humans marked by the divine—are turning against one
another in bloody fashion.
Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation
headed by Lucian Darling, Justin’s old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA’s
dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities
and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work,
even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity.
Meanwhile, Mae—grudgingly posing as Justin’s concubine—has a secret mission
of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with
Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods in Arcadia, a reporter’s connection
with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission—and with
it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret.

Phantom Instinct
A Novel
Meg Gardiner
In Edgar Award–winning author Meg Gardiner’s new
stand-alone thriller, an injured cop and an ex-thief
hunt down a killer nobody else believes exists.
When shots ring out in a crowded L.A. club, bartender Harper Flynn watches helplessly
as her boyfriend, Drew, is gunned down in the cross fire. Then somebody throws a
Molotov cocktail, and the club is quickly engulfed in flames. L.A. Sheriff Deputy Aiden
Garrison sees a gunman in a hoodie and gas mask taking aim at Harper, but before
he can help her a wall collapses, bringing the building down and badly injuring him.
A year later, Harper is trying to rebuild her life. She has quit her job and gone back
to college. Meanwhile, the investigation into the shoot-out has been closed. The two
gunmen were killed when the building collapsed.
Certain that a third gunman escaped and is targeting the survivors, Harper
enlists the help of Aiden Garrison, the only person willing to listen. But the traumatic
brain injury he suffered has cut his career short and left him with Fregoli syndrome, a
rare type of face blindness that causes the delusion that random people are actually a
single person changing disguises.
As Harper and Aiden delve into the case, Harper realizes that her presence during
the attack was no coincidence—and that her only ally is unstable, mistrustful of her,
and seeing the same enemy everywhere he looks.

Terminal City
A Novel
Linda Fairstein
With her newest Alexandra Cooper novel, Terminal
City, New York Times bestselling author Linda Fairstein
delivers another breakneck thriller that captures the
essence of New York City—its glamour, its possibilities,
and its endless capacity for darkness.
Linda Fairstein is well-known for illuminating the dark histories in many of New York’s
forgetten corners—and sometimes in the city’s most popular landmarks. In Terminal
City, Fairstein turns her attention to the very center of the city.
Grand Central Terminal is not only one of New York’s most iconic structures; it’s
also the sixth most visited tourist attraction in the world. From the world’s largest
Tiffany clock decorating the Forty-Second Street entrance to using electric trains
since the early 1900s, Grand Central has been a symbol of beauty and innovation in
New York City for more than one hundred years.
But “the world’s loveliest station” is hiding more than just an underground train
system, and in Terminal City Alex Cooper and Mike Chapman must contend with
Grand Central’s dark secrets as well as their own changing relationship.

In New York Times bestseller Brad Taylor’s latest Pike
Logan thriller, the Taskforce must stop their most
devastating threat yet—a weapon of mass destruction.
The Taskforce is used to being the hunter, but this time they’re the hunted.
Intent on embroiling the US in a quagmire that will sap its economy and drain
its legitimacy, Russia passes a potential weapon of mass destruction to Boco Haram,
an extreme Islamic sect in Nigeria. A relic of the Cold War, the Russian FSB believes
the weapon has deteriorated and is no longer effective, but they are wrong. Boco
Haram has the means for mass destruction, which will be set loose upon a multitude
of unsuspecting innocents on one of the world’s grandest stages.
Trying to solve the riddle of who might be stalking them, Pike Logan and the
Taskforce have no idea what’s been set in motion; but there’s another secret from the
Cold War buried in the Russian FSB, and exposing it will mean the difference between
life and death—not only for Pike and his partner, Jennifer, but for perhaps millions
more around the globe.

PROTOTYPE

The stunning debut that began with Archetype—
and has readers buzzing—concludes in Prototype,
when a woman’s dual pasts lock onto a collision
course, threatening her present and future.
Emma looks forward to the day when she can let go of her past—both of them. After
more than a year on the run, with clues to her parents’ whereabouts within her grasp,
she may finally find a place to settle down. Start a new life. Maybe even create new
memories with a new family.
But the past rises to haunt her and to make sure there’s nowhere on the planet
she can hide. Declan Burke wants his wife back, and with a little manipulation and a
lot of reward money, he’s got the entire world on his side. Except for the one man she
dreads confronting the most: Noah Tucker.
Emma returns to face what she’s done but finds that the past isn’t the problem.
It’s the present—and the future it represents. Noah has moved on and another woman
is raising their daughter.
In the shocking conclusion to M.D. Waters’s spectacular debut, Emma battles for
her life and her freedom, tearing down walls and ripping off masks to reveal the truth.
She’s decided to play their game and prove she isn’t the woman they thought she was.
Even if it means she winds up dead. Or worse, reborn.

in the new novel from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Julie Garwood.
Cordelia Kane has always been a daddy’s girl—her father raised her alone after her
mother died in a car crash when Cordelia was just two years old. So when he has a
serious heart attack, Cordelia is devastated, and the emotion is only intensified by the
confusion she feels when he reveals the shocking truth about her mother.
Cordelia can’t suppress her curiosity about the woman who gave birth to her, and
when she discovers the answers to her questions lie in Sydney, Australia, she travels
there to get them.
Hotel magnate Aiden Madison is Cordelia’s best friend’s older brother. He’s
oblivious to the fact that she’s had a crush on him for years. When he gets railroaded
into taking her along to Sydney on his company jet, he unknowingly puts her life at
risk. He’s recently angered a powerful congressman by refusing to purchase overvalued
land. Congressman Chambers is not a man to let such an offense slide, and he has the
resources to get even and to get what he wants.
In Australia sparks are flying between Cordelia and Aiden, but multiple attempts
on Aiden’s life are made while Cordelia is with him, and he realizes he must put a stop
to the madness before he loses the thing he values most.

The Organized mIND
Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload
Daniel J. Levitin
New York Times bestselling author and neuroscientist
Daniel J. Levitin shifts his keen insights from your
brain on music to your brain in a sea of details.
The information age is drowning us with an unprecedented deluge of data. At the
same time, we’re expected to make more—and faster—decisions about our lives than
ever before. No wonder, then, that the average American reports frequently losing
car keys or reading glasses, missing appointments, and feeling worn out by the effort
required just to keep up.
But somehow some people become quite accomplished at managing information
flow. In The Organized Mind, Daniel J. Levitin, PhD, uses the latest brain science to
demonstrate how those people excel—and how readers can use their methods to
regain a sense of mastery over the way they organize their homes, workplaces, and
time.
With lively, entertaining chapters on everything from the kitchen junk drawer
to health care to executive office workflow, Levitin reveals how new research into the
cognitive neuroscience of attention and memory can be applied to the challenges of
our daily lives.
This Is Your Brain on Music showed how to better play and appreciate music
through an understanding of how the brain works. The Organized Mind shows how to
navigate the churning flood of information in the twenty-first century with the same
neuroscientific perspective.
| On organizing time
Ruth was a thirty-seven-year-old married mother of six. One evening she prepared dinner to
be served at 6:00 p.m., but when her husband walked in ten minutes late, he saw things were
amiss. Two pots simmered on the stove, but the meat was still frozen and there was a partially
made salad. Ruth had just picked up a tray of dessert and was getting ready to serve it. She
had no awareness that she was doing things in the wrong order or, in fact, that a proper order
existed.
Ruth had recently suffered damage to her prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that helps
to organize time, to engage in planning, and to stay on task. . . .
The brain encodes information in chunks, so the information must have a beginning and
an end. We organize time into chunks of activity: I am not “building a house today” or even
“building the bathroom,” I am “preparing the floor for the tile.” Even Superman chunks—he
might wake up one morning and tell Lois Lane, “I’m off to save the world today, honey,” but
what he tells himself is the list of tasks involved: 1. Capture Lex Luthor. 2. Dispose of Kryptonite
safely. 3. . . .

VISIONS
A Cainsville Novel
Kelley Armstrong
As #1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley
Armstrong’s new Cainsville series continues,
Olivia’s power to read omens leads to the
discovery of a gruesome crime with troubling
connections to her new hometown.
Omens, the first installment in Kelley Armstrong’s exciting new series, introduced
Olivia Taylor-Jones, daughter of notorious serial killers, and Gabriel Walsh, the selfserving, morally ambiguous lawyer who became her unlikely ally. Together, they
chased down a devious killer and partially cleared her parents of their horrifying
crimes.
Their success, however, is short-lived. While Olivia takes refuge in the old,
secluded town of Cainsville, Gabriel’s past mistakes have come to light, creating a rift
between the pair just when she needs his help the most.
Olivia finds a dead woman in her car, dressed to look like her, but the body
vanishes before anyone else sees it. Olivia’s convinced it’s another omen, a sign of
impending danger. But then she learns that a troubled young woman went missing
just days ago—the same woman Olivia found dead in her car. Someone has gone to
great lengths to kill and leave this young woman as a warning. But why? And what role
has her new home played in this disturbing murder?
Olivia’s effort to uncover the truth places her in the crosshairs of old and powerful
forces, forces that have their own agenda, and closely guarded secrets they don’t want
revealed.
P r a i s e f o r kE L L E Y a R M S T RO N G ’ S o me n s
“One of the best new series debuts this year!
With its compelling characters and completely

A Novel
Tami Hoag
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag
delivers a shocking stand-alone thriller
Dana Nolan was a promising young TV reporter until she was kidnapped by a
notorious serial killer. A year has passed since she defeated her attacker, but Dana is
still physically, emotionally, and psychologically scarred by her ordeal, with aftereffects
including PTSD and memory loss. In an attempt to put herself back together after
surviving the unthinkable, Dana returns to her hometown. But it doesn’t provide the
comfort she expects: She struggles to recognize family and childhood friends and
begins experiencing dark flashbacks—but she’s not sure if they’re truly memories or
side effects of her brain injury.
Dana decides to use her investigative skills to piece together her past and learns
of the event that made her become a reporter in the first place: the disappearance of
her best friend, Casey Grant, the summer after high school graduation. Looking at her
past and the unsolved mystery through the dark filter of PTSD, old friends seem to be
suspects, authority figures part of a cover-up. Dana begins to question everything she
knows. What is real? What is imagined? Are we defined by what happens to us? And
is the truth really something too terrible to be believed?

On the Court and Inside the Heads of Basketball’s Best Players
Idan Ravin
Basketball’s most unlikely—and most sought-after—guru
offers an inside look at his career, his methods, and the
superstar players whose games he’s helped transform.
Where do the best basketball players in the world turn when they want to improve
their game? Whom does a future NBA Hall of Famer thank at his press conference
when he’s named Rookie of the Year? Who is it that Sports Illustrated, The Wall Street
Journal, and Men’s Journal all call “the Hoops Whisperer” because of his ability to
engage, inspire, and challenge the players he works with to perfect their performance?
The answer to all of these questions is Idan Ravin.
A soft-spoken former lawyer, Ravin never played or coached in college or the pros,
yet a virtual NBA All-Star team relies on him to better their game and help them reach
their full potential.
In The Hoops Whisperer, Ravin shares the fascinating story of how he transformed
a passion for the game into working with iconic basketball stars such as Chris Paul,
LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Stephen Curry, Blake Griffin, James
Harden, Dwight Howard, and many more. He offers a rare, unguarded glimpse inside
the lives of these great athletes, drawn from his intimate connection with them that
is the basis of his success.
Showcasing his unorthodox approach and improvisational techniques, Ravin
reveals how faith, effort, dedication, and passion can prepare anyone to perform at
the highest level. Combined with his own inspiring journey, his insights make The
Hoops Whisperer a must-read for anyone who loves the game.

How We Started Juicy Couture for $200 and Turned It into a Global Brand
Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor with Booth Moore
Part memoir, part business manual, and 100%
juicy—the inside story of Juicy Couture, one
of the most iconic brands of our times
While working together at a Los Angeles boutique, Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela NashTaylor became fast and furious friends over the impossibility of finding the perfect
T-shirt. Following their vision of comfortable, fitted T-shirts, they set up shop in Gela’s
one-bedroom Hollywood apartment with $200 and one rule: Whatever they did, they
both had to be obsessed by it. The best friends’ project became Juicy Couture. Pam and
Gela eventually sold their company to Liz Claiborne for $50 million, but not before
they created a whole new genre of casual clothing that came to define California cool.
Pam and Gela built an empire from the ground up, using themselves as models
to build their patterns and placing their merchandise by storming into stores and
handing out samples. They balanced careful growth with innovative tactics—sending
Madonna a tracksuit with her nickname, Madge, embroidered on it—and created a
unique, bold, and unconventional business plan that was all their own: the Glitter
Plan.
Now, Pam and Gela reveal the secrets of Juicy’s success: how they learned to find
and stick with the right colleagues and trust their instincts when it became time to
move on to their next project. They also share their missteps and hilarious lessons
learned—like the time robbers stole one thousand pairs of maternity shortalls, which
the partners took as the first sign to get out of the maternity clothing business.
Told in the bright, cheery voice that defines Juicy style even today, The Glitter Plan
shows readers how to transform passion and ideas into business success. Aspiring
designers, Juicy fans, and business readers of all stripes will be enthralled by the story
of spirit and savvy behind Pam and Gela’s multimillion-dollar fashion empire.
✦Pam and Gela have appeared on CNN and Oprah and have been featured in
The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle, Fortune,
Women’s Wear Daily, and Advertising Age.

EXCERPT | This is a fairy tale about two nice girls who love stuff—and
we’re going to approach it the way we approached our business: with
glitter and guts and stream of thought—and together.
We not only share an intense love of fashion but an equally intense
friendship. We’re going to tell you what worked for us for the past
twenty-five years.
The trick to success is passion; you can’t manufacture that. You
have to find that one thing you love more than anything. For us it was
fashion. We both loved clothes for as long as we could remember.
Although we didn’t think about it at the time, we took a holistic
approach that’s the opposite of how most corporate jobs are set up
today. We had the freedom of mind to think like mavericks, but we
also had an understanding of the commerce side. If you’re not making
money, it’s not a real business; it’s a hobby.
We never had a business plan, not an MBA type of business plan
anyway. We each put in $100 and that money went straight into the
product. We started small, with one specific item, and set out to see if
there was a market for it.
After graduating from Carnegie Mellon,
Gela Nash-Taylor was an actress
until she entered fashion. She is married
to John Taylor of Duran Duran. They and
their two children live in Los Angeles and
the UK.
Pamela Skaist-Levy is a graduate
of the Fashion Institute of Design and
Merchandising. A former costume
designer, she is married to writer/
producer/director Jefery Levy. They have
one son and live in Malibu.
The partners launched their new line,

A Difficult Par
Robert Trent Jones Sr. and the Making of Modern Golf
James R. Hansen
The definitive account of modern golf’s foremost
architect from the New York Times bestselling
author of First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong
Robert Trent Jones was the most prolific and influential golf course architect of the
twentieth century and became the archetypical modern golf course designer. Jones
spread the gospel of golf by designing courses in forty-two U.S. states and twenty-eight
countries. Twenty U.S. Opens, America’s national championship, have been contested
on Jones-designed courses.
New York Times bestselling biographer James R. Hansen, author of First Man: The
Life of Neil A. Armstrong, recounts how an English immigrant boy arrived in upstate
New York in 1912, just as golf was emerging as a popular pastime in America. Jones
excelled as a golfer, earning admission to Cornell University, whose faculty consented
to a curriculum tailored to teach him the knowledge needed to design golf courses.
Cornell provided the springboard for an act of self-invention that propelled Jones
from obscurity to worldwide fame.
Jones believed that every hole should be “a difficult par but an easy bogey.” As
gifted as he was at golf design, Jones was equally skilled as a salesman, promoter,
and entrepreneur. Golf Digest’s annual rankings of the 100 Greatest Golf Courses have
regularly featured about fifty Jones designs, paving the path for his two sons, Robert
Jr. and Rees, whose work would carry on their father’s tradition. Hansen examines
Jones’s legacy in all its complexity and influence, including the fraternal rivalry of
Jones’s distinguished sons.
✦Published in time for golf season and Father’s Day
✦James R. Hansen’s First Man was a New York Times bestseller and earned
numerous book awards, including the American Astronautical Society’s Prize for
Astronautical Literature, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics’
Outstanding Book Award, and Choice magazine’s Outstanding Academic Book of
2006.
✦Hansen has been a golf course rater for Golfweek magazine’s listings of the Top 100
courses for the last thirteen years.

The Map Thief
The Gripping Story of an Esteemed Rare-Map Dealer
Who Made Millions Stealing Priceless Maps
Michael Blanding
The story of an infamous crime, a revered
map dealer with an unsavory secret, and
the ruthless subculture that consumed him
Maps have long exerted a special fascination—both as beautiful works of art and
as practical tools to navigate the world. But to those who collect them, the map
trade can be a cutthroat business, inhabited by quirky and sometimes disreputable
characters in search of a finite number of extremely rare objects. Once considered a
respectable rare-map dealer, E. Forbes Smiley made millions and was highly esteemed
for his knowledge—until he was arrested for slipping maps out of books in the Yale
University library.
Though pieces of the story have been told before, Blanding is the first reporter to
gain access to Smiley himself after he’d gone silent. Moreover, although Smiley swears
he has admitted to all of the maps he stole, libraries claim he stole hundreds more—
and offer intriguing clues to prove it. Now, through a series of exclusive interviews
with Smiley and other key individuals, Michael Blanding teases out an astonishing
tale of destruction and deception.
The Map Thief interweaves Smiley’s escapades with the stories of the explorers
and mapmakers he knew better than anyone. Tracking a series of thefts as brazen
as the art heists in Provenance and a subculture as obsessive as the oenophiles in
The Billionaire’s Vinegar, Blanding has pieced together an unforgettable story of highstakes crime.
| When people thought of Forbes Smiley, a few words inevitably sprang to mind:
Gregarious. Jolly. Larger-than-life. He had a voice too loud for libraries—and, like Daisy
Buchanan’s, it was “full of money.” While Smiley’s old New England roots were authentic, he
played them up, assuming the WASPy affectations that he would so successfully use in his later
life as a map dealer to the wealthy. When he made phone calls, he made sure to announce that
he was calling “from the Vineyard.” If people mistook him for being related to the famous Forbes
family that helped build Boston in the nineteenth century, he never bothered to correct them.
Any eye-rolling, however, was often quashed by his charming self-deprecation and his
infectious laugh. For years, friends had been seduced by Smiley’s laugh, which rolled up out
of his belly and wracked his entire body. It was the kind of laugh that generally caused people
to excuse the pretension that crept into his voice when he was expounding on one of his
obsessions—architecture, jazz music, New England history, and, of course, maps. Whether
they liked him or not, his colleagues and rivals in the map business had all been seduced by
his knowledge of maps, which was as great or in some cases greater than anyone in the world.

the Crossword Century
100 Years of Witty Wordplay, Ingenious Puzzles, and Linguistic Mischief
Alan Connor
A journalist and word aficionado salutes
the history and pleasures of the world’s
most popular intellectual pastime.
Since its debut in The New York World on December 21, 1913, the crossword puzzle has
enjoyed a rich and surprisingly lively existence. Alan Connor, a British comic writer
known for his exploration of all things crossword in The Guardian, covers every twist
and turn: from the 1920s, when crosswords were considered a menace to productive
society; to World War II, when they were used to recruit code breakers; to their starring
role in a 2008 episode of The Simpsons; and to the continuing influence of people like
Will Shortz, the iconic New York Times crossword editor.
He also profiles the colorful characters who make up the interesting and bizarre
subculture of crossword constructors and competitive solvers, including a ninetyyear-old vicar who still creates devious puzzles for some of the top newspapers, and a
man who boasts that he can solve a puzzle in the time it takes to boil an egg.
At a time when the printed word is in decline, Connor marvels at the crossword’s
seamless transition onto Kindles and iPads. He also explores the way the human brain
processes crosswords versus computers that are largely stumped by clues that require
wordplay or a simple grasp of humor.
A fascinating examination of our most beloved linguistic amusement—and filled
with tantalizing crosswords and clues embedded in the text—The Crossword Century
is sure to attract the attention of the readers who made Word Freak and Just My Type
bestsellers.
✦WELL-RESPECTED WRITER ACROSS THE UK AND U.S.: Alan Connor was a writer on
A Young Doctor’s Notebook starring Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe and has written
for some of the most popular British TV shows, including 10’Clock Live and Weekly
Wipe. He also writes for some of the funniest British comedians, among them
Caitlin Moran, author of the New York Times bestseller How to Be a Woman. Connor
also writes a blog for The Guardian about cryptic puzzles and crosswords, and is
widely known for his funny exploration of all things crossword.

EXCERPT
| On January 2, 1924, the aspiring publisher Dick Simon went for
supper with his aunt Wixie, who asked him where she could get a book of
crosswords for a niece who had become addicted to the puzzles in the New
York World. Simon mentioned the query to his would-be business partner,
Lincoln Schuster, and they discovered that no such book existed.
On the one hand, this was good news: They had formed a publishing
company but so far had no manuscripts to publish. On the other, their
aspirations for Simon & Schuster were considerably higher than a collection
of trivial puzzles. The compromise was a corporate alias named after their
telephone exchange: Plaza Publishing.
Simon & Schuster approached the sub-editor who had been appointed
by the New York World in 1920, Margaret Petherbridge, who, being both
young and a woman, had been assigned the suitably lowly task of factchecking the crosswords to try to reduce the volume of letters of complaint,
and now found her intended career in journalism permanently on hold.
Petherbridge was offered an advance of $25 to assemble enough puzzles
for a book. Simon & Schuster decided to attach a sharpened pencil to every
copy, priced them at $1.35, and spent their remaining pre-launch money
on a one-inch advertisement in the World.
Alan Connor is an Oxford-educated
writer, journalist, television producer, and
academic. Connor has written material
for British comedians, including Caitlin
Moran, and also writes for A Young

My Life as a Country Vet
Dr. Jan Pol with David Fisher
The star of The Incredible Dr. Pol shares
amusing and often poignant tales from his
four decades as a vet in rural Michigan.
Dr. Jan Pol is not your typical veterinarian. Born and raised in the Netherlands on
a dairy farm, he is the star of Nat Geo Wild’s hit show The Incredible Dr. Pol and has
been treating animals in rural Michigan since the 1970s. Dr. Pol’s more than 20,000
clients have brought in animals ranging from white mice to 2,600-pound horses and
everything in between.
From the time he was twelve years old and helped deliver a litter of piglets on
his brother’s farm to the incredible moments captured on his hit TV show, Dr. Pol
has amassed a wealth of stories about what it’s like caring for this menagerie. He
shares his own story of growing up surrounded by animals, training to be a vet in the
Netherlands, and moving to Michigan to open his first practice in a pre fab house. He
has established himself as an empathetic yet no-nonsense vet who isn’t afraid to make
difficult decisions in order to do what’s best for his patients—and their hard-working
owners. A sick pet can bring heartache, but a sick cow or horse could threaten the
very livelihood of a farmer whose modest profits are dependent on healthy livestock.
Reminiscent of the classic books of James Herriot, Never Turn Your Back on an
Angus Cow is a charming, fascinating, and funny memoir that will delight animal
lovers everywhere.
✦Published in time for the fourth season of The Incredible Dr. Pol
✦The Incredible Dr. Pol is the highest rated show on Nat Geo Wild and receives more
than 500,000 views on average per episode.

The Leadership Playbook
Creating a Coaching Culture to Build Winning Business Teams
Nathan Jamail
The first mainstream leadership book
from a widely respected businessman and
consultant and the successful self-published
author of The Sales Leaders Playbook
There are enormous differences between managing and coaching. In fact, Nathan
Jamail—a leading consultant, professional speaker, and the president of his own group
of businesses—would say that the two are essentially opposite. Yet many companies
and organizations encourage their leaders to coach teams without ever teaching
them how and without creating a culture that supports coaching.
Prior to founding his own company, Jamail trained coaches at several Fortune
500 companies and learned that it takes more than just skills to achieve success; a
truly effective coach needs an organizational culture that creates and multiplies the
success of every motivated team member. The Leadership Playbook shows leaders how
to be effective coaches and to build effective teams by:
• Fostering employees’ beliefs in the culture of a company
• Resolving issues proactively rather than reactively and creating an involvement
that constantly pushes employees to be their best
• Focusing on the more humane principles of leadership—gratitude, positivity,
and recognition—that keep morale high
• Holding teams and individuals accountable
• Constantly recruiting talent (“building the bench”) rather than filling positions
only when they are empty
Combining research, interviews, and inspiring stories with the lessons that
have earned Jamail the respect of the world’s foremost corporations, The Leadership
Playbook will dominate the category for years to come.
✦Nathan Jamail has sold more than 65,000 copies of his self-published books The
Sales Leaders Playbook, The Sales Professionals Playbook, and The Sales Leaders
Gameplan.
✦His articles have appeared in The Commercial Appeal, Drake Business Review, Small
Business Opportunities, Home Business Magazine, and more.
✦He speaks to fifty to seventy-five major corporations and organizations a year,
including Samsung, CISCO Systems, State Farm, Georgia-Pacific, and the US Army.

The Circumference of a Prison
Dwayne Betts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 76–77
The Circumference of a Prison
Youth, Race, and the Failures of the American Justice System
Dwayne Betts
The NAACP Image Award–winning author of
A Question of Freedom examines the failures—
and broader repercussions—of America’s
broken juvenile justice system.
Dwayne Betts knows the hazards of juvenile incarceration firsthand. Arrested at age
sixteen, Betts served eight years in an adult prison, coming of age behind bars. Today,
Betts is free and a nationally known advocate for juvenile justice and prison reform.
In The Circumference of a Prison, Betts shapes his narrative around individuals and
families whose lives were profoundly impacted by juvenile incarceration, revealing
the many disastrous effects of these failed policies. But the book’s message is also one
of hope, as Betts tells stories of the people and programs that are helping to change
perceptions.
By setting these stories against a context of shortsighted legislation and
sensationalized media reports, Betts powerfully underscores the high societal cost
of our nation’s practice of incarcerating juveniles with adults. Timely and persuasive,
The Circumference of a Prison is a crucial examination of our troubled justice system
and an impassioned plea for reform from an important new voice.
✦Over the past four decades, America’s prison population has increased by more
than 500%. And each year—despite abundant research showing that young
people confined in prison are as much as 34% more likely to later reoffend than
those held in juvenile detention centers—nearly 200,000 juveniles are tried,
sentenced, or serve time as adults.
✦Betts has lectured at numerous schools and events, including the National
Conference for State Legislators, National Organization of Black Law Enforcement
Executives Conference, the Beyond the Bench Conference, Georgetown University
Law Center, American University, Howard University School of Law, and at many
prisons and detention centers.
✦Strong course-adoption potential.
