The Globe Guide to Shakespeare
The Plays, The Productions, The Life
Andrew Dickson
In celebration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death and commissioned by Shakespeare’s
Globe Theatre, this is the ultimate guide to the life and work of the world’s greatest playwright.
Praise for Andrew Dickson’s The Rough Guide to Shakespeare:
“You couldn’t wish for a more user-friendly, reliable guidebook. I doff my Bardic cap to this fine
achievement.” —Anthony Holden, author of William Shakespeare: His Life and Work
“What I like most about The Rough Guide to Shakespeare is that its author grinds no axes of any kind.
His native good sense shines through on every page.” —The Wall Street Journal
“Compendious and likely to be extremely useful, whether you are just beginning Shakespeare or preparing
to see your forty-eighth Hamlet.” —The Times Literary Supplement
Commemorating the 400th anniversary of the world’s greatest playwright, this is the premier guide to the
life and work of William Shakespeare.
With full coverage of the thirty-seven Shakespearean plays, including a synopsis, full character list, stage
history, and a critical essay for each, this comprehensive guide is both a quick reference and in-depth background guide for theatergoers, students, film buffs, and lovers of literature. The Globe Guide to Shakespeare
also explores the Bard’s sonnets and narrative poems, combined with fascinating accounts of Shakespeare’s
life—and the Globe Theatre itself—exploring in colorful detail each play’s original performances.
This comprehensive guide includes up-to-date reviews of the best films and audio recordings of each
play, from Laurence Olivier and Baz Luhrmann to Kozintsev and Kurosawa. The Globe Guide to Shakespeare is the quintessential celebration of all things Shakespearean.
Andrew Dickson is a freelance writer and critic, and has also written for The New Statesman and Sight
and Sound. As well as being the author of The Rough Guide to Shakespeare, he has also contributed to
The New Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare (2010). In 2014 he was a visiting fellow at the University
of Warwick and is currently an honorary research fellow at Birkbeck, University of London. He makes
regular appearances on BBC radio and television. A new book about his work for Shakespeare around the
globe, Worlds Elsewhere: Journeys Around Shakespeare’s Globe will be published by Henry Holt.

Gods of the Morning
A Bird’s-Eye View of a Changing World
John Lister-Kaye
A celebration of birds that reflects a year in the wild, revealing how these amazing creatures embody
our changing world, by one of Britain’s foremost naturalists.
“Lister-Kaye is a gifted writer, braiding memories of
childhood and wide-ranging journeys as a naturalist. Gods
of the Morning perfectly encapsulates the paradoxical
relations human beings have to the natural world. The sense
of personal stewardship and individual responsibility that
Lister-Kaye embodies is a vital element of conservation.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“To read Gods of the Morning is to sink back into the grass,
slip away from rush-hour traffic and conference calls, and
notice that first hint of fall in the air. It’s a book you’ll want
to put down, not because you’ve lost your interest, but
precisely because you’ve found it—in the birds outside your
window, in the grass beneath your feet, in the moonlight
between the trees.”
—Audubon
Gods of the Morning follows the year through the turning
of the seasons at Aigas, the Highlands estate John ListerKaye has transformed into a world-renowned wildlife center.
John’s affection, wisdom, and lyricism sing off every page,
bringing the natural world around him to life: from the
rookery filled with twenty-nine nests and distinct bird calls to
descriptions of the winter morning light, from the wood mice
and the squirrels preparing for winter to tracking a fox’s path
through the snow. In particular it brings John’s lifelong love

Einstein’s Masterwork
1915 and the General Theory of Relativity
John Gribbin
One of the world’s most celebrated science writers reveals the origin of Einstein’s General Theory—
and provides a greater understanding of the man himself at the time of this pivotal achievement.
Advance praise from England:
“Einstein’s Masterwork provides an engaging evaluation
of Einstein’s theories of relativity, and is an ideal read for
anybody who is curious about the iconic scientist’s life.”
—All About History
“A beautifully written and highly accessible account of the
genesis of a great theory.”
—Physics World
“An absorbing and readable account of Einstein’s life
and work.”
—BBC
In 1915, Albert Einstein presented his masterwork to the
Prussian Academy of Sciences—a theory of gravity, matter,
space, and time: the General Theory of Relativity. Einstein
himself said it was “the most valuable theory of my life,”
and “of incomparable beauty.” It describes the evolution of
the universe, black holes, the behavior of orbiting neutron
stars, and why clocks run slower on the surface of the earth
than in space. It even suggests the possibility of time travel.
And yet when we think of Einstein’s breakthrough year, we
think instead of 1905, the year of Einstein’s Special Theory
of Relativity and his equation E=mc2, as his annus mirabilis,
even though the Special Theory has a narrower focus.
Today the General Theory is overshadowed by these
achievements, regarded as “too difficult” for ordinary mortals to comprehend. In Einstein’s Masterwork, John Gribbin
puts Einstein’s astonishing breakthrough in the context of
his life and work, and makes it clear why his greatest
year was indeed 1915 and his General Theory his true
masterpiece.

Unaccountable
How Elite Power Brokers Corrupt our Finances, Freedom, and Security
Janine R. Wedel
A groundbreaking book that challenges Americans to reevaluate our views on how a
new and more sophisticated style of corruption has infiltrated every level of society.
Praise for Janine R. Wedel:
“Slow but steady cultural shifts often go unremarked until we suddenly realize that we are in a place
we really do not want to be. Wedel documents an alarming increase in the number of individuals and
associations who, while purportedly acting in the public’s interest, seem actually to be pursuing their own
objectives.” —Bloomberg, A Best Book of the Year
“For political junkies and those in the Left and Right tails, there will be plenty to like in this book that will
confirm their worst fears. The book is engaging—and frightening.” —Choice
“A clarion call against some insidious threats to a healthy democracy.”
—The Financial Times
“Of huge value. Wedel has reinvented the study of public administration for an era of blurred roles and
secret networks. A must-read.” —James K. Galbraith, author of The Predator State
From libertarians to progressives, however divergent their political views, these groups seem united by one
thing: outrage over a system of power and influence that they feel has stolen their livelihoods and liberties.
Increasingly, protesters on both ends of the political spectrum and the media are using the word “corrupt”
to describe an illusory system of power that has shed any accountability to those it was meant to help and
govern.
But what do corruption and unaccountability mean in today’s world? They are far more toxic and deeply
rooted than bribery. From Super PACs pouring secret money into our election system to companies buying
better ratings from Standard & Poor’s to the extreme influence of lobbyists in Congress, all embody a “new
corruption” and remain unaccountable to our society’s supposed watchdogs.
Janine R. Wedel is also the author of Shadow Elite. She has written for the New York Times, Financial
Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Boston Globe. She is a professor in the
School of Public Policy at George Mason University.

The Edge of the World
A Cultural History of the North Sea and the Transformation of Europe
Michael Pye
An epic adventure ranging from the terror of the Vikings to the golden age of cities: Michael Pye
tells the amazing story of how modernity emerged on the shores of the North Sea.
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
“Bristling, wideranging and big-themed. At its most
meaningful, history involves a good deal of art and storytelling. Pye’s book is full of both. A fruitful way of reorienting our thinking about the past. Pye challenges us
to consider how we got to be where—and who—we are.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Beautifully written and thoughtfully researched. For
anyone who is tired of medieval history as a chronicle of
kings and kingdoms, knights and ladies, monks and heretics, The Edge of the World provides a welcome respite.”
“As Michael Pye shows us in The Edge of the World, the
people living around the North Sea were crucial to the birth
of a new Europe. Pye, like a scholarly magpie, picks up his
glittering bits from the most up-to-date academic research.”
—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post

intellectuals: they all crisscrossed the grey North Sea in

The World in Revolt

Vibrantly and perceptively told, this is the story of one remarkable year—
a vivid history of exhilarating triumphs and shattering defeats around the world.
“A marvelous social history of that year. 1956 was a world

shaking year.”
“Fast-moving and vivid. Hall is a fluent and unobtrusive
narrator.”
—The Independent
“Hall succeeds admirably in presenting 1956 as a year that
belongs in the same revolutionary tradition as 1848 and
1968.”
“Simon Hall’s 1956 offers a vivid, powerful, and panoramic
narrative of one of the most emblematic years of the twentieth century.” —Dominic Sandbrook, author of White Heat:
A History of Britain in the Swinging Sixties
1956 was one of the most remarkable years of the twentieth century. All across the globe, ordinary people spoke
out, filled streets and city squares, and took up arms to win
their freedom.
In this dramatic, page-turning history, Simon Hall takes
the long view of the year’s events—putting them in their
postwar context and looking toward their influence on the
counterculture movements of the 1960s—to tell the story of
the year’s sweeping, global struggles from the point of view
of the freedom fighters, dissidents, and countless ordinary
people who worked to overturn oppressive and authoritarian systems in order to build a brave new world. It was
an epic contest.
1956 is the first narrative history of the year as a whole—
and the first to frame its tumultuous events as part of an
interconnected, global story of revolution.

The Nightmare Place
A Novel
Steve Mosby
The new suspense thriller from CWA Dagger winner Steve Mosby, “one of a handful of writers who
make me excited about crime fiction.”—Val McDermid
“A sharply written thriller with well-developed characters
and an atmosphere so threatening you can almost feel it
jump off the page. A novel guaranteed to keep you up at

“Mosby has the talent to build both physical and psychological suspense. And he proves once again that he
really knows how to work the strings.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Absorbing. Mosby expertly intertwines the main plot
lines with several subplots in this psychologically attuned
thriller.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Mosby joins Ken Bruen, Mo Hayder, Val McDermid, and
others on the dark side of crime fiction; his thrillers build
suspense superbly, but his real strength is in character development. All his characters, particularly the women, are
well drawn and complex.”

Uncovering the facts will lead them all on a dark journey

The Monet Murders
A Mystery
Terry Mort
Private-investigator-to-the-stars Riley Fitzhugh finds himself caught up in the case of a missing
Hollywood beauty—and a stolen Monet—in a 1930s hard-boiled caper as deadly as it is delightful.
“A breezy debut noir set in Tinseltown circa 1934. Mort
generally keeps the banter-filled proceedings as bubbly as
the beverage his handsome protagonist frequently shares
with a number of knockouts.”
“The terms noir and delightful usually aren’t used together,
but they pair up happily in this entertaining romp. Mort has
fun with noir conventions but never mocks them—a difficult
trick to bring off, and he does it masterfully.”
—Booklist
“Terry Mort writes hard-boiled detective fiction like we all
imagine it was once written. Enjoyable and entertaining.”

Hollywood, 1934. Prohibition is finally over, but there is
still plenty of crime for an ambitious young private eye to
investigate. Though he has a slightly checkered past, Riley
Fitzhugh is well connected in the film industry and is hired
by a major producer—whose lovely girlfriend has disappeared. He also is hired to recover a stolen Monet, a crime
that results in two murders initially, with more to come.
Along the way Riley investigates the gambling ships
anchored off L.A., gets involved with the girlfriend of the
gangster running one of the ships, and disposes of the
body of a would-be actor who assaults Riley’s girlfriend.

Beloved Poison
A Novel
E. S. Thomson
Set in a crumbling 1850s London infirmary, a richly atmospheric Victorian crime novel
where murder is the price to be paid for secrets kept.
Ramshackle and crumbling, trapped in the past and
resisting the future, St. Saviour’s Infirmary awaits demolition. Within its stinking wards and cramped corridors, the
doctors bicker and backstab. Ambition, jealousy, loathing
(and even some subtle humor) seethe beneath the veneer
of professional courtesy. Always an outsider, and with
a secret of her own to hide, apothecary Jem Flockhart
observes everything but says nothing.
And then six tiny coffins are uncovered, inside each a
handful of dried flowers and a bundle of moldering rags.
When Jem comes across these strange relics hidden inside
the infirmary’s old chapel, her quest to understand their
meaning prises open a long-forgotten past—with fatal
consequences.
In a trail that leads from the bloody world of the operating
room and the dissecting table to the notorious squalor of
Newgate Prison and the gallows, Jem’s adversary proves
to be both powerful and ruthless. As St. Saviour’s destruction draws near, the dead are unearthed from their graves
while the living are forced to make impossible choices. And
murder is the price to be paid for the secrets to be kept.
E. S. Thomson has a PhD in the history of medicine and
works as a university lecturer in Edinburgh. She was shortlisted for the Saltire First Book Award and the Scottish Arts
Council First Book Award for Beloved Poison. Elaine lives in

Project Animal Farm
An Accidental Journey into the Secret World of Farming and the Truth About Our Food
Sonia Faruqi
Born out of a global expedition fearlessly undertaken by a young woman, Project Animal Farm
offers a riveting and revealing look at what truly happens behind farm doors.
“Let Sonia Faruqi take you on her courageous personal journey of discovery. I thought I already knew
everything there is to know about modern animal production, but I learned many new things from this very
readable book, and you will too.” —Peter Singer, philosopher and author of Animal Liberation
“Into an engaging account of the adventures of a young city dweller among the factory farmers, Sonia
Faruqi manages to smuggle a body of useful—and disturbing—information about this most secretive of
global enterprises.” —J. M. Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
“Faruqi thoughtfully explores the way in which brutality and disregard of animal welfare is endemic in the
industry on a global scale, and provides suggestions for realistic actions that readers can take to encourage
change. The book begs a comparison to Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Everybody who is interested in food policy and animal welfare should read this book. Project Animal Farm
will make you think long and hard.”
—Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human
Sonia Faruqi had an Ivy League degree and a job on Wall Street. But when the banking industry collapsed,
she found herself on a small organic dairy farm that would change her life for the better.
Surrounded by a colorful cast of characters, Faruqi’s quest to discover the truth about modern
agribusiness took her around the world. Lively, edgy, and balanced, Project Animal Farm sheds light on
international agribusiness, with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of farm animals here at home.
Using her finance background to forecast the future of agriculture, Faruqi discusses the changes we need
to make—using our forks and our votes.
Sonia Faruqi graduated from Dartmouth College with honors and cum laude distinction. She worked
at an investment bank on Wall Street before changing her path to investigate animal farms around
the world, toward the aim of improving animal lives and reforming our current system of food production. An unconventional author with an original approach, Sonia stands primed to become one of the
most important voices in food today. She lives in Toronto.

Pocahontas
Princess of the New World
Loïc locatelli-kournwsky
tr an s l at ed by s an d r a s mith
A stunning interpretation of the unforgettable story of our greatest Native American princess,
vividly illustrated as never before.
Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan, has been promised to her betrothed, Kokum, according to custom. At
that very moment, three British ships arrive on the coast
of America.
It is 1607, and the life of Pocahontas—like the fate of the
entire American continent—is about to change dramatically. With her great love of freedom—as well as her belief
in understanding and tolerance between the two peoples—
and by defying her father’s taboos, Pocahontas forges a
relationship with the British colonists who have just disembarked. She secretly provides them with food, saves the life
of the handsome Captain Smith . . . and discovers an emotion that she has never experienced in her life.
Set in precolonial America, this dynamic new graphic
novel evokes the end of a way of life against the backdrop
of territorial and amorous rivalries.
Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky was born in Oyonnax in eastern
France in 1987. He has published three graphic novels:
Canis Majoris, a personal account of the trials and tribulations of suicide; Ni Dieu Ni Maître (No God No Master);
and the very well-received Vaincus Mais Vivants (Con-

¡ No PasarÁn!
Writings from the Spanish Civil War
ed it ed by
Pete Ayrton
From the home front to the heat of battle, the first truly international Spanish Civil War anthology,
from acclaimed editor and publisher Pete Ayrton.
Praise for No Man’s Land:
“The real strength of No Man’s Land is the sheer diversity
of the voices it offers, especially those from fronts often
overlooked or considered peripheral.”
—The New York Times
“Superb. An impressive anthology that bears an extraordinary cargo of human experience.”
Hope, resignation, despair, humor, ruthlessness, compassion, generosity, and love inhabit Pete Ayrton’s anthology
of writings from the Spanish Civil War.
¡No Pasarán! corrects the balance: by far the largest contingent of its thirty-five writers are Spanish, including Luis
Buñuel, Manuel Rivas, Javier Cercas, Arturo Barea, Joan
Sales, and Chaves Nogales. The other writers offer contrasting perspectives of participants in the conflict from
America (among them John Dos Passos, Muriel Rukeyser,
and Langston Hughes), Italy (Curzio Malaparte and Leonardo Sciascia), France (Jean-Paul Sartre and André Malraux), Germany (Gustav Regler), Russian (Victor Serge),
Great Britain (including Arthur Koestler, George Orwell,
and Laurie Lee), Cuba, Argentina, and Mexico.
Acclaimed editor Pete Ayrton brings together hauntingly
vivid stories from a bitterly fought war. This is writing of a
high order that allows the reader to witness life from the
front lines of this momentous conflict.
Pete Ayrton was born in London in 1943. After a brief
period teaching philosophy, his work as a translator eventually led to his founding of Serpent’s Tail. No Man’s Land,

The hit BBC series Sherlock has introduced a whole new
generation of fans to Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary
detective. In this unique collection, Sherlock cocreators
Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have selected their all-time
favorite Sherlock Holmes adventures, providing readers a

Each of these nineteen tales, from Sherlock’s first appearance in A Study in Scarlet to the late classic The Dying
Detective, is a potent mix of murder, suspense, cryptic
clues, red herrings, and revenge—a groundbreaking combination of forensic science and bold storytelling. Sherlock
Holmes established new rules for what a fictional hero
could be, and provided a template for detective stories we
still follow today.
With introductions to each story by producers Steven

Holmes and the ultimate gift for fans of the show it inspired.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859.
He began his career as a doctor; it was while waiting for

Holmes, who soon attained international status and constantly distracted him from his other work; at one time
Conan Doyle killed him off, but was obliged by public

Watson, Holmes’s chronicler and companion in adventure, Conan Doyle produced not only a perfect foil for

The Drowning
A Novel
Camilla Läckberg
A new novel from a reclusive Fjallbacka resident has enraptured the community—
but what secrets and tragedies are lurking behind the pages and threatening to come to life?
“Another sweeping small-town Nordic thriller. It’s a thick
novel that should delight Läckberg’s fans with a rich cast
of characters and a surprise ending.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“The Drowning may be Läckberg’s finest work to date; it’s
a cold-as-steel chiller that will get deep under your skin
and threaten to stay there.”
—Bookreporter.com
“Readers who enjoy works by Stieg Larsson and Henning
Mankell are sure to like her novels. A pleasurably creepy
read. A cliffhanger ending will keep readers clamoring for
more of Läckberg’s books to be translated into English.”
—Shelf Awareness
Christian Thydell’s dream has come true: his debut novel,
The Mermaid, has been published to rave reviews. So why is
he as distant and unhappy as ever?
When crime writer Erica Falck, who helped Christian discover and develop his talents, learns he has been receiving
anonymous threats, she investigates not just the messages
but also the young author’s mysterious past. Then one of
Christian’s closest friends, Magnus, goes missing.
But with the victims themselves concealing evidence, the
investigation is going nowhere. Is their silence driven by
fear or guilt? And what is the secret they would rather die
to protect than live to see revealed?

The Lost Boy
A Novel
Camilla Läckberg
From the #1 international bestseller and Swedish crime sensation, Camilla Läckberg’s new
psychological thriller ensnares Detective Patrik Hedstrom in a confounding new murder case.
“Of the mini-Larssons who have arrived on these shores since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Camilla
Läckberg may be the best.” —USA Today

sorrowful, harrowing psychological thriller with a cliff-hanger conclusion.” —Booklist (starred)
“Haunting. Läckberg skillfully details how horrific secrets are never completely buried and how silence can
kill the soul.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Läckberg will keep you guessing.”
—People
Detective Patrik Hedstrom is no stranger to tragedy. A murder case concerning Fjällbacka’s dead financial
director, Mats Sverin, is a grim but useful distraction from his recent family misfortunes. It seems Sverin was
a man who everybody liked yet nobody really knew—a man with something to hide . . .
His high school sweetheart, Nathalie, has just returned to Fjällbacka with her five-year-old son—perhaps
she can shed some light on who Sverin really was?
However, Nathalie has her own secret. If it’s discovered, she will lose her only child. As the investigation
stalls, the police have many questions. But there is only one that matters: Is there anything a mother would
not do to protect her child?

The Constable’s Tale
A Novel
Donald Smith
Set in the tumultuous era that helped forge a nation, this riveting story takes a volunteer constable
through the wilds of colonial North Carolina to track down a shadowy killer.
“Donald Smith’s exceptional first novel is a revelatory
look at colonial America. In unmasking a villain, the
investigation also provides insights into the surprisingly

Diana Poole’s last movie was a flop, but she earned enough
money to fix up her Malibu house. One afternoon standing
outside it, she sees a woman across the highway waving at
her. Diana doesn’t recognize her. Still waving, the woman
walks into the oncoming cars and is killed instantly. Why
would anyone do that?
The next night, while still horrified by the accident, Diana
is held at gunpoint by a man demanding the dead woman’s
scorpion. What kind of scorpion? A live one? A brooch?
A pendant? Diana searches the accident scene and finds
a diamond-encrusted object in the shape of a scorpion.
Breathless, she remembers her movie-star mother showing
it to her the last time she saw her alive.
With the diamond-encrusted object as her only clue,
Diana goes on a heart-pounding journey, determined to find
answers. But asking a lot of questions can upset people.
Especially the unpredictable killer who is stalking her.

In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe
Classic Tales of Terror: 1816–1914
e d i t e d by
Leslie S. Klinger
A masterful collection of horror fiction by widely acclaimed authors whose contributions to the genre
have been lost in the shadow of Poe, by one of America’s foremost anthologists.
“A fascinating and largely unpredictable assortment of
stories drawn from decades following the peak of Poe’s
working life.”
—Open Letters Monthly
“Klinger mixes well-known and obscure authors in this solid
anthology of twenty tales of terror. A good introduction to
dark fiction of an earlier age.”
“What makes this volume distinctive are Klinger’s
annotations and footnotes. Klinger metaphorically shakes
the dust off the muslin, making antiquated writing styles
more accessible to the modern reader.”
—Diabolique Magazine
Edgar Allan Poe did not invent the tale of terror. There
were American, English, and European writers who preceded Poe and influenced his work—and many who were
in turn influenced by Poe’s genius and produced their
own popular tales of supernatural literature. This collection features masterful tales of terror by authors who
are little-remembered for their writing in this genre. Even
Bram Stoker, whose Dracula may be said to be the most
popular horror novel of all time, is not known as a writer
of short fiction.

In the Land of Giants
A Journey Through the Dark Ages
Max Adams
A cultural exploration of the Dark Age landscapes of Britain that poses a significant question:
Is the modern world simply the realization of our ancient past?
“Adams strikingly evokes the Dark Ages and reminds readers that the British landscape is dotted with far
more of its remains than most would suppose. The combination of history and travel writing is always
a difficult hybrid to master, but Adams has done so ably, creating a veritable gazetteer of the Land of
Giants for others to follow.” —The Literary Review
“Adams has succeeded in creating a bold account concerned with those timeless qualities that bind people
together across centuries.” —BBC History Magazine
“Beautifully written. An engaging and scholarly journey through Britain’s landscapes.”
—The Times Literary Supplement
The five centuries between the end of Roman Britain and the death of Alfred the Great have left few voices
save a handful of chroniclers, but Britain’s “Dark Ages” can still be explored through their material remnants: architecture, books, metalwork, and, above all, landscapes.
Max Adams explores Britain’s lost early medieval past by walking its paths and exploring its lasting
imprint on valley, hill, and field. From York to Whitby, from London to Sutton Hoo, from Edinburgh to Anglesey, and from Hadrian’s Wall to Loch Tay, each of his ten walking narratives form freestanding chapters
as well as parts of a wider portrait of a Britain of fort and fyrd, crypt and crannog, church and causeway,
holy well and memorial stone.
Part travelogue, part expert reconstruction, In the Land of Giants offers a beautifully written insight into
the lives of peasants, drengs, ceorls, thanes, monks, knights, and kings during an enigmatic but richly exciting period of Britain’s history.
Max Adams is the author of Admiral Collingwood, The Prometheans, and The King in the North, all published in Great Britain. This is his first book to be published in the United States. A university professor,
Max lives in the northeast of England.

From New York Times bestselling author P. J. Brackston comes the prequel to

“Clever and cute. A real charmer. A wonderful mystery

blending fantasy and whimsy with a touch of satire. Another
entertaining outing for those readers who like the idea of
mixing fractured fairy tales with a little mystery.” —Booklist
“P. J. Brackston has taken fairy tale characters, fleshed
them out with real-life experiences and human frailties

Edgar Allan Poe and
the London Monster
A Novel
Karen Lee Street
The famed writer and poet sails to London to engage the illustrious detective Auguste Dupin to
solve a Poe family mystery, in a stylish and brilliantly constructed debut novel.
Summer, 1840. Edgar Allan Poe sails from Philadelphia
to London to meet his friend C. Auguste Dupin, with the
hope that the great detective will help him solve a family
mystery. For Poe has inherited a mahogany box containing
a collection of letters allegedly written by his grandparents,
Elizabeth and Henry Arnold.
The Arnolds were actors who struggled to make a living
on the London stage, but the mysterious letters suggest
that the couple had a more clandestine and nefarious lifestyle, stalking well-to-do young women at night—with the
intent to slice their clothing and derrières.
Poe hopes to prove the missives forgeries; Dupin wonders
if perhaps they are real, but their content fantasy. Soon Poe
is being stalked by someone who knows far more about his
grandparents and their crimes than he does.
And then he remembers disturbing attacks made upon
him as a child in London—could the perpetrators be
connected?
Karen Lee Street was born in the United States but has lived
in London for most of her adult life. She recently moved to
Australia. Edgar Allan Poe and the London Monster is her
first novel.

Inside the World’s Most Secret State

An illuminating and often frightening investigation into the dark side of North Korean society.

visit inside North Korea.”

tragic stories about North Korea’s rulers and the bizarre

God’s Armies
Crusade and Jihad: Origins, History, Aftermath
Malcolm Lambert
With ramifications on contemporary geopolitics, ISIS, and the war on terror, a vivid chronicle of the
Christian and Islamic struggle to control the sacred places of Palestine and the Middle East.
Praise for Christians and Pagans:
“Lambert’s engaging and readable account weaves
archaeological and art-historical evidence with the literary
record.”
—BBC History Magazine
“Well-written and highly readable. A clear narrative of
what actually happened to Christians and Christianity
between the 3rd and 8th centuries.”
—The Tablet
“This complex story can be told well only by someone
with Lambert’s erudition. A useful and fascinating work.”
—Commonweal
Crusade and jihad are often thought to have represented
two sides of the same coin, taking opposing sides in the
holy wars of the Middle Ages—and now are often invoked
during the war on terror. A chronicle of the Christian and
Islamic struggle to control the sacred places of Palestine
and the Middle East between the 7th and 13th centuries,
this dynamic new history demonstrates that this simple
opposition ignores crucial differences.
Placing an equal emphasis on the inner histories of Christianity and Islam, the book traces the origins and development of crusade and jihad, showing for example that jihad
reflected internal tensions in Islam from its beginnings. The
narrative also reveals the ways in which crusade and jihad
were used to disguise ambitions for power and to justify
atrocity, and yet also inspired acts of great chivalry and
heroic achievement.

Echoes of Sherlock Holmes
Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon
e d i t e d by
LAURIE R. KING
and
leslie S. kLINGER
In a stunning follow-up to the acclaimed In the Company of Sherlock Holmes, Laurie R. King and
Leslie S. Klinger present a brand-new anthology of stories inspired by the Arthur Conan Doyle canon.
Praise for In the Company of Sherlock Holmes:
Winner of the 2015 Anthony Award for Best Anthology
“A sharp, affectionate, light-footed collection.”
—New York Times Book Review
“Conceived in fun, written in fun and edited in fun. For 127 years since his first case, Sherlock Holmes is still
entertaining us.” —Dallas Morning News
“A murderers’ row of talent, including bestselling authors not usually associated with Holmes and Watson.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Echoes of Sherlock Holmes puts forth the question: What happens when great writers (and creators) who
are not known as Sherlock Holmes devotees admit to being inspired by Conan Doyle stories? While some of
these talented authors are highly regarded mystery writers, others are best known for their work in the fields
of fantasy or science fiction. All of them, however, share a great admiration for Arthur Conan Doyle and his
greatest creations, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Some stories tell of Holmes himself (in Victorian Baker Street or modern New York, in various guises or a
different gender), while others explore various Conan Doyle characters. Although not a formal collection of
new Holmes stories (though some do fit that mold), these tales are inspired by the Conan Doyle canon. The
results are breathtaking—for longtime fans of Holmes and Watson, for readers new to Doyle’s writing, and
for all readers who love exceptional storytelling.
Featuring stories by Tasha Alexander, Cory Doctorow, Hallie Ephron, Meg Gardiner, William Kent Krueger,
Jonathan Maberry, Catriona McPherson, David Morrell, Anne Perry, Hank Phillippi Ryan, and more.
Laurie R. King is the New York Times bestselling author of numerous books, including the Mary RussellSherlock Holmes stories. She was inducted into the Baker Street Irregulars in 2010.
Leslie S. Klinger is one of the world’s foremost authorities on Sherlock Holmes. He is the editor of the threevolume set The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes. The first two volumes, The Complete Short Stories, won

Bosworth 1485
The Battle that Transformed England
Michael Jones
A lively and authoritative reinterpretation of the Battle of Bosworth Field, where the Wars of the
Roses ended and the Tudor dynasty began.
“An admirable, revisionist update on a widely misunderstood king.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A brilliant rethinking of Richard III. Anyone interested in
military history will appreciate this vivid and well-written
reconsideration of a major military encounter, while those
with an interest in the English monarchy will value this new
light cast on a notably dim figure.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
“A well-done reexamination of the conflict that truly altered
the course of history.”
—Booklist
On August 22, 1485, at Bosworth Field, Richard III fell, the
Wars of the Roses ended, and the Tudor dynasty began.
The clash is so significant because it marks the break
between medieval and modern; yet how much do we really
know about this historical landmark?
Michael Jones uses archival discoveries to show that
Richard III’s defeat was by no means inevitable and was
achieved only through extraordinary chance. He relocates
the battle away from the site recognized for more than five
hundred years.
With startling detail of Henry Tudor’s reliance on French
mercenaries, plus a new account of the battle itself, the
author turns Shakespeare on its head, painting an entirely

Kurosawa’s Rashomon
A Vanished City, a Lost Brother, and the Voice Inside His Most Iconic Films
Paul Anderer
Akira Kurosawa is one of cinema’s most enigmatic artists. Examining his dazzling films and
mysterious past, this new book provides a greater understanding of the director’s unique genius.
“The term ‘giant’ is used too often to describe artists. But
in the case of Akira Kurosawa, we have one of the rare
instances where the term fits.”
—Martin Scorsese
Despite his status as a global icon, Kurosawa’s life story
remains an enigma, and thus art imitates life with its own
“Rashomon” effect. First, there were his early years as a
painter and young socialist. Then there was his fiercely
intelligent and tormented older brother, Heido. And finally,
there is the epic narrative of 20th-century Japan’s rise and
fall. Kurosawa’s iconic film marks a turning point in world
cinema and allows us to probe the intricacies and conflicting details of Kurosawa’s life and times.
To discover the true Kurosawa, Paul Anderer guides us
through the ruins of a defeated country and a shattered
family. With fresh and insightful prose, Anderer brings
to life the dynamic energy of Tokyo in the 1920s and the
city’s impact on the young Kurosawa. He also resurrects
the specter of Kurosawa’s older brother, Heido, who took
Kurosawa to see his first films. Heido himself was a star
in the then-thriving silent film industry, leading a colorful,
rebellious life until his despairing, tragic end. Through it all,
Anderer brings these formative years into focus and looks
beyond the aura of Kurosawa’s enduring fame. Kurosawa’s
Rashomon promises to bring Kurosawa and his vivid, chal-
on the faculty at Columbia University. His work has won

novel is for those who crave more like Elizabeth Lord’s
The Chandelier Ballroom and Brendan Duffy’s House of
Echoes.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“A skillfully rendered mixture of ghost story and mystery
that draws on the spirits of du Maurier, Stephen King and—
in its depiction of a tormented family—Joyce Carol Oates.
Successfully melds the paranormal with the puzzle while
whetting the reader’s appetite for a third harrowing visit to
the manor.”
—Richmond Times-Dispatch
The spring of 1958 in southern Virginia was a seemingly
idyllic, even prosperous time.
A young housewife, Charlotte Bliss, lives with her husband, Hasbrouck Preston (Press) Bliss, and their two young
children, Eva Grace and Michael, in the gorgeous Bliss family home. On the surface, theirs seems a calm, picturesque
life, but soon tragedy befalls them: four tragic deaths, with
apparently simple explanations.

The Abandoned Heart
A Bliss House Novel
Laura Benedict
Three women. A cursed house. Generations of lives at stake. The third novel in the
acclaimed Bliss House series reveals the secret that started it all.
Praise for Laura Benedict’s Bliss House trilogy:
“Laura Benedict has written just the type of novel I love to
read: A ghost story replete with good and evil, the past and
present colliding, and compelling characters to root for. It is
a story that grabs you by the throat and heart and won’t let
go.”
—Erica Spindler, New York Times bestselling author
“A rare accomplishment: a novel that works as a mystery, a
ghost story, and a touching family drama. Laura Benedict
has written a thoughtful and compelling book.”
—Jeff Abbott, New York Times bestselling author
It’s 1899—the cusp of a new century—and Bliss House,
the proud creation of Randolph Hasbrouck Bliss, casts its
unsettling shadow over Old Gate, Virginia.
Now Randolph has a new wife, Lucy, a rebellious
daughter who defied her society family by marrying him in
secret. She’s made a blithe promise to him that she will give
him the legitimate son he has always wished for, without
understanding what it will cost her. Randolph is a man of
peculiar—even hellish—appetites that leave their mark on
everything and everyone around him.
This is especially true for Lucy and the other women
he has pulled into his orbit, promising them stability,
wealth, and freedom. Lucy soon comes to realize that she
is simply his latest conquest. There was the quiet, plain
Amelia and the very young and mysterious Kiku. Both
came to Bliss House long before Lucy, and left their own
marks. For Bliss House never forgets what happens within its
walls, and nothing that dies there can ever leave.

Death in Florence
The Medici, Savonarola, and the Battle for the Soul of a Renaissance City
Paul Strathern
Told in exhilarating fashion, Death in Florence recounts one of the defining moments in Western
history—the bloody and dramatic battle for the soul of Renaissance Florence.
“What stands out as much as anything here is the spark
and quality of Strathern’s writing, its wonderful ability to
combine the sweep of history with the intensely personal.
An engrossing narrative of power, corruption, and a vivid
portrait of a city in crisis.”
“This
massive,

mesmerizing,
detail-rich,
compulsive
narrative of the collision between silver and the soul will
keep you turning the pages like the most propulsive of
historical thrillers.”
—The Providence Journal
“De Medici alone is a fascinating and complicated figure,
and Strathern draws a finely shaded portrait of a man who
was both connoisseur of the arts and mob boss.”
—The Dallas Morning News
By the end of the fifteenth century, Florence was well
established as the home of the Renaissance. As patrons
to the likes of Botticelli and Michelangelo, the ruling
Medici embodied the progressive humanist spirit of the
age—and in Lorenzo de Medici they possessed a diplomat
capable of guarding the militarily weak city in a climate of
constantly shifting allegiances.
In Savonarola, an unprepossessing provincial monk,
Lorenzo found his nemesis. Filled with Old Testament

Murder by Candlelight
The Gruesome Crimes Behind Our Romance with the Macabre
Michael Knox Beran
Bringing to life the ghastly ambiance of a vanished epoch, Murder by Candlelight presents a
terrifying glimpse of the horror beneath the seeming civility of the Romantic era.
“Beran darts back to the 18th century and the arrival of
Gothic literature, to authors such as Walter Scott and
Coleridge, who used poetic language to convey the emotions of violence. Beyond such literary matters, Beran
dwells upon real-world murder cases and tells them with
vigor and brio.”
“A fascinating new book. Beran asks us to consider our
own hearts of darkness, why we’re obsessed with murder
stories, why this obsession matters, and what it suggests
about us as a culture and a species. Murder by Candlelight
is at once psychological thriller and philosophical meditation, murder mystery and literary analysis, written in elegant and pointed prose. In one skillfully wrought volume,
he cleverly feeds our appetite for horror even as he probes
this appetite.”
In the early 19th century, a series of murders took place
in and around London that shocked all of England. The
appalling nature of the crimes—a brutal slaying in the gambling netherworld, the slaughter of two entire households,
and the first of the modern lust-murders—was magnified
not only by the lurid atmosphere of an age in which candlelight gave way to gaslight, but also by the efforts of some
of the keenest minds of the period to uncover the most
gruesome details of the killings.
Interweaving these cultural vignettes alongside criminal
history, acclaimed author Michael Beran paints a vivid picture of a time when homicide was regarded as the intrusion
of the diabolic into ordinary life.

The Secret Life of Souls
A Novel
Jack Ketchum
and
Lucky M c Kee
A gripping family drama that brilliantly explores the relationship between a young girl and
her dog—and the mysteries that lie within.
Advance praise for The Secret Life of Souls:
“The Secret Life of Souls is a terrifying, can’t-put-it-down narrative of a family on the verge of disintegration. It’s also a classic, heart-tugging story of a girl and her dog. Feels like Matheson in his prime. Clean,
stripped-down writing, with an incredible pace. Jack Ketchum and Lucky McKee have written one hell of
a novel, one that speaks of all the things dogs mean to us. If you loved The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, as I
did, you’ll want to spend some time with Delia and Caity.”
—Stephen King
At the heart of this psychological suspense novel is the haunting depiction of a family’s fall and the extraordinary, gifted dog, Caity, who knows the truth. As the drama unfolds Caity evolves from protector to
savior, from scapegoat to prop, and eventually, from avenger to survivor. She is an unselfish soul in a selfish
world—and she is written with depth and grace by authors Ketchum and McKee, who display a profound
understanding of a dog’s complex emotions. With her telling instincts and her capacity for joy and transformative love, Caity joins the pantheon of great dogs in contemporary literature.
Eleven-year-old actress Delia Cross is beautiful, talented, charismatic. A true a star in the making. Her
days are a blur of hard work on set, auditions, and tutors. Her family—driven, pill-popping stage mother
Pat, wastrel dad Bart, and introverted twin brother Robbie—depends on her for their upscale lifestyle. Delia
in turn depends on Caity, her beloved ginger Queensland Heeler—and loyal friend—for the calming private
space they share. Delia is on the verge of a professional breakthrough. But just as the contracts are about
to be signed, there is a freak accident that puts Delia in the danger zone with only Caity to protect her.
Jack Ketchum has published twelve novels and several short story collections. He has won numerous
Bram Stoker awards, and four of his books were recently made into movies: The Lost, The Girl Next Door,
Red, and Offspring. He lives in New York City.
Lucky McKee wrote and directed the cult favorite film May, which in turn got him selected to write and
direct an episode (Sick Girl) in the first season of Showtime’s Masters of Horror series, alongside such
directors as Tobe Hooper, Dario Argento, Joe Dante, John Landis, and John Carpenter.

Scotland’s Last Battle and the Forging of the British Empire

An invigorating and authoritative history of the last major battle fought between Scottish and English

“Trevor Royle’s achievement is to have skillfully encompassed and explained the complexities of his subject in a

“Trevor Royle, a very well-respected military historian, has

“Thorough and informative, this scholarly book will interest
readers of history and military history alike; it also stands
as the definitive treatment of the Crimean War.”
“A well-written, thorough study of what can be considered
the first modern war.”
The Battle of Culloden in 1746 has gone down in history as
the last major battle fought on British soil: a vicious confrontation between the English Royal Army and the Scottish forces supporting the Stuart claim to the throne. But this
wasn’t just a conflict between the Scots and the English: the
battle was also part of a much larger campaign to protect
the British Isles from the growing threat of a French invasion.

The Thieves of Threadneedle Street
The Incredible True Story of the American Forgers Who Nearly Broke the Bank of England Nicholas Booth
The greatest untold crime saga of the Victorian Era: the extraordinary true story of four American
forgers who tried to steal five million dollars from the Bank of England.
Praise for Nicholas Booth’s Zigzag:
“This cinematic tale of World War II espionage is a one
man spy-versus-spy thriller. A first-rate text with Hitchcockian contortions.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A review cannot possibly convey the sheer fun of this
story. Or the fascinating moral complexities.”
In the summer of 1873, four American forgers went on
trial at the Old Bailey for the greatest fraud the world had
ever seen: the attempted theft of five million dollars from
the Bank of England. In The Thieves of Threadneedle
Street, Nicholas Booth tells the extraordinary true story
of the forgers’ earliest escapades, culminating in the heist
at the world’s leading financial institution. At the heart of
the story is the charming criminal genius Austin Bidwell
who, on the brink of escaping with his fortune, saw his
luck finally run out.
There were double crosses and miraculous escapes.
There were chases across rural Ireland, through Scottish cities, across the Atlantic on ships heading toward
Manhattan. Hot on their trail was William Pinkerton,
“the greatest detective in America,” scion of the famous
detective agency. With its cast of improbable villains,
curious coincidences, and extraordinary adventures, this
astounding international caper often defies belief. Nicholas Booth, with access to previously unopened archives,
has unearthed the greatest untold crime saga of the Victorian Era.

King John
Treachery and Tyranny in Medieval England: The Road to Magna Carta
Marc Morris
A rousing and significant new biography of the notorious King John, by Wall Street Journal
bestselling author Marc Morris.
“A relentless succession of intrigues, quarrels, battles,
sieges, negotiations, truces, and betrayals illuminated by
lucid writing.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“In lively, cultured prose, Morris investigates the complex
road to the signing of the Magna Carta in June of 1215. Full
of fascinating details, with the added bonus of a translation of the full Magna Carta.”
“Outstanding among recent studies of John’s reign. Brilliant.
Good, old-fashioned political biography, but biography
done with panache. This is by far the best general book
on the monarch’s reign since W. L. Warren’s trailblazing
biography, King John, written in 1961.”
—BBC History Magazine
If readers are not already familiar with King John as the
tyrant whose misgovernment gave rise to Magna Carta, we
remember him as the villain in the stories of Robin Hood.
Formidable and cunning, but also cruel, lecherous,
treacherous, and untrusting, John was regarded as a powerful king within the British Isles. But despite this immense
success, when he finally crossed to France to recover his
lost empire, he was met with disaster. John returned home
penniless to face a tide of criticism about his unjust rule.

The result was Magna Carta—a groundbreaking document
in posterity, but a worthless piece of parchment in 1215,
since John had no intention of honoring it.
As in all great tragedies, the world can only be put to
rights by the tyrant’s death. John finally obliges at Newark
Castle in October 1216, dying of dysentery as a great gale
howls up the valley of the Trent.

Crown of Blood
The Deadly Inheritance of Lady Jane Grey
Nicola Tallis
A significant retelling of the tragic tale of Lady Jane Grey’s journey through her trial for treason—recalling the
dangerous plots and webs of deadly intrigue—which ultimately led to a catastrophic conclusion.
“Good people, I am come hither to die, and by a law I am
condemned to the same.” These were the heartbreaking
words of a seventeen-year-old girl, Lady Jane Grey, as
she stood on the scaffold awaiting death on a cold
February morning in 1554. Minutes later her head was
struck from her body with a single stroke of a heavy axe.
Her death for high treason sent shockwaves through the
Tudor world and served as a gruesome reminder to all
who aspired to a crown that the axe could fall at any
time.
Jane is known to history as “the Nine Days Queen,” but
her reign lasted, in fact, for thirteen days. The human and
emotional aspects of her story have often been ignored,
although she is remembered as one of the Tudor era’s most
tragic victims. While this is doubtless true, it is only part of
the complex jigsaw of Jane’s story.
Crown of Blood is an important and significant retelling
of an often misunderstood tale: set at the time of Jane’s
downfall and following her journey through to her trial
and execution, each chapter moves between the past and
the “present,” using a rich abundance of primary source
material (some of which has never been published) in
order to paint a vivid picture of Jane’s short and turbulent
life.
Nicola Tallis achieved a first-class bachelor’s degree with
honors in history from Bath Spa University. She also has
an MA in public history from Royal Holloway College,
University of London. Nicola has been passionate about
English history all of her life, and has worked as a curator,
lecturer, and historical researcher. She is currently the
resident historian for Alison Weir Tours. Crown of Blood,

In Sunlight or In Shadow
Stories Inspired by the Paintings of Edward Hopper
e d i t e d by
Lawrence Block
A truly unprecedented literary achievement by Lawrence Block, a newlycommissioned anthology
of seventeen superbly crafted stories inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper—including
Jeffery Deaver, Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, Lee Child, and Robert Olen Butler.
Praise for Lawrence Block:
“There is only one writer of mystery and detective fiction who comes close to replacing the irreplaceable
John D. MacDonald. The writer is Lawrence Block.” —Stephen King
“Lawrence Block is a master of crime fiction.”
—Jonathan Kellerman
“Edward Hopper is surely the greatest American narrative painter. His work bears special resonance for
writers and readers, and yet his paintings never tell a story so much as they invite viewers to find for
themselves the untold stories within.”
So says Lawrence Block, who has invited seventeen outstanding writers to join him in an unprecedented
anthology of brand-new stories: In Sunlight or In Shadow. The results are remarkable and range across all
genres, wedding literary excellence to storytelling savvy.
Contributors include Stephen King, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Olen Butler, Michael Connelly, Megan
Abbott, Craig Ferguson, Nicholas Christopher, Jill D. Block, Joe R. Lansdale, Spider Robinson, Kristine
Kathryn Rusch, Warren Moore, Jonathan Santlofer, Jeffery Deaver, Lee Child, and Lawrence Block himself.
Even Gail Levin, Hopper’s biographer and compiler of his catalogue raisonné, appears with her own first
work of fiction, providing a true account of art theft on a grand scale and told in the voice of the country
preacher who perpetrated the crime.
In a beautifully produced anthology, as befits such a collection of acclaimed authors, each story is illustrated with a quality full-color reproduction of the painting that inspired it.
Lawrence Block has been writing award-winning mystery and suspense fiction for half a century. His newest
book is The Girl with the Deep Blue Eyes. His other recent novels include The Burglar Who Counted the
Spoons, Hit Me, and A Drop of the Hard Stuff, featuring Matthew Scudder, brilliantly embodied by Liam
Neeson in the new film, A Walk Among The Tombstones. His dozen previous anthologies include Manhattan
Noir, Manhattan Noir 2, and Dark City Lights. He lives in New York.

Perfume
A Century of Scents
lizzie ostrom
Signature scents and lost masterpieces; the visionaries who conceived them;
and the women and men who wore them—every perfume has a tale to tell.
“Beautifully written and sumptuous. Will make a perfect
gift.”
—Stylist
“An entertaining romp through a century of perfumes. This
book is as delectable an artifact as the product it describes:
the perfect accompaniment to a bottle of J’Adore.”
—The Independent
“A wonderful, well-informed read. Charming and illuminating.”
—The Spectator
Join Lizzie Ostrom on an olfactory adventure as she
explores the trends and crazes that have shaped the way
we’ve spritzed. One hundred perfumes and scents in all
their fragrant glory reveal a fascinating social history of the
past century. From the belle epoque through the swinging
’60s, to the naughty ’90s and beyond, Ostrom brings intelligence and wit to this most ravishing of subjects.
There was the patriotic impact of English Lavender during
World War I, and perfumes that captured the Egyptomania

distilled the essence of 1950s suburbia. Patchouli oil—the

Hemingway at War
Ernest Hemingway’s Adventures as a World War II Correspondent
terry mort
From the drama of D-Day and the French Resistance to the tragedy of Huertgen Forest and the
liberation of Paris, the story of Ernest Hemingway’s adventures in journalism during World War II.
Praise for Terry Mort:
“Mort’s lucid, beautifully written books are a pleasure to
read.”
“Well researched and well written, Mort reveals a compelling true story of flawed characters, poor judgment, and
sweeping historical forces.”
—Tucson Citizen
“A riveting account. Mort is especially insightful.”
In the spring of 1944, Hemingway traveled to London and
then to France to cover World War II for Colliers magazine.
He flew missions with the RAF (in part to gather
material for a novel); he went on a landing craft on
Omaha Beach on D-Day; he went on to involve himself
in the French Resistance forces in France; and famously
rode into the still dangerous streets of liberated Paris.
And he was at the German Siegfried line for the
horrendous killing ground of the Huertgen Forest, in
which his favored 22nd Regiment lost nearly every man
they sent into the fight. After that tragedy, it came to be
argued, he was never the same.
This invigorating narrative is also, in a parallel fashion,
an investigation into Hemingway’s subsequent work—
much of it stemming from his wartime experience—which
shaped the latter stages of his career in remarkable
fashion.
Terry Mort attended Princeton University, followed by graduate school at the University of Michigan. Afterward he

Sacrifice
A Celtic Adventure
philip freeman
In a time when Celtic druids roamed ancient Ireland, young Sister Deirdre rushes to hunt down the
brutal serial killer targeting her beloved monastery.
“Freeman’s depiction of the growing clash between
two religious traditions provides a vivid and compelling
background to this fictional tale.”
—Foreword Reviews
“In this worthy successor to Freeman’s debut historical
mystery set in 6th-century Ireland, the body of a murdered
nun is found in a bog, and swiftly thereafter a second nun,
decapitated and hung from a tree, is discovered. The plot
is well paced and the mystery deeper than it first appears.”

“In a fascinating look into the world of druids and Christians

The Hollow Men
A Novel
Rob M c Carthy
Police surgeon Harry Kent is determined to help those the world would rather brush aside, in an
electrifying new crime series evoking the medical world of the London Metropolitan Police.
Advance praise from Mulholland Books UK:
“ The Hollow Men gripped me from the first page. It’s a
perfect blend of thriller and investigative fiction.”
—Ruth Tross, Mulholland senior editor
“An astonishing debut that combines pace, excitement,
and technical know-how in one relentless package. It is not
just a medical drama—it is a human drama.”
—Kerry Hood, publicity director
“The minute you meet Harry Kent, you know your life
is going to get more interesting. All the ingredients of a
classic crime story, told in a bright new voice.”
—Nick Sayers, associate publisher
Dr. Harry Kent likes to keep himself busy—juggling hospital
duties with his work as a police surgeon for the London
Metropolitan Police—anything to ward off the memories of
his time as an army medic.
Usually police work means minor injuries and mental
health assessments. But teenager Solomon Idris’s case is different. Idris has taken eight people hostage in a restaurant,
and is demanding to see a lawyer and a BBC reporter. Harry
is sent in to treat the clearly ill teenager—before the siege
goes horribly wrong.
When Solomon’s life is put in danger again at a critical
care ward, it becomes clear he knows something people
will kill to protect. Determined to uncover the secret that
drove the boy to such desperate action, Harry soon realizes
that someone in the medical world, someone he may even
know, has broken the doctors’ commandment to “do no

The French Revolution
From Enlightenment to Tyranny
Ian Davidson
A vital and intelligent look at this profoundly important (and often perplexing) historical moment,
by former Financial Times chief foreign affairs columnist Ian Davidson.
Praise for Voltaire:
“Davidson has done an admirable job. Voltaire emerges from the story as a champion of civil liberties whose
flaws were decidedly human.” —Publishers Weekly
“A compelling read. An insightful and entertaining picture of the man.”
—The Guardian
“Ian Davidson has done him full justice in this rich biography. He hides nothing of his hero’s frailties and
faults, but his greatness shines all the more brightly.” —Allan Massie
“There is no shortage of biographies of Voltaire, but this is one of the best of them. Full of the revealing
detail that French biographers tend to regard as vulgar gossip.” —The Financial Times
“Davidson is a fastidious debunker of myths and restorer of balance. He tells his story from beginning to
end, with an elegant lucidity, and you learn all you need to know about Voltaire in readable and intelligent
form.” —The Spectator
The French Revolution casts a long shadow, one that reaches into our own time and influences our debates
on freedom, equality, and authority. Yet it remains an elusive, perplexing historical event. Its significance
morphs according to the sympathies of the viewer, who may see it as a series of gory tableaux, a regrettable
slide into uncontrolled anarchy—or a radical reshaping of the political landscape.
In this riveting new book, Ian Davidson provides a fresh look at this vital moment in European history. He
reveals how it was an immensely complicated and multifaceted revolution, taking place in different places,
at different times, and in different spheres; and how subsequently it became weighted with political, social,
and moral values. Stirring and dramatic—and filled with the larger-than-life players of the period, and evoking the turbulence of this colorful time—this is narrative history at its finest.
After graduating in classics from Cambridge, Ian Davidson worked for the Financial Times for many years
as their Paris correspondent and chief foreign affairs columnist. He is also the author of Voltaire (Pegasus)
and Voltaire in Exile (Grove). Ian lives in England.

Beyond the walls of Fukuoka Prison, World War II rages. Inside, a man is found brutally murdered.
What follows is a searing portrait of Korea and a testimony to the redemptive power of poetry.
“A rollicking good mystery tale. It is also a volume of poetry,
with heartbreaking verses of love and loss set against the

The King is Dead
The Last Will and Testament of Henry VIII
Suzannah Lipscomb
An insightful and elegant examination of Henry VIII’s last will and testament that evokes the
glittering world of the Tudor king in all its glory, pomp, and paranoia.
Praise for A Journey Through Tudor England:
“A genuinely useful and discriminating guide for all Tudor
fans. Full of fascinating true stories. It helps us see the
world as the Tudors must have seen it.”
—Hilary Mantel, Man Booker Prize–winning
author of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies
“A lively and expert guide through bloody Tudor history.”
—Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Lipscomb adds something new and different to the growing list of books on Tudor England.”
On January 28, 1547, the sickly and obese King Henry VIII
died at Whitehall. Just hours before his passing, his last
will and testament had been read, stamped, and sealed.
The document confirmed the line of succession as Edward;
Mary; and Elizabeth—and, following them, the Grey and
Suffolk families. It also listed bequests to the king’s most
trusted counselors and servants.
Henry’s will is one of the most intriguing and contested
documents in British history. Historians have disagreed
over its intended meaning, its authenticity and validity,
and the circumstances of its creation. As well as examining
the background to the drafting of the will and describing
Henry’s last days, Suzannah Lipscomb offers her own illuminating interpretation of one of the most significant constitutional documents of the Tudor period.
Illustrated with color portraits of the key figures at Henry’s court, The King is Dead is a bold Tudor history as evocative as it is beautiful.

Derek haas
From acclaimed author and screenwriter Derek Haas comes a unique and thrilling twist on
a family story—what happens when an elite assassin becomes a father?
“Haas builds characters who are complicated, memorable,
and sharply drawn. His spare, lean prose wastes no words.
An unflinching little gem of a story: violent, dark, and unrelentingly entertaining.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Columbus’s charm and dark humor offer a refreshing
break from the sociopathic assassin mold, and Haas’s gutwrenching tale moves at breakneck speed. Pairs nicely with
Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter series.”
—Booklist
“From the very first lines we are pulled into a forceful
emotional storm. Perhaps the best news is that Haas leaves
Columbus’s door wide open, so we can look forward to more
adventures.”
—Bookgasm
Now a new father, the infamous Silver Bear finds himself
staying up late to give a bottle and help with the child—
all while leading the double life of a contract killer. The
struggle is not with his conscience. He enjoys his gig. But
his new situation forces him to weigh selfishness versus
safety. If he continues in this line of work, he’ll always
wonder if he’s putting his child’s life at risk.
When the next assignment comes, both Columbus and his
partner Risina are surprised to find that the mark is another
assassin: a brash, young man named Castillo. An assassin

A Want of Kindness
A Novel
Joanne Limburg
Set in the glittering Restoration court, the story of the expendable Princess Anne on her unlikely
road to becoming queen, through the religion, politics, deceit, and treachery of the time.
Praise for Joanne Limburg:
“Limburg brings insight and a rueful wit to her story. This
talented and thoughtful young woman must be braver
than she imagines, to step into the fiery circus where the
modern writer performs her tricks.”
—Hilary Mantel, The Guardian
“An elegant, clever novel.”
—The Daily Express
“Brave, witty, intelligent, wise. Her unremitting candor liberates us all.”
—Raymond Tallis
“Limburg is a talented writer and poet and her story is
revealing, honest, and thought-provoking.”
—Time Out (London)
The wicked, bawdy Restoration court is no place for a child
princess. Ten-year-old Princess Anne cuts an odd figure: a
sickly child, she is drawn toward improper pursuits. Cards,
sweetmeats, scandal, and gossip with her Ladies of the
Bedchamber figure large in her life. But as King Charles’s
niece, Anne is also a political pawn who will be forced to
play her part in the troubled Stuart dynasty.
Transformed from overlooked princess to the heiress of
England, she will be forced to overcome grief for her lost
children, the political maneuverings of her sister and her
closest friends—and her own betrayal of her father—before
the fullness of her destiny is revealed. In A Want of Kind-
ness, Limburg has created a richly realized time and world,
and in Anne a complex and all-too-human protagonist.

Dolly and his fellow drag queens from the Pink Parrot perform at the Halloween Parade when their float explodes.
Suspecting foul play, the Pink Parrot’s owner, Big Mamma,
hires Kat to find the culprit.
Meanwhile, Kat has not given up on her quest to bring
gangster Salvatore Magrelli to justice and once more dons
a disguise to infiltrate the Skyview, an exclusive club run
by his wife, Eva. When she watches the club’s poker dealer
drop dead during a high-stakes game, she decides to look
into his death as well. Upon discovering that he was also
gay, she suspects that this murder could be a hate crime
connected to the parade explosion.

The Highland Bookshop Mystery Series: Book 1
molly m ac r a e
The Inversgail Literature Festival in Scotland is just about to begin when a shocking murder
temporarily turns the owners of the new Highland Bookshop into amateur detectives.
Praise for the Haunted Yarn Shop Mystery Series:
“MacRae writes with familiarity, wit, and charm.”
—Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine
“Murder with a dose of drollery.”
—Boston Globe
“A fun series and a fantastic whodunit.”
—Cozy Mystery Book Review
Set in the weeks just before the annual Inversgail Literature Festival in Scotland, Plaid and Plagiarism begins on
a morning shortly after the four new owners have taken
possession of their new bookshop in the Highlands. Unfortunately, Janet Marsh’s move into her house has been
delayed due to vandalism; she’s convinced the vandal
is Una Graham, an advice columnist for the local paper
who’s trying to make a name for herself as an investigative
reporter.
Then some nasty letters are discovered behind the bookshop, which explain in minute detail how and when each
of the recipients hurt Una. The more the women find out
about Una, the more people they discover who detested
her. If Janet and her bookshop friends are reading the clues
right, they’re about to expose the most sensational story
the town of Inversgail has ever heard.
A delightful and deadly novel about recognizing
strengths, accepting weaknesses, and finding a way to
be true to oneself, Plaid and Plagiarism is the start of an
enthralling new Scottish mystery series.

A Year of Reading, Collecting, and Living with Books
Michael dirda
From Pulitzer Prize–winning book critic Michael Dirda comes a collection of his most personal
and engaging essays on the literary life—the perfect companion for any lover of books.
“A rambunctious personality wanders the aisles of rare-book stores; musing about language, aging, and
traffic; and catching up with fellow aficionados of the weird and the obscure. The innumerable forgotten
books he catalogs are captivating.” —The New York Times
“Smart but not stuffy, critical but not carping, self-engaged but not self-absorbed. Dirda’s intellect is a
brightly populated curio cabinet, containing topics as varied as Samuel Johnson’s cat, the art of the perfect
book title, the decline of penmanship, and the distress of writer’s block.” —The Wall Street Journal
“A set of appealingly conversational meditations on the life of the mind. The author’s personality is so vivid
and immediate that a readerly rapport is established almost instantly. A hale and friendly exploration of
shared enthusiasm.” —The Washington Post
Pulitzer Prize–winning critic Michael Dirda has been hailed as “the best-read person in America” (The Paris
Review) and “the best book critic in America” (The New York Observer ). His latest volume collects fifty of
his witty and wide-ranging reflections on a life in literature.
Reaching from the classics to the postmoderns, his allusions dance from Samuel Johnson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and M.F.K. Fisher to Marilynne Robinson, Hunter S. Thompson, and David Foster Wallace. Dirda’s topics
are equally diverse: literary pets, the lost art of cursive writing, book inscriptions, the pleasures of science fiction
conventions, author photographs, novelists in old age, a year in Marseille, writer’s block, and much more.
Funny and erudite, Browsings is a celebration of the reading life, a fan’s notes, and the perfect gift for any
book lover.
Michael Dirda is a Pulitzer Prize–winning critic and longtime book columnist for the Washington Post.
He was once chosen by Washingtonian magazine as one of the twenty-five smartest people in our
nation’s capital (but, as Michael says, you have to consider the competition). He also writes regularly
for the Times Literary Supplement, the New York Review of Books, and other literary journals. His
previous publications include the memoir An Open Book, Readings, Bound to Please, Book by Book,
Classics for Pleasure, and On Conan Doyle, for which he won an Edgar Award. A lifelong Conan Doyle
fan, he is a member of the Baker Street Irregulars. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland.
