Island on Fire The Extraordinary Story of a Forgotten Volcano that Covered a Continent in Darkness Alexandra Witze and Jeff Kanipe Can a single explosion change the course of history? An eruption at the end of the 18th century led to a year without summer while igniting famine, disease, even revolution “A volcanic tour de force. Terrific storytelling that reveals our vulnerability to nature’s most destructive forces.” —Nick Crane, BBC “A terrific, disturbing book. In their fast-paced, enjoyable text the authors show how vulnerable we remain to the most unpredictable of natural disasters.” —Gillian Darley, author of Vesuvius “A story for the ages. But beneath the barrage of devastation lies an even more profound story: why do we forget these dangers?” —Dr. Lindy Elkins-Tanton, Carnegie Institution for Science Laki is Iceland’s largest volcano. Its eruption in 1783 is one of history’s great, untold natural disasters. Spewing out sun-blocking ash and then a poisonous fog for eight long months, the effects of the eruption lingered across the world for years. It caused the deaths of people as far away as the Nile and created catastrophic conditions throughout Europe. Island on Fire is the story not only of a single eruption but the people whose lives it changed, the dawn of modern volcanology, as well as the history—and potential—of other super-volcanoes like Laki around the world.

Kasasian The first in a charming, evocative, and sharply plotted Victorian crime series that is “a deft blend of accuracy and frivolity, sure to please lovers of historical mysteries.” (Shelf Awareness) “Kasasian’s sparkling debut introduces a memorable new detective duo. Their clever sparring, the appealing secondary characters, and an ingenious plot bode well for future installments.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Kasasian’s debut is an unflinching look at the darker side of Victorian London and a portrait of a heroine strong enough to stand up to a thoroughly disagreeable detective. Clever plotting, morbid humor, and colorful characters are a great treat.” —Kirkus Reviews “One of the most delightful and original new novels of the year—the first in a series that could well become a cult.” —The Daily Mail After her father dies, March Middleton has to move to London to live with her guardian, Sidney Grice, the country’s most famous private detective. It is 1882 and London is at its murkiest yet most vibrant, wealthiest yet most poverty-stricken. No sooner does March arrive than a case presents itself: a young woman has been brutally murdered, and her husband is the only suspect. The victim’s mother is convinced of her son-in-law’s innocence, and March is so touched by her pleas that she offers to cover Sidney’s fee herself. $14.95 | Trade Paper Territory: U.S. (X) ISBN 978-1-60598-668-5 (Prev Ed ISBN 978-1-60598-539-8) 5½ x 8¼ | 320 pages | CQ 16 Mystery january The investigations lead the pair to the darkest alleys of the East End: every twist leads Sidney Grice to think his client is guilty, but March is convinced that he is innocent.

Kasasian The much-anticipated second novel in a charming, sharply plotted Victorian crime series starring a detective duo to rival Holmes and Watson. Praise for The Mangle Street Murders: “Kasasian’s debut is an unflinching look at the darker side of Victorian London and a portrait of a heroine strong enough to stand up to a thoroughly disagreeable detective. Clever plotting, morbid humor, and colorful characters are a great treat.” —Kirkus Reviews “A fast-paced, witty book. Although the parallels are unmistakable, Grice and Middleton are refreshingly different from Holmes and Watson.” —Shelf Awareness “One of the most delightful and original new novels of the year—the first in a series that could well become a cult.” —The Daily Mail 125 Gower Street, 1882.

J. Brackston From the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch’s Daughter comes the story of Gretel, all grown up and investigating the disappearance of Albrecht Dürer’s treasured Frog Prints. Praise for P. J. Brackston: “It’s almost impossible not to root for the underdog in this magical twist on the classic David vs. Goliath tale.” —Marie Claire “There’s a whiff of Harry Potter in the witchy conflict—a battle between undeveloped young magical talent and old malevolence—at the heart of this sprightly tale of spells and romance.” —Kirkus Reviews “Brackston delivers an intimate paranormal romance that grounds its fantasy in the reality of a 19th century Welsh farm.” —Publishers Weekly “Brackston’s first novel offers well-crafted characters in an absorbing plot and an altogether delicious blend of historical fiction and fantasy.” —Booklist “A sensitive, beautifully written account. If the Brontë sisters had penned magical realism, this would have been the result.” —The Guardian Bavaria, 1776. When Albrecht Dürer the Much Much Younger’s Frog Prints go missing, he knows exactly where to turn for help. Gretel (yes, that Gretel), now thirty-five and still living with her gluttonous brother Hans, is the country’s most famous private investigator, and she leaps at the opportunity to travel to cosmopolitan Nuremberg to take on the case. But amid the hubbub of the city’s annual sausage festival, Gretel struggles to find any clues that point toward the elusive thief. Even with the aid of the chatty mice living under her bed, the absent prints remain stubbornly out of view, and Gretel is forced to get creative in her search for the truth. P. J.

Cultural history with some attitude and considerable rhythm and melody.” —Kirkus Reviews Music is an intrinsic part of everyday life, and yet the history of its development from single notes to multi-layered orchestration can seem bewilderingly complex.

He wonders why he’s never found a great woman, he’s got to cut back on cigarettes, and he should probably figure out who killed that wealthy older lady in her 17th-century villa.” —The New York Times “Vichi’s stellar first in a new mystery series delivers a plausible solution worthy of a golden age crime novel.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review on Death in August) “Vichi shows us ever more secret and dark sides to an otherwise sunny city. But his happiest creation, in my opinion, remains the character of Inspector Bordelli.” —Andrea Camilleri “Straight from the city that brought us da Vinci and Dante, Vichi is on a par with writers like Henning Mankell and Elizabeth George who have elevated the police procedural to a work of art.” —Shelf Awareness (starred review) Florence, 1965.

Oswald de Lacy was never meant to be the Lord of Somerhill Manor. Dispatched to a monastery at the age of seven, sent back at seventeen when his father and two older brothers are killed by the plague, Oswald has no experience of running an estate. Upon his return to the manor, he finds that the years of pestilence and neglect have changed the old place dramatically, not to mention the attitude of the surviving peasants. Yet some things never change. Oswald’s mother remains the powerful matriarch of the family, and his sister Clemence simmers in the background, dangerous and unmarried. Before he can do anything, Oswald is confronted by the shocking death of a young woman, Alison Starvecrow. The ambitious village priest claims that Alison was killed by a band of demonic dog-headed men. Oswald is certain this is nonsense, but proving it—by finding the real murderer—is quite a different matter. Every step he takes seems to lead Oswald deeper into a dark maze of political intrigue, family secrets, and violent strife. And then the body of another girl is found. Sarah Sykes brilliantly evokes the landscape and people of medieval England in this thrillingly suspenseful debut. Sarah Sykes received her MA from Sheffield Hallam in England. She attended the novel writing course at Curtis Brown, where she was inspired to write Plague Land.

Keynes and the Reshaping of the Global Economy Ed Conway A brilliant narrative history of the most colorful and important economic summit in history— held during the height of World War II. “Brimming with the sort of vivid details that make the past come alive, The Summit is both an impressive work of scholarship and an absolute delight to read.” —Liaquat Ahamed, author of Lords of Finance “Who would have thought that an account of an economic summit could be so absorbing? But it was no ordinary summit and Ed Conway’s is an exceptional account.” —Evan Davis, author of Made in Britain “Brilliantly researched, and hugely entertaining, this is an essential book about one of the most important economic events of the twentieth century.” —Keith Lowe, author of Savage Continent The idea of world leaders gathering in the midst of economic crisis is now familiar. But 1944’s meeting at Bretton Woods was different. It was the only time countries agreed to overhaul the structure of the international monetary system. Their resulting system presided over the longest period of growth in history. Its demise decades later was at least partly responsible for the financial collapse of the 2000s. The heart of the conference was the love-hate relationship between John Maynard Keynes—the greatest economist of his day, who suffered a heart attack at the conference—and his American counterpart Harry Dexter White (later revealed to be passing information to Russian spies). Both were intent on creating a settlement which would prevent another war while at the same time defending their countries’ interests. Drawing on unpublished accounts, diaries, and oral histories, The Summit describes the conference in stunning color and clarity.

Advance Praise from England: “A splendid example of the genre. An excellent, readable account of his reign.” “Marc Morris is historical biography’s newest star.” —The Literary Review —The Bookseller “Uncommonly good. Edward was a remarkable man, and a great king. Marc Morris does him justice. It’s compelling stuff.” —Allan Massie, bestselling author of The Royal Stuarts “The title of Marc Morris’ book is apt. No king of England had a greater impact on the peoples of Britain than Edward I. Morris has succeeded in writing a book for today.” —The Times Literary Supplement Edward I is familiar to millions as “Longshanks,” conqueror of Scotland and nemesis of Sir William Wallace (in “Braveheart”). Yet this story forms only the final chapter of the king’s action-packed life. Earlier, Edward had defeated and killed the famous Simon de Montfort in battle; traveled to the Holy Land; conquered Wales, extinguishing forever its native rulers and constructing a magnificent chain of castles. He raised the greatest armies of the Middle Ages and summoned the largest parliaments; notoriously, he expelled all the Jews from his kingdom. The longest-lived of England’s medieval kings, he fathered fifteen children with his first wife, Eleanor of Castile, and, after her death, he erected the Eleanor Crosses—the grandest funeral monuments ever fashioned for an English monarch. In this book, Marc Morris examines afresh the forces that drove Edward throughout his relentless career: his character, his Christian faith, and his sense of England’s destiny—a sense shaped in particular by the tales of the legendary King Arthur. He also explores the competing reasons that led Edward’s opponents (including Robert Bruce) to resist him. The result is a sweeping story, immaculately researched yet compellingly told, and a vivid picture of medieval Britain at the moment when its future was decided. Marc Morris, Ph.D., is an historian and broadcaster specializing in the Middle Ages. His previous book, The Norman Conquest, was a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller. He is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and lives in England. • • • • National review at tention Librar y marketing Advance reading copies Co - op available $29.95 U.S. | Hardcover Territory: U.S. (X) ISBN 978-1-60598-684-5 6 x 9 | 480 pages | CQ 12 16 pages of color and B&W illustrations History march 23 Earthquake Storms The Fascinating History and Volatile Future of the San Andreas Fault John Dvorak The lives of millions will be changed after it breaks, and yet so few people understand the San Andreas Fault, or even realize it runs through their back yard. “Dvorak has done earthquake science sterling service by writing what is unarguably the best, the most comprehensive and compellingly readable book about the great fault, America’s 800 mile long seismic danger zone, that will one day affect all of our lives.” —Simon Winchester, New York Times bestselling author of The Crack at the Edge of the World “It’s not just Californians who should pay attention to Dvorak’s exploration of earthquake science.

Convincing.” —Seattle Times “In this nuanced book, Roffman’s personal story intertwines with the raucous, contradictory history of cannabis since the 1960s. His refreshing insistence on acknowledging the complicated truth about marijuana may provoke both potlovers and prohibitionists to question their assumptions.” —Publishers Weekly “Roffman brings some badly needed ‘fresh air’ to our national discussion on pot laws.” —Charles Mandigo, former Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation Roger Roffman first discovered marijuana while serving as a US Army officer in Vietnam. From these seemingly innocuous beginnings, Roffman has been fascinated by marijuana, as a researcher, scholar, therapist, activist, and user. For decades, pot’s popularity has ebbed and surged. Calls for greater, fewer, or no marijuana penalties also have swung on their own pendulum. From lobbying in Washington to oncology wards and watching his brother struggle with addiction, Roffman has experienced the complex relationship Americans have with marijuana first-hand. With one foot on each side of the fence, at times feeling at odds with both camps, Roffman is on a quest to challenge those who insist we think of marijuana as a weapon of mass destruction, as well as those who would have us see it as a harmless source of pleasure and relief.

Worthy of Hitchcock at his best.” —Kirkus Reviews Zach Adams is one of the best detectives in the country. Nicknamed Cowboy, he’s a soft-spoken homicide detective known for his integrity and courage under fire. He serves on a federal task force that has a single mission: to hunt down Dominic Abend, a European gangster who has taken over the American underworld. After a brutal murder gives them a lead, Zach and his tough guy NYPD partner Martin Goulart are finally on Abend’s trail. But things get complicated—and very, very weird. Goulart’s on-the-job enemies are accusing him of corruption. And Zach is beginning to suspect that Abend’s evil goes beyond crime— perhaps to the edge of the supernatural. As his investigation continues in Germany, Zach finds himself lured into the impossible. In a centuries-old forest under a full moon, a beast assaults him, cursing him forever. In the aftermath, Zach is transformed into something horrible—something deadly. Now, the good cop has innocent blood on his hands. He has killed—and will kill again—in the form of a beast who can’t be controlled or stopped. Before he can free himself, he’s going to have to solve the greatest mystery of of all: How can you defeat evil when the evil is inside you?

But behind all of this, an intellectual war was also being fought between engineers, chemists, code-breakers, physicists, doctors, mathematicians, and intelligence gatherers.

It is a story resonant in our days, the age of refugees, and a grand narrative in its own right, all told with absorbing narrative skill. A book to cherish and recommend.” —Thomas Keneally, Booker Prize-winning author of Schindler’s List and Daughters of Mars Nobody asked questions, nobody demanded money. Villagers lied, covered up, procrastinated and concealed, but most importantly they welcomed. This is the story of an isolated community in the upper reaches of the Loire Valley that conspired to save the lives of 3500 Jews under the noses of the Germans and the soldiers of Vichy France. It is the story of a pacifist Protestant pastor who broke laws and defied orders to protect the lives of total strangers. It is the story of an eighteen-year-old Jewish boy from Nice who forged 5000 sets of false identity papers to save other Jews and French Resistance fighters from the Nazi concentration camps.

Witham has done an impressive amount of research into the period. He makes interesting observations about Piero’s painting and treatises and is attentive to Piero’s technical innovations.” —The Wall Street Journal “Cultural historian Witham returns with a wide-ranging account of the life, work and legacy of Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca. A thorough account of an actual ‘Renaissance man’ in every way.” —Kirkus Reviews An innovative painter in the early generation of Renaissance artists and one of the great enigmas of art history, Piero della Francesca was also intimately knowledgeable about religious topics and a mathematician who wanted to use perspective and geometry to make painting a “true science.” Piero lived in a tumultuous age of princes and popes, soldiers and schisms. A skilled geometer, he was also part of the philosophical revival of Platonism. In Piero’s Light, Larry Witham presents Piero not only as a vivid character in his own time, but as an integral piece of our artistic legacy that takes us from past visions of belief, beauty, and knowledge to a secular age, a time when science is redefining our mental experiences. $15.95 U.S. | $17.50 CAN Paperback Territory: World English (W) ISBN 978-1-60598-693-7 5½ x 8¼ | 368 pages | CQ 24 8 Pages of Color Illustrations Art History April Although only sixteen of Piero’s works survive, few art historians doubt his importance in the Renaissance.

Haycock’s balanced and scientifically sound coverage is admirable and refreshing. Readers will appreciate the way in which Haycock makes the science understandable, interesting, and relevant. Highly recommended.” —Robert D. Hare, Ph.D., author of Without Conscience and developer of The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised “Murderous Minds is a gem. I became completely immersed in the world Haycock created at the nexus of science, story, history, complete with downright wondrous narrative yarns to boot.” —James Fallon, Ph.D., author of The Psychopath Inside How many times have you seen a murder on the news and wondered “How could someone do something like that?” Today, neuroscientists are imaging, mapping, testing and dissecting the source of the worst behavior imaginable in the brains of the people who lack a conscience: psychopaths. Neuroscientist Dean Haycock examines the behavior of real-life psychopaths and discusses how their actions can be explained in scientific terms, looking inside their brains to understand how psychopaths think and act the way they do. But what does this mean for lawyers, judges, psychiatrists, victims, and readers—for anyone who has ever wondered how some people can be so bad? Could your nine-year-old be a psychopath? What about your co-worker? The ability to recognize psychopaths using the scientific method has vast implications for society, and yet is still loaded with consequences. Dean A.

German bombers are arriving daily, seeking to crush England. But in a rural Hampshire village, things have remained fairly quiet—until an elderly loner, Will Blackwell, is brutally murdered. The method of his killing bears the hallmarks of the traditional vanquishing of a witch, and indeed, local legend claims that as a boy, Blackwell encountered a ghostly black dog sent from the devil, who struck a bargain for Blackwell’s soul. Not long after the murder, a young woman who is carrying the illegitimate child of a fighter pilot also is violently killed; then a local drunkard ends up in the race of an abandoned mill with the back of his head bashed in. As the Germans continue their relentless attack, Detective Inspector Thomas Lamb rushes to solve the crimes. Do the killer’s motivations lie in the murky regions of the occult? Stephen Kelly is an award-winning writer, reporter, editor, and newspaper columnist. His work has appeared in the Baltimore Sun, the Washington Post, and Baltimore Magazine. He has a Master of Arts degree from the Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars and has taught writing and journalism at Hopkins, Towson University, in Baltimore, and Sweet Briar College, in Virginia.

Praise for Terry Mort: “Meticulously written. Mort makes a fascinating read of every subject he takes up.” —The Associated Press “A rewarding read about the inner workings of an artistic mind.” —Kirkus Reviews “Epic in scope. Terry Mort tells the story of a little-known period in the life of one of America’s greatest novelists.” —Philip Caputo, author of A Rumor of War and Acts of Faith 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. Riley lives at the Garden of Allah Hotel, the favorite watering place of screenwriters, and he meets and unknowingly assists many of them with their plots. Incidentally one of these gents, whose nom de plume is “Hobey Baker,” might actually be F. Scott Fitzgerald. . . . Evoking the classic hardboiled style, The Monet Murders is a charmingly cosy murder mystery by a novelist whose “lucid, beautifully written books are a pleasure to read” (The Wall Street Journal).

Advance Praise: “No more of the tired old attribution of Europe’s glories to Italian city states or Germanic empires; it’s around the shore of the North Sea that Michael Pye sees the slow but decisive emergence of our modern world. Utterly readable.” —Neal Ascherson, bestselling author of Black Sea “With elegant writing and extraordinary scholarship, Pye does a rare but important thing by focusing not on lands but on the waters that unite them.” —Hugh Aldersey-Williams, author of Periodic Tales and Anatomies “Splendid. A heady mix of social, economic, and intellectual history, written in an engaging style. It offers a counterpoint to the many studies of the Mediterranean, arguing for the importance of the North Sea. Exciting, fun, and informative.” —Michael Prestwich, Emeritus Professor of History, Durham University Saints and spies, pirates and philosophers, artists and intellectuals: they all criss-crossed the gray North Sea in the so-called “dark ages,” the years between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of Europe’s mastery over the oceans. Now the critically acclaimed Michael Pye reveals the cultural transformation sparked by those men and women: the ideas, technology, science, law, and moral codes that helped create our modern world. This is the magnificent lost history of a thousand years. It was on the shores of the North Sea where experimental science was born, where women first had the right to choose whom they married; there was the beginning of contemporary business transactions and the advent of the printed book. In The Edge of the World, Michael Pye draws on an astounding breadth of original source material to illuminate this fascinating region during a pivotal era in world history. Michael Pye is the author of The Drowning Room and The Pieces from Berlin, which were both New York Times Notable Books of the Year. He won various prizes in Modern History at Oxford before working as a journalist, columnist, and broadcaster in London and New York. He now divides his time between London and rural Portugal. • • • • Major review at tention Librar y marketing Advance reading copies Co - op available $27.95 | Hardcover Territory: U.S. ISBN 978-1-60598-699-9 6 x 9 | 362 pages | CQ 24 8 pages of color illustrations History April 43 Backlist Highlights Rosemary’s Baby Ira Levin $14.95 U.S. | $17.50 CAN. | Y 978-1-60598-110-9 The Boys from Brazil Ira Levin $14.95 U.S. | $17.50 CAN. | Y 978-1-60598-130-7 This Perfect Day Ira Levin $14.95 U.S. | $17.50 CAN. | Y 978-1-60598-129-1 A Kiss Before Dying Ira Levin $14.95 U.S. | $17.50 CAN. | Y 978-1-60598-183-3 Backlist Highlights The Last Cavalier Alexandre Dumas $18.95 U.S. | $22.00 CAN. | Y 978-1-60598-000-3 H.
