THE LOST GOSPEL
Decoding the Sacred Text that Reveals Jesus’ Marriage to Mary Magdalene
SIMCHA JACOBOVICHI
AND
BARRIE WILSON
In a startling follow-up to the New York Times bestseller The Jesus Family Tomb, a newly decoded
manuscript uncovers ground-breaking revelations about the life and times of Jesus Christ.
Praise for The Jesus Family Tomb and How Jesus Became Christian:
“A slick and suspenseful narrative. Jacobovici is a maverick, a self-made Indiana Jones.”
—Newsweek
“Absolutely fascinating. Many would argue the biggest story or one of the biggest stories of our lifetime.”
—NBC’s TODAY
“Wilson’s How Jesus Became Christian is beyond doubt one of the most significant works on early Christianity to appear in decades. It is bound to stir controversy.” —James D. Tabor, author of The Jesus Dynasty
Gathering dust at the British Library is an ancient manuscript of the early Church, written by an anonymous
monk. The manuscript is at least 1,600 years old, possibly dating to the first century. This revelatory book provides the first ever translation from Syriac into English of a profound document that tells us the inside story of
Jesus’ social, family, and political life.
The Lost Gospel takes the reader on an exciting historical adventure through this highly informative
ancient manuscript. What the authors eventually discovered is as surprising as it ground-breaking: the confirmation of Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene; the names of their two children; the towering presence of
Mary Magdalene; a serious plot on Jesus’ life in 19 C.E. prior to the crucifixion; an assassination plot against
their children; Jesus’ connection to political figures at the highest level of the Roman Empire—including
Emperor Tiberius; and a religious movement that antedates that of Paul—the Church of Mary Magdalene.
Part historical detective story, part travelogue about a journey into the heart of an ancient world, The Lost
Gospel reveals a secret that’s been hiding in plain sight for centuries.
SIMCHA JACOBOVICI, author of The Jesus Family Tomb, is an Emmy-winning documentary film-maker and
lecturer. His articles have appeared in publications such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.
Currently the host of The Naked Archaeologist on the History Channel, Jacobovici lives near Tel Aviv.
BARRIE WILSON is a professor of religious studies at York University in Toronto, where he specializes in early
Christianity. His book How Jesus Became Christian was longlisted for the Cundill International Prize in
History and won the Joseph and Faye Tanenbaum Award. Wilson lives in Toronto.

THE DARKLING
A Novel
R. B. CHESTERTON
“A spellbinding tale offering eloquent evidence that Southern storytelling is indeed a very special art
form.”—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
“A good storyteller—and R. B. Chesterton is quite a good
storyteller—knows to lower her voice when she’s talking
about ghosts. This author reaches into the grave for the
sepulchral tone in which she narrates The Darkling. A
spellbinding tale offering eloquent evidence that Southern
storytelling is indeed a very special art form.”
—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
“Canny 21-year-old Marie Bosarge slowly realizes she’s
dealing with malevolent forces she can’t understand. Why
do unidentified claw marks appear in Belle Fleur, the family’s
historic house? And who’s the sinister wraith at the edge of
the woods?”
—Publishers Weekly
In the 1940s, Coden, Alabama was a hideaway for movie
stars—an isolated playground tucked among live oaks and
placid bay waters where pleasure and vice could be indulged.
By the summer of 1974 Coden’s glamour has faded, but it
doesn’t bother Marie Bosarge, who is just happy to have a
job as a live-in tutor with the wealthiest family in town, the
Hendersons. When the Hendersons generously open their
arms to Annie, a troubled teenager with no recollection of
her past, Mimi’s greatest concern is creating a curriculum
for the family’s new ward.
But it soon becomes obvious that something is wrong.

NO WAY BACK
A Novel
MATTHEW KLEIN
In this riveting new thriller, Jimmy Thane thinks that his new job as the CEO of a failing company will
help turn his life around. He should think again.
“A really great book. Honest.”
—Lee Child
“No Way Back is one of the best crime novels I have read in
a long time.”
—CrimeSquad
“No Way Back is a deliciously written book, full of slick
phrases, great characters and dark comedy, coupled
with a plot that keeps driving forward relentlessly.”
—The Daily Telegraph
Jimmy Thane knows all about crossroads. Every time he’s
faced with one he’s taken the wrong path. Now, Jimmy’s
clean, and he’s at a new crossroad: he’s landed the job of
CEO at a failing company in South Florida and has seven
weeks to turn it around.
Except, from the moment he enters the building, he senses there’s something very wrong—the place is too quiet,
too empty. When the police come calling about the disappearance of the former CEO, Jimmy begins to wonder what
he got himself into. Then he discovers surveillance equipment in his neighbor’s house, looking straight into his living
room. And he begins to notice that his wife isn’t just tired,
she’s terrified, and trying to hide it.
Nothing is as it appears. Jimmy no longer feels like he’s
living the dream. Instead, he’s plunged into the worst kind
of nightmare. And when he finally gets to the truth, it’s more
shocking and terrifying than could be imagined.

THE GIRL WITH NO NAME
The Incredible Story of a Child Raised by Monkeys
MARINA CHAPMAN
AND
VANESSA JAMES
With Lynne Barrett-Lee
The amazing story of a girl who overcomes unique hardship and deprivation to reclaim her life.
As seen on NBC’s TODAY
“Marina Chapman may live a quiet life now, but the story of
her childhood is more akin to a wild fairytale.”
—The Huffington Post
“This book, which is as much a memoir about the importance of classification and belonging as it is about the endurance of the human spirit, will be enjoyed by those looking for a story of perseverance through even the greatest
obstacles life brings.”
In 1954, in a remote mountain village in South America, a little
girl was abducted. She was four years old. Marina Chapman
was stolen from her home and then abandoned deep in the Colombian jungle. That she survived is a miracle. Two days later,
half-drugged, terrified, and starving, she came upon a troop of
capuchin monkeys. Acting entirely on instinct, she tried to do
what they did: she ate what they ate and copied their actions,
and, little by little, learned to fend for herself.
So begins the story of her five years among the monkeys,
during which time she gradually became feral; she lost the
ability to speak, lost all inhibition, lost any real sense of being human, replacing the structure of human society with the
social mores of her new simian family. But her harrowing ad$15.95 U.S. | TRADE PAPERBACK

MARIJUANA NATION
One Man’s Chronicle of America Getting High: From Vietnam to Legalization
ROGER ROFFMAN
In the midst of a “war on drugs” with half-truths and billions of misspent dollars, this astute portrait
of marijuana in America rises above punditry and rhetoric.
“An astounding first-person account of the modern history
of America’s love-hate relationship with cannabis from
four knowing perspectives. From no one else’s writings can
these unique viewpoints be gained.”
—Allen St. Pierre, Executive Director, National
Organization of the Reform of Marijuana Laws
“A terrific book that provides great insights into the complex
issue that is cannabis. Professor Roffman’s unique experiences with this drug are given voice with his usual thoughtful
and engaging style. Roffman is a father of modern cannabis
intervention research and his book is a must-read.”
—Professor Jan Copeland, Director, National Cannabis
Prevention and Information Center
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. Ever
since America’s youth first marched in opposition to the
war in Vietnam, pot’s popularity has periodically ebbed and
surged. Calls for greater, fewer, or no marijuana penalties
also have swung on their own pendulum.
From lobbying in Washington, to talking to doctors and
nurses in oncology wards, and watching his brother struggle
with addiction, Roffman has experienced the layered and
complex relationship Americans have with marijuana firsthand. 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

FATHERHOOD

THOMAS H. COOK
Now in paperback, the collected short stories of Thomas H. Cook, one of America’s most celebrated
crime fiction authors.
“Thomas Cook has long been one of my favorite writers.”
—Harlan Coben
“Thomas Cook’s night visions, seen through a lens darkly,

“Cook is one of the most suspenseful of crime-fiction

brimming with imagination.”

Over his distinguished career, Cook’s novels have haunted,
riveted, and spellbound readers across the world, and his
short stories are equally acclaimed. They range from the
intensely focused world of “Fatherhood,” the Herodotus
prize-winning title story, to the Edgar-nominated “Rain,” a
dark, kaleidoscopic tale of Manhattan on a single, rain-swept
night. “The Fix,” the story of a famous boxing fix that was,
well, not a fix at all, was selected for inclusion in Best Mys-

of a one-night stand, was included in The Best Noir Stories
of the Century.

BAUDELAIRE’S REVENGE
A Novel
BOB VAN LAERHOVEN
Translated by Brian Doyle
The English-language debut of this award-winning, intoxicating novel takes the reader on a sinister
journey to Paris in 1870. . . .
Winner of the Hercule Poirot Prize for Best Crime Novel
“Vigorous. A finely-tuned balancing act between style and
content. Add to all this the extremely convincingly painted
tragic characters and the multitude of mysterious figures,
and what you get is a winner who gives added luster to
this jubilee edition of the Hercule Poirot Prize.”
—The jury of the Hercule Poirot Prize
It is 1870, and Paris is in turmoil.
As the social and political turbulence of the FrancoPrussian War roils the city, workers starve to death while
aristocrats seek refuge in orgies and séances. The Parisians
are trapped like rats in their beautiful city, but a series of
gruesome murders captures their fascination and distracts
them from the realities of war. The killer leaves lines from
the recently deceased Charles Baudelaire’s controversial
anthology Les Fleurs du Mal on each corpse, written in the
poet’s exact handwriting.
Commissioner Lefèvre, a lover of poetry and a veteran of
the Algerian war, is on the case, and his investigation is a
thrilling, intoxicating journey into the sinister side of human
nature. A vivid, intelligent, and intense historical crime novel
that offers up some shocking revelations about sexual mores
in 19th-century France, this superb mystery illuminates the
shadow life of one of the greatest names in poetry.

THE WRATH OF COCHISE
The Bascom Affair and the Origins of the Apache Wars
TERRY MORT
In a powerful evocation of the drama of the American West, here is the harrowing story of the feud
that ignited the Apache Wars.
“As a narrative of Western warfare, Mr. Mort’s lucid, beautifully written book is a pleasure to read.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“Well researched and well written, Mort reveals a compelling true story of flawed characters, poor judgment, and
sweeping historical forces.”
—The Tucson Citizen
“A riveting account. Mort is especially insightful about
the complex beliefs of the Chiricahuas, their ongoing engagement with the spirit world, their reliance on raids
against whites, and a decentralized social structure.”
—The Minneapolis Star Tribune
In February 1861, the twelve-year-old son of an Arizona
rancher was kidnapped by Apaches; a band of Chiricahua
Apaches led by the infamous warrior Cochise was blamed
for the attack. Lt. George Bascom organized a patrol and
met with the Apache leader, who, not suspecting anything
was amiss, had brought along his wife, his brother, and
two sons. Despite Cochise’s assertions of innocence and
his offer to help in the search, Bascom immediately took
Cochise’s family hostage. An incensed Cochise escaped the
meeting tent amidst flying bullets—and vowed revenge.

THE LAST WHITE ROSE
The Secret Wars of the Tudors
DESMOND SEWARD
A brilliant new interpretation of one of the most dramatic periods of British history:
the Lancaster victory in the Wars of the Roses and the Tudor legacy.
“Gripping and enthralling. No writer of fiction, however
imaginative, could dream up more spellbinding plots than
what actually happened, so skilfully recounted here.”
—Robert Hutchinson, author of The Last Days of Henry VIII
“The Last White Rose is history as it should be written: without hindsight or embellishment, but with erudition and a
sense of immediacy that makes it a gripping and original
read.”
—Jessie Childs, author of Henry VIII’s Last Victim
“An entertaining and valuable exploration of the early
Tudor period.”
—The Literary Review
One of the most dramatic periods of British history, the Wars
of the Roses didn’t end at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
Despite the death of Richard III and Henry VII’s victory,
it continued underground into the following century with
plots, pretenders, and subterfuge by the ousted white rose
faction. In a brand-new interpretation of this turning point in
history, well-known historian Desmond Seward reviews the
story of the Tudors’ seizure of the throne and shows that for
many years they were far from secure.
He challenges the way we look at the reigns of Henry VII
and Henry VIII, explaining why there were so many Yorkist
pretenders and conspiracies and why the new dynasty had
such difficulty establishing itself. King Richard’s nephews,
the Earl of Warwick and the little known de la Pole brothers,
all had the support of dangerous enemies overseas, while
England was split when the lowly Perkin Warbeck skilfully
impersonated one of the princes in the tower in order to
claim the right to the throne.

Praise for Camilla Läckberg:
“If Camilla keeps producing mysteries as richly textured and downiright breathtaking as her latest, who

VANESSA
A Life of Vanessa Redgrave
DAN CALLAHAN
In this first-ever biography of the woman many have called our greatest living actress, the formidable
Vanessa Redgrave is at last revealed to us in all of her different personas.
Praise for Barbara Stanwyck: The Miracle Woman:
“Dan Callahan’s Barbara Stanwyck: The Miracle Woman
is a serious book about a serious woman. If Mr. Callahan’s book is not the last word on this great actress, it
will certainly stand as an invaluable critical guide.”
“An impassioned biography. Film scholar Dan Callahan
focuses on what really interests him about his subject:
not Tinseltown gossip, but what Stanwyck accomplished
on screen.… Callahan’s enthusiasm informs every page.”
—Dennis Drabelle, The Washington Post
“Callahan epigrammatically notes the eternal human truths
within Stanwyck’s performances.”
—Sight and Sound
Who isn’t in awe of Vanessa Redgrave? Her career on stage
and screen remains vital and her extreme-left political
stands are still quite controversial. This is the moment, and
this is the biography, to take stock of Vanessa Redgrave
both as actress and as political activist with a critical, objective study of her life and career. It is also time to account for her unparalleled achievements as an empathetic
actress of considerable genius.
In his Biographical Dictionary of Film, David Thomson
writes about Redgrave, “She has made mistakes, but there
is a case for her as the best actress alive, ready for further
challenge.” Anyone who has seen Redgrave in her numerous stage and film roles will know why Thomson rates her
as the very best we have. The radiant, fearless, daring, perverse, and always unpredictable Redgrave is the brightest
light in the forest of her famous family.

THE OTHER CHILD
A Novel of Crime
CHARLOTTE LINK
“Charlotte Link, a bestselling author in her native Germany but previously unknown to American
readers, has the eerie insight peculiar to writers of psychological suspense.”
—Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
“Link, a bestseller in her native Germany, makes her U.S.
debut with a sophisticated and thoughtful mystery set in
England. Fans of Ruth Rendell and Minette Walters will be
enthralled.”
“In this translation by Stefan Tobler, Link demonstrates [a]
subtle touch, while distracting us from the innocent-looking
characters standing quietly in the shadows.”
—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
An old farm, a deserted landscape, a dark secret from times
past with fatal consequences for the present. In the tranquil
northern seaside town, a student is found cruelly murdered.
For months, the investigators are in the dark, until they are
faced with a copy-cat crime. The investigation continues
as they struggle to establish a connection between the two
victims.
Ambitious detective Valerie Almond clings to the all
too obvious: a rift within the family of the second victim.
But there is far more to the case than first appears, and
Valerie is led toward a dark secret inextricably linked to the
evacuation of children to Scarborough during World War II.
Horrified at her last-minute discovery, Valerie realizes that
she may be too late to save the next victim.

DIET CULTS
The Surprising Fallacy at the Core of Nutrition Fads
and a Guide to Healthy Eating for the Rest of Us
MATT FITZGERALD
From the national bestselling author of Racing Weight, Matt Fitzgerald exposes the
irrationality, half-truths, and downright impossibility of a “single right way” to eat,
and reveals how to develop rational, healthy eating habits.
“I highly recommend reading Racing Weight even if you don’t need to lose any excess poundage. You’ll come
away with a better understanding of your physiology and also of food.” —Joe Friel, author of The Triathlete’s
Training Bible and The Cyclist’s Training Bible
“Sports nutritionist Matt Fitzgerald lets us in on his no-diet secrets that can help endurance athletes get
leaner, stronger, and faster.” —Men’s Fitness
“Racing Weight answers the difficult questions athletes often have about dieting, including how to handle
the off-season. The book gives readers a scientifically backed system to discover your optimum race weight,
as well as five steps to achieve it.” —Triathlete Magazine
From “The Four Hour Body” to “Atkins,” there are diet cults to match seemingly any mood and personality
type. Everywhere we turn, someone is preaching the “One True Way” to eat for maximum health. Paleo
Diet advocates tell us that all foods less than 12,000 years old are the enemy. Low-carb gurus demonize
carbs, then there are the low-fat prophets. But they agree on one thing: there is only one true way to eat for
maximum health. The first clue that that is a fallacy is the sheer variety of diets advocated. Indeed, while
all of these competing views claim to be backed by “science,” a good look at actual nutritional science
itself suggests that it is impossible to identify a single best way to eat.
Fitzgerald advocates an agnostic, rational approach to eating habits, based on one’s own habits, lifestyle, and genetics/body type. Many professional athletes already practice this “Good Enough” diet, and
now we can too and ditch the brainwashing of these diet cults for good.
MATT FITZGERALD is an acclaimed endurance sports and nutrition writer and certified sports nutrition-
ist. His most recent book, Iron War, was long-listed for the 2012 William Hill Sports Book of the Year,
and he is the author of the best-selling Racing Weight. Fitzgerald is a columnist on Competitor.com and

THE SQUARE OF REVENGE
An Inspector Van In Mystery
PIETER ASPE
Translated by Brian Doyle
An ancient family name hides sinister secrets of love and betrayal, riches and revenge in
Pieter Aspe’s tantalizing English-language debut.
“Pulp fiction is great for the beach, but there’s nothing
like a good destination mystery to take you out of town
for the summer. The Square of Revenge is a welcome addition. Set in the splendid medieval city of Bruges, it stars
Inspector Pieter Van In, a brusque cop with every bad habit
you can think of, and whose insider’s view of this ancient
and grandly aloof city are priceless.”
—Marilyn Stasio,
The New York Times Book Review
“Offbeat characters and an unusual plot lift Belgian author Aspe’s first Pieter Van In novel to be translated into
English. Van In and his eccentric cast of colleagues will be
welcome companions for many readers, who will probably
find comparisons to Simenon’s Maigret.”
“The Flemish Georges Simenon.”
—Le Figaro (France)
The beautiful medieval architecture of Bruges belies the
dark longings of her residents. When the wealthy and powerful Ludovic Degroof’s jewelry store is broken into, nothing
is stolen, but the jewels have been dissolved in jars of acid
so strong it can even melt gold. In the empty safe is a scrap
of paper on which a strange square has been drawn.

OPERATION DAMOCLES
Israel’s Secret War Against Hitler’s Scientists, 1951–1967
ROGER HOWARD
The cloak-and-dagger story of the former Nazi scientists recruited by Egypt to develop long-range
missiles capable of striking Israel.
“In the years following WWII, Egypt, under the guidance of
President Nasser, recruited former Nazi scientists for their
long-range rocket-development efforts. Howard’s conclusions are sound, and his briskly paced work is an entertaining read.”
“Embroidering this episode with the craft and occasional
ruthlessness of espionage, Howard will interest readers of
intelligence history.”
—Booklist
“A well-paced narrative as chock full of mysterious revelations as a good spy thriller.”
—Kirkus Reviews
From 1951 to 1967, Egypt pursued a secret program to build
military rockets that could have conceivably posed a threat
to neighboring Israel. Because such an ambitious project
required Western expertise, Egyptian leader President Nasser
hired West German scientists, many of them veterans of the
Nazi rocket program at Peenemünde and elsewhere.
These covert plans soon came to the attention of Israel’s
legendary secret service, Mossad, and caused deep alarm
in Tel Aviv. Could the missiles be fitted with warheads filled
with radiological, chemical, or even nuclear materials?
Israel responded by using threats, intimidation, and brutal
assassination squads to deter the German scientists from

THE PLANT THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
Papyrus and the Evolution of Civilization: From Ancient Egypt to Today’s Water Wars
JOHN GAUDET
At the center of the most vital human/plant relationship in history, papyrus evokes the mysteries of
the ancient world while holding the key to the world’s wetlands and atmospheric stability.
“A fascinating account of the plant that provide the world
with paper for the first four thousand years of its history,
and today can help conserve valuable water. Lively and well
written.”
—Jean-Daniel Stanley, Senior Scientist Emeritus,
National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution
From ancient Pharos to twenty-first century water wars, papyrus is a unique plant that is now the fastest-growing plant
species on earth. It produces its own “soil”—a peaty matrix
that floats on water—and inspired the fluted columns of the
ancient Greeks. In ancient Egypt, the papyrus bounty from
the Nile delta provided not just paper for record keeping—instrumental to the development of civilization—but food, fuel,
and boats. Disastrous weather in the 6th century caused
famines and plagues that almost wiped out civilization in
the West, but it was papyrus to the rescue.
Today, it is not just a curious relic of our ancient past, but
a rescuing force for modern ecological and societal blight.
In an ironic twist, Egypt is faced with enormous pollution
loads that forces them to import food supplies, and yet papyrus is one of the most effective and efficient natural pollution filters known to man. Papyrus was the key in stemming
the devastation to the Sea of Galilee and Jordan River from
raging peat fires (that last for years), and the papyrus-laden
shores of Lake Victoria—which provides water to more than

THE SERPENT’S PROMISE
The Retelling of the Bible Through the Eyes of Modern Science
STEVE JONES
From acclaimed geneticist Steve Jones, the story of the Bible as told
through the lens of modern science.
“The Serpent’s Promise is not simply a continuation of an ancient confrontation on evolution between scientist and believer: the events chosen by Jones reflect well the breadth and quality of the questions asked in the
Bible. Whatever your own starting point, you will need to read the evidence set out in this important book to
judge for yourself its outcome.” —The Times (London)
“It is always fun to compare past visions of cosmic truth with our own understanding of life and the universe.
I cannot think of a wittier guide than Steve Jones.” —The Guardian
Past praise for Steve Jones:
“There are few better or more entertaining accounts of the evolutionary process in print today than Darwin’s
Ghost.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Fascinating and witty. Written with great authority and a fluid style. Humane, approachable, funny.”
—The Boston Globe
In The Serpent’s Promise, Steve Jones retells many of the biblical tales in the light of modern science. Are we
all descended from a real-life Adam and Eve? Are some—or all—of us marked with the molecular equivalent of
original sin, and if so what can we do about it? Was the Bible’s great flood a memory of the end of the Ice Age?
And what can science tell us of the mystical experiences reported by the faithful, or of the origin of faith itself?
Some people deny the power of religious belief, others the findings of science. In this groundbreaking work from
one of our great science writers, Steve Jones explores how these mysteries often overlap. He steps aside from the
noisy debate between believers and non-believers to show how the questions that preoccupy us today are those
of biblical times—and that science offers many of the answers.
At once brilliantly erudite and highly readable, The Serpent’s Promise is a witty and thoughtful account of the
greatest scientific story ever told.
STEVE JONES is professor of genetics at University College London. He is the author of The Darwin
Archipalego; Y: The Descent of Man; Darwin’s Ghost; and Almost Like a Whale: The Origin of Species.
Jones is the winner of the Royal Society Faraday Medal for the Public Understanding of Science.

CHURCHILL AND EMPIRE
A Portrait of an Imperialist
LAWRENCE JAMES
An illuminating and often surprising new biography of Churchill, focusing on his contradictory
relationship with the British Empire.
Praise for Lawrence James:
“This is a stylish, intelligent, and readable book.”
“James has a gift for writing generally pithy prose.”
“Should enlighten and entertain readers who wish to learn
more about an empire that was more extensive and arguably
more influential than that of Rome.” —The Washington Post
One of our finest narrative historians, Lawrence James has
written a genuinely new biography of Winston Churchill, one
focusing solely on his relationship with the British Empire.
As a young army officer in the late nineteenth century serving in conflicts in India, South Africa, and the Sudan, his
attitude toward the Empire was the Victorian paternalistic
approach—at once responsible and superior.
Conscious even then of his political career ahead, Churchill
found himself reluctantly supporting British atrocities and
held what many would regard today as prejudiced views, in
that he felt that some nationalities were superior to others;
his (some might say obsequious) relationship with America
reflected that view.
This outmoded attitude was one of the reasons the British

voters rejected him after a Second World War in which he
had led the country brilliantly. His attitude remained decidedly old-fashioned in a world that was shaping up very differently. This ground-breaking volume reveals the many facets

OUR NECESSARY SHADOW
The Nature and Meaning of Psychiatry
TOM BURNS
“Displaying the dignified passion of someone trying to construct a better world, Burns shows us
psychiatry’s triumphs and is frank about its pitfalls.”—Andrew Soloman, author of Far from the Tree
“In his cool and rational book Our Necessary Shadow,
Burns makes a powerful case.”
“Tom Burns is calm, sympathetic, and willing to listen to a
wide variety of views. Just the person you would like to be
in charge of your care if you were assailed by madness.”
In what will be a tour de force in the field of psychiatry in
all its complexity and depth, this important new volume
explores the essential paradox of psychiatry—and offers a
balanced understanding of its history and development in
the medical world. Much is written about psychiatry, but
very little that describes psychiatry itself. Why should there
be such a need? For good or ill, psychiatry is a polemical
battleground, criticized on the one hand as an instrument of
social control, while on the other the latest developments in
neuroscience are trumpeted as lasting solutions to mental
illness.
Which of these strikingly contrasting positions should we
believe? This is the first attempt in a generation to explain
the whole subject of psychiatry. In this deeply thoughtful, descriptive, and sympathetic book, Tom Burns reviews the historical development of psychiatry, throughout alert to where
psychiatry helps and where it is imperfect. What is clear is
that mental illnesses are intimately tied to what makes us
human in the first place. And the drive to relieve the suffering
they cause is even more human.
Psychiatry, for all its flaws, currently represents our best attempt to discharge this most human of impulses. It is not
something we can just ignore. It is our necessary shadow.

Amidst the lush farmland and orchards in Old Gate, Virginia, stands the magnificent Bliss House. Built in 1878 as

At a grand housewarming party, Bliss House begins to

her father, and the ghost of a woman being pushed to her
death off of an upper floor balcony, beneath an exquisite
dome of painted stars. And then there is a death the night

MOTOR CITY BURNING
A Novel
BILL MORRIS
From the critically acclaimed author of Motor City, Detroit comes alive in a powerful and thrilling
novel set amidst the chaos of the race riots and the serenity of Opening Day.
Praise for Motor City and All Soul’s Day:
“Morris has the same gift John Updike displayed in his Rabbit novels, a gift for delineating his characters’ inner lives while at the same time making their dilemmas emblematic of impulses in American society at large.
He is a vigorous, nimble writer..” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
“A vivid and entertaining expedition.”
—Loren D. Estleman, The Washington Post
“The ‘50s were the first American decade that could be caricatured by the brand names of its material
goods, and Morris recaptures the clean, voluptuous pleasure of it all. A skillful first novel.” —Frank Rich in
The New Republic
“A wonderfully atmospheric novel that captures time and place, an illumination of a pivotal point in history.
Bill Morris is an exceptionally gifted and savvy writer. The comparison to Graham Greene is fully merited.”
—Nelson DeMille
Willie Bledsoe, only in his twenties, is totally burned out. After leaving behind a snug berth at Tuskegee Institute
to join the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Detroit to try to change the world, Willie quickly grows
disenchanted and returns home to Alabama to try to come to grips about his time in the cultural whirlwind.
But the surprise return of his Vietnam veteran brother in the spring of 1967 gives him a chance to drive a
load of stolen guns back up to the Motor City, which would give him enough money to jump-start his dream
of moving to New York. There, on the opening day of the 1968 baseball season—postponed two days in
deference to the funeral of Martin Luther King, Jr.—Willie learns some terrifying news: the Detroit police are
still investigating the last unsolved murder from the bloody, apocalyptic race riot of the previous summer,
and a Detroit cop named Frank Doyle will not rest until the case is solved. And Willie is his prime suspect.
BILL MORRIS is a staff writer with the online literary magazine The Millions and has written for the sports
section of the New York Times. His work, both fiction and nonfiction, has been published in Granta, L.A.
Weekly, the Baltimore Sun, and Newsday. Originally from Detroit, Bill now lives in New York City.

FAREWELL TO REALITY
How Modern Physics Has Betrayed the Search for Scientific Truth
JIM BAGGOTT
“Such tilting at windmills fills Mr. Baggott with scorn. Yet his fierce and refreshing polemic does a
fine job of helping readers understand some of the knottiest ideas in contemporary physics.”
—The Economist
“In consistently accessible and intelligent prose, Baggott
sympathetically captures the frustrations of physicists while
laying out a provocative—and very convincing—plea for a
reality check in a field that he feels is now too ‘meta’ for its
own good.”
“Baggott has done something that I would not have
thought possible in a popular book. He navigates successfully between the Scylla of mathematical rigor and the Charybdis of popular nonsense.”
(on The Quantum Story)
In this stunning new volume, Jim Baggott argues that there
is no observational or experimental evidence for many of
the ideas of modern theoretical physics: super-symmetric
particles, super strings, the multiverse, the holographic
principle, or the anthropic cosmological principle. These
theories are not only untrue, it is not even science. It is
fairy-tale physics: fantastical, bizarre, and often outrageous, perhaps even confidence-trickery.
This book provides a much-needed antidote. Informed,
comprehensive, and balanced, it offers lay readers the
latest ideas about the nature of physical reality while clearly
distinguishing between fact and fantasy. With its engaging
portraits of many central figures of modern physics,

RICHARD III
England’s Black Legend
Fully Updated to Include the Discovery of Richard III’s Final Resting Place
DESMOND SEWARD
With the recent discovery of Richard III’s remains, a newly revised edition
of the celebrated biography of England’s most notorious king.
“A well-written and colorful account of an intriguing period
in English history.”
“Perhaps the best, and certainly the most readable, of recent biographies.”
—John Julius Norwich, author of
Shakespeare’s Kings and Queens
“A valuable addition to the file, a biography of strong
feeling and firmly held conviction arrived at after long
thought. It is most readable.”
With the victory of Henry Tudor, the usurping dynasty made
an effort to besmirch the last Plantagenet’s reputation,
and some historians claim that Richard’s “black legend”
is nothing more than political propaganda. Yet such an
interpretation, as Desmond Seward shows in this powerfully
argued book, suggests a refusal to face the facts of history.
Even in the king’s lifetime there were rumors about his
involvement in the murders of Henry VI and of his nephews,
the “Princes in the Tower,” while his reign was considered
by many to be a nightmare, not least for the king himself.
The real Richard III was both a chilling and compelling
monarch, a peculiarly grim young English precursor of
Machiavelli’s Prince.
Sweeping aside sentimental fantasy, this is a colorful,
authoritative biography that offers a definitive picture of

Luka is a war veteran who wants only a quiet life with his family. So far his village has remained hidden from the advancing
Soviet brutality. But everything changes the day the stranger

CROSSING PURGATORY
A Novel
GARY SCHANBACHER
In the wake of family tragedy, Thompson Grey takes to the Santa Fe Trail in a spare and powerful story of
the meaning of family, human frailties, and, ultimately, redemption.
“Schanbacher is a gifted writer whose prose is always elegant, whether describing the land, a winter storm, or the
inner life of his characters. An intense and emotionally stirring saga.”
“A beautiful, lyrical experience, memorable for its timeless
evocation of human struggle at the fringes of civilization.”
—William Haywood Henderson,
author of Augusta Locke
“This striking tale, a literary western from Schanbacher,
chronicles one momentous year in the life of a plainsman
on the eve of the American Civil War. A visceral and
triumphant saga of the Old West.”
In spring of 1858 Thompson Grey, a young farmer, travels to
his father’s estate seeking funds to expand his holdings. Far
overstaying his visit, he returns home to find that his absence
has led to a devastating tragedy. Haunted by remorse, Thompson abandons his farm and begins a westward exile in the
attempt to outpace his grief. Unwittingly, he finds himself at
journey’s end in the one place where his strongest temptations
are able to overtake him and once again put him to the test.

CITY OF DEVILS
A Novel
DIANA BRETHERICK
The brightest mind in early criminology meets the darkest killer, in this debut mystery
set in the heady, cultivated world of nineteenth-century Turin.
Advance Praise for City of Devils:
“Bretherick weaves together a number of strands into a
complex tale that ends with a genuinely surprising revelation of the identity of the murderer. This is a historical
crime novel with real originality and narrative energy.”
—BBC History Magazine
Turin, Italy, 1887. When James Murray, a young Scottish doctor fascinated by the workings of the criminal mind, travels to
the vibrant city of Turin, it is to study with Cesare Lombroso,
the world-renowned criminologist. But just hours after his introduction to the unconventional Lombroso, the discovery of a
horrifically mutilated body in the nearby Piazza Statuto—and
a note that appears to implicate the celebrated criminologist
himself—changes everything.
With the help of his fellow apprentice, Ottolenghi; a local
investigator, Tullio; and Lombroso’s beautiful but enigmatic
housekeeper, Sofia; Murray must put his learning to the test
and endeavor to understand the mind of a malevolent serial
killer if he is to stop the rapidly escalating bloodbath and
clear the name of his mentor.
Have Lombroso’s many enemies attempted to frame him?
Are the notes an accusation or a challenge? And will Lombroso’s own influential theories about criminal behavior hold
the keys to Murray catching a cunning and ruthless killer?
DIANA BRETHERICK, a former criminal defense attorney,
is a lecturer in criminology and criminal law at Portsmouth
University in England. She won the Good Housekeeping
new novel competition last year for City of Devils.

A GREAT AND GLORIOUS ADVENTURE
A History of the Hundred Years War and the Birth of Renaissance England
GORDON CORRIGAN
The glory and tragedy of the Hundred Years War is revealed in a new historical narrative,
bringing Henry V, the Black Prince, and Joan of Arc to fresh and vivid life.
Praise for The Second World War:
“Corrigan offers a superlative big picture. Engaging reading down to the footnotes.”
“Completely hypnotic.”
—Kirkus Reviews
—The Daily Telegraph
“Convincing. Myth after myth collapses before Corrigan’s
minute and wittily presented research.”
—Andrew Roberts
“Brilliantly described and lucidly explained.” —The Spectator
In this captivating new history of a conflict that raged for over
a century, Gordon Corrigan reveals the horrors of battle and
the machinations of power that have shaped a millennium of
Anglo-French relations.
The Hundred Years War was fought between 1337 and
1453 over English claims to both the throne of France by right
of inheritance and large parts of the country that had been
at one time Norman or, later, English. The fighting ebbed and
flowed, but despite their superior tactics and great victories at
Crécy, Poitiers, and Agincourt, the English could never hope
to secure their claims in perpetuity: France was wealthier and
far more populous, and while the English won the battles,
they could not hope to hold forever the lands they conquered.
Military historian Gordon Corrigan’s gripping narrative of
these epochal events is combative and refreshingly alive, and
the great battles and personalities of the period—Edward III,
The Black Prince, Henry V, and Joan of Arc among them—receive the full attention and reassessment they deserve.
GORDON CORRIGAN is a member of the British
Commission for Military History and a Fellow of the Royal
Asiatic Society. He is the author of The Second World War.

REALLY THE BLUES
A Mystery in Paris
JOSEPH KOENIG
Jazz trumpet player Eddie Piron thinks that performing in Nazi-occupied Paris is bad enough, but when
the drummer in his band is found face-down in the Seine, he realizes that his trouble is only beginning.
Praise for False Negative:

Razor-sharp prose and a fast-moving plot will please Mickey

“Koenig’s gritty Jersey Shore milieu, a host of brazenly onthe-make characters, and lots of brilliant noirish dialogue

—Booklist
“A terrific piece of pulp fiction. A triumphant comeback for
Joseph Koenig.”
—Book Reporter
Paris, 1941. American jazz musician Eddie Piron has lived in
the City of Light since before the war began. But Paris under
occupation is not what it once was, and things are looking a
lot darker for a man like Eddie. The great jazz artists of the day,
like Django Reinhardt, are lying low or being swept away under
the racial policies of the Nazis. But the SS has a paradoxical
taste for “negermusik,” and their favorite gathering place is La
Caverne Negre, where Eddie leads the band.
One night the drummer for “Eddie et Ses Anges,” an indifferent musician but an essential part of the group, disappears. When his body is found in the Seine the next day,
Eddie becomes entangled in the murder investigation. He
soon finds himself in the clutches of a mercenary intelligence
broker who begins to understand why Eddie Piron is really in
Paris—and what he’s trying to hide.

UNACCOUNTABLE
How Anti-Corruption Watchdogs and Lobbyists Sabotaged
America’s Finance, Freedom, and Security
JANINE WEDEL
A groundbreaking book that challenges Americans to reevaluate our views on
how corruption and private interests have infiltrated every level of society.
Praise for Shadow Elite:
“This fascinating, authoritative wake-up call should satisfy any American who wants a handle on the most
successful agents of corruption.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A clarion call against some insidious threats to a healthy democracy.”
“A gripping, disquieting book that exposes and explains why it’s been so hard to bring about any real
change in our country.”

“Of huge value. Wedel has reinvented the study of public administration for an era of blurred roles and
secret networks. A must-read for the age of flexians and truthiness.”
—James K. Galbraith, author of
The Predator State
From the Tea Party to Occupy Wall Street, 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 elusory system of power that has shed any accountability to
those it was meant to help and govern.
But what does corruption and unaccountability mean in today’s world? It is 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 & Poors, or the exteme influence of lobbyists in congress, all embody a “new
corruption” and remain unaccountable to our society’s supposed watchdogs, which sit idly alongside the
same groups that have brought the government, business, and much of the military into their pocket.
JANINE WEDEL is the author of Shadow Elite (Basic Books). Wedel has written for the New York Times,
Financial Times, Washington Post, The Nation, Los Angeles Times, Christian Science Monitor, Boston Globe, Politico,

“A lyrical, haunting tale delivered with both grace and

character’s primary language, and sends her on a journey
of self-discovery.”
—Lalita Tademy, author of the

“Evocative, powerful, and well-paced, Schuyler’s novel illuminates how interpreting a person is as complicated an art
as translating a book.”
When renowned translator Hanne Schubert falls down a
flight of stairs, she suffers an unusual condition—the loss of
her native language. Speaking only Japanese, a language she
learned later in life, she leaves for Japan. There, to Hanne’s
shock, the Japanese novelist whose work she has recently
translated confronts her publicly for sabotaging his work.
Reeling, Hanne seeks out the inspiration for the author’s
novel—a tortured, chimerical actor, once a master in the art of
Noh Theater. Through their passionate, volatile relationship,
Hanne is forced to reexamine how she has lived her life, including her estranged relationship with her daughter. In elegant
prose, Nina Schuyler offers a deeply moving and mesmerizing
story about language, love, and the transcendence of family.

“Inspector Bordelli has a lot on his mind. 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.”
—New York Times
“Vichi’s stellar first in a new mystery series delivers a plausible
solution worthy of a golden age crime novel.”
on Death in August
“Over the course of his police procedurals, Vichi shows us
ever more secret and dark sides to an otherwise sunny and
open city. But his happiest creation remains the character of
Inspector Bordelli, a disillusioned anti-hero who is difficult
to forget.”
—Andrea Camilleri
April 1964, and the cruelest month is breeding bad weather
and worse news. And plenty of disturbing news is coming
to Florence detective Inspector Bordelli.
Bordelli’s friend, Casimiro, insists he’s discovered the
body of a man in a field above Fiesole. Bordelli races to
the scene, but doesn’t find any sign of a corpse. Only a
couple of days later, a little girl is found at Villa Ventaglio.
She has been strangled, and there is a horrible bite mark on
her belly. Then another young girl is found murdered, with

THE BLACK ROAD
A Novel
TANIA CARVER
Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and Mo Hayder, the twisting, terrifying new thriller
from the author of Cage of Bones will leave you breathless with suspense.
Advance Praise for The Black Road:
“The best in the series so far. Gruesome and fast-paced,
with Carver’s trademark staccato sentences and plenty of
suspense, this is definitely a white-knuckle read.”
—The Guardian
“Keep the lights on for this one. Carver has delivered another
utterly terrifying, yet believable chiller.”
“A tense, suspenseful story.”
“Seriously scary.”
—The Daily Mirror
—The Literary Review
—Mark Billingham
The honeymoon is over for newlywed criminologist Marina
Esposito. Her house is in flames. Her detective husband
is in a coma. Her baby daughter is missing. And then her
phone rings. . . .
“I have something you’ve lost,” the voice said. “Your
daughter.”
The voice on the other end wants to play a game. If Marina
completes a series of bizarre tasks within three days, she wins
her daughter’s life. If she fails, her little girl dies. The clock
starts now.
In a desperate race against time, Marina begins to suspect
that the madman is someone she knows—someone with a
past as troubled as her own. But the truth is far darker than
she imagines. . . .
TANIA CARVER is the pseudonym for the husband-andwife writing team of Martyn and Linda Waites. They are the
authors of The Surrogate, The Creeper, and Cage of Bones,

CRACKED
The Unhappy Truth about Psychiatry
JAMES DAVIES
A shocking exposé of the current state of psychiatry revealing how the patient’s wellbeing has been
compromised by the power of the pharmaceutical industry.
“Davies adds to the fusillade against contemporary
psychiatry with this multipronged attack. The consequences
for patients and the profession are obvious. An eye-opening
and persuasive work.”
“Cracked is scathing about every aspect of modern psychiatry.
Enormous profits are at stake, reputations are at risk. My
prediction is that Cracked will—and certainly should—have
quite an impact.”
“Smack in the middle of our society sits a great and
dangerous scandal. It also involves one of the greatest
confidence tricks ever attempted, and some of the most
shocking greed. Cracked shows that most of what we
believe about modern mental health medicine is wrong.”
—Peter Hitchens, The Daily Mail
In an effort to enlighten a new generation about its growing
reliance on psychiatry, Cracked investigates why psychiatry has become the fastest-growing medical field in history;
why psychiatric drugs are now more widely prescribed than
ever before; and why psychiatry keeps expanding the number of mental disorders it believes to exist.
This revelatory volume shows that these issues can be
explained by one startling fact: in recent decades psychia$15.95 U.S. | $17.00 CAN

try has become motivated by the pursuit of pharmaceutical
riches. Readers will be shocked and dismayed to discover
that psychiatry, in the name of helping others, has actually
been helping itself.
Investigative in tone and shocking in its findings, James
Davies’ Cracked reveals psychiatry’s hidden failings—and
explores how this field of study must change if it is ever to
win back the patient’s trust.
JAMES DAVIES attained his PhD in social and medical
anthropology at Oxford. He has lectured at Harvard, Brown,
the New School, Yale, and Oxford. James lives in London

TUDOR ADVENTURERS
The Voyage of Discovery that Transformed England
JAMES EVANS
A bold Tudor voyage of exploration and adventure—and the extraordinary story of daring,
discovery, and tragedy that changed England forever.
In the spring of 1553 three ships sailed northeast from
London into uncharted waters. The scale of their ambition
was breathtaking. Drawing on the latest navigational
science and the new spirit of enterprise and discovery
sweeping the Tudor capital, they sought a northern passage
to Asia and its riches.
The success of the expedition depended on its two leaders:
Sir Hugh Willoughby, a brave gentleman soldier, and Richard
Chancellor, a brilliant young scientist and practical man of
the sea. When their ships became separated in a storm, each
had to fend for himself. Their fates were sharply divided. One
returned to England, to recount extraordinary tales of the imperial court of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. The tragic, mysterious
story of the other two ships has had to be pieced together
through the surviving captain’s log book, after he and his
crew became lost and trapped by the advancing Arctic winter.
This exceptional endeavor was one of the boldest in British
history, and its impact was profound. Although the “merchant
adventurers” failed to reach China as they had hoped, their
achievements would lay the foundations for England’s
expansion on a global stage. As James Evans’ vivid account
shows, their voyage also makes for a moving story of daring,
discovery, tragedy, and adventure.
JAMES EVANS completed his PhD at Oxford following
a first-class Masters in Historical Research. He has
worked as a producer on various BBC historical television
documentaries,
including
Dan
Cruickshank’s
Hidden
Houses; Niall Ferguson’s Western Civilization; Griff Rhys
Jones’s Rivers; and Michael Wood’s English Story, for which
