The Burma Spring
Aung San Suu Kyi and the Battle for the Soul of a Nation
Rena Pederson
foreword by laura bush
Aung San Suu Kyi—Burma’s “woman of destiny” and one of the most admired voices for freedom in
the world today—comes alive through this brilliant rendering of Burma’s tumultuous history
Praise for Rena Pederson:
“Wonderfully inspirational. A must read.”
“Tart and witty. Pederson’s book shines.”
—Senator Elizabeth Dole
—Shelby Hearon, author of Owning Jolene
“Engagingly written and intelligently documented.”
—Library Journal
Award-winning journalist and former State Department speechwriter Rena Pederson brings to light fresh
details about the charismatic Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi: the inspiration for Burma’s (now
Myanmar) first steps toward democracy.
Suu Kyi’s party will be a major contender in the 2015 elections, a revolutionary breakthrough after years
of military dictatorship. Using exclusive interviews with Suu Kyi since her release from fifteen years of
house arrest, as well as recently disclosed diplomatic cables, Pederson uncovers new facets to Suu Kyi’s
extraordinary story.
The Burma Spring will also surprise readers by revealing the extraordinary steps taken by First Lady
Laura Bush to help Suu Kyi, and also how former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton injected new momentum
into Burma’s democratic rebirth. Pederson provides a never-before-seen view of the harrowing hardships
the people of Burma have endured and the fiery political atmosphere in which Suu Kyi has fought a lifeand-death struggle for liberty in this fascinating part of the world.
Rena Pederson teaches writing at Southern Methodist University. She has written on Burma for the Huff-
ington Post, the Washington Post, and the Christian Science Monitor. Pederson was the Editorial Page
Editor at the Dallas Morning News, has served on the Pulitzer Prize Board, and is the author of The Lost
Apostle and What’s Next?, which was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show. She is currently a commentator on Dallas Public Radio and lives in Dallas, Texas.
Laura Bush was First Lady of the United States from 2001 to 2009. She founded both the National Book
Festival and the Texas Book Festival and is the author of Spoken From the Heart.

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.

The Mangle Street Murders
The Gower Street Detective: Book 1
M. R. C. 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.

Sidney Grice once had a reputation as London’s most
perspicacious personal detective. But since his last case

Gretel and the Case of the
Missing Frog Prints
A Brothers Grimm Mystery
P. 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. Brackston is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Witch’s Daughter; The Winter Witch;
and Nutters. She has an MA in Creative Writing from Lancaster University and is a Visiting Lecturer for
the University of Wales, Newport. Brackston lives in Wales with her partner, Simon, and their two children.

The Story of Music
From Babylon to the Beatles: How Music Has Shaped Civilization
Howard Goodall
A dynamic and expansive tour through 40,000 years of music, from prehistoric instruments to
modern-day pop songs.
“Goodall’s critical assessments are acute and sometimes
provocative. His grasp of music’s place in popular culture is
astute. And his belief in the current convergence of international pop, folk, and classical music is admirable.”
—The Boston Globe
“A masterful and illuminating whirlwind tour through

How to Read the Solar System
A Guide to the Stars and Planets
Chris North
and
Paul Abel
foreword by brian may
A fresh and essential guide to understanding and interpreting the wonders of our solar system,
from two young astronomers who are the hosts of the popular BBC television series The Sky at Night
What exactly is the solar system? We’ve all learned the
basics at school, but do we really understand what we are
seeing in the night sky? Expert astronomers Chris North
and Paul Abel provide a fascinating guided tour of our
Solar System and explain its many wonders.
They look at all the major players, including our more
familiar cosmic neighbors—the Sun, the planets and their
moons—as well as the occasional visitors to our planet—
asteroids, meteors, and comets—in addition to distant stars
and what might lie beyond our Solar System, including the
mysterious Earth Mark II? North and Abel recount the
history of how our Solar System came to be, and the myths
that once shaped astronomy.
Through their cogent explanations of the latest scientific
discoveries, they reveal how any amateur astronomer
can view and interpret the Solar System and enrich their
understanding of our universe.
Dr. Chris North is an astronomer at Cardiff University. He
has worked on the Planck Satellite and Herschel Space
Observatory, which studied how stars, galaxies, and the
universe evolved over cosmic time.
Dr. Paul Abel is an astronomer and lecturer at The
Center for Interdisciplinary Science at the University of
Leicester. He specializes in the research of black hole
thermodynamics and quantum field theory and is a fellow
of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Death in Sardinia
An Inspector Bordelli Mystery
Marco Vichi
The new crime novel in the increasingly popular mystery series featuring Italian Detective Inspector
Bordelli, “a disillusioned anti-hero who is difficult to forget.” (Andrea Camilleri)
“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.”
—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.”

Florence, 1965. A man is found murdered, a pair of scissors

Plague Land
A Novel
Sarah Sykes
In this chilling historical novel, young girls go missing from a medieval English village and
Lord Oswald de Lacy must find the killer before tragedy strikes again.
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. Sarah
lives in England.

“James Wilde realizes his goal of turning an obscure historic character into a warrior legend.”
—Kirkus Reviews
England, 1071.
Five years have passed since the crushing Norman victory
at the Battle of Hastings. The country reels under the savage
rule of the new king, the one they call “the Bastard.” The
North has been left a wasteland—villages razed, innocents
put to the sword, land stolen. It seems no atrocity is too
great to ensure William’s grip upon the crown.
And now he turns his cold gaze east, toward the last
stronghold of the English resistance. After years of struggle,
he will brook no further challenge to his power: his vast
army masses and his siege machines are readied.
In their fortress on the Isle of Ely, the English have put
their faith in the only man who might defeat the murderous
invaders. He is called Hereward. He is a warrior and a
master tactician, as adept at warfare as his enemy, and
plans have been been set in motion for a bloody uprising
that will sweep the Norman king off the throne once and
for all.
But Hereward is missing. With their hopes of victory

Prepare to read all night.”—Lisa Gardner
“Mason Cross has created an enigmatic character in Carter
Blake. The writing is taut, intelligent, oozes suspense. A
highly impressive debut novel.”
—Matt Hilton, author of
the bestselling Joe Hunter thrillers
The first thing you should know about me is that my name
is not Carter Blake.
When Caleb Wardell, the infamous “Chicago Sniper,”
escapes from death row two weeks before his execution,
the FBI calls on the services of Carter Blake, a man with
certain specialized talents whose skills lie in finding those
who don’t want to be found. A man to whom Wardell is no
stranger.
Along with Elaine Banner, an ambitious special agent
juggling life as a single mother with her increasingly highflying career, Blake must track Wardell down as he cuts a
swath across America, apparently killing at random.
But Blake and Banner soon find themselves sidelined
from the case. And as they try desperately to second-guess
a man who kills purely for the thrill of it, they uncover a
hornet’s nest of lies and corruption. Now Blake must break
the rules and go head to head with the FBI if he is to stop
Wardell and expose a deadly conspiracy that will rock the
country.

A gripping narrative of nuclear mishaps and meltdowns around the globe, all of which have proven
pivotal to the advancement of nuclear science.
“Mahaffey guides us through more than a century of
atomic research, including misadventures with radioactive
elixirs and long-forgotten accidents. The compelling
tales unravel like slow-motion horror stories.”

The Summit
Bretton Woods, 1944: J. M. 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. Written with exceptional verve and narrative pace,

A Love Like Blood
A Novel
Marcus Sedgwick
The first novel for adults by hugely acclaimed YA author Marcus Sedgwick:
a gripping saga of love, obsession, and revenge.
Advance Praise:
“Classy, elegant, and gripping. A novel for a chilly night
with a cup of tea and a warm blanket where you start
reading and then go on and on, unable to stop.”
—John Ajvide Lindqvist, author of Let the Right One In
“A Love Like Blood manages to play with vampire tropes
while lifting the novel to stranger, more compelling heights.
A great read.”
—Joe R. Lansdale, bestselling author of

“This macabre fantasy follows a trail of blood across Europe
over fifty years. Stylish, thrilling and fast, you needn’t be a
horror fan to enjoy this.”
—The Sunday Mirror
“An excellent piece of story crafting with echoes of Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, this is a dark and macabre launch into
the world of adult fiction for Sedgwick.”
—Goodreads UK
In 1944, just days after the liberation of Paris, Charles Jackson sees something horrific: a man in a dark tunnel, apparently drinking the blood of a murdered woman. Terrified, he
does nothing, telling himself afterward that worse tragedies
happen during war.
Seven years later he returns to the city—and sees the
same man dining in the company of a fascinating, beautiful young woman. When they leave the restaurant, Charles
decides to follow. . . .
A Love Like Blood is a dark, compelling thriller about how
a man’s life can change in a moment and about where the

A Great and Terrible King
Edward I and the Forging of Britain
Marc Morris
The first major study on a truly formidable king, whose reign was one of the most dramatic and
important of the entire Middle Ages, leading to war and conquest on an unprecedented scale.
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.

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. Plenty of
other parts of the country are vulnerable, including the
Northwest, the Midwest, the South and—yes—even the Big
Apple.”
—The Christian Science Monitor
“Reads like good sci-fi, with colorful characters making
startling discoveries.”
—The Honolulu Star
It is a prominent geological feature that is almost impossible
to see unless you know where to look. Hundreds of thousands
of people drive across it every day. The San Andreas Fault is
everywhere, and primed for a colossal quake. For decades,
scientists have warned that such a sudden shifting of the
Earth’s crust is inevitable. In fact, it is a geologic necessity.
The San Andreas fault runs almost the entire length
of California, from the redwood forest to the east edge of
the Salton Sea. Along the way, it passes through two of the

Where Bond Was Born: Ian Fleming’s Jamaica

—The Los Angeles Times
“A heartbreaking book.” —The Washington Post Book World

Dinosaurs Without Bones
Dinosaur Lives Revealed by Their Trace Fossils
Anthony J. Martin
CSI meets Jurassic Park in a fascinating, revelatory look at dinosaurs and their world through the
65-million-year-old clues they left behind
“Even in the most active poses, skeletons can seem inert.
Fortunately for us, dinosaurs left us far more than just their
bones. Whispers in stone, trace fossils are moments of ancient life.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“Martin’s greatest talent may be in evoking the lost world
brought to light by dinosaur traces. Ichnology is a science
of absence, one that re-creates an entire ecosystem out of
a few dimples in some rocks. Martin is a skilled tracker and
a worthy guide.”
—Dallas Morning News
“Bubbles over with the joy of scientific discovery.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
What if we woke up one morning all of the dinosaur bones
in the world were gone? How would we know these iconic
animals had a 165-million-year history on earth? What clues
would be left to discern not only their presence, but how they
lived? What would it take for us to know how fast dinosaurs
moved, whether they lived underground, climbed trees, or
went for a swim?
Welcome to the world of ichnology, the study of traces
and trace fossils—tracks, burrows, nests, toothmarks, and
other vestiges of behavior—and how through these clues,

Marijuana Nation
One Man’s Chronicle of America Getting High: From Vietnam to Legalization
Roger Roffman
As public attitudes about pot undergo rapid change, Roger Roffman’s portrait of marijuana
in America rises above punditry and rhetoric.
“Roffman’s frankness and expertise make Marijuana
Nation different from many books in the ever-growing
cannabis catalog. 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.

Werewolf Cop
A Novel
Andrew Klavan
From Edgar Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Andrew Klavan, a supernatural
thriller about a good cop in the grips of an evil curse. In the tradition of Dexter and The Shield, the
first in a riveting trilogy about a crime-fighter on a quest to control the beast within.
Praise for Andrew Klavan:
“The most original American novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich.”
—Stephen King
“Klavan winds his tale tighter and tighter until the reader is hopelessly spellbound. Superb suspense by a
master storyteller.” —Clive Cussler
“The two Edgars Klavan owns testify to his excellence at thrillers.”

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?
Andrew Klavan is the Edgar Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of twenty-four novels,
including such bestsellers as Empire of Lies, Killer in the Wind, and True Crime (adapted into a film by Clint
Eastwood), and Don’t Say a Word (adapted into a film starring Michael Douglas). His most recent work is
Nightmare City (Thomas Nelson). His writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times,
and the Los Angeles Times, and he maintains a blog at PJ Media. Andrew lives in Santa Barbara.

Byron Easy
A Novel
Jude Cook
By a daring new literary talent, Nick Hornby meets Martin Amis in a witty, exuberant novel
following one man’s terminal train journey home.
“And now we have Byron Easy, the young hero of Jude Cook’s
first novel. Byron is a poet of the self-published and permanently wine-stained variety. Cook can clearly write. . . . He has
written something new. This is certainly bold—a proud flourish of anti-wisdom.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Ravishing in its evocations of beauty, sexual candor,
suspense, and unusual insights into the soul-battering
consequences of abuse and violence. Cook’s debut gathers
force as a rolling and rocking ballad of survival and love.”

Malcolm Dowd is almost positive he recognizes the young

will change them both forever.
Since his wife’s death years earlier in a car accident, Malcolm had dedicated himself to giving his two daughters the
stable, predictable childhood he did not have. But nothing

not Noah.

Baudelaire’s Revenge
A Novel

creepy Belgian dwarf are fascinating.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
“An intense historical crime thriller. The intricate plot, menacing atmosphere, and rich evocations of period Paris have
undeniable power.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Rich, atmospheric. This gritty, detail-rich mystery novel
joins history and literary history to create a sly, smart
revenge 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
“Mystery aficionados will love this pastiche of Wilkie
Collins and Edgar Allan Poe.”
—Library Journal
It is 1870, and Paris is in turmoil. As the social and political
turbulence of the Franco-Prussian 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, bringing to mind the brooding and tense atmosphere
of Patrick Susskind’s Perfume.

fought between engineers, chemists, code-breakers, physicists, doctors, mathematicians, and intelligence
gatherers. This hidden war was to make a positive and lasting contribution to how war was conducted on
land, at sea, and in the air—and, most importantly, life at home.
Secret Warriors provides an invaluable and fresh history of World War I, profiling a number of the key
incidents and figures which led to great leaps forward for the twentieth century. Told in a lively and colorful
narrative style, Secret Warriors reveals the unknown side of this tragic conflict.

Raid. He lives in England.

Seven Elements that Changed
the World
An Adventure of Ingenuity and Discovery
John Browne
“Mr. Browne uses his chosen elements to frame a wide-ranging look at scientific progress. It’s also a
lot of fun.”—The Wall Street Journal
“The human quest for knowledge has led to extraordinary progress. This book forces us to confront these
realities and does so in a unique and fascinating way.
It weaves science and humanity together in a way that
gives us new insight. This is an expertly crafted book by
a unique thinker.”
—Tony Blair
“Browne mixes in his travels and anecdotes from an impressive career to produce a lively, educational examination of
civilization’s building blocks.”
—Publishers Weekly
“The topics the author chooses to cover unfold in thoughtful detail, and the ample footnotes accompanying the text
are as diverting as they are helpful.”
—Kirkus Reviews
The fascinating story of how seven elements—iron, carbon,
gold, silver, uranium, titanium, and silicon—have changed
modern life, for good and ill.
With carbon we access heat, light, and mobility at the
flick of a switch, while silicon enables us to communicate
across the globe in an instant. Uranium is both productive (nuclear power) and destructive (nuclear bombs); iron
is the bloody weapon of war, but also the economic tool
of peace; our desire for alluring gold is the foundation of
global trade, but has also led to the death of millions. John

A Good Place to Hide
How One French Village Saved Thousands of Lives in World War II
Peter Grose
The untold story of an isolated French community that banded together to offer sanctuary and
hiding to over 3500 Jews during the tumult of World War II
Advance Praise:
“Peter Grose’s tale of the astounding ‘rescue village’ of
Chambon is not what you think it would be: no sentimental
yarn of deliverance of all those the Nazi regime had in
their sights, but a tale of practically delivered salvage of
the hunted. 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. And it is the story of a community of good men and women who offered sanctuary, kindness, solidarity, and hospitality to people in desperate need,
knowing full well the consequences to themselves.
Powerful and richly told, A Good Place to Hide speaks to
the goodness and courage of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

Piero’s Light
In Search of Piero della Francesca: A Renaissance Painter and the Revolution in Art, Science, and Religion
Larry Witham
The story of one remarkable artist of the early Italian Renaissance—a painter at the crossroads of
our modern revolutions in art, science, and religion—who remains a figure of enduring fascination
“Piero is very much a modern discovery, a man whose works
were ignored, forgotten, damaged and discarded for centuries
after his death. 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.

Murderous Minds
Exploring the Criminal Psychopathic Brain: Neurological Imaging and the Manifestation of Evil
Dean A. Haycock, Ph.D.
Is there a biological basis for evil? From neurological imaging to behavioral studies, this groundbreaking
study reveals what scientists are discovering about the psychopaths living among us.
“An informed, masterful account of the theory, research,
controversies, and issues surrounding the construct of psychopathy. 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. Haycock earned his Ph.D. in neurobiology from
Brown University and studied at The Rockefeller University

The Language of the Dead
A World War II Mystery
Stephen Kelly
As the shadow of World War II descends over Europe, Detective Inspector Thomas Lamb hunts for an
elusive killer behind the veil of a seemingly charming English village.
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?

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 hardboiled caper as deadly as it is delightful.
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).
Terry Mort did his undergraduate work in English literature
at Princeton University and his graduate work at the
University of Michigan. He is the author, most recently,

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.
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.
