A stunning successor to his best selling novel Peace Like a River, Leif Enger's new work is a rugged and nimble story about an aging train robber on a quest to reconcile the claims of love and judgment on his life, and the failed writer who goes with him.
In 1915 Minnesota, novelist Monte Becket has lost his sense of purpose. His only success long behind him, Monte lives simply with his wife and son. But when he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale, a new world of opportunity and experience presents itself. Glendon has spent years in obscurity, but the guilt he harbors for abandoning his wife, Blue, over two decades ago, has lured him from hiding. As the modern age marches swiftly forward, Glendon aims to travel back to his past--heading to California to seek Blue's forgiveness. Beguiled and inspired, Monte soon finds himself leaving behind his own family to embark for the unruly West with his fugitive guide. As they desperately flee from the relentless Charles Siringo, an ex-Pinkerton who's been hunting Glendon for years, Monte falls ever further from his family and the law, to be tempered by a fiery adventure from which he may never get home.

FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF NEED AND CAPTIVATE People keep changing who they are & defining themselves by their own choices, and that's cool most of the time, but not all the time. No, it's not cool all the time at all.
Belle is closing in on her last few months of high school and things are much better than they were before. Well, almost. Belle's not too sure about all the sureness that other people seem to have about things like labels (popular, slut, jock), change (college, real adulthood, new friends, lost friends), and love (oh yeah, that). Not to mention, there's THE BIG PROBLEM with Tom and other-well, unexpected-surprises.

Here you will find slyly twisted alternate histories, fractured fairy tales, topical science fiction, and edgy urban fantasy. In "Daltharee," World Fantasy Award-winning author Jeffrey Ford spins a chilling tale of a city in a bottle--and the demented genius who put it there. In "Sonny Liston Takes the Fall," John W. Campbell Award-winning author Elizabeth Bear pens a poignant and eerie requiem for the heavyweight forever associated with his controversial loss to Cassius Clay. From hot new writer Margo Lanagan comes "The... Views: 469

Once again, Suzi must use her locked-room mystery-solving skills to figure out how her nemesis (attorney Morris Arthur) is involved in the apparent suicide of a well-known author, who was found in his study, face down on his desk, shot in the head, with the alleged suicide weapon in his hand. To make matters more difficult to understand, up until the time of his death, an entire living-room full of guests were waiting for him to walk down the hall from his study, from where they heard him using his old manual typewriter, and even communicated with him via email, from the living room computer station. The police chief and district attorney among the guests at the cocktail party, and uniformed officers were in the hallway, to confirm the fact that no-one entered or exited the deceased’s study for at least 20 minutes before the suicide shot was heard. Peter hopes that this case is resolved quickly and that Suzi’s homicide theory is proved wrong, because he is becoming involved with the deceased’s widow, having helped her with advice on her desired divorce. Will Suzi be right, or is Peter doomed to another failed relationship? This one’s also got a surprise ending and an amazing solution that only Suzi was able to figure out. As an added bonus, at the end of this book is what has been called the best locked-room mystery ever written: Jacques Futrelle’s The Problem in Cell 13, and any person interested in locked-room mysteries should read it and see the type of genre that inspired the author of this 9th Peter Sharp Legal Mystery. All thirteen of the Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries are now available in both print and Kindle versions. Views: 466
From one of our most celebrated masters, a touching, comic, deeply humane collection of linked stories about surprising developments in a gated community
“I find myself inclined to set down for whomever, before my memory goes kaput altogether, some account of our little community, in particular of what Margie and I consider to have been its most interesting hour: the summer of the Peeping Tom.” Something has disturbed the comfortably retired denizens of a pristine Florida-style gated community in Chesapeake Bay country. In the dawn of the new millennium and the evening of their lives, these empty nesters discover that their tidy enclave can be as colorful, shocking, and surreal as any of John Barth’s fictional locales. From the high jinks of a toga party to marital infidelities, a baffling suicide pact, and the sudden, apocalyptic destruction of the short-lived development, Barth brings mordant humor and compassion to the lives of characters we all know well. From “one of the most prodigally gifted comic novelists writing in English today” (Newsweek), The Development is John Barth at his most accessible and sympathetic best. Views: 466
