Nothing has ever truly terrified Jack Taylor until he confronts an evil coterie named Headstone, who have committed a series of random, insane, violent crimes in Galway, Ireland.

Nothing has ever truly terrified Jack Taylor until he confronts an evil coterie named Headstone, who have committed a series of random, insane, violent crimes in Galway, Ireland.

Acclaimed Irish crime writer Ken Bruen has won numerous awards for his hard-charging, dark thrillers, which have been translated into ten languages. In HEADSTONE, an elderly priest is nearly beaten to death and a special-needs boy is brutally attacked. Evil has many guises and Jack Taylor has encountered most of them. But nothing before has ever truly terrified him until he confronts an evil coterie named Headstone, who have committed a series of random, insane, violent crimes in Galway, Ireland.

Most would see a headstone as a marker of the dead, but this organization seems like it will act as a death knell to every aspect of Jack’s life. Jack’s usual allies, Ridge and Stewart, are also in the line of terror. An act of appalling violence alerts them to the sleeping horror, but this realization may be too late, as Headstone barrels along its deadly path right to the center of Jack’s life and the heart of Galway. A terrific read from a writer called “a Celtic Dashiell Hammett,” HEADSTONE is an excellent addition to the Jack Taylor series (Philadelphia Inquirer).

In 1957, a photograph was taken of a black high school girl walking stoically in front of Little Rock Central High School, being screamed at by a white girl. In this gripping book, David Margolick recounts how the photograph has unexpectedly followed both women throughout their lives.

In 1957, a photograph was taken of a black high school girl walking stoically in front of Little Rock Central High School, being screamed at by a white girl. In this gripping book, David Margolick recounts how the photograph has unexpectedly followed both women throughout their lives.

The names Elizabeth Eckford and Hazel Bryan Massery may not be well known, but the image of them from September 1957 surely is: a black high school girl, dressed in white, walking stoically in front of Little Rock Central High School, and a white girl standing directly behind her, face twisted in hate, screaming racial epithets. This famous photograph captures the full anguish of desegregation --- in Little Rock and throughout the South --- and an epic moment in the civil rights movement.

In this gripping book, David Margolick tells the remarkable story of two separate lives unexpectedly braided together. He explores how the haunting picture of Elizabeth and Hazel came to be taken, its significance in the wider world, and why, for the next half-century, neither woman has ever escaped from its long shadow. He recounts Elizabeth’s struggle to overcome the trauma of her hate-filled school experience, and Hazel’s long efforts to atone for a fateful, horrible mistake. The book follows the painful journey of the two as they progress from apology to forgiveness to reconciliation and, amazingly, to friendship. This friendship foundered, then collapsed --- perhaps inevitably --- over the same fissures and misunderstandings that continue to permeate American race relations more than half a century after the unforgettable photograph at Little Rock. And yet, as Margolick explains, a bond between Elizabeth and Hazel, silent but complex, endures.

Critically acclaimed memoirist Wade Rouse has gathered some of America's best known humorists --- authors, comedians and actors --- to offer biting commentary on what it means to share a life, and a heart with a dog.

Critically acclaimed memoirist Wade Rouse has gathered some of America's best known humorists --- authors, comedians and actors --- to offer biting commentary on what it means to share a life, and a heart, with a dog. From battling for bed space to trying to transform a pampered NYC pup into a Texas rawhide, and from helping a shelter rescue navigate through her new life to interpreting dog run dynamics (and politics), being a canine companion has challenges as tough as any agility course, but laughter is just a tail-wag away.

Begun by mystery master Mickey Spillane in the late 1960s and completed four decades later by his friend Max Allan Collins, THE CONSUMMATA follows Morgan the Raider in a breathtaking chase to retrieve a huge sum of money stolen from the struggling Cuban exiles who rescued him. 

Compared to the $40 million the cops think he stole, $75,000 may not sound like much. But it's all the money in the world to the struggling Cuban exiles of Miami who rescued Morgan the Raider. So when it's snatched by a man the Cubans trusted, Morgan sets out to get it back. 

A simple favor but as the bodies pile up --- dead men and beautiful women --- the Raider wonders what kind of Latin hell he's gotten himself into, and just who or what is the mysterious Consummata? 

Begun by mystery master Mickey Spillane in the late 1960s and completed four decades later by his friend Max Allan Collins (ROAD TO PERDITION), THE CONSUMMATA is the long-awaited follow-up to Spillane's bestseller THE DELTA FACTOR --- a breathtaking tale of treachery, sensuality and violence, showcasing two giants of crime fiction at their pulse-pounding, two-fisted best.

A district attorney wakes up with no memory of the previous night to find that he has made the front page of the newspaper --- as a murder victim. 

From the internationally acclaimed author of THE 13TH HOUR, a thriller about a district attorney who wakes up with no memory of the previous night to find that he has made the front page of the newspaper --- as a murder victim.

Richard Doetsch is a bright new star in the thriller genre, penning novels that have sold clear across the globe and have attracted the serious attention of Hollywood filmmakers. In HALF-PAST DAWN, Doetsch gives us his characteristic blend of white-knuckle plot twists and characters that are as real as life.

For Harper Keller, it is the morning from hell. He wakes up, gazes in the bathroom mirror, and sees a nasty, half-healed gash over his right eye. Even worse, his shoulder has a hastily stitched wound that looks suspiciously like the result of a bullet. With his wife and two daughters out of the house, he is alone when he picks up the morning paper to see a photo of a smashed guardrail beneath a headline that reads, “District Attorney, Harper Keller, Dead.” From this mind-shattering opening, readers embark on a twisting, turning adventure as Harper struggles to learn not only what happened to him, but also to his missing wife. And just when he thinks he has put all the pieces together, a final twist changes everything.

Full of double-crosses and cliffhangers, HALF-PAST DAWN is pure entertainment and further proof of Richard Doetsch’s stature as a preeminent master of the thriller.
