A few months ago, Jim Butcher presented us with PEACE TALKS. At the time, we knew that BATTLE GROUND wasn’t far behind. That previous novel laid the groundwork for what comes in these pages. In much the same way that you take the long, slow ride up the chain to the peak of a rollercoaster and hesitate that half-second before the plunge, PEACE TALKS got readers there. Now, with BATTLE GROUND, it is a full headlong plunge, with loops and corkscrews, and there is never a moment to catch your breath again before the end. Read More

Cary Grant emerges as a modest egotist, a bold introvert and a handsome man who seemed unaware of his dashing good looks in this sweeping biography by bestselling author Scott Eyman. Read More
Teaser
Born Archibald Leach in 1904, Cary Grant came to America as a teenaged acrobat to find fame and fortune, but he was always haunted by his past. His father was a feckless alcoholic, and his mother was committed to an asylum when Archie was 11. He believed her to be dead until he was informed she was alive when he was 31. Because of this experience, Grant would have difficulty forming close attachments throughout his life. He married five times and had numerous affairs. Despite a remarkable degree of success, Grant remained deeply conflicted about his past, his present, his basic identity, and even the public that worshipped him. Drawing on Grant’s own papers, extensive archival research, and interviews with family and friends, this is the definitive portrait of a movie immortal.

About the Book
Film historian and acclaimed New York Times bestselling biographer Scott Eyman has written the definitive, “captivating” (Associated Press) biography of Hollywood legend Cary Grant, one of the most accomplished --- and beloved --- actors of his generation, who remains as popular as ever today.
Born Archibald Leach in 1904, he came to America as a teenaged acrobat to find fame and fortune, but he was always haunted by his past. His father was a feckless alcoholic, and his mother was committed to an asylum when Archie was 11 years old. He believed her to be dead until he was informed she was alive when he was 31 years old. Because of this experience, Grant would have difficulty forming close attachments throughout his life. He married five times and had numerous affairs.
Despite a remarkable degree of success, Grant remained deeply conflicted about his past, his present, his basic identity, and even the public that worshipped him in movies such as Gunga Din, Notorious and North by Northwest.
This “estimable and empathetic biography” (The Washington Post) draws on Grant’s own papers, extensive archival research, and interviews with family and friends, making it a definitive and “complex portrait of Hollywood’s original leading man” (Entertainment Weekly).

Editorial Content for The Captain: A Memoir

Reviewer (text)
To quote John Greenleaf Whittier, “For all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: ‘It might have been!’”
This sums up the career of David Wright, the best third baseman --- if not overall player --- in the history of the New York Mets, who was forced to retire in 2018 at the age of 35 because of injuries. These disappointments account for a fair portion of THE CAPTAIN --- he was just the fourth member of the team to be given that honor --- which is almost a throwback to the player memoirs of the pre-BALL FOUR era.

Teaser
David Wright played his entire Major League Baseball career for the New York Mets. A quick fan favorite from Virginia who then earned his stripes in New York, Wright came back time and again from injury and demonstrated the power of hard work, total commitment and an infinite love of the game. Wright’s stats are one thing. He was a seven-time All-Star, a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, and a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner. He holds many Mets franchise records and was nicknamed "Captain America" after his performance in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. But there is more: The walk-offs. The Barehand. The Subway Series and World Series home runs. And the electricity that swept through Shea Stadium and then Citi Field whenever number 5, “the Captain,” was in the game.
