Week of March 27, 2017

Paperback releases for the week of March 28th include END OF WATCH, the spectacular finale to Stephen King's trilogy that began with MR. MERCEDES (winner of the Edgar Award) and FINDERS KEEPERS; the hilariously frank memoir LUST & WONDER, Augusten Burroughs' intimate look at the driving forces in his life; VINEGAR GIRL, Anne Tyler's inspired, witty and irresistible contemporary take on one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies; and THE MURDER OF MARY RUSSELL by Laurie R. King, in which Sherlock Holmes must put aside his anguish over his wife Mary Russell’s death to uncover the truth about his longtime and trusted housekeeper.

Anne Tyler, author of Vinegar Girl

After years out in the academic wilderness, Dr. Battista is on the verge of a breakthrough. His research could help millions. There’s only one problem: His brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, all would be lost. When Dr. Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he’s relying on his daughter, Kate, to help him. Kate is furious: this time he’s really asking too much. But will she be able to resist the two men’s touchingly ludicrous campaign to bring her around?
