• Jeffrey Archer- An Eye for an Eye
    Nov 16 2024

    AN EYE FOR AN EYE (HarperCollins) is the penultimate in the William Warwick series, a remarkable character study of two men—William Warwick and Miles Faulkner—and a modern take on the Holmes/Moriarity dynamic. Warwick is now a Chief Superintendent at Scotland Yard, now head of the Royalty and Diplomatic Protection Unit, and Miles Faulkner is behind bars. In this dance of morality between these two men, Archer has opened rich narrative possibilities in the dark interlocking network of power and money around the world, from arms deals to the art market. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jeffrey Archer, whose novels include the Clifton Chronicles, the William Warwick novels and Kane and Abel, is one of the world's bestselling authors, with sales of over 275 million copies around the world. Famous for his discipline as a writer who works on up to fourteen drafts of each book, Jeffrey also brings a vast amount of insider knowledge to his books. Whether it’s his own career in politics, his passionate interest in art, or the wealth of fascinating background detail – inspired by the extraordinary network of friends he has built over a lifetime at the heart of Britain’s establishment – his novels provide a fascinating glimpse into a range of closed worlds. A member of the House of Lords, the author is married to Dame Mary Archer, and they have two sons, two granddaughters and three grandsons. He splits his time between London, Grantchester in Cambridge, and Mallorca where he writes the first draft of each new novel.

  • Kim Mager- A Hunger to Kill
    Nov 6 2024

    On procedurals like Law & Order SVU, viewers often note that the plots are ripped from the headlines.

Detective Kim Mager, a 30-year veteran of the Ashland City Police in Ohio, knows firsthand what it’s like to take down some of the worst criminals imaginable. In A Hunger to Kill: A Serial Killer, a Determined Detective, and the Quest for a Confession That Changed a Small Town Forever, co-written with New York Times bestselling author Lisa Pulitzer, she reveals how she closed in on—and broke—one of Ohio’s most infamous serial killers.

  • Lev Grossman- The Bright Sword
    Nov 2 2024

    It’s been ten years since the conclusion of the Magicians trilogy and over fifty years since the last major reimagining of King Arthur. Now, one of our most acclaimed literary fantasy writers is taking up the sword, and he’s written a tale that makes Arthur urgent, exciting, and timely again. His story has been told and retold for more than 1,400 years, always becoming a mirror for the world it’s being told to and a lens for examining the contemporary moment. When Grossman began writing, he asked himself: What would an Arthur for this millennium look like? What would we learn about him, and what could he tell us about the world we live in now? The result is THE BRIGHT SWORD, a triumphant and richly imagined tale – one that’s both steeped in tradition and sheds fresh light on a much-beloved piece of popular culture. THE BRIGHT SWORD begins with a gifted young knight named Collum, who’s headed to Camelot to compete for a spot on the Round Table – only to discover that he’s too late. Arthur is dead, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table survive. And they aren’t the heroes of legend, like Lancelot or Gawain. They’re the oddballs, from the edges of the stories, like Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthur’s fool, who was knighted as a joke. They’re joined by Nimue, who was Merlin’s apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill. Together this ragtag fellowship will set out to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance. But Arthur’s death has revealed Britain’s fault lines. God has abandoned it, and the fairies and monsters and old gods are returning, led by Arthur’s half-sister Morgan le Fay. Kingdoms are turning on each other, Camelot is under attack, and rival factions are forming around the disgraced Lancelot and the fallen Queen Guinevere. It is up to Collum and his companions to reclaim Excalibur, solve the mysteries of this ruined world, and make it whole again. But before they can restore Camelot they’ll have to learn the truth of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell, and lay to rest the ghosts of his troubled family and of Britain’s dark past. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lev Grossman is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Magicians trilogy—The Magicians, The Magician King, and The Magician’s Land—which has been published in thirty countries and adapted as a TV show that ran for five seasons on SYFY. He is also a screenwriter and the author of two children’s books, The Golden Swift and The Silver Arrow, and his journalism has appeared in Time, Vanity Fair, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, among many other places. He lives with his wife and children in New York City.

    About the author

    William Rawlings was born, raised and lives in Sandersville, Georgia, home to his family for more than two centuries. His first five books were suspense novels set in rural Georgia. Turning then to non-fiction, he is the author of three subsequent works of Georgia (and Southern) history published by Mercer University Press. His books consistently garner excellent reviews, and he has been the recipient of a number of writing awards. One constant theme in Rawlings's writing is a well-defined sense of place, especially in relation to the landscape of rural Georgia. He states, “One of life’s greatest pageants is the continuity of life in small Southern towns. Characters wander in and out, plying their intrigues and playing their roles, both major and minor. There’s hardly a need for fiction, as the truth is oftentimes more bizarre. What more inspiration could a writer ask for?” This approach to the floating opera of Southern life adds dimension and depth to Rawlings's books. His most recent works include a suspense novel set in Savannah titled "The Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes," and a true-crime thriller "Six Inches Deeper. Both were published by Mercer University Press in 2019 and 2020, respectively. An eleventh book, "Lighthouses of the Georgia Coast," is scheduled for release in early 2021.
