The Red Book The Black Book Thrillers, Book 2

By James Patterson and David Ellis Read by Edoardo Ballerini For Detective Billy Harney, getting shot in the head, stalked by a state’s attorney, and accused of murder by his fellow cops is a normal week on the job. The hero of the mega-bestseller The Black Book returns in his toughest case ever.

“Brilliantly twisty…Many readers will agree with Patterson that this is the best book [he’s] written in twenty- ve years.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Top-drawer crime ction. The authors are tough on the hero, but the hero is tough.”

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

To Harney, the newest member of Chicago PD’s elite strike force—Special Operations Section (SOS)—getting shot in the head, stalked by a state’s attorney, and accused of murder by his fellow cops is all part of breaking a case.

So when a drive-by shooting on the Chicago’s west side turns political, he leads the way to a quick solve. But Harney’s instincts—his father was once chief of detectives and his twin sister, Patti, is also on the force— run deep. As a population hungry for justice threatens to riot, he realizes that the three known victims are hardly the only ones.

When Harney starts asking questions about who’s to blame, the easy answers prove to be the wrong ones. On the ip side, the less he seems to know, the longer he can keep his clandestine investigation going … until Harney’s quest to expose the evil that’s rotting the city from the inside out takes him to the one place he vowed never to return: his own troubled past.

JAMES PATTERSON is one of the most popular writers of all time, with more than 375 million copies of his books sold worldwide.

But when Florence wakes up in the hospital after a terrible car crash, and Helen is dead, she begins to imagine what it might be like to ‘upgrade’ into not only Helen’s life but also that of Helen’s bestselling pseudonym, Maud Dixon.

This Is the Fire What I Say to My Friends About Racism

By Don Lemon Read by Don Lemon Don Lemon brings his vast audience and experience as a reporter and a Black man to today’s most urgent question: How can we end racism in America in our lifetimes?

“Lemon’s call-to-action is a soaring examination of the causes of racist violence and injustice past and present.”

—Booklist

“Astutely diagnoses our nation’s greatest malady…Long on context and analysis, this is a vital book for these times.”

—Kirkus Reviews

The host of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon is more popular than ever. As America’s only Black prime-time anchor, Lemon and his daily monologues on racism and antiracism, on the failures of the Trump administration and of so many of our leaders, and on America’s systemic aws speak for his millions of fans. Now, in an urgent, deeply personal, riveting plea, he shows us all how deep our problems lie, and what we can do to begin to x them.

Beginning with a letter to one of his Black nephews, he proceeds with reporting and re ections on his slave ancestors, his upbringing in the shadows of segregation, and his adult confrontations with politicians, activists, and scholars. In doing so, Lemon offers a searing and poetic ultimatum to America. He visits the slave port where a direct ancestor was shackled and shipped to America. He recalls a slave uprising in Louisiana, just a few miles from his birthplace. And he takes us to the heart of the 2020 protests in New York City. As he writes to his young nephew: We must resist racism every single day. We must resist it with love.

DON LEMON hosts CNN Tonight with Don Lemon and serves as a correspondent across CNN’s US programming. Before joining the network in 2006, he was a correspondent for The Today Show and NBC Nightly News and an anchor on Weekend Today and MSNBC.

“Royal watchers will be enthralled.”

—Publishers Weekly

They were the closest of sisters and the best of friends. But when, in a quixotic twist of fate, their uncle Edward Vlll decided to abdicate the throne, the dynamic between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered. Forever more Margaret would have to curtsey to the sister she called ‘Lillibet.’ And bow to her wishes.

Elizabeth would always look upon her younger sister’s antics with a kind of stoical amusement, but Margaret’s struggle to nd a place and position inside the royal system—and her fraught relationship with its expectations—was often a source of tension.

From the idyll of their cloistered early life, through their hidden wartime lives, into the divergent paths they took following their father’s death and Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne, this book explores their relationship over the years. Andrew Morton’s latest biography offers unique insight into these two drastically different sisters—one resigned to duty and responsibility, the other resistant to it—and the lasting impact they have had on the Crown, the royal family, and the ways it adapted to the changing mores of the twentieth century.

ANDREW MORTON is the author of numerous biographies of celebrities as well as the British royal family. Four of his books have made the #1 New York Times bestsellers list.

Acts of Desperation

By Megan Nolan Read by Lauren Coe Heralding the arrival of “a huge literary talent” (Karl Ove Knausgaard), Megan Nolan’s riveting debut is “a blistering anti-romance” (Catherine Lacey) about love addiction and what it does to us.

“A love story like no other.”

—Karl Ove Knausgaard, New York Times bestselling author

“Remarkable…This mesmerizes from the rst page.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In the rst scene of this provocative gut-punch of a novel, our unnamed narrator meets a magnetic writer named Ciaran and falls, against her better judgment, completely in his power. After a brief, all-consuming romance he abruptly rejects her, sending her into a tailspin of jealous obsession and longing. If he ever comes back to her, she resolves to hang onto him and his love at all costs, even if it destroys her…

Part breathless confession, part lucid critique, Acts of Desperation renders a consciousness split between rebellion and submission, between escaping degradation and eroticizing it, between loving and being lovable. With unsettling, electric precision, Nolan dissects one of life’s most elusive mysteries: Why do we want what we want, and how do we want it?

Combining the intellectual excitement of Rachel Cusk with the emotional rawness of Elena Ferrante, Acts of Desperation interrogates the nature of desire, power, and toxic relationships, challenging us to reckon honestly with our own insatiability.

MEGAN NOLAN is an author whose writing includes essays, ction, and reviews published widely including in the New York Times, the White Review, the Sunday Times, the Village Voice, the London Guardian, and in the literary anthology Winter Papers. Regular columns of her cultural commentary appear in i newspaper, Huck Magazine and the New Statesman. Acts of Desperation is her rst novel.

A community in the Piedmont of North Carolina rises in outrage as a county initiative draws students from the largely Black east side of town into predominantly white high schools on the west. When Gee and Noelle join the school play meant to bridge the divide between new and old students, their paths collide, and their two seemingly disconnected families begin to form deeply knotted, messy ties that will shape the trajectory of their adult lives.

The Road Less Traveled The Secret Battle to End the Great War, 1916-1917

By Philip Zelikow Read by Philip Zelikow

“Outstanding revisionist history demonstrating what could have been a far more peaceful twentieth century.”

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Zelikow reveals one of the last great mysteries of the Great War: that it never should have lasted so long or cost so much. During a pivotal few months in the middle of the First World War, all sides—Germany, Britain, and America—faced no good military options and believed the war could be concluded. Zelikow describes how tantalizingly close some farsighted statesmen came to ending the war, saving millions of lives, and avoiding the total war that dimmed hopes for a better world.

PHILIP ZELIKOW is a professor of history and governance and a former career diplomat.

Not just a US story: Zelikow draws on international research and archives from Germany, the UK, and the US Recommended by Library Journal "for all extensive history collections” Zelikow worked on international policy in each of the ve administrations from Reagan through Obama.

North by Shakespeare A Rogue Scholar's Quest for the Truth Behind the Bard's Work

By Michael Blanding

“How Shakespearean was Shakespeare?…An entertaining look at a literary iconoclast.”

—Kirkus Reviews

From the acclaimed author of The Map Thief comes the true story of a self-taught Shakespeare sleuth, Dennis McCarthy, and his quest to prove his theory about the source of the English language’s most famous plays. Using plagiarism software, McCarthy believes Thomas North’s published and unpublished writings were the source of Shakespeare’s plot lines seemingly lifted straight from North’s colorful life.

MICHAEL BLANDING is a Boston-based investigative journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Wired, Slate, Boston Globe Magazine, and other publications. He has taught feature writing at Tufts University, Emerson College, and GrubStreet Writers.

The 1950s are on the horizon, and Archer is in dire need of a fresh start after a nearly fatal detour in Poca City. So Archer hops on a bus and begins the long journey out west to California, where rumor has it there is money to be made if you’re hard-working, lucky, criminal—or all three.

Along the way, Archer stops in Reno, where a stroke of fortune delivers him a wad of cash and an eye-popping blood-red 1939 Delahaye convertible—plus a companion for the nal leg of the journey, an aspiring actress named Liberty Callahan who is planning to try her luck in Hollywood. But when the two arrive in Bay Town, California, Archer quickly discovers that the hordes of people who ocked there seeking fame and fortune landed in a false paradise that instead caters to their worst addictions and fears.

Archer’s rst stop is a P.I. office where he is hoping to apprentice with a legendary private eye and former FBI agent named Willie Dash. He lands the job, and immediately nds himself in the thick of a potential scandal: a blackmail case involving a wealthy well-connected politician running for mayor that soon spins into something even more sinister. As bodies begin falling, Archer and Dash must in ltrate the world of brothels, gambling dens, drug operations, and long-hidden secrets, descending into the rotten bones of a corrupt town that is selling itself as the promised land—but might actually be the road to perdition, and Archer’s nal resting place.

“Highly recommended.”

—Library Journal (starred review) on A Duke by Any Other Name

“I have come to ask you to kill me, my lord.”

Miss Abigail Abbott desperately needs to disappear—permanently— and the only person she trusts to help her do that is Lord Stephen Wentworth, heir to the Duke of Walden. Stephen is brilliant, charming, and—when he needs to be—absolutely ruthless. So ruthless that he proposes marriage instead of “murder” to keep Abigail safe.

Stephen was smitten the instant his sister introduced him to Abigail, a woman with the dignity and determination of a duchess and the courage of a lioness. When she accepts his courtship of convenience, he also discovers she kisses like his most intimate wish come true. For Abigail, their arrangement is a sham to escape her dangerous enemies.

For Stephen, it’s his one chance to share a lifetime with the lady of his dreams—if only he can convince her his love is real.

GRACE BURROWES writes Georgian, Regency, Scottish Victorian, and contemporary romances in both novella and novel lengths. Her debut, The Heir, was a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2010, and its follow-up, The Soldier, was named a 2011 Publishers Weekly Best Spring Romance.

21st Birthday The Women’s Murder Club Series, Book 21

By James Patterson and Maxine Paetro Read by January LaVoy Lindsay vows to protect a twenty-year-old victim long enough to see her twenty- rst birthday.

“Smart characters, shocking twists, and a villain so evil you count down to the very last page to discover what will happen next.”

—Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author, on The 18th Abduction

SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer has sworn to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic. As Lindsay prepares to celebrate her own daughter’s birthday, she clashes with rising Chief Charlie Clapper over a family case.

When a distraught mother pleads with Chronicle reporter Cindy Thomas to investigate the disappearance of her daughter, Linda, and baby granddaughter, Lorrie, Cindy immediately loops in SFPD. But Linda’s schoolteacher husband, Lucas Burke, tells a con icting story that paints Linda as a wayward wife, not a missing person. And there’s reason to believe he may be telling the truth.

While M.E. Claire Washburn harbors theories that run counter to the police investigation of the Burke case, ADA Yuki Castellano sizes Lucas up as a textbook domestic offender—until he puts forward a theory of his own that unexpectedly connects the dots on a constellation of copycat killings. If what Lucas tells law enforcement has even a grain of truth, there isn’t a woman in the state of California who’s safe from the reach of such an unspeakable threat.

“A truly rewarding addition to the bookshelves of lm lovers everywhere.”

—Stephen Fry, actor and author of Mythos

Most people know Andrew McCarthy from his movie roles in Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo’s Fire, Weekend at Bernie’s, and Less than Zero, and as a charter member of Hollywood’s Brat Pack. The iconic group of ingenues and heartthrobs that included Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, and Demi Moore, and has come to represent both a genre of lm and an era of pop culture.

In his memoir Brat: An ‘80s Story, McCarthy focuses his gaze on that singular moment in time. The result is a revealing look at coming of age in a maelstrom, reckoning with con icted ambition, innocence, addiction, and masculinity. New York City of the 1980’s is brought to vivid life in these pages—scoring loose joints in Washington Square Park and skipping school in favor of the dark revival houses of the Village where he fell in love with the movies that would change his life.

Filled with personal revelations of innocence lost to heady days in Hollywood with John Hughes and an iconic cast of characters, Brat is a surprising and intimate story of an outsider caught up in a most unwitting success.

ANDREW MCCARTHY is an award-winning writer, actor, and director. He is an editor-at-large at National Geographic Traveler and has written for the New York Times, Atlantic, Wall Street Journal, and others.

“Hilderbrand steers this tightly written novel with ease and skill…Less a story about a secretive affair and more a tale of sweet nostalgia and fate, this title will be popular with a wide audience.”

—Library Journal on 28 Summers

On a perfect June day, Vivian Howe, author of 13 beach novels and mother of three nearly grown children, is killed in a hit-and-run car accident while jogging near her home on Nantucket. She ascends to the Beyond where she’s assigned to a Person named Martha, who allows Vivi to watch what happens below for one last summer. Vivi also is granted three “nudges” to change the outcome of events on earth, and with her daughter Willa on her third miscarriage, Carson partying until all hours, and Leo currently “off again” with his high-maintenance girlfriend, she’ll have to think carefully where to use them.

From the Beyond, Vivi watches “The Chief” Ed Kapenash investigate her death, but her greatest worry is her nal book, which contains a secret from her own youth that could be disastrous for her reputation.

But when hidden truths come to light, Vivi’s family will have to sort out their past and present mistakes – with or without a nudge of help from above—while Vivi nally lets them grow without her.

With all of Elin’s trademark beach scenes, mouth-watering meals, and picture-perfect homes, plus a heartfelt message—the people we lose never really leave us—Golden Girl is a beach book unlike any other.

ELIN HILDERBRAND is the New York Times bestselling author of numerous novels, including the Nantucket series, the Winter series, and over a dozen stand-alone novels, as well as two novellas. Her book Barefoot was a nalist for the 2008 Romantic Novel of the Year Award.

Today, when killing the enemy can seem palpably risk-free and tantamount to playing a violent video game, what constitutes warfare? What is the effect of remote combat on individual soldiers? And what are the unforeseen repercussions? Phelps, former commander of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) unit, addresses these questions and others. Exploring the ethics of remote military engagement, misconceptions about PTSD among RPA operators, and the specter of military weaponry controlled by robots, his book is a compelling reminder that it should always be difficult to kill another human being lest we risk losing what makes us human.

Brandon P. Fleming grew up in an abusive home and turned to the streets and drug deals by fourteen. Crucially, he found debate, which became the means by which he transformed his life and the tool he would use to transform the lives of others—teaching underserved kids to be intrusive in places that are not inclusive, eventually at Harvard University, where he would make champions and history. Through his personal narrative, readers witness Fleming’s transformation, self-education, and how he takes what he learns about words and power to help others like himself. Miseducated is an honest memoir about resilience, visibility, role models, and overcoming all expectations.

BRANDON P. FLEMING is the assistant coach of debate at Harvard University and founder of the nationally acclaimed Harvard Diversity Project. In 2020, Fleming was recognized by Forbes magazine on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.

Print run: 40,000 In 2020 Fleming was named to the Root's list of 100 Most In uential African Americans Fleming speaks regularly to corporations, educators, teachers' orgs, as well as to Fortune 100 corporations on education, race, mental health, and using failure to catalyze success

Bestselling biographer Stephen Davis tells the story of Duran Duran, the quintessential band of the 1980s. Their pretty boy looks made them the stars of edgling MTV, but it was their brilliant musicianship that led to a string of number-one hits. Davis traces their roots to the austere 1970s British malaise that spawned both the Sex Pistols and Duran Duran—two seemingly opposite music extremes. By the end of the decade, they had sold 60 million albums; today, they’ve sold over 100 million albums—and counting. Davis offers a de nitive account of one of the last untold sagas in rock and roll history.

STEPHEN DAVIS is America’s preeminent rock journalist and biographer, having written numerous bestsellers on rock bands, including the smash hit Hammer of the Gods.

Print run: 75,000 New York Times bestselling author A treat for diehard fans, new admirers, and music lovers of any age Davis is far and away the bestselling rock biographer in publishing history This book is based on the author's extensive interviews with the band
