Imperfect

An Improbable Life

Ballantine Books

Jim Abbott and Tim Brown The unforgettable memoir of pitcher Jim Abbott, the one-handed kid from Flint who became a college All Star, an Olympic gold medalist, and a Major League ace, Imperfect is a story of chasing an impossible dream and overcoming unparalleled adversity.

On September 4, 1993, Jim Abbott took the mound at Yankee Stadium. By the time he stepped down a few hours later he had made history. He was the 234th Major League baseball pitcher to throw a no-hitter; he was the first--and remains the only--to do it with one hand. Born imperfect, Abbott was on that day nearly perfect on the mound. His life story, told in his own compelling voice, plays out in these pages inning by inning, the no-hitter serving as the framework for the far broader narrative of his unlikely life.

A ONE-OF-A-KIND LIFE: Born with one hand and a golden arm, Jim Abbott experienced a story of baseball success unlike any other. Despite his disability, Jim became a high school standout, a college All Star, an Olympic gold medalist, and a Major League ace.

There will never be another Jim Abbott, and his story is affecting, satisfying, and inspiring.

AN AMAZING READ: Honest, generous, and insightful, akin in its tone to bestselling sports memoirs like Tony Dungy's Quiet Strength and Andre Agassi's Open, this memoir--written with award-winning sports writer Tim Brown--chronicles the career of a unique athlete in a rich and dramatic fashion.

TWO AUDIENCES: Imperfect is, at once, a pitcher's memoir of making it to the bigs and the story of a man who overcame an overwhelming disability in very public fashion. It will appeal to sports fans and to those interested in knowing how Abbott overcame such a physical handicap.

MANY MARKETS: Abbott was born in Flint, Michigan, played college ball in Ann Arbor, began his career with (and still works with) the Angels in Anaheim, and had his best moment on the mound in New York, at Yankee Stadium. While Abbott's story is very much of national interest, readers in these markets will find it especially compelling.

PUBLICATION TIMING aligns with the beginning of the baseball season, Father's Day, and the Olympics--all of which are relevant to Abbott's story.

PHOTOS: Imperfect will contain an 8-page black-and-white photo insert.

Queen of the Conqueror

The Life of Matilda, Wife of William I

Tracy Borman For fans of Alison Weir, by a rising star in the field, a groundbreaking first biography of one of England's most consequential queens, Matilda of Flanders, wife of William the Conqueror.

The remarkable story of Matilda's marriage to one of the most famous men in history reveals not just her extraordinary character but also the lasting influence that she would have on the English monarchy. All British monarchs from 1087 to the present day can trace their lineage to this first royal consort to be crowned with full pomp and formally recognized as queen. Passionate, steadfast, and wise, she was also ruthless, tenacious, and authoritative, the only person capable of taming her formidable husband. She confounded the traditional views of women in medieval society by seizing the reins of power whenever she had the chance, directing William's policy and at times flagrantly disobeying his orders.

FIRST, DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY OF MATILDA: Matilda has been largely overlooked by historians and there has never been a biography of her despite the staggering interest in the Norman Conquest and William the Conqueror. While the Tudor era is well-covered ground, very few biographies of medieval women exist.

EXCITING NEW TALENT AND PROMOTION: Borman is extremely well connected in British historical circles and has been hailed by Alison Weir as "one of our finest historians," with her books on the Tudors widely praised. She will tour the United States in support of Queen of the Conqueror, in connection with Historic Royal Palaces.

NEW INSIGHT INTO WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR: The tempestuous marriage between Matilda and William would produce nine children, including four sons to inherit William's French and English dominions. Tyrannical and unrelenting as a ruler, toward his wife, William was adoring, assiduous and--remarkable for royal marriages of the time--utterly faithful. While he was away he left her in charge of Normandy with full powers of regency, and when he conquered England, he insisted that she be crowned as its queen.

Praise for Elizabeth's Women:

"A standout in the flood of Tudor biographies, this smart book offers a detailed exploration of Elizabeth's private relationships." --Publishers Weekly (starred review); "[Borman] has a passion for history that illuminates her books." --Alison Weir; "Here we have a most remarkable and surprisingly fresh study of the Virgin Queen that does nothing less than take the breath away." --Historical Novels Review

About the Author/Illustrator Author Residence: London, England

She is Chief Executive of the Heritage Education Trust, works for Historic Royal Palaces, and has been featured regularly on television, radio, and in a range of magazine and newspapers. Her articles have appeared in BBC History Magazine, among many others, and she lectures widely on a broad range of subjects.

Through the lens of the fall-and-rise stories of a dozen leaders, innovators and champions, an incisive look at the attributes that lead to comebacks; a highly readable and instructive analysis of the anatomy of personal and career resilience, written by a U.S. News & World Report correspondent.

Each of us will know our share of failure, but as Rick Newman shows, it is how we respond to adversity that determines our future. In Rebounders, Newman identifies the nine attributes that help you bounce back from defeat, and that can spur you to the top: a "bias toward action," pragmatic passion, comfort with discomfort, and believing yourself able to write the ending to your heroic narrative, among them. Whether alone or in combination, these traits, Newman argues, are bigger factors in success than raw talent, intelligence, or years of hard work.

Drawing on the little-known and surprising twists and turns of a dozen people who were ordinary before they became extraordinary and who ultimately escaped the gravitational pull of failure--from famous chef Thomas Keller and veteran character actor John Ratzenberger (Cliff Claven on Cheers), to Yankee Joe Torre and Grammy award-winning free spirit Lucinda Williams--Newman's Rebounders illuminates new pathways to true success.

Key Points/Quotes AUTHOR CONNECTIONS: Newman is a business journalist and frequent presence on leading portals such as Yahoo!, MSN, The Huffington Post, and numerous other websites where his stories are syndicated. He is also a regular business and political commentator on MSNBC, Fox, ABC, CNN, and other TV and radio networks.

ONLINE COLUMN CAN TOP 1 MILLION MONTHLY VIEWS: His daily online column at U.S. News can be found at: www.usnews.com/flowchart.

THE COMMON DENOMINATORS OF SUCCESS: Newman's new and counterintuitive thesis shows that there are clear attributes that we can develop and that are the common denominator of success.

FIRSTHAND INTERVIEWS/ORIGINAL REPORTING: Almost all of the stories Newman chronicles in this book are the result of firsthand interviews with the subjects.

HOPEFUL MESSAGE IN OUR FRAGILE ECONOMY: In the coming election cycle, politicians and pundits alike won't miss the chance to remind us about the economic state of affairs. With or without the government, however, Newman shows that we have the power to Rebound, if only we start working the muscles that lift people above their setbacks.

Lefty

An American Odyssey

Ballantine Books

Vernona Gomez and Lawrence Goldstone The biography of a baseball legend, Lefty is the hilarious, heart-warming, and star-studded story of Yankee great Vernon "Lefty" Gomez. It will thrill baseball fans and readers of Stan Musial, Satchel, and Luckiest Man. The life of Lefty Gomez is the story of baseball. Born at the beginning of the twentieth century, Lefty remained part of the game until the century's close, and his list of accomplishments and adventures is incomparable. He pitched against Satchel Paige, vacationed with Babe Ruth, consoled Lou Gehrig the day he pulled himself from the line-up, roomed with Joe DiMaggio, started the first All Star game, won six World Series games, toured the globe as player and manager, traveled for thirty years as a salesman for Wilson Sporting Goods, and had collegiate baseball's top award named after him--all while becoming a pilot, playing an impressive sax, and hobnobbing with the great entertainers of the day.

A savvy weight-loss plan from the beloved host of NBC's The Biggest Loser: Bob Harper explains the nonnegotiable principles for a way of eating that will get you thin and keep you thin for life, complete with the tools--recipes, menus, tips, and techniques--that will help us all get there.

Losing weight is simple...if you know the rules of the game! Combining his wildly popular motivational style with his vast knowledge of nutrition and dieting, NBC superstar trainer Bob Harper boils things down to 20 bite-sized concepts and a simple program that lead to quick, sustainable weight loss. From must-do strategies (i.e., do NOT "drink your diet," or depend on diet drinks to help you lose weight, or "go to bed hungry, wake up skinny"), to recipes and a menu plan that will burn belly fat, Harper offers simple action steps, and puts a memorable twist on what you thought you already knew. Whether readers want to lose two pounds or two hundred pounds, Harper's "nonnegotiable" rules do the trick.

Key Points/Quotes STAR OF NBC's HIT SHOW THE BIGGEST LOSER: With more than 9 million viewers per episode, Bob will be the main host (with Anna Kournikova) for season #12, which runs from November 2011-May 2012.

EXACTLY WHAT TO EAT: With recipes and menu plans, Bob explains how to give your diet the makeover it needs to fuel your body with fat-busting foods that are also delicious.

FANS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS BOOK: Fans "get" the exercise component of weight loss but are always asking Bob about exactly what to put in their mouth. This book answers that question.

FIRST DIET BOOK FROM BOB: Bob's other book was about exercise, with only very brief mention of food and zero recipes.

DIGITAL PLATFORM: Harper's website, MyTrainerBob.com, gets more than 80,000 unique visitors per month; he has 350,000 Facebook "friends," 160,000 Twitter followers, and 850,000+ viewers of his YouTube videos.

For more than a decade, readers have been eagerly waiting for New York Times bestselling author Jeff Shaara to return to the Civil War--in this riveting account of the Battle of Shiloh, he does just that. Based on meticulous research and told in the voices of characters from both sides, this new novel is Shaara at his best, writing for his broadest and most avid readership.

In April of 1862, Major General Ulysses S. Grant of the Union forces led his troops deep into Tennessee, setting up camp around a small log church called Shiloh. On the morning of April 6, Confederate forces led by generals Johnston and Beauregard launched a surprise attack on the Union Army encampment to prevent the Union advance into northern Mississippi. Though the Confederates held the advantage for most of the first day, Union reinforcements arrived as evening came and launched a counterattack on the morning of April 7, successfully forcing the Confederates to retreat and ending what had become one of the bloodiest battles on American soil to date.

Key Points/Quotes RETURN TO BIGGEST SHAARA AUDIENCE--THE CIVIL WAR: No one writes about the Civil War like Jeff Shaara. From his father's classic The Killer Angels through two massive bestsellers--Gods & Generals and The Last Full Measure--the Shaara genius is on full display in this fictional retelling of one of the Civil War's most iconic battles.

SESQUICENTENNIAL: 2012 begins the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, sure to attract lots of attention to the subject.

NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED, BESTSELLING AUTHOR: New York Times bestselling author Shaara is at the peak of his powers. His ability to blend "you're there" immediacy with historical accuracy is unparalleled.

GRIPPING NARRATIVE: True to form, Shaara brings to life the excitement and tension of Shiloh through the unforgettable characters on both sides of the battle, including Union generals Grant and Sherman and Confederate leaders Johnston and Beauregard.

BASED ON METICULOUS RESEARCH: As always, Shaara's characters are based on comprehensive research and a detailed knowledge of the history.

FIRST IN A FATHER'S DAY TRILOGY: This is the first in Jeff's new Civil War trilogy, to be published for Father's Day in 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Running with the Kenyans

Passion, Adventure, and the Secrets of the Fastest People on Earth

Ballantine Books

Adharanand Finn For the readers of Born to Run; part travelogue, part memoir, part prescriptive advice, and a riveting, pulse-pounding story set deep in the heart of Africa, sure to attract runners and adventure readers.Running with the Kenyans is a fascinating look into the heart and soul of the world's greatest runners.

After years of watching Kenyan runners win the world's biggest races, from the Olympics to the major international marathons, Runner's World contributor Adharanand Finn set out to discover what it was that made them so fast. Packing up his family (and his running shoes), he moved from rural England to the small town of Iten, in Kenya, home to hundreds of the country's best runners. Once there he laced up his shoes and set out on the dirt tracks, running side by side with Olympic champions, young hopefuls, and barefoot schoolchildren. Finn ate their food, he slept in their training camps, and his children went to their schools.

And at the end of it all, he joined them for his first marathon, an epic race across the wildlife-filled Kenyan plains.

Key Points/Quotes HUGE MARKET AND CATEGORY: Running books sell. Runners are hungry, consuming everything having to do with running, and there are 25 million runners in America, and more than 140 marathons a year in the United States.

PERFECT TIMING FOR OLYMPICS: Timed right before the London 2012 Olympics (7/27-8/12), when the world will be captivated by the sport.

FIRST MAJOR PUBLICATION ON KENYAN RUNNERS and why they are so successful.

Will appeal to any sports fans or athletes inspired by their success.

INTERNATIONAL FEEL: Author races in England and Africa, and closes the book with the New York City Marathon, discussing the different running styles and cultures around the world.

POPULAR BLOG: Finn has been blogging about his experience on the Guardian website: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/series/running-with-the-kenyans SCIENCE: Finn further investigates the science behind successful running, first written about in Born to Run. Barefoot running, which is the Kenyan style, most seemingly originating from their lack of high-tech, fancy footwear, has become quite a trend in the running community.

INSPIRATION: Readers cannot help but get inspired to lace up their shoes and hit the running paths, as Finn writes beautifully about the joy those who run experience, the "runner's high."

Wife 22 A Novel

Ballantine Books

Melanie Gideon For fans of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary and Allison Pearson's I Don't Know How She Does It comes an irresistible novel of a woman losing herself...and finding herself again...in the middle of her life.

When Alice Buckle, who has been married to William for nearly twenty years, receives a survey in her e-mail from the Netherfield Center for the Study of Marital Happiness, she is in the doldrums. She loves her husband but they've grown distant, she is bored with her job, and her adolescent children need her less now.

And she has reached the age at which her mother died. So as she idly begins answering the questions, she finds herself baring her soul in an anonymous survey she never even intended to respond to. As she struggles, as "Wife 22" in the survey, to provide honest answers to the questionnaire administered by Researcher 101, she realizes it has been years since anyone asked deep, serious questions of her, and really listened to her answers. Soon her entire life as she knows it is called into question.

Key Points/Quotes UTTERLY DISTINCTIVE VOICE: Wife 22 speaks (often hilariously) to the increasingly disconnected way we live our lives in the age of constant digital chatter. Gideon weaves the story of Alice and William with Facebook statuses, Google searches, confessionals, and questionnaires to reveal the double lives we all lead and the ease with which we reveal things online to strangers but not to the ones we love.

WIDE APPEAL: Alice's voice is funny, smart, and instantly engaging, recalling heroines like Bridget Jones and Allison Pearson's Kate Reddy, who each defined a cultural moment. It will also appeal to readers of contemporary women's fiction, from Jennifer Weiner to Emily Giffin.

MOVIE RIGHTS: Have been optioned by Working Title pictures.

EXCITEMENT WORLDWIDE: Rights to Wife 22 have already been sold in nineteen countries including Brazil, China, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Korea, Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, and Spain.

DEBUT NOVEL: Gideon has previously written a memoir and two young adult novels, this is her first adult fiction.

The Last Kind Words A Novel

Tom Piccirilli From Thriller Award winner and Edgar Award nominee Tom Piccirilli, here is a mesmerizing suspense novel that explores the bonds of brothers and the ways they're stretched by guilt, justice, and redemption--perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Dennis Lehane.

Raised in a family of small-time grifters all named after dog breeds, Terrier Rand decided to go straight after his older brother, Collie, went on a killing spree that left an entire family and several others dead. Five years later, and only weeks before his scheduled execution, Collie contacts Terry and asks him to return home. He claims that he wasn't responsible for one of the murders--and insists that the real killer is still out there. Uncertain whether his brother is telling the truth, Terry is drawn back into the lives of his family and of the fiancée he abandoned, who's now raising a child with his best friend. As he starts to investigate what really happened on the day of Collie's crime spree, the truth he uncovers about the family's secrets will haunt all of them.

THE START OF A NEW SERIES: Piccirilli's next novel, which will follow in 2013, will also feature Terry Rand.

Fabulous advance praise for The Last Kind Words:

"Perfect crime fiction...a convincing world, a cast of compelling characters, and above all a great story." --Lee Child "For the first time since The Godfather, a family of criminals has stolen my heart. A brilliant mix of love and violence, charm and corruption. I loved it." --Nancy Pickard "You don't choose your family. And the Rand clan, a family of thieves and killers, is bad to the bone. But it's a testimony to Tom Piccirilli's stellar writing that you still care about each and every one of them....At once a dark and brooding page-turner and a heartfelt tale about the ties that bind." --Lisa Unger "It's Piccirilli's sense of relationships and the haunting power of family that lifts his writing beyond others in the genre....A swift-moving and hard-hitting novel." --Michael Koryta "Tom Piccirilli is clearly a writer to embrace....A stunning story that ranges far afield at times but never truly leaves home, a place where shadows grow in every corner."

--Daniel Woodrell

The Queen's Vow

A Novel of Isabella of Castile

Ballantine Books

C.W. Gortner For fans of Philippa Gregory's and Alison Weir's historical fiction, a gripping new novel that follows young Isabella of Castile in her dramatic and turbulent ascent to power, transforming herself from the defiant daughter of an exiled widow to the famed warrior-queen who irrevocably changed the future of Spain.

Isabella of Castile is one of history's most famous and fascinating figures. She was the warrior-monarch who united a fractured kingdom; she was the passionate woman willing to risk her life to marry her true love; she was a Renaissance leader, patron of the arts, and scholar, responsible for sending Columbus to America. Revered by some as a devout leader who transformed Spain into a world power, she is reviled by others as a fanatic who ushered in an era of persecution. In The Queen's Vow, C. W. Gortner brings Isabella's world of faith, bloodshed, romance, and betrayal to powerful life.

A FASCINATING SUBJECT: Isabella of Castile is the most famous queen in history after Elizabeth I. Her conquest of Granada ended eight hundred years of Moorish occupation of Spain, an accomplishment no Christian king before her had achieved. Among her daughters were Catherine of Aragón, Henry VIII's doomed first wife, and Juana of Castile, subject of Gortner's acclaimed first novel, The Last Queen.

A NEW ANGLE: Gortner counters the traditional view of Isabella as a fanatic, depicting her contentious relationship with Fray Torquemada and her deep reluctance to sanction the Inquisition.

NO COMPETITION: There are currently no novels in print in the United States about the life and reign of Isabella.

AUTHOR IS AN ACTIVE SELF-PROMOTER: C. W. Gortner organizes large-scale marketing campaigns online through AuthorBuzz, offering contests and promotional materials to readers, librarians, and booksellers. He speaks to book groups via speaker phone, Skype, and in person and does signings and events.

Praise for The Confessions of Catherine de Medici:

"Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory fans will devour this smashing fictional biography."

--Booklist "You will devour this read, desperate to satiate your curiosity. The writing is illuminating and powerful....Highly recommended!" --The Historical Novels Review (editor's choice)

BESTSELLING SERIES: Wicked Appetite, the first book in the Lizzy and Diesel series, hit #1 in mass market on the New York Times bestseller list.

TAKING THE TRADITIONAL PLUM PUBLICATION DATE: After having two Plum novels back-to-back in 2011, we will use the traditional June Plum pub date to relaunch Lizzy and Diesel, which will help introduce Plum fans to the Lizzy and Diesel franchise.

STRONG BANTAM MARKETING COMMITMENT: Fully backed by a massive campaign, Bantam is determined to grow this spin-off series exponentially!

YOUNGER AUDIENCE POTENTIAL: The Lizzy and Diesel series will be slightly more tame in its language and have magical elements that will make it attractive for a younger audience as well.

"Fans of Evanovich have a new series to revel in....Impossibly adorable." --Booklist

Series Overview The heroine of the Lizzy and Diesel series is Elizabeth Tucker, who works at Dazzle's Bakery in Salem, Massachusetts, where she bakes cupcakes so delicious they make men lose their minds. One day her quiet life is derailed by Diesel, an irresistible man with his own set of unusual talents and a mission that only Lizzy can help him complete. He is also determined to protect her (day and night!) from a very bad guy named Grimoire Gerwulf, who is seeking the Seven Stones of Power, each connected to one of the seven deadly sins.

Here from #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Marie Moning is the out-of-print novella her fans have been clamoring for, Into the Dreaming.

Available for the first time in hardcover, with a gorgeous new package, it is a must for fans of the Fever and Highlander series and newcomers alike.

For years, aspiring romance novelist Jane Sillee has dreamed each night of trysts with an impossibly handsome Highlander lover. The drudgery of real life just can't compare. But one day dream becomes reality when Jane is transported into the past, and into the life of Aedan, her Highlander. Aedan doesn't remember her, though--doesn't remember anything beyond the years he's spent as a prisoner of the king of the dark fae. He's cursed and conflicted, and only Jane's loving touch can free him. If she succeeds, she can stay with him in the past forever, but if she fails, she will be forced to spend the rest of her life without him.

Key Points/Quotes SPECIAL PACKAGING: With a die-cut cover with gorgeous full-color artwork printed on the case underneath, and a gifty trim size, all of Moning's fans will want Into the Dreaming!

INTO THE DREAMING IS A BRIDGE BETWEEN MONING'S BELOVED HIGHLANDER AND FEVER SERIES, MAKING IT A MUST FOR FANS OF BOTH: A special Dear Reader letter from the author that explains the novella's connection to the two series will thrill readers and draw in fans. And the novella will also include never-before-published material from the Highlander series!

LEADS IN TO THE FIRST BOOK IN MONING'S BRAND-NEW SERIES: Into the Dreaming goes on sale just a few months before the first hardcover in Moning's new series, Iced--which connects to the Fever series--and it will contain a back ad for it!

OUT OF PRINT FOR YEARS!: Originally printed in the mass market original collection Tapestry in 2002 (alongside novellas by Madeline Hunter, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and others), Into the Dreaming was also released as a stand-alone mass market by Jove in 2006. It has been out of print for years, and Moning's fans are eager for it!

EXPLOSIVE SALES GROWTH: Darkfever, Bloodfever, Faefever, Dreamfever, and Shadowfever all appeared on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. Both Faefever and Dreamfever debuted on the hardcover New York Times bestseller list at #3, and Shadowfever took the coveted #1 spot on the list!

Moning's sales grow dramatically with each successive book. While her second-most-recent hardcover, Dreamfever, saw 100,000 copies in print after four reprints its first week on sale, her latest--Shadowfever--had a first print of 120,000!

Challenging the Brain for Health and Wisdom

Ballantine Books

Shlomo Breznitz and Collins Hemingway Forget sudoku and crossword puzzles. If you're interested in keeping your brain healthy, whatever your age, Maximum Brainpower will give you all the tools you need.

Did you know that a false alarm conditions us to ignore future alarms? That experts don't use more of their brain cells than average joes? That hope has a documented impact on brain function? Welcome to the weird, wonderful world of the brain. Written by an internationally renowned cognitive psychologist with more than thirty years of experience in the field of brain research, Maximum Brainpower provides a fascinating, in-depth look at how the mind works on a biological and functional level (and how it sometimes doesn't work). And it offers a framework for people to maximize their brain health for life--in a way that will improve their day-to-day existence and help protect them from brain disease. Filled with fascinating real-world examples and the most up-to-date science, it is a book every person should own.

Key Points/Quotes INTRIGUING, LITTLE-KNOWN SCIENCE FOR A WIDE AUDIENCE: Most books about the brain either take how-to approaches, skimming over the science, or are too technical for the average reader. Maximum Brainpower hits the sweet spot--it provides both an in-depth look at how the brain works and advice on how to achieve maximum brain health for life. And it's written for a general readership--filled with colorful real-world stories that will resound with Malcolm Gladwell fans, and fascinating examples of psychological experiments (many published here for the first time).

ORGANIZED FOR MAXIMUM TAKEAWAY: Each chapter ends with a list of easy-to-read and -remember bullet points.

A HUGE POTENTIAL AUDIENCE: There are 77 million baby boomers, many of whom are dealing with the mental decline of their parents as they themselves experience their first "senior" moments. There's no topic they're more invested in than cognitive fitness!

POWERFUL SUPPORT: Post-publication, Breznitz's company, CogniFit, will launch him in a series of seminars on Maximum Brainpower's topics, at which books will be sold.

AN INNOVATIVE BOOK WEBSITE: Prior to publication, the Maximum Brainpower website will go live. It will provide articles and links that expand on the topics of the book, and will allow users to sample brain-training software (quizzes, challenges, etc.)--all of which will drive interest in the book.

COAUTHOR: Hemingway has co-written several successful, well-reviewed books, including Bill Gates's #1 bestselling Business @ the Speed of Thought.

For readers of David Sheff's A Beautiful Boy and his son's addiction memoir, Tweak, this harrowing memoir tells the story of an American man living in Thailand who became an expert on and collector of rare nineteenth-century opium-smoking paraphernalia, only to eventually succumb to a thirty-pipe-a-day habit that ruined his life.

A natural-born collector whose fascination with the old Orient and thirst for exotic adventure propelled him to live and travel in Asia starting in his teens, San Diego-born Steven Martin settled in Thailand as a freelance journalist. While working on an assignment for Time about the disappearing culture of opium smoking, Martin was inspired to begin collecting rare nineteenth-century opium-smoking equipment, most of which had been destroyed in an effort to wipe out use of the drug. But after having built the world's most valuable collection, Martin began to smoke with it, though only once a month--at first. In Opium Fiend, we follow Martin's addiction as it grows to the point where he can no longer work and is forced to sell off his possessions--including his collection--to support himself. Unable to quit because of opium's brutal withdrawal symptoms, Martin finally hears about a Buddhist monastery with a reputation for curing even hopeless addicts...

Key Points/Quotes A COMPELLING STORY OF ADDICTION AND RECOVERY: This memoir is unputdownable as readers watch the author fall ever deeper under the spell of opium--and then follow his strange and miraculous cure.

PEOPLE ARE FASCINATED BY THIS ROMANTIC BUT LITTLE-UNDERSTOOD DRUG: Author Nick Tosches wrote a Vanity Fair article in 2000 called "Confessions of an Opium Seeker" that prompted more reader mail than any other article in the magazine's history.

NOTHING LIKE IT ON THE MARKET: This is a unique story about a unique subject. Not since Jean Cocteau's 1930 classic Opium: Diary of His Cure, and Thomas De Quincey's nineteenth-century Confessions of an English Opium Eater has there been a book about being addicted to opium.

INCLUDES FASCINATING BACKGROUND HISTORY: The author includes colorful background lore and anecdotes about opium's past in America, Victorian England and France, and especially China.

BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTOS THROUGHOUT, including rare historical shots of opium smokers and their pipes and accessories.

Stephen Miller's potent, immediate novel of a young terrorist loose on the streets of the United States is perfect for the readers of intelligent, character-driven novels such as John Updike's Terrorist and Joseph O'Neill's Netherland. In this harrowing exploration of a young woman's mission, Daria has been sent to America, and she holds the power of life and death in her hands.

This is the story of two outsiders existing in the margins of their respective worlds. They are two enemies of the state: Daria--born in an Iraqi refugee camp, raised in poverty--and Sam Watterman--a scientist who told his government the things they didn't want to hear and was discredited, an expat in his own country.

Daria's odyssey will bring her to the United States on a journey of vengeance.

Watterman's path will take him from enforced obscurity into the war rooms of American intelligence. In the next seven days, Daria will learn to question everything that she has been taught. Watterman will learn that even evil has a human face. This is the story of two people from opposite sides of the globe, who did not know the other existed but who will affect each other in profound--even devastating--ways. Their next seven days will be the most extroardinary journey in a reader's life.

Key Points/Quotes TWO AMAZING CHARACTERS: Both Daria and Watterman will resonate with the reader long after the final page as two of the most unforgettable and powerful characters. Their choices and actions will fuel countless book club discussions, asking the reader to put him- or herself in their shoes.

FROM THE HEADLINES: Miller has penned a highly relevant novel, with a credible and truly terrifying threat at its heart.

TICKING CLOCK: The Messenger takes place over a seven-day time frame, giving readers a compelling countdown to the final breathless pages.

STAGE AND SCREEN: Miller is an accomplished actor in Canadian television and film, and a fascinating interview subject.

RETURN TO THE STATES: This is Miller's sixth book, but only his second to be published in the United States, and the first in more than a decade.

"This first novel reflects the violent passions of its age....Powerfully told in vivid detail...compelling." --The Dallas Morning News, on The Woman in the Yard

Gigi Levangie Grazer From the bestselling author of The Starter Wife, Gigi Levangie Grazer's The After Wife tells the hilariously charming story of a widowed TV producer in crisis who seeks solace and advice from her recently deceased husband.

One night soon after her husband Jon's death, reality show producer Hannah Marsh Bernal finds herself in her backyard, asking an avocado tree profound questions. "Why?" she tearfully asks of Jon's untimely death. Surprisingly, the tree answers (in a Brooklyn accent, no less): "Why not?"

Hannah finds herself communicating with dead people...including her deceased husband. But this "gift" is getting in the way of her life: she loses her job and might have to sell her house. Hannah meets a man with romantic potential, but is worried about hurting her dead husband's feelings.

While Hannah gets answers to some of life's questions from the Great Beyond, she also discovers that more earthly love and happiness can still be found in sun-soaked Santa Monica.

Delivering novels of unrelenting and blistering suspense, Karin Slaughter has climbed the New York Times bestseller list. Lisa Gardner proclaimed, "She doesn't write thrillers as much as she explodes suspense." Now, in Slaughter's latest thriller, the past--like carefully concealed sins--can only stay buried for so long....

In New York Times bestselling author Karin Slaughter's latest thriller, the agents of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation dive into a crime from the past, to prevent an even greater terror from being unleashed on Atlanta today. A shocking crime from 1975 reverberates in the present day, the loudest for GBI Agent Will Trent. Always one of the sharpest investigative minds in the Bureau, his personal life has forever been in shambles. For the first time, though, Will is starting to emerge, to gain a life outside of solving the hardest--and often darkest--cases. But this new investigation and its long-buried crimes threaten his new life--both personally and professionally--and change everything he thought he knew about his past.

Key Points/Quotes FOUR MILLION: That's how many copies in print Slaughter--the boldest name in crime fiction--has surpassed in the United States alone!

"Her talent is the equivalent of an Edgar Allan Poe or a Nathaniel Hawthorne....You can't dismiss the growth of Slaughter's talent.

THE DEFINITIVE BIO OF THE GREATEST BASKETBALL TEAM EVER ASSEMBLED: From Jordan to Magic to Bird to Barkley, the Dream Team featured the greats of the Golden Age of the NBA. (Except, of course, for Isiah Thomas, which introduces into the narrative a strong element of controversy.) Here is the behind-the-scenes story of how these world-class athletes became a team, and how all of those outsized personalities fit onto a single medal stand.

FROM "HOW IT ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN" TO "HOW IT CHANGED BASKETBALL FOREVER": The line between total failure and impossible-to-duplicate success was as thin as the three-point stripe, and McCallum relates in detail how the Dream Team went from being one international basketball executive's ludicrous idea to a global marketing juggernaut so successful it would reshape the sport internationally. Not only are there fresh interviews with all twelve players, but for promotional use, there's never-before-seen footage of the greatest pick-up game ever played.

OLYMPIC TIMING: Publication is slated for just before the 2012 Summer Olympics, which mark the twentieth anniversary of the Dream Team.

ONE OF THE BEST BASKETBALL WRITERS ALIVE: McCallum is the highly praised author of 7 Seconds or Less and covered the Dream Team for Sports Illustrated as it happened. He knows the players, coaches, and story lines better than any other writer.

BASKETBALL NOSTALGIA IS ALIVE AND WELL: From Bill Simmons's #1 New York Times bestselling The Book of Basketball to Bird and Magic's joint memoir, basketball books--and more specifically, those that bring to life the sport's greatest days--are working. This is the next book those readers are looking for.

PHOTOS: The Dream Team will contain an 8-page black-and-white photo insert.

Friends Forever A Novel

Danielle Steel From #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel comes an unforgettable story about the beauty and enduring power of friendship, featuring an ensemble cast of engaging characters in the tradition of her blockbuster novel Sisters.

Two girls and three boys, all with strikingly different looks and talents, meet at the Atwood school as young children. Together, they become an inseparable group--known to outsiders as "The Big Five"--and lean on one another through all the bumps and bends of childhood and adolescence. But when the tight-knit group graduates and scatters to different colleges, their lives diverge dramatically, and some of the friends are lost forever... Those who remain will struggle to understand that even bonds that once seemed unbreakable are not proof against tragedy--but that they can also transform into something new and entirely unexpected...

EVERYBODY READS DANIELLE STEEL: With more than 590 million copies of her books in print, Danielle Steel is inarguably at the top of the women's fiction tower.

2012 IS THE EPIC YEAR OF ODD with nonstop promotions and releases: The first four Odd Thomas titles will be reissued in May in handsome new premium paperback editions as part of major backlist promotion initiatives, including Odd Apocalypse teasers in all premium paperback editions, innovative online marketing, a backlist e-bundle, and an e-original novella, Odd Interlude, released in weekly installments leading up to the hardcover release of Odd Apocalypse in late July (including advance preview chapters from the new novel). The e-novella is an eerie, stand-alone adventure that takes place on the road between the events of Odd Hours and Odd Apocalypse, to provide a pitch-perfect lead-in to the summer hardcover. The graphic novel, House of Odd, in March 2012 will also prime excitement. Odd Apocalypse and the sixth novel in the series, Deeply Odd, are timed to bookend and fully exploit the release of the major Odd Thomas motion picture now in postproduction, one of the most buzzed-about film properties of the year, tentatively projected for release in Fall 2012. Written and directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy) and starring red-hot actor Anton Yelchin, Willem Dafoe, and 50 Cent, among others, the film is poised to become one of 2012's biggest blockbusters!

READERS AND REVIEWERS LOVE ODD THOMAS!: Odd Hours, the most recent Odd Thomas novel, shot straight to #1 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list, continuing the powerful track record of the first three titles in the series and cementing the franchise as Dean Koontz's most popular and explosive. While best enjoyed in sequence, the novels are also designed to work fully as stand-alones as well. Publishers Weekly, in its starred review of Brother Odd, called Odd Thomas "one of the most quietly authoritative characters in recent popular fiction." The New York Times has deemed Odd "Koontz's most likeable creation."

SPECTACULAR NEW PACKAGES: We will be developing a coordinated new look for all the Odd Thomas titles, designed to anticipate the film and including arresting, effects-laden jackets for the hardcovers and fresh, striking covers for the premium mass market paperbacks.

"A writer whose work [belongs] on the high shelf alongside that of Kafka, Borges and Proust." --The New York Times Book Review "Is literary greatness still possible? What would a noble literary enterprise look like? One of the few answers available to English-speaking readers is the work of W. G. Sebald."

--Susan Sontag "Sebald is an addiction, and once buttonholed by his books, you have neither the wish nor the will to tear yourself away." --The New Yorker

From the bestselling author of Amagansett, The Savage Garden, and The Information Officer, comes another riveting historical suspense novel--this one set in the French Riviera during the 1930s.

Cote D'Azur France, 1935. High on a cliff above the blue waters of the French Riviera, sits a shabby but elegant mansion. It is here that Tom Nash, a former Intelligence Operative, lives quietly, seeking only peace and respite from a haunted past and trying to forget the woman he loved and lost.

Even a continent accelerating toward war seems a world away from the dinners and beach parties that the expatriate community of exiles and artists inhabit each summer. But the sun-kissed idyll is shattered abruptly one night when someone tries to murder him in his sleep. His past life as an operative has finally come back to haunt him, that much he knows.

His life in the balance, he must keep up the pretense of normalcy as he draws his enemy out. He knows that someone in his midst is not who they seem.

Consumed with suspicion, Tom tries to resist becoming the man he left behind--capable of anything.

Key Points/Quotes RAVE REVIEWS: Praised as "vivid" and "satisfying," Mills's last book, The Information Officer, was shortlisted for the prestigious 2009 CWA Ellis Peters Historical Crime Award and was one of Marilyn Stasio's Notable Crime Books of 2010. The Information Officer was the subject of a five-way auction for audio rights and was also a Book Of The Month Club and Mystery Guild selection.

AUTHOR: Mills is that rare writer who can straddle literary and commercial--elegant prose, unforgettable characters, and gorgeous atmosphere combine with stellar plotting and suspense to deliver the best of both worlds. He is a major bestseller in the UK, where he was a Richard & Judy pick.

"Magnificent entertainment...it reads like the story of Casablanca revisited, like a vanished Graham Greene....A thrilling tale." --Los Angeles Times "Mills skillfully combines grim historical reality with murder in this tautly gripping mystery.

His characters are deftly drawn and highlight the drama of their setting." --The Washington Times "The love scenes, played out against the whistle and shriek of falling bombs and the stench of cordite, are knee-buckling in their intimacy." --The Star-Ledger

Paris in Love A Memoir

Eloisa James A critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of historical romances chronicles one joyful year in which she literally leaves her worries behind and escapes with her husband and children to one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Fresh on the heels of surviving a bout with cancer and losing her mother, Eloisa James sold her house, took a sabbatical from her university job, and moved her family to Paris. With no classes to teach, no committee meetings to attend, no lawn to mow or cars to park, Eloisa is free to focus on the ordinary pleasures of life--discovering out-of-the-way shops and sights that elude most tourists, contenting herself with many walks and simple discoveries in the city, helping her two hilarious children, ages eight and sixteen, navigate the school system, coping with her Italian mother-in-law's raised eyebrow in the kitchen even as the woman overfeeds Milo, the family dog, and in general inviting the reader into the life of a most enchanting family.

ELOISA JAMES IS A PSEUDONYM: Her real name is Mary Bly, and she is the daughter of poet Robert Bly. AUTHOR'S DAY JOB: While James is a bestselling writer of historical romances, her day job is as an associate professor (Shakespeare) and head of the creative writing program at Fordham.

APPENDIX: The book will include an appendix listing all of Eloisa's favorite Parisian restaurants and shops.

ILLUSTRATIONS: The book will be lavishly illustrated throughout.

PARIS IN THE AIR: The Paris Wife. Need we say more?

Ben

A Personal Portrait of Ben Bradlee, Journalism's Legendary Editor

Jeff Himmelman Ben is an intimate, all-access portrait of Ben Bradlee, the famed editor of The Washington Post and Washington, D.C., insider whose key journalistic decisions changed the course of American history.

A deeply personal and in-depth look at Ben Bradlee, the iconic newspaperman.

As the editor of one of the premier papers in the world during a fascinating, tempestuous era, Bradlee helped to shape--and has since come to represent--the golden age of American journalism. The book will take the reader from the Pentagon Papers to Watergate, from the assassination attempt on Ronald Regan to the Janet Cooke scandal and beyond, using a trove of unpublished correspondence and comprehensive interviews to reveal Bradlee's true role and to shed new light on these events from the inside. With some of the older material--particularly the Pentagon Papers and Watergate--the book will also explain to a new generation of readers what was at stake and why what Bradlee and the Post did remains so relevant today.

APPEAL OF SUBJECT: A must-read for political junkies, journalists, history buffs, and people who want to know more about a central player in American journalism--from the Pentagon Papers and Watergate through the end of the Cold War and the scandal that nearly ended his career. Bradlee's close relationships with JFK, Kay Graham, Bob Woodward, and other D.C. fictures will be featured prominently.

ANNIVERSARY: Published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of Watergate, on June 17, in which Bradlee was an integral player.

NATIONAL RECOGNITION: An iconic and crusty newspaper editor, legendary for his brashness and his charm, depicted by Jason Robards in All the President's Men. Famous for his fights for freedom of the press and the public's right to know, in the face of massive government resistance.

MEDIA ATTENTION: Bradlee supports this book and will make himself available to promote it. Some of the biggest names in American journalism will as well.

Emmy Award-winning writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and coauthor of Earth: The Book Kevin Bleyer turns his formidable wit to the most ambitious literary project ever attempted by an individual: a complete rewrite of the United States Constitution. (You're welcome, America.)

What's so great about the Constitution, anyway? It's barely four pages long, was written by farmers more than two centuries ago and, not for nothing, was scribbled in handwriting with the quill of a goose. The word defence isn't even spelled correctly. No less a man than Thomas Jefferson believed that the Constitution should "naturally expire" every 19 years; by his logic, this thing has been dead since 1808. It's high time for a rewrite, and Kevin Bleyer--awardwinning humorist, acclaimed speechwriter, affirmed gentleman--is just the man for the job. In Me the People, Bleyer finally drags our most sacred founding document into the twenty-first century, fixing its flaws and answering its unresolved questions. Along the way, he more than proves his mettle, flying coach to the birthplace of democracy (Greece), enduring a MegaBus ride to Independence Hall (in August), suffering the indignity of having his texts ignored by some guy named John Hancock (co-owner of "The What Hut" in Manhattan), and debating the contents of Article III with Justice Antonin Scalia himself (true story!). In Bleyer's hands, this book will not only inspire and entertain the masses, it will save America. It's the least he can do.

Key Points/Quotes DAILY SHOW WRITER AND SEASONED HUMORIST: Bleyer has won three Emmys for his writing for The Daily Show, worked as a writer and producer for Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and Dennis Miller, and contributed to a number of President Obama's speeches, including addresses at the last three White House Correspondents' Dinners.

CONNECTED AUTHOR: Bleyer's contacts--from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to Arianna Huffington and NPR's Scott Simon--will be called upon to support the book.

TIMELY TOPIC: The Constitution is at the center of political conversation these days--from Tea Party rallies to the halls of Congress--and will surely be the hottest of topics when Me the People is published, in the lead-up to the 2012 election.

MEDIA EXPERIENCE: In addition to writing for television, Bleyer has appeared on The Daily Show, Charlie Rose, and Today, and often works as a commentator at NPR. ILLUSTRATIONS THROUGHOUT: Photos, illustrations, and oil paintings (!) throughout.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR KEVIN BLEYER:

"One of my best men. A traveling genius." --Bill Maher, known arch-liberal "My go-to guy. Kevvers writes my best ad-libs. I'd follow him into hell." --Dennis Miller, confirmed neo-conservative "Bleyer? I don't care for him. I find him crass." --Jon Stewart, noted bipartisan

Franklin Roosevelt's political genius is unquestioned. Witness how he galvanized the country to overcome the Great Depression and won four unprecedented presidential victories. Less well recognized is FDR's deep personal involvement in World War II. He was not simply a wartime president, but a wartime participant, strategist, and the leader who handpicked those who would direct America's armed forces.

At a time when Americans are confronting anew questions about the nature and exercise of global power, Roosevelt's Centurions is a timely and revealing book about what it takes to be a war leader in a messy, complicated, and tumultuous democracy. What makes a great commander-in-chief? What makes a great general or admiral? What can we learn from the victories and defeats of the past that will enable us to move forward, as FDR wrote in a speech he did not live to deliver, with "strong and active faith"?

Persico answers all of these questions, offering us an elegant and engaging saga of soldiers and sailors, presidents and prime ministers. The men who led the effort with Roosevelt are curiously fading from the popular memory--Marshall and King and Arnold, names that once meant the world are, in Persico's hands, restored to their historical importance.

Key Points/Quotes RELEVANT TODAY: This book is required reading for anyone interested in history, leadership, management, politics, or the 2012 presidential race, for the questions Persico raises and answers about the nature of leadership are the questions facing Americans now, and which we must answer in our own generation.

ESTABLISHED AUTHOR: JOSEPH PERISCO has a strong track record. Roosevelt's Secret War was a New York Times bestseller, and we anticipate similar results for Roosevelt's Centurions.

Praise for Franklin and Lucy:

"Persico's exploration of FDR's emotional life is fascinating." --USA Today

Praise for Roosevelt's Secret War:

"A well-paced, memorable account." --The New York Times

The Cost of Hope A Memoir

Amanda Bennett Pulitzer Prize winner Amanda Bennett's funny, moving memoir of her marriage to a hilarious, eccentric man and her quest to save his life, a story that raises timely, provocative questions about health care in America.

In this compelling, poignant, and wonderfully written memoir, Amanda Bennett tells the story of her love affair with the irresistible, infuriating Terrence Brian Foley, their complex but deeply loving marriage, and, when Terrence was diagnosed with cancer, their quest to preserve his, and their family's, life. After Terrence died, Bennett obtained his medical records and bills, hoping to determine the cost of their decisions to attempt to save Terrence's life. What she discovered raises vital questions about health care in America, a system in which the buyers don't know and the sellers don't set the costs of care. With clarity, humor, and compassion in the telling, Bennett explores through her own family's story the tough emotional decisions thousands of Americans face each year.

Stalin's General

The Life of Georgy Zhukov

Geoffrey Roberts The first major biography in a generation of the Soviet general whom many believe "won World War II," for readers of Antony Beevor and Max Hastings.

Marshal Georgi Zhukov is one of the legendary names in military history. In World War II, he played a decisive role in the battles (Moscow, Stalingrad, and Kursk) that eventually brought down the Nazi regime--and he was the first of the Allied generals to enter Berlin. After the war, Zhukov had an equally eventful career as Krushchev's defense minister. He was sacked and banished twice, and wrongfully accused of treason. Zhukov's legend has steadily grown in the years since his death. He is now seen as perhaps the indispensable military leader of WWII, surpassing Eisenhower, Patton, Monty, and MacArthur in his military brilliance and ferocity. Drawing on rich new sources from the Soviet archives, Geoffrey Roberts has fashioned the definitive biography of this seminal twentieth-century figure.

THE FIRST FULL-SCALE BIOGRAPHY: Previous accounts of Zhukov have focused on his military career and given short shrift to Zhukov's postwar career. Geoffrey Roberts shows that after the war, Zhukov's life was just as dramatic and significant. He was the defense minister for a number of years and played a crucial role in the start of the Cold War. In the post-Stalin era, full of intrigues and backstabbing and coups, Zhukov was a central player.

NEWLY DISCOVERED MATERIALS: Roberts draws on all the latest research from recently opened Soviet archives, including the unexpurgated edition of Zhukov's own memoir, never before translated into English.

THE HISTORY BUFF'S GENERAL: Though his name is less well known than that of other famous generals, there is increasing consensus among military and historical buffs that Zhukov was the greatest general of WWII and one of the great generals in history.

Zhukov is the pivotal and compelling character in a number of bestselling recent history books including Antony Beevor's Stalingrad and The Fall of Berlin and Max Hastings's Armageddon.

SCHOLARLY CREDENTIALS: Geoffrey Roberts is one of the most admired academic historians of the Soviet military. This, his first book for a trade audience, will get serious attention in the academic world.

Mission to Paris A Novel

Alan Furst From the New York Times bestselling author and the "modern-day master of the genre" (Newsday) comes a gripping novel of espionage and deception in 1938 prewar Paris. At the center of the intrigue is Hollywood star Frederic Stahl.

September, 1938. On the eve of the Munich Appeasement, Stahl arrives in Paris, on loan from Warner Brothers to star in a French film. He quickly becomes entangled in the shifting political currents of prewar Paris--French fascists, German Nazis, and his Hollywood publicists all have their fates tied to him. But members of the clandestine spy world of Paris have a deeper interest in Stahl, sensing a potential asset in a handsome, internationally renowned actor.

Ranging from the high society of glittering Paris to film set locations in faraway Damascus and Budapest, Alan Furst's new novel confirms his status as a writer whose stories unfold "like a vivid dream" (The Wall Street Journal).

Seventy-five years after he came to life, Superman remains America's most adored and enduring hero. In this first full-fledged history of the Man of Steel, Larry Tye--author of the New York Times bestseller Satchel--shows how Superman has tapped into the American psyche in a way that reveals something essential not just about him but about us.

It was on Superman's muscle-bound back that the comic book and the very idea of the superhero took flight. He helped give America the guts to wage war against Adolf Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan. He remains an intimate to kids from Boston to Bel Air and has adult devotees who, like Talmudic scholars, parse his every utterance. For each era in America's history--on the page, radio, or screen (large or small)--Superman has zeroed in on the threats that scared us most.

Each change undergone by our hero offered a Rorschach test of a particular time and its dreams, and sewed him deeper into the fabric of America.

Tye now takes us back to Superman's birth at the hands of his young, nerdy creators. He introduces readers to the cast of characters who spun and sketched the Last Son of Krypton's adventures and played him on the little screen and the big one. Superman's story is surprising and fun enough to reel back aging devotees, draw in new ones, and remind us why the Man of Tomorrow is timeless as well as ageless. His is not just the tale of an American hero but a lens through which to see our best selves.

Key Points/Quotes NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR: Larry Tye is the author of the bestselling Satchel.

POPULAR AND FAMOUS ICON: Superman is one of the most recognizable figures in American history. This is the first truly comprehensive, narrative account of his life.

NEW ANECDOTES AND STORIES: Tye reveals fascinating and entertaining new facts about the life of Superman, including that he is Jewish!

SUPERMAN REVIVAL: Tye's biography is timely. The first Superman movie in more than twenty-five years came out in 2006, while the hugely popular TV series Smallville, which just concluded its tenth and final season, documented Clark Kent's adolescent years.

Warner Brothers is releasing a new Superman movie in 2012.

INTERVIEWED CLOSE TO 300 PEOPLE: Tye's extensive interviews with the people involved in Superman's history shed light on previously unknown facts and stories about America's hero.

FIRST BOOK OF ITS KIND: While books exist on the life of Superman the character, from his birth on Krypton to his love for Lois Lane, this is the first full-fledged history of Superman's creators, designers, owners, and fans--the people who made him an icon.

Tell the Wolves I'm Home A Novel

THE DIAL PRESS

Carol Rifka Brunt An unforgettable literary debut for fans of Aimee Bender and Charles Baxter, Tell the Wolves I'm Home is the story of an unlikely friendship between two lost souls--a lonely girl and a mysterious stranger--and the ways in which their lives become intertwined as they each try to come to terms with their grief.

There's only one person who has ever truly understood fourteen-year-old June Elbus, and that's her uncle, the renowned painter Finn Weiss. So when he dies far too young of a mysterious illness that her mother can barely bring herself to discuss, June's world is turned upside down. At the funeral, she notices a strange man lingering just beyond the edges of the crowd, and a few days later, June receives a package in the mail. Inside is a beautiful teapot she recognizes from Finn's apartment, and a note from Toby, the stranger, inviting her to meet up with him at a local train station. As it turns out, June isn't the only one who desperately misses Finn, and the unlikely friendship that springs up between these two lost souls will break your heart, even as it heals theirs.

Set against this threat to normal life, The Age of Miracles beautifully maps the effects of catastrophes big and small on the lives of ordinary people, and in particular, one young girl.

IMMEDIATE INTERNATIONAL SENSATION: When Karen Thompson Walker's debut landed on editors' desks in February 2011, it caused an uproar. It was preempted by Random House and by editors in six countries and sold at auction in nineteen others.

CROSSOVER APPEAL: Combining haunting, crystalline prose with a strong story and an ingenious premise, The Age of Miracles is a literary book with huge commercial potential.

It is already being talked about as a book that "promises to lure young adults and adults alike and reach fans of literary and commercial fiction" (The Wall Street Journal).

AUTHOR BACKSTORY: Walker is thirty-one years old. An editor at Simon & Schuster, she speaks eloquently about the novel and its origins. The idea began as a short story and, years later, Walker went on to turn it into a novel, writing for an hour or so a day before work.

RESEARCH: To depict "the slowing" realistically, Walker researched the effects such a change would have on our ecosystems and our lives. The novel is filled with fascinating, unexpected insights into the possible consequences of such a phenomenon.

UNFORGETTABLE NARRATOR: The narrator is instantly sympathetic and appealing--readers will identify with this sharp, observant, sensitive young girl facing ordinary and extraordinary changes in her life. Julia is a character whose voice will linger in readers' minds.

From the winner of Top Chef: Masters and the James Beard Award-winning chef of Red Rooster in New York City comes an inspiring memoir of passion and perseverance that will appeal to fans of Blood, Bones, and Butter and Kitchen Confidential.

Marcus Samuelsson's journey to the top of the food world has been anything but typical: born in Ethiopia, raised by an adoptive family in Sweden, gained fame and fortune in New York at an uncommonly young age, and most recently, staked his reputation on a restaurant in Harlem, Red Rooster, that has since been called "among New York City's most important" places to eat. In Yes, Chef, Samuelsson finally tells the full story of how he got here. This is an extraordinary journey of personal discovery, professional ambition, and the life-long pursuit of flavors.

Samuelsson sheds light on how he went from being orphaned in Ethiopia to cooking in some of the finest, most demanding kitchens in Europe to earning the coveted three stars at the age of twenty-four to dealing with the deeply ingrained prejudices a black man must endure in the very white world of top restaurant kitchens, especially if his goal is to become a world-renowned chef. With the emotional intimacy of Gabrielle Hamilton's Blood, Bones, and Butter, and the warmth and sensory delights of Ruth Reichl's Tender at the Bone, Samuelsson recounts his struggle to find a place for himself in the kitchen, and the world.

Key Points/Quotes AUTHOR CREDENTIALS: In 1995, Samuelsson was the youngest chef ever to receive three stars from The New York Times for his work at Aquavit. In 1999 the James Beard Foundation named him "Rising Star Chef" and then, four years later, "Best Chef in New York." In 2009 he was honored as a guest chef at the White House for the first state dinner under the Obama Administration.

AUTHOR IS A MEDIA STAR: Samuelsson won first place in Bravo's Top Chef: Masters in 2010, has made countless major television appearances, and has been profiled in The New York Times, New York, Travel & Leisure, O: The Oprah Magazine, and People, among others. He'll be appearing on Food Network's Chopped in the spring, and has partnerships with Macy's, Mastercard, and Target.

NEW RESTAURANT GETTING LOTS OF BUZZ: In December 2010, Samuelsson opened Red Rooster in Harlem. The New York Times called it "that rarest of cultural enterprises, one that supports not just the idea or promise of diversity, but diversity itself."

HOT PERSON IN HOT CATEGORY: Bestselling memoirs by Gabrielle Hamilton and Anthony Bourdain prove that everyone still loves to read about food. Samuelsson is a recognizable, nationally known figure whose appeal crosses many boundaries.

EXPECT STRONG ENDORSEMENTS FROM FOOD-WORLD STARS: Samuelsson has a long list of well-known friends who will offer their support.

A thrilling new biography of a man who sought to reform a nation, dared to speak truth to power, and, upon his death, brought the most powerful king in Europe to his knees.

The story of a violent clash between church and state, the book follows the life of Thomas Becket, also known as Saint Thomas of Canterbury, who was assassinated by followers of Henry II in 1170. Becket saw himself as a defender of liberty, the man "who cancels unjust laws." He began his career as Henry's chancellor, charming rulers and popes, taming overmighty barons, leading knights into battle, reforming the law, judging lawsuits, building a bureaucracy, regulating monasteries, and investigating heresies. After becoming Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162, he clashed with Henry, daring to oppose the king's dictates of law. He was thrust into a six-year exile, during which he continued his war of words with Henry from afar. Finally, Becket returned to Canterbury, already guessing his fate, and was murdered by four of Henry's knights. But soon after, the faithful throughout Europe began venerating Becket as a martyr. Just three years after his death he was canonized by Pope Alexander III, and on July 12, 1174, in the midst of the Revolt of 1173-1174, Henry was forced to humble himself with public penance at Becket's tomb, cementing Becket's place forever as an icon of rebellion.

Key Points/Quotes ROYAL CLAMOR: Our fascination with royalty does not seem to be going away, as the continued success of Alison Weir's books, as well as of The Tudors and The Borgias on Showtime, clearly indicates. Guy's book has all the scandal and intrigue that make these works so popular, with the addition of a dramatic portrayal of an icon of rebellion and resistance to power, something more germane now than ever before.

A MODERN LIFE OF THE SAINTS: The book will capture the minds of all those interested in a modern history of one of the Catholic and Anglican Churches' most well-known and important saints.

AUTHOR: Guy is a frequent contributor to BBC radio and television, and writes frequently for various high-profile publications like The Guardian and The Economist.

ACADEMIC POTENTIAL: The book will prove to be an essential addition to any undergraduate course on medieval history.

Freedom's Forge

How American Business Built the Arsenal of Democracy That Won World War II

Arthur Herman For admirers of books by Erik Larson and Stephen Ambrose, here's a great, meaty, and untold story of World War II--how American big business set out to build the weapons and create the industrial muscle to arm the Allies and defeat the Axis, from the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Ghandi & Churchill .

Bestselling author Arthur Herman reveals how two extraordinary American businessmen--the Danish immigrant William Knudsen and shipbuilding industrialist Henry Kaiser--helped corral, cajole, manipulate, and inspire big business around the country to help mobilize the war effort and what later critics would call the American "military-industrial complex," without which the history of America, as well as of the Second World War, would be very different. Together these men changed the face not only of American business and industry but of American society. At the same time their efforts transformed the culture of America's armed services, giving the army, navy, and air force both the tools and the new strategies for securing a postwar global order.

Key Points/Quotes BIG STORY GET ITS DUE: We all know how decisive American war supplies proved in the war effort. And how car factories were turned into munitions plants. But Freedom's Forge is the first book to put all this together in a grand and stirring narrative about the lesser-known heroes of the war.

ACCLAIMED AUTHOR: Herman was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Gandhi & Churchill, which was also among the Washington Post's "Most Favorable Reviews of 2008." Herman's bestselling work, How the Scots Invented the Modern World, totaled 58,000 in hardcover and 286,000 in trade paperback sales and was a New York Times bestseller.

BIG BUSINESS AS HERO: Today we certainly lack for stories about how CEOs and big corporations inspire the populace. Here's the story of how, once upon a time, these businessmen truly helped save America and laid the foundations for postwar life. Among other demographics, business readers will flock to this.

PERSONAL CONNECTION TO THE EVENTS: Many readers will have had a grandfather, or an uncle, or a mom who worked in the local car factory helping build planes, tanks, or guns. This is a story that many will connect to.

STUNNING PHOTOS: A series of gorgeous photographs to illustrate the era.

"A fine history...Mr. Herman has researched Gandhi & Churchill meticulously and written it fluently." --The Wall Street Journal

A major new novel from the New York Times bestseller Kurt Andersen--his most accomplished and engaging to date--a rich and moving epic of one woman's youth in the 1960s and the legacy of that period in contemporary life.

Andersen's most ambitious novel to date opens with Karen Hollander, a distinguished judge in her sixties, having withdrawn herself from consideration for Supreme Court Judgeship. Her reasons have their roots in her youth, and her unforgettable narrative cuts back and forth between a tale of coming of age in the America of the 1960s--culminating in an event that changed the course of her life--and her struggle to come to terms now with the legacy of that time, both in her own life and in the cultural landscape of the country.

Dazzling in its wit and effervescence, this new novel will build on Andersen's considerable audience with its brilliant and funny heroine. It captures perfectly and indelibly not only a critical moment in our history but also its echoes in the way we live now.

From the Medal of Honor recipient, a gripping first-person account of one of the greatest acts of military heroism of our time--and its dramatic aftermath.

In September of 2009, several hundred Taliban ambushed a company of Afghan soldiers and their Marine advisors. The enemy had the company pinned down, with only one exposed road leading in and out of the village.

Twenty-one-year-old Marine Corporal Dakota Meyer disobeyed his commanding officer and took command. Without reinforcements or artillery support, he charged forward down the only road five times under withering fire. He killed a dozen Taliban and rescued 18 Afghans and Americans. The company finally rallied and the enemy pulled back. When the story finally became known, Dakota was awarded the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest honor. Yet the story of that day remains mired in controversy even now.

For a man to charge into fire once requires grit; to do so five times is beyond comprehension. Dakota's performance was the greatest act of courage in the war, because he repeated it and repeated it. In this fast-paced narrative of non-stop action, we hear the story from Dakota's own perspective, and come to know our narrator as a true American hero: a young man raised on a cattle farm in Kentucky with uncompromising morals and a fierce determination to do what's right.

Key Points/Quotes BLACK HAWK DOWN MEETS LONE SURVIVOR: A riveting, no-holds-barred story full of blood, guts, and action, this book has huge commercial potential.

AN AMERICAN HERO: Since receiving the Medal of Honor, Dakota Meyer has garnered tremendous attention and has emerged as a reminder of what courage and valor really mean.

STORY WITH REAL DEPTH: Although the Medal of Honor received extensive media coverage, the real story of what Dakota did remains known only to a few--until now.

THE FOG OF WAR: From disobeying orders to stay out of the battle, to the ramifications following it, Dakota Meyer's story makes vivid the confusion and drama of war.

The bestselling author of Cicero, Anthony Everitt, tells the remarkable, vivid story of the unlikely rise of the greatest empire the world has ever known: Rome.

Historians have long pondered the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, but how was the empire won? Anthony Everitt offers a vivid, erudite, page-turning account of the emergence of antiquity's greatest power and the remarkable personalities that led to a position of greatness unmatched in history. From its founding as a small market town in the eighth century B.C. to Caesar's victory in the Civil War that defeated the Republic and marked the beginning of the Empire, the story of Rome is rich with extraordinary moments and lasting lessons. Everitt shows how Rome almost absentmindedly became the leading power in the Middle East, suggesting that the Romans' strategy of inviting the peoples they defeated to become citizens was instrumental in extending the empire and fostering loyalty.

He outlines the influence Rome has had on our world, from art to the arts of government, and vividly illustrates how every Western power since--including the United States--has sought to be "the new Rome." But he also reveals that even as Rome's empire grew, its constitution began to break down: old habits of compromise were replaced by violence and civil war; unimaginable wealth and power corrupted the traditional virtues of the Republic--at the end of Everitt's narrative, Rome is triumphant everywhere except at Rome itself. Unique in the literature, The Rise of Rome is an epic thrill ride that tells the story of one of the world's greatest civilizations in a galvanizing, contemporary way.

Key Points/Quotes BESTSELLING AUTHOR: With more than 300,000 books in print, Everitt's previous biographies of Hadrian, Cicero, and Augustus have been met with critical acclaim and have established him as an authoritative voice and an unparalleled storyteller.

FRESH PERSPECTIVE: Everitt offers a revolutionary new take on Roman history, a timeless subject that has not received as much attention as one might assume.

NARRATIVE HISTORY: Major episodes are recounted from the point of view of key characters, bringing to life the remarkable individuals who make up Rome's history and coloring the story with personality.

ENDURING INTEREST: The classical world remains endlessly fascinating. From the success of Schiff's Cleopatra to movies like Gladiator and HBO's Rome series, swords and sandals are as popular as ever, appealing to a broad, deep readership.

RELEVANT LESSONS: As Everitt narrates the rise of the world's greatest power, one is subtly reminded of the dangers of imperial overstretching in our own time.

Twilight War

The Fall of an Empire and the Making of America's Vietnam

Fredrik Logevall A groundbreaking history of America's four-decade-long road to war in Vietnam.

This monumental history asks the simple question: How did we end up in a war in Vietnam? To answer that question Fredrik Logevall traces the forty-year path that led us from World War I to the first American casualties in 1959. Using fresh archives in Washington, Hanoi, and Paris, Cornell University Professor of History Fredrik Logevall shows how senior French and United States officials proved unwilling to confront reality in Vietnam, despite having excellent intelligence information at their disposal, and despite possessing their own private doubts about the prospects. And, to an astonishing degree, The Twilight War shows how the problems Americans faced in Vietnam had been faced before them by the French. In Bernard Fall's words, Americans were "dreaming different dreams than the French but walking in the same footsteps."

Key Points/Quotes NEW SOURCES AND GROUNDBREAKING SCHOLARSHIP: Logevall has spent twelve years researching and writing, and tapped into diplomatic archives in Hanoi, Paris, and Washington.

DEFINITIVE HISTORY: There have been numerous books about the Vietnam war itself, but this will become the definitive account of how and why we ended up at war. A riveting story that will be unfamiliar to American readers, featuring epic life-and-death decisions made under profound pressure, a vast mobilization of men and resources, and an extraordinary cast of larger-than-life characters.

MORE THAN 30 PHOTOS THROUGHOUT HIGHLY RELEVANT TODAY: The parallels to Afghanistan are urgent and chilling.

NEW-GENERATION SCHOLAR: A professor of history at Cornell, Logevall is at the forefront of a new generation of scholars writing about America and Vietnam.

THE LOOMING TOWER FOR THE VIETNAM WAR: Just as Lawrence Wright examined the decades-long road to 9/11, Logevall looks further into history than ever before to answer one of the last remaining questions about America's worst war.

"Fredrik Logevall is a wonderful writer and historian. In his new book on the origins of the American war in Vietnam, he gives a fascinating and dramatic account of the French war and its aftermath from the perspectives of the French, the Vietnamese, and the Americans. Using untapped sources and a deep knowledge of diplomatic history, Logevall shows to devastating effect how America found itself on the road to Vietnam."

The Man Who Planted Trees

Lost Groves, Champion Trees, and an Urgent Plan to Save the Planet

Jim Robbins A New York Times reporter explains the science of trees--what we know and, more important, what we don't, and why trees could be the key to our future.

Science writer Jim Robbins has written a provocative, fascinating book with an inspiring narrative at its center about a visionary man who is revolutionizing the way people think about trees. For each of the 872 known species of trees in the United States, there is one that is taller, wider, and hardier than all the others--the champion of its kind. David Milarch is on a mission to find those trees, clone them, and plant their offspring around the world. A burly, hard-living former alcoholic nurseryman from Michigan, Milarch started the Archangel Reforestation project after a transformative near-death experience. Milarch hopes to replenish the diminished genetics of the world's forests with the molecular muscle of the champions, creating a Noah's ark of tree genetics, and so far his efforts have met with astounding success.

Key Points/Quotes CREDIBLE AUTHOR: A science reporter for the New York Times, Jim Robbins is the perfect writer to tell this story. He was the first to report Milarch's work, including his recent cloning of thousand-year-old redwoods, which scientists said could not be done.

LARGER-THAN-LIFE CHARACTER: David Milarch, a burly nurseryman, is an outsized personality, and his fascinating story makes this an informative page turner.

MEDIAGENIC: Milarch's work has been covered in TheNew York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Associated Press, the Today show, Good Morning America, and on the front page of Yahoo News. This is the first time his personal story will be told. He recently gave a TEDx talk for NASA and in December he will be named one of Outside magazine's Super Stars.

AN INSPIRING READ: With trees vanishing, the ecosystem of the earth is facing real danger. The Man Who Planted Trees frames the problem and shows how we can save the trees--and increase the health of the planet.

A SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION: The Man Who Planted Trees argues that it is time to end the scattershot approach to planting trees and begin a conscious, coherent universal tree policy to encourage the planting of the trees most likely to support human life and health.

AUDIENCE OF TREE LOVERS: There is a ready market for this book.

ECO-PACKAGE: We will create an eye-catching eco-friendly package for the book and hope to include a seed in the package or on a book mark.

A LINE DRAWING will open each section that is named for a particular tree (sequoia, bristlecone pine, white oak, etc.).

An inspiring memoir written as a letter to the unknown man who shot the author in the back at age thirteen, rendering him a paraplegic, about the importance of optimism, forgiveness, and enjoying life to its fullest.

When Jerry McGill was growing up in the projects on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the '80s, life looked good: he was excelling as an athlete and as a dancer, he was popular at school, and he seemed to have a bright future ahead of him. But everything changed one night when he was thirteen. Walking home from a New Year's Eve party, Jerry was shot in the back, paralyzed from the waist down. The police never caught the shooter. But rather than settle into depression and anger, McGill has gone on to live a fulfilling and rewarding life, traveling the world, graduating from college and earning a master's degree, campaigning for the rights of the disabled, acting, and teaching. Written as a letter to his assailant, whom he never meets and decides to call Marcus, Dear Marcus reflects on McGill's childhood, the challenges of living with a disability, and the importance of forgiveness and making the most of our gifts. By turns brutally honest and funny, both full of rage and full of heart, Dear Marcus is an inspiring book about finding the strength we all have inside us and living life to its fullest.

Key Points/Quotes INTERESTING PUBLISHING STORY: After self-publishing Dear Marcus, McGill sent a copy of it to Lorrie Moore, who not only read it but reviewed it in The New York Review of Books, which was how it attracted our attention.

INSPIRING: McGill's message of forgiveness and overcoming difficult circumstances is one that every reader can appreciate. For readers of The Other Wes Moore and Darin Strauss's Half a Life.

HANDICAPPED AUDIENCE: Dear Marcus will inspire this audience to dream beyond their handicaps.

AFRICAN AMERICAN AUDIENCE: Dear Marcus is also a story about growing up black in New York at a time when addiction, violence, and extreme poverty were commonplace.

With its insight into that community and the opportunities that allowed McGill to make a better life for himself, the book will appeal to African American church and book groups.

PERFECT FOR COURSE ADOPTION: Like The Other Wes Moore, Dear Marcus is perfect for high school and even middle school readers, for sociology and psychology courses, and for FYE. BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED: There will be evocative chapter-opening photos in addition to the five black-and-white photos throughout.

"Written with passion, honesty, humor, and a stubborn, rebellious optimism, Dear Marcus is like nothing I've ever read. When a bullet in the back told Jerry McGill not to go on, Jerry went on--smiling." --Shalom Auslander, author of Foreskin's Lament "Inspiring." --Lorrie Moore, The New York Review of Books

Darwin's Ghosts

The Secret History of Evolution

Rebecca Stott The real story behind the discovery of evolution--the surprising tale of the geniuses, the renegades, and the infidels who dared to seek out truth and who paved the way for Darwin's Origin of Species.

Evolution is one of the great ideas of our time, but contrary to popular belief, it was not discovered single-handedly by a British genius in the middle of the nineteenth century. It is an idea that emerged over many centuries, and that was cultivated by daring men across the globe who had the imagination to speculate on nature's extraordinary ways and who had the courage to articulate such speculations at a time when to do so was often heresy. In Darwin's Ghosts Rebecca Stott tells the story of the collective discovery of evolution, from Aristotle in Greece in 300 B.C. to the Arab world in the first century through Europe in the mid-eighteenth century and up to the publication of Darwin's book in 1859. This is a fascinating book about the history of ideas in addition to being an insightful study of one of the most important and controversial theories of our time.

Key Points/Quotes PROVOCATIVE AND GROUNDBREAKING: Stott posits that evolution was accepted, developed, and tested collectively by a group of intellectuals of all nationalities and not single-handedly by Charles Darwin. It also demonstrates how evolutionary ideas grew out of alchemy--a notion that has never been suggested before.

EVOLUTION IS A PERENNIALLY FASCINATING TOPIC: Recent bestsellers that center on evolution include Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion and The Greatest Show on Earth and Richard Holmes's The Age of Wonder. Stott fills in the gaps in our knowledge of the theory of evolution, recounting the true history of its various creators, discoverers, and disseminators.

COMBINES NARRATIVE SKILL WITH HISTORICAL ACUMEN: Stott is an interesting hybrid of a writer who is both a novelist (author of Ghostwalk and The Coral Thief) and an affiliated scholar in the department of the history and philosophy of science at Cambridge University. Her writing might best be compared to Dava Sobel's work.

PERSONAL BACKSTORY: Stott has a personal stake in this book that will be helpful in publicity: She was raised in a religious sect that rejected evolution (the page with Darwin's entry was ripped out of her family's encyclopedia). The book's introduction touches on that story.

A groundbreaking book about personal growth that presents a uniquely effective set of four tools that bring about dynamic change in the present and impart a greater understanding of the depth and complexity of the human condition over the long term.

The Tools addresses the most common complaint patients have about psychotherapy: the interminable wait for change to begin. Barry Michels, an L.A.-based therapist, was frustrated by his inability to bring his patients faster relief from the issues that plagued them. He found a mentor in Phil Stutz, a psychiatrist who years before had devised a methodology that arose from a similar disenchantment. The traditional therapeutic model sets its sights on the past, but Stutz and Michels employ an arsenal of tools--exercises that access the power of the unconscious and effectively meet the most persistent problems people face--and the results are electrifying. Stutz and Michels are much sought-after--a recent profile in The New Yorker touted them as an "open secret" in Hollywood--and treat a high-powered and creative clientele. Their first work, The Tools transcends the typical self-help genre because of its paradigm-changing material, the credibility of its authors, and the instant appeal and empowerment of its message.

Key Points/Quotes GREAT ANTICIPATION: The New Yorker profile touched off a firestorm of interest that resulted in a major preempt by all the Bertelsmann publishers around the world. We are planning for simultaneous international publication--a major publishing event of 2012.

A UNIVERSAL MESSAGE: Thus far 31 foreign markets have acquired rights to The Tools, which speaks to the appeal and the universal application of the material.

THE HIGH-POWERED CLIENTELE: Among Stutz's and Michels's patients are Academy Award-winning writers, actors, and directors; studio executives; lawyers; agents; performers. Expect to see bold-faced names coming out as patients as our campaign begins.

THE EXCLUSIVITY FACTOR: Starting with invitation-only workshops for influencers in New York and California, our launch will play off the cachet of Stutz and Michels. The book will for the first time offer wider access to their exclusive method of treatment.

WHO WILL READ THIS BOOK: People interested in improving themselves, deepening creativity, bettering relationships, overcoming fear, and unlocking their full potential--professionally, creatively, and in their private lives.

The Homicide Report

Understanding Murder in America

Jill Leovy From an award-winning Los Angeles Times reporter, this is the definitive exploration of murder in America, wrapped around the up-close narrative of a single, fascinating case that unfolds on the streets of Los Angeles.

In 2007, Jill Leovy embarked on an unprecedented project for the Los Angeles Times: she reported on every one of the 845 murders that occurred in Los Angeles County throughout the year. Documenting the violent deaths of, on average, twenty young people every week led her into a deeper examination of America's murder epidemic. Over the next two years, she followed two LA homicide detectives who worked in one of the city's notorious neighborhoods, what Leovy dubs a "murder enclave." In The Homicide Report, Leovy traces a single, dramatic murder investigation from beginning to end--but she also pans back to offer readers the definitive history of murder in America, and a provocative new theory on why America leads the developed world in violent death.

PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR:Jill Leovy is an award-winning reporter who reported on all of LA's 845 murders in 2001 and studied nearly 15,000 murder cases from across the country.

GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH, PROVOCATIVE NEW THEORY: Leovy conducts research with social scientists, criminologists, cops, judges, social workers, convicts, and many other resources, to develop her own theory of murder in America--that we have cultivated and engineered "murder enclaves" that are responsible for the vast majority of violent deaths in America--and back up her passionate belief that the "six thousand black men on average who are murdered every year don't have to die this way."

DEFINITIVE WORK ON A HUGE AMERICAN SUBJECT: Murderous violence is a distinctive feature of American life, deeply embedded in its culture and history. Leovy weaves into her narrative a fascinating history of murder in America and the latest social science on the subject to illuminate this vital phenomenon.

KALEIDOSCOPIC VIEW OF THE WORLD OF HOMICIDE: Leovy brings readers along as she follows two LA homicide detectives on an investigation. She brings to life the victim and his family, the coroner, the forensic investigators, the DA, the defendant, and the courts.

AMERICA IS FASCINATED BY POLICE WORK: Police procedurals from Law and Order to Patricia Cornwell are America's favorite form of entertainment. In the tradition of books like David Simon's Homicide.

BELOVED SERIES: The Dragonriders of Pern, with millions of copies in Del Rey print, is one of science fiction's most beloved series, and Todd McCaffrey, Anne McCaffrey's son and designated heir to Pern, is helping to keep the dragonriders flying for another generation.

MOTHER AND SON COLLABORATE AGAIN: After reading Dragonsblood, Dragonheart, and Dragongirl, Anne McCaffrey grew so excited about Todd's characters and the situation he had set up on Pern that she asked him if she could collaborate on tying up the series. And so she co-wrote Dragon's Time and now this fifth and final novel of Lorana and Fiona's story.

COLLABORATION SUCCESS: The four previous books Todd and Anne have worked on together have more than 500,000 copies in print.

BESTSELLER: The last Pern hardcover, Dragon's Time, was #21 on the New York Times bestseller list.

A DRAGONRIDER FIRST: For the first time in the history of the Pern novels, a female character will be the leader of the weyr!

Series Overview The Pern novels comprise one of the most beloved and bestselling science fiction series of all time.

Year Zero A Novel

Rob Reid With the same zany humor of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Year Zero satirizes the online music industry and Internet culture with the story of a young lawyer who may be our only hope against aliens who realize they owe such enormous fines on their vast collections of pirated music that it would be a lot cheaper just to destroy the Earth. The author is an Internet business insider who founded the Rhapsody music service.

One of the first Harvard MBAs to specialize in high tech, Rob Reid is a serial entrepreneur who has been involved in many Internet-related ventures. It all comes together in Year Zero, a pitch-perfect look at the intersection of the music world, Washington, D.C., and Internet culture. As young intellectual-property lawyer Nick Carter comes to discover when he receives two very odd visitors late one afternoon, the laws against illegal music downloads have an impact not just around the world--but throughout the galaxy.

The War That Came Early: Coup d'Etat Harry Turtledove From "the standard-bearer of alternate history" (USA Today) comes the fourth installment in Harry Turtledove's landmark World War II series, The War That Came Early--the work of a master operating at the top of his craft.

Building on the events of Hitler's War, West and East, and The Big Switch, this new novel explores the lives of simple soldiers and civilians, as well as great historic leaders, to postulate what might have happened had Chamberlain chosen not to appease Hitler. How would lives have changed? How would history have changed? How would our world have changed?

NEW YORK TIMES EXTENDED LIST: Hitler's War, the first in this series, hit the New York Times extended bestseller list.

TIE-IN: Ties in to the trade paperback publication of book three in this series, The Big Switch (Del Rey, 6/12).

MORE BOOKS TO COME: Del Rey has contracted two more books in The War That Came Early series, to six books total.

POPULAR HISTORICAL SETTING: Books about Nazis continue to captivate the American imagination, and World War II--Turtledove's particular specialty--offers fertile ground for alternate history.

TOTAL BOOKS IN PRINT: Turtledove has more than 2.5 million books in print with Del Rey. BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS: All of the previous books in this series have been featured selections of the Science Fiction Book Club.

"Turtledove is always good, but this return to World War II, one of his favorite turfs, is genuinely brilliant....The characterizations in particular bring the book to extraordinary life." --Booklist, on Hitler's War

Series Overview The War that Came Early hinges on a single question and a single event: What would have happened if Britain's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had refused to allow Hitler to annex the Sudetenland? From this one change comes a wealth of realistic detail and informed speculation.

The Mandel Files, Volume 2: The Nano Flower Peter F. Hamilton

Trade PaPerback original

Del Rey adds a sharply repackaged edition of science fiction bestseller Peter F. Hamilton's futuristic crime thriller The Nano Flower to its list of his latest titles. Set in the near future, the Mandel Files series stars Greg Mandel, a former military officer who was upgraded with psi abilities, which he now uses in his civilian career as a private detective.

Thriller writer Ken Follett, author of Eye of the Needle and Pillars of the Earth, calls Peter F. Hamilton "the owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction." Hamilton also displays a precognitive ability to forecast the issues our future will bring. The Nano Flower, although originally published in the early 1990s, is set in an eerily forecast near-future England suffering from the ravages of global warming and collapsing financial markets.

The War That Came Early: The Big Switch Harry Turtledove From "the standard-bearer of alternate history" (USA Today) comes the trade paperback reissue of the third installment in Harry Turtledove's landmark World War II series, The War That Came Early--the work of a master operating at the top of his craft.

Building on the events of Hitler's War and West and East, this new novel explores the lives of simple soldiers and civilians, as well as great historic leaders, to explore what might have happened had Chamberlain chosen not to appease Hitler. How would lives have changed? How would history have changed? How would our world be changed?

Her chances of success are minimal, but hope springs eternal in the breast of one young, in love, and with a steely resolve to boot. Meanwhile, Jianna's father is on a quest of his own, traveling with a handful of quarrelsome mages to repair the imbalance in the world's magic at its source.

As I Lay Dying is Faulkner’s harrowing account of the Bundren family’s odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury Addie, their wife and mother. Narrated in turn by each of the family members— including Addie herself—as well as others, the novel ranges in mood, from dark comedy to the deepest pathos.

Foreword by C. e. morgan

Foreword by John Jeremiah sullivan

Foreword by marilynne robinson

Light in August, a novel about hopeful perseverance in the face of mortality, features some of Faulkner’s most memorable characters: guileless, dauntless Lena Grove, in search of the father of her unborn child; Reverend Gail Hightower, who is plagued by visions of Confederate horsemen; and Joe Christmas, a desperate, enigmatic drifter consumed by his mixed ancestry.

Absalom, Absalom! is Faulkner’s epic tale of Thomas Sutpen, an enigmatic stranger who comes to Jefferson, Mississippi, in the early 1830s to wrest his mansion out of the muddy bottoms of the north Mississippi wilderness. He was a man, Faulkner wrote, “who wanted sons and the sons destroyed him.”

The Sound and the Fury is the tragedy of the Compson family, featuring some of the most memorable characters in literature: beautiful, rebellious Caddy; the manchild Benjy; haunted, neurotic Quentin; Jason, the brutal cynic; and Dilsey, their black servant. Their lives fragmented and harrowed by history and legacy, the character’s voices and actions mesh to create what is arguably Faulkner’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.

The Romantic Revolution A History

Tim Blanning From an acclaimed historian, a short and comprehensive history of the Romantic Revolution.

Three great revolutions rocked the world in the late eighteenth century. The first two--the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution--have inspired by far the greatest amount of literature. Yet arguably that third great revolution--the Romantic Revolution--was the most fundamental and far-reaching of the trio. From it derive virtually all the central cultural axioms of the modern world, such as the stress on genius; the obsession with sexuality, dreams, and the subconcious; etc.

Tim Blanning will explore this revolution in all its manifestations.

LEADING SCHOLAR IN HIS FIELD: Previously a professor of modern European history at Cambridge, Blanning is the author of the hugely acclaimed The Pursuit of Glory, about which the New York Times raved, "[Blanning] triumphs at it....History writing at its glorious best."

COMPREHENSIVENESS: While most books on this period tend to focus on the visual, Blanning will explore how all different types of mediums were affected by the Romantic movement.

BIG ACADEMIC POTENTIAL: Every college and university has a course on or related to Romanticism. This book fills an important gap, and academics will surely jump at the opportunity to adopt a book on the topic by one of the preeminent scholars of European history.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sophie Kinsella returns with her strongest stand-alone since Remember Me?, with a heroine who brings a whole new level of wit, intelligence, and romance to the social network.

Poppy is thrilled: she is marrying the man of her dreams--Magnus Tavish.

Never mind that his family of footnote-obsessed academics looks down their noses at the fact that she is a physical therapist with no real academic credentials.

Still, Magnus has bestowed upon her the huge family emerald engagement ring.

But...an alarm goes off at the hotel where Poppy's girlfriends are all passing the ring around during a celebratory tea, and in the ensuing melee the ring vanishes!

Then Poppy's cell phone gets swiped by a bicyclist and her only means of immediate communication disappears. She is distraught--until she sees another phone, tossed away in the hotel trash can. Instant relief... she e-mails the new number to all her friends, but then the phone rings, and a strange man's voice demands, "Excuse me, who is this? Why are you answering this number?"

Thus ensues the best, warmest, and funniest Kinsella yet, as Poppy, tied to a stranger by cell, text, and e-mail upends his life and her own in ways neither could have ever imagined.

Key Points/Quotes KINSELLA STAND-ALONE SALES STRONG: Remember Me? has the strongest net sales of all Kinsella titles in hardcover. The ROM of her stand-alones in digital are even stronger than the Shopaholics.

PHENOMENAL ONLINE PRESENCE: Kinsella's Facebook fan page is currently at 315,000 and growing at a rate of 10,000 per month. Her e-newsletter list is growing, and fans are frequently visiting her global website, now anticipating constant, year-round updates. We will build anticipation for I've Got Your Number months before publication.

TIMELY THEME: The social network. As usual, Kinsella has locked into the zeitgeist, this time with a heroine whose lifeline is her cell and text, and who simply can't resist leaping to conclusions about the man whose business and private e-mail she suddenly has access to.

EXCERPT FROM I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER IN STAND-ALONE PAPERBACKS UPON REPRINT ONLINE EXCERPT: We will also include an excerpt in Kinsella's eBook backlist to set up publication.

Meet Laura Vikmanis...mother, dietician, divorcee, and first-time NFL cheerleader at age forty. In fact, the oldest cheerleader in NFL history. The perfect second-act story. Think Legally Blonde meets Private Benjamin meets Flashdance.

At thirty-eight years old, Ohio native Laura Vikmanis, newly separated after a terrible sixteen-year marriage, was finally calling the shots for the first time in her adult life. The mother of two school-aged girls was at a turning point. Thirty pounds overweight and out of shape, Vikmanis signed up for a pole-dancing fitness class. There, she met a former Cincinnati Bengal cheerleader, or Ben-Gal, who complimented her dancing and suggested she try out for the team. Though she was initially certain that she was too old, a seed was planted in her mind. She kept dancing, lost weight, and got in shape. In May 2009 she was accepted onto the Ben-Gals, becoming, at forty, the oldest cheerleader in the NFL. A fish out of water (most of the other cheerleaders are in their twenties), in her two seasons on the squad, Vikmanis has inspired women and men of all ages to "get unstuck."

Her story of overcoming a bad marriage and finding renewed confidence and even love again at midlife is a testament to the power of second acts.

Key Points/Quotes TONS OF MEDIA INTEREST: When the story broke Vikmanis deferred dozens of major media interview requests (except CBS Early Show) until our publication. We should have a great lineup.

FILM DEAL: New Line snapped up the rights to Vikmanis's life story, and a producer and writers are already attached. Her story makes for the perfect vehicle for film.

EVERYONE LOVES A SECOND ACT: Vikmanis's story is all about second acts and following your dreams. Perfect for Mother's Day and beyond, it will provide inspiration to a wide audience. And Vikmanis will be back for the 2011-2012 football season, having made it on the team for the third year in a row.

FOR CHEERLEADING FANS: For anyone who has ever been a cheerleader, or wanted to be one (and you know who you are!), this is a fun and informative read.

About the Author/Illustrator Author Residence: Dayton, OH

LAURA VIKMANIS was born in 1968. She joined the Cincinnati Ben-Gals in 2009 and is the oldest cheerleader in the NFL. A registered dietician and certified personal trainer, she is a graduate of California State University, Long Beach.

New Line has optioned her life story for feature film. She lives in Dayton, Ohio, with her two daughters. AMY SOHN wrote the New York Times-bestselling Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell and Sex and the City: The Movie and is the author of the novels Prospect Park West, Run Catch Kiss, and My Old Man. She has been a columnist for the New York Post and New York magazine, writing about relationships, marriage, and parenting. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter.

Created by Scott Westerfeld; Written by Scott Westerfeld and Devin Grayson; Illustrated by Steven Cummings There are more than 3 million copies in print of Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series, hugely popular YA dystopian novels in which everyone has an operation when they turn sixteen, making them supermodel beautiful.

Uglies: Shay's Story is the first of two original graphic novels that will turn the series on its head.

The New York Times calls the Uglies series "A superb piece of popular art."

Now the Uglies series goes visual in graphic novel form, joining other YA graphic novel success stories such as Twilight and The Warriors that are based on popular prose novel series. Uglies: Shay's Story is set in our own dystopian future and stars the "frenemies" Shay and Tally, as well as all the major characters from the novels.

Key Points/Quotes GRAPHIC NOVEL TRADE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL BESTSELLING SERIES: All four novels in the series--Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and Extras--are New York Times bestsellers, with more than 3 million in print combined.

WORLDWIDE POPULARITY: Rights to the novels have been sold in 27 territories.

ORIGINAL STORY: Fans of the Uglies series fall into two groups: those who love the original point-of-view character, Tally, and those who align with Tally's friend and rival, Shay. Our graphic novels (this is the first of two) will reveal events from Shay's point of view as never seen in the books.

CROSS-PROMOTION IN KOONTZ GRAPHIC NOVEL: A back ad for Uglies: Shay's Story will appear in the back of Dean Koontz's 3/20/12 graphic novel, House of Odd, to reach Koontz's younger fans.

From the author of How to Bake a Perfect Life and The Lost Recipe for Happiness comes another magical, heartfelt novel, perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah and Susan Wiggs.

A minister at a liberal church, Elsa Montgomery used to have it all figured out, but when a gruesome murder strikes her congregation, everything changes. Her faith shaken and her heart broken, Elsa retreats to her hometown, moving into a rental property near her sister, Tamsin. The only thing that makes her feel again is the work she does in a small community garden. Meanwhile, Tamsin, who's always had a perfect life, discovers that her successful husband is a criminal.

Forced to move out of her luxurious home and in with Elsa, Tamsin feels desperate and lost. But when she joins Elsa in her work in the garden, she is surprised to discover how much she enjoys it. These two very different sisters will find renewal, strength, and love as they work together to create something beautiful.

Logavina Street

Life and Death in a Sarajevo Neighborhood

Barbara Demick The first book by the author of Nothing to Envy, an award-winning account of ordinary life in North Korea, Logavina Street chronicles the brutal and devastating three-and-a-half-year siege of Sarajevo as experienced by residents of a neighborhood where Muslims and Christians, Serbs and Croats lived side by side for generations, until war tore them apart.

Logavina Street was a microcosm of Sarajevo. For four centuries, it existed as a quiet, residential area in a city long known for its ethnic and religious tolerance and cosmopolitan charm. On this street of 240 families, Muslims and Christians, Serbs and Croats lived easily together, unified in their common identity as Sarajevans. Then the war came. As she did in her groundbreaking work about North Korea, veteran journalist Barbara Demick tells the story of this brutal war through the lives of ordinary citizens, who struggle with hunger, poverty, sniper fire, and shellings. Logavina Street paints the war and its effects in vivid strokes and reveals the heroism, despair, sorrow, and uncommon faith of its people.

Key Points/Quotes FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK: Logavina Street was originally published in hardcover in 1996 by Andrews and McMeel.

NEW MATERIAL FOR PAPERBACK: Demick is writing a new introduction that will discuss recent developments in the region and a new afterword that will bring readers up to date on the lives of her subjects.

TIMED FOR HISTORIC ANNIVERSARY: April 2012 marks the twentieth anniversary of the Siege of Sarajevo, a devastating, brutal turning point in a war few Americans, to this day, fully understand. Demick's book--and her signature style--is to put a human face on historic events.

AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR: Demick's book on North Korea, Nothing to Envy, was a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award and the winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize. She has won the prestigious George Polk Award and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for her coverage of Sarajevo.

ACADEMIC MARKET: The paperback format presents opportunities for course adoption.

16-PAGE BLACK-AND-WHITE PHOTO INSERT: War photographer John Costello spent four months in Bosnia documenting the war's effects on Sarajevo, capturing startling and unforgettable images of life under siege.

Pirate King

A novel of suspense featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes New York Times Bestseller

Laurie R. King Ahoy! A New York Times bestseller, now in trade paperback and with a bonus short story. Laurie R. King returns with a swashbuckling Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes mystery that ventures into the world of early silent films!

The Home Office ships Mary Russell away from her beloved bees and into the movie-making world when she is called on to investigate the criminal activities that surround England's most popular new movie studio, Fflytte Films. Fflytte's latest film is The Pirates of Penzance, filming in gorgeous Lisbon and sun-drenched Morocco. Looking after the actresses cast as maidens occupies much of Russell's time, but when the director casts actual pirates, the set becomes downright dangerous. Real knives instead of prop knives, pirates who aren't who they seem, kidnappings on the high seas--if Russell doesn't think quickly and act swiftly, neither she nor Holmes is going to survive their journey to the silver screen!

Friendship Bread

R’S CI

Ballantine Books

Darien Gee For fans of Kate Jacobs's The Friday Night Knitting Club and Lolly Winston's Good Grief, Friendship Bread is a deeply felt, utterly charming novel about how three newfound friends and--ultimately--a whole town are brought together by a loaf of Friendship Bread.

Julia Evarts comes home one day to find an unexpected gift of delicious Friendship Bread on her front porch, along with a bag of starter and instructions on how to make more and pass it along. Five years after her son's death, Julia is still at a loss as to how to move on. But to make her daughter, Gracie, happy, Julia prepares the bread, surprising her husband, Mark, who's been keeping their family together since the tragedy. When Julia meets Madeline and Hannah--two newcomers to the town of Avalon--she tentatively sparks a friendship by offering them her extra starter. In no time, everyone in Avalon seems to be baking the Friendship Bread...even Julia's estranged sister, Livvy. Once extremely close, the sisters have not spoken since the death of Julia's son, in which Livvy played a role. But with its transformative effect on people, perhaps Friendship Bread will provide Julia, Mark, and Livvy hope for a new beginning.

How and why children mature when away from home, how to know when they are ready for the separation, and ways parents can support their growth (and not go crazy from missing their kids, too!)--a counterintuitive guide to the power of letting go in an age of attachment parenting, by the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Raising Cain.

Most adults agree: some of our best memories, our sweetest and most enduring moments of change happened out of sight and earshot of our parents.

But as parents ourselves, we seem to have forgotten the transformative power of a little fear and separation. Indeed, as Michael Thompson will show and explain in Homesick and Happy, though it is difficult for the current generation of young parents to accept and act on, the greatest opportunity for maturation in childhood occurs when parents are not present.

A master at evoking the world of children and their inner emotional lives, Thompson illustrates the stages of growth through stories of real children at different ages in a wide variety of short-term separation settings: school trips, first plane flights alone, walking unattended to school, and especially sleep-away summer camp (which many people Thompson talked to said was important to their childhood self-confidence and later happiness than church attendance, family dinners, and even making a varsity team!). Offering guidance on when a child is ready to go away, how to talk to the child before she goes, and how often to be in touch while she is gone, Homesick and Happy is both a guide to letting go in small increments and a meditation for parents on what children need to feel independent, strong, and healthy.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Bruce Willis, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Vince Vaughn, and Rebecca Hall, this is a fast-paced memoir set in the underworld of sports betting.

A wild ride through the high-stakes sports gambling underworld, as seen through the eyes of a young woman who'd come to Las Vegas hoping to land a job as a cocktail waitress and instead found herself seduced by the adrenaline-fueled, high risk/high reward gambler's life, and the complicated, funny, sexy, dangerous, rule-breaking roguish types who became her mentors, her enemies, her family. Raymer brings to life a world that teems with pathos and ecstasy in this wild picaresque that also tells the story of a young woman's crazy, sexy, most unlikely coming-of-age.

Key Points/Quotes SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM RANDOM HOUSE FILMS: Written

by D. V. DeVincentis (High Fidelity, Grosse Point Blank) and directed by Stephen Frears (The Queen, High Fidelity, The Grifters, Dangerous Liaisons), with an all-star cast, Lay the Favorite is scheduled for a 2012 release.

STAR STUDDED: Bruce Willis, Rebecca Hall (as Beth), Catherine Zeta-Jones, Vince Vaughn, and Joshua Jackson all have major parts in the film.

MOVIE TIE-IN COVER FASCINATING SETTING, INCREDIBLE CHARACTERS: Set in the colorful underworld of bookies and hardcore gamblers, Lay the Favorite begins in Vegas and then moves to the wide-open frontier of offshore betting operations. Raymer herself is an enormously appealing fish out of water, surrounded by a wide cast of memorable Sopranos-like characters.

ONE-OF-A-KIND AUTHOR: Beth Raymer worked as a social worker, an in-home stripper, an internet porn entrepreneur, an assistant to a professional gambler, an offshore bookmaker, and a Golden Gloves boxer, before getting an MFA from Columbia and winning a Fulbright Fellowship.

Stan Musial An American Life

George Vecsey National Bestseller

A national bestseller, this definitive profile of the greatest hitter in National League history is sure to please baseball fans, sports history readers, and the St. Louis Cardinals' mammoth following.

"Vecsey's exhaustively researched book, Stan Musial: An American Life, winningly captures the essence of this son of the Depression; it is also filled with yearning for an earlier, perhaps better, time in sports: before steroids and showboating athletes, when the boys of summer traveled to games by train and the World Series ended in mid-October." --The Associated Press

GEORGE VECSEY has been a sports columnist for The New York Times since 1982.

A graduate of Jamaica High and Hofstra College, he considers himself a New York boy who has lived in Kentucky and traveled extensively in Europe.

Just in time for New Year/New You promotions comes a commonsense, practical guide to help couples improve their relationships and start the new year off on a clean slate. PUBLISHED IN HARDCOVER AS SPOUSONOMICS. Have you ever gone to the "dark place" after a fight about who does the dishes more? Do you worry that your job is creating distance in your marriage? Have you sat up at night, obsessing over how much more fun married life used to be? Enter It's Not You, It's the Dishes. In this book, Paula Szuchman and Jenny Anderson--two stars in financial journalism--provide rational, logical solutions (i.e., solutions that actually work!) to thorny emotional issues. The key, they argue, is to think like an economist (and no, you do not need an MBA to do this--just the ability to know that two wrongs will never make one right). For example: that strict 50/50 split on household chores? Extremely inefficient. (See: Comparative Advantage.)

That "amazing" job you spent twenty years gunning for but is now making you--and your husband and kids--miserable? Leave it. (See: Sunk Costs.) It's Not You, It's the Dishes takes easy-to-understand economic principles and applies them to the domestic front. The result is a smart, fun, refreshingly realistic, and deeply researched book, with appeal for both men and women, that brings us one giant step closer to solving the age-old riddle of a happy, healthy marriage.

Key Points/Quotes BRAND-NEW MATERIAL: Including quizzes and a clear, concise "takeaway" for every chapter.

NEW APPROACH WITH BROAD APPEAL: The conversational style and wealth of empowering advice combined with funny charts and graphs and incisive, accessible, economics-based analysis will appeal to the self-help audience but will also speak to even the most practical of couples, men and women alike.

AUTHORITATIVE, ARTICULATE, AND HAPPILY MARRIED (but not to each other) AUTHORS: Szuchman and Anderson are financial journalism stars at the most prestigious newspapers in America and appear frequently on media outlets such as the Today show, ABC News, and NewsHour.

SOLID INSIGHTS AND SOUND ADVICE: Szuchman and Anderson conducted surveys, convened national focus groups, and convinced hundreds of couples to open up about their most intimate issues.

Absolute Monarchs A History of the Papacy

John Julius Norwich New York Times Bestseller

From the legendary British historian, a New York Times bestselling, comprehensive, rollicking, and timely history of the papacy.

After nearly 2,000 years of existence, the papacy is the oldest continuing absolute monarchy in the world. To millions, the Pope is the Vicar of Christ on earth, the infallible interpreter of divine revelation. To millions more, he is the fulfillment of biblical prophecies of the Antichrist. And yet, Absolute Monarchs is no solemn book about pious men of duty. Rather, it is an astonishing tale filled with rip-roaring stories of violence, sex, wars, and politics.

Key Points/Quotes

978-0-8129-7884-1 $18.00/$21.00 Can. History: Random House HC (7/11)

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LEGENDARY HISTORIAN: John Julius Norwich is a member of the British House of Lords and is one of the most visible, popular, and esteemed historians of our time. A frequent television commentator in the UK, and the author of a number of classic histories, he is one of the few authors with the range, sweeping style, and wit to carry off this monumental history. He has even had two private audiences--with Pius XII and Paul VI--and knew both John XXIII and John Paul I before their respective elevations.

CONTROVERSY: Not only does today's news continue to be filled with stories about the scandals in the Catholic Church, but the very purposes and utility of the papacy itself have come under question. This is a hot subject with particular relevance to today's debates.

FASCINATING CHARACTERS: From Saint Peter, the very first Pope, to the (fictitious) Pope Joan to Pope John Paul II, and through present-day's Benedict XVI, the papacy has been a position for some of the most colorful and powerful figures in Western history.

WAS POPE JOHN PAUL I MURDERED? Lord Norwich comes to a surprising conclusion.

Bright's Passage

R’S CI

Josh Ritter

NatioNal Bestseller

The wondrous first novel--and national bestseller--from one of the most acclaimed songwriters of his generation.

Henry Bright, a sweet, rough-hewn farmer newly returned to his native West Virginia from the trenches of World War I France, is grief-struck at the death of his young wife, and unsure of how to care for the infant son she left behind. But Bright believes he has brought back from the war an angel, and his angel has a plan for all of them. As Bright, his newborn, his cantankerous goat, and his angel make their way through a landscape ravaged by forest fire toward an uncertain future, they are pursued all the while by the Colonel, father of Bright's dearly departed bride, now hellbent on his destruction. At times harrowing, at times very funny, and always possessed of the sheer gorgeousness and unique imagination that have made Josh Ritter's songs beloved by so many, this is the debut of a virtuoso fiction writer.

The Eighty-Dollar Champion

Snowman, The Horse That Inspired a Nation

Ballantine Books

Elizabeth Letts

New York Times Bestseller

The Eighty-Dollar Champion is the dramatic odyssey of a horse called Snowman, saved from the slaughterhouse by a young Dutch farmer named Harry. Together, Harry and Snowman went on to become unlikely champions who stole the heart of America.

Author Elizabeth Letts tells the dramatic and powerful true story of this unlikely duo's rise to stardom. From the de Leyer family farm in Harry's native Holland, through the horrors of the Nazi occupation, to Harry's hope of a new life in America, where his spirit and drive were matched by those of the plow horse he saved from a slaughterhouse van. One show at a time, against extraordinary odds, the pair rose to the very top of the sport of show jumping. Their journey captured the imagination of Cold War-era America, and their story is one of unstoppable hope and unshakable faith.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER: The hardcover debuted at #10 on the nonfiction list.

SNOWMAN WAS A CELEBRITY IN HIS DAY: Snowman and Harry appeared on numerous national TV shows including Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett, and What's My Line? Many Americans who were born in the 1940s or earlier will remember this legendary horse.

A BROAD-REACHING STORY OF TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY: As with Seabiscuit, you don't have to be a horse lover to fall in love with Snowman. This underdog story will appeal to audiences from fans of gripping narrative nonfiction, to book clubs, to history buffs. The book also has strong YA appeal.

SNOWMAN'S OWNER/RIDER WILL HELP PUBLICIZE: Harry is a sprightly eighty-four and has been fully involved in the writing of this book. He is eager to be involved in publicity.

BEAUTIFUL B&W PHOTOS AND IMAGES THROUGHOUT "It's the classic American dream story, with a down-on-its-luck horse galloping in for good measure." --USA Today "Letts...details the intricacies of the show world beautifully, so that even a non-fan will comprehend the ins and outs of the competition. But it's the nature of the relationship between the people in his life and this remarkable, humble horse that will captivate the reader. It's a must for any horse lover's library." --The Star-Ledger

The Very Picture of You

R’S CI

Isabel Wolff From the internationally bestselling author of A Vintage Affair, and ideal for the readership of Allegra Goodman and Nancy Thayer, comes Isabel Wolff's beguiling new novel, where if a picture tells a thousand words about its subject, it says even more about its painter.

Ella Saville paints the portraits of memorable characters--from a womanizing marquess to a beautiful eighty-year-old--but it's three portraits that will change her life forever. First, there is her future brother-in-law: boorish, boring, American.

Next, there is a posthumous portrait of a cyclist, a young girl who teaches Ella through painting that life is meant to be lived to its fullest. Finally, there is the secret portrait Ella has been working on for years, one of a person who has had the most profound influence on her life, and whose absence is the most keenly felt. In vibrant, vivacious prose, with humor and grace, Wolff paints a captivating portrait of Ella, a deeply human masterpiece.

Game of Secrets

R’S CI

Dawn Tripp The bestselling novel by award-winning author Dawn Tripp about two families bound together by a dark secret, and the board game that offers them the opportunity to untangle their tragic past.

In 1957, eleven-year-old Jane Weld's father disappeared. No one in this small New England town knew for sure what had happened until his skull rolled out of a gravel bank by the river four years later, an unmistakable bullet hole in the temple.

Rumor had it he was murdered by the husband of his mistress, Ada Varick. Half a century later, Jane and Ada come together for a casual game of Scrabble that soon is transformed into a cat-and-mouse game of words long left unspoken and dark secrets best left untold. As the two women play out, across the board, the stories that bind their lives together, it becomes clear that not only the past but the future of both families is at stake.

Have you ever had your heart broken? This novel will delight and cheer any woman who's ever been dumped and wished she could get even!

How did you get over your worst breakup?

This is the tale of Ashleigh's journey from love to lunacy and back again. It's hilarious and touching, and if you've ever recalled a past heartbreak with embarrassment and an urge to go into hiding, Getting Over Mr. Right is the perfect antidote for the postbreakup blues.

Ballantine Books

Nancy Thayer From the New York Times bestselling author of Summer House and Beachcombers, Nancy Thayer's Heat Wave tells the moving story of a woman who, after her seemingly perfect life unravels, must find the strength to live and love again.

After her husband's sudden death, thirty-two-year-old Carley Winstead is in for even more shocks: the family finances are in dire straits. The young widow, however, devises a plan to keep her two daughters in their beloved Nantucket home: transforming the grand historic house into a bed-and-breakfast.

Complicating her many challenges, a friend forces Carley to keep a secret that, if revealed, will undo families and friendships; and when her late husband's former law partner keeps showing up at the most unexpected times, Carley faces an array of mixed feelings. But then, during a late-summer heat wave, the lives of Carley and her friends and family are forever changed in entirely unexpected ways.

Supergods National Bestseller

What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human

Grant Morrison

new material

For the millions of people who know and love the great pantheon of superheroes, here's a brilliant and wildly entertaining exploration of the phenomenon--the story of how our culture gave birth to these otherworldly heroes, how they've changed as we've changed, and how they've transformed us.

From the most acclaimed and oracular writer in the comics world, here is a mind-jolting look at one of the most ubiquitous, beloved, and misunderstood of American creations: our superheroes. Much more than a book about comics or pop ephemera, Supergods is a polymathic, intellectually exhilarating book about us: our culture, our history, our future, and the heroic power of the stories we tell.

Home Again A Novel

Ballantine Books

Kristin Hannah first time in tP

Available for the first time in trade paperback, New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah's Home Again is a novel of love, hope, and the power of miracles.

At the center of Home Again is Madelaine, a brilliant cardiologist, a loving mother, a tender friend, a woman full of self-doubt. It is the story of her daughter, Lina, a confused and angry rebel, and of the two very different men Madelaine loves: Francis, a priest searching for his faith, and Angel, a talented but cynical man. When tragedy brings them together again, they must learn to forgive the betrayals of the past and find the courage to love again. Touching and inspiring, it is also a story of modern-day miracles--medical, and, perhaps, those not of this world.

The Twelfth Enchantment

R’S CI

Ballantine Books

David Liss The critically acclaimed historical suspense novelist turns in a new direction with this gripping novel set in Regency England, featuring an unforgettable heroine and a touch of magic.

Lucy Derrick is a young Regency woman of good breeding and poor finances: after the death of her father, she is forced to maintain a shabby dignity as an unwanted boarder with her unpleasant uncle, fending off marriage to the local mill owner, Mr. Olson. But her prospects of even that unwanted match are complicated by the appearance of a beautiful stricken man who appears on the family doorstep begging her not to marry Mr. Olson just as he collapses. This appearance seems to open the door to a series of increasingly strange occurrences surrounding Lucy.

Soon it becomes clear that there is more at stake than her own happiness--and that she is caught between two forces, one ancient and one modern--and that the soul of her very country is at stake.

The Girl in the Blue Beret

R’S CI

Bobbie Ann Mason Inspired by a true story, the bestselling author of In Country offers a gorgeous, haunting novel about an airline pilot coming to terms with his past and searching for the people who saved him during World War II. Marshall Stone was a confident, cocksure pilot when his B-17 bomber was shot down in 1944, and he had to rely solely on the help of the French Resistance to evade the Nazis. But after the war, Marshall returned to America, raised a family, and became a successful airline pilot, never stopping to look back. Now, in 1980, facing forced retirement, he returns to France and finds himself drawn back in time, to memories of the crash, to the long months of hiding. Haunted by the war and the sacrifice of his saviors--especially the young girl in the blue beret, who guided him through occupied Paris--Marshall searches for the people who helped him escape, and discovers the astonishing truth about them. A beautifully woven story of love, war, and second chances, inspired by her father-in-law's experience, this is Bobbie Ann Mason at her finest.

COMPELLING, EMOTIONAL FICTION: Schwartz has always written about characters in the most dramatic moments of their lives. Here, he brings to life a family fractured by tragedy, struggling to reunite.

SUCCESS OF RESERVATION ROAD: With more than 250,000 copies in print and a feature film, Reservation Road has entered the hearts of many readers.

"The power of Northwest Corner...is in the way it asks the hardest questions of human experience with subtle grace...With quiet command, the author suggests a far less cathartic, more complicated reality--that these damaged lives will forever be lived in the limbo between the two. It's the devastating endnote to one of the most emotionally commanding novels of the year." --NPR "While this isn't the first story about the indestructible bonds of family, it's an especially nuanced and moving one." --The New York Times "Multiple viewpoints are usually jarring, interrupting the flow of a novel, but not here: In Schwartz's hands, the narrative unfolds delicately, each chapter a puzzle piece that fits seamlessly into the whole. It's painful to watch the two men confront their lives--but it's also exhilarating." --Entertainment Weekly

BESTSELLER: The hardcover edition hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

NEW MATERIAL FOR THE PAPERBACK EDITION: A discussion guide and a question and answer with the author will be included in the back of the paperback.

TREMENDOUSLY PROMOTABLE AUTHOR: Mycoskie is a charming, passionate, and mediagenic evangelist for his ideas, and is extremely well connected. Bill Clinton called him "One of the most interesting entrepreneurs [I've] ever met." He's been a reality show contestant (The Amazing Race) and featured in a popular American Express ad campaign, and has become an in-demand speaker on the college lecture circuit. He's one of the most media-savvy authors you're likely to meet.

MANIFESTO FOR CONSCIOUS CAPITALISM: One for One is a new way to think about business and life. The core of TOMS's "one for one" philosophy is a pledge to give one pair of shoes to a child in need for each pair sold; TOMS has now given away more than a million pairs of shoes. The book expands this core idea into six counterintuitive principles that provide a blueprint for a meaningful, happy, and productive life that anyone can follow.

COMPELLING NARRATIVE: While exploring the six core principles, readers will follow the story of TOMS--the dramatic business story of its founding, various reversals, and eventual success, and also the story of Blake's missions around the world, giving away shoes to kids in need from Latin America and Central Africa to right here in America. His contagious love of business and philanthropy and fun will inspire and motivate readers.

PART OF A MOVEMENT: The publication will be a major initiative for TOMS and the One for One movement. More than 250,000 people participated in TOMS's "Day Without Shoes" events this year, and the movement has received support from its various corporate and retail partners (Bergdorf Goodman and Whole Foods included), many of whom will also support publication.

OUR OWN ONE-FOR-ONE PROMOTION: For every copy sold, Random House will give a book to a child in need through the First Book program.

TONY HSIEH, TIM FERRISS, and other notable business pioneers will contribute their stories of counterintuitive business practices to the book.

New York Times bestselling author of Me & Emma Elizabeth Flock returns to her most beloved characters--and introduces an unforgettable new mother-daughter pair--in this remarkable stand-alone novel about a young girl who uncovers a life-altering family secret.

In the New York Times bestseller Me & Emma, Elizabeth Flock thoroughly captivated readers with her plucky eight-year-old narrator, Carrie, who invented a charismatic younger sister, Emma, to help her cope with her father's death, an unhappy relationship with her mother and new stepfather, and the family's devastating poverty. In this stand-alone novel, Carrie and her mother have fled their small North Carolina town, looking for a fresh start, when they meet another mother-daughter pair, Honor and Cricket, with a troubled past of their own. Carrie and Cricket become fast friends, especially when they discover a surprising secret that could change both of their lives forever.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER: Me & Emma is Flock's bestselling novel, with more than 500,000 copies sold worldwide. It spent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

STAND-ALONE PLOT: What Happened to My Sister returns to the same characters as Me & Emma and introduces great new characters with a captivating plot that functions as a completely independent novel.

Praise for Me & Emma:

"Deftly capturing the hidden thoughts of an emotionally bereft child, Flock's haunting second novel, reminiscent of Kaye Gibbons' Ellen Foster, is not soon forgotten." -Booklist "Flock captures Carrie's powerlessness and resourcefulness beautifully...tremendously touching." --Kirkus Reviews "Flock's deceptively simple prose belies not only a seriousness in subject matter but also clever subtleties in the plot....Suffice it to say, you won't soon forget Carrie Parker and her little sister, Emma." --BookReporter

In response to her mesmerizing debut, Sweeping Up Glass, Carolyn Wall has been compared to luminaries like Harper Lee, Eudora Welty, Charles Portis, and Flannery O'Connor. Now, with her second stunning novel, Wall returns to deliver a mesmerizing tale of loss, of guilt, and of redemption.

Clea Shine grew up tough because she had to. Her mother's drinking, her husband's philandering, and the poverty of her youth have hardened her. After one betrayal too many, she packs her kids into the car and drives home--to the clapboard house of the woman who raised her, Jerusha Lovemore. Clea and Jerusha have a bond beyond blood, a respect for the sacrifices they have made for one another, and something as deep and powerful as love. Their relationship will be put to the test as Clea delves into her past, searches through the wreckage of a troubled youth for clues as to why happiness is so elusive. A storm is coming to this Mississippi town, and it will blow the roof from the house, exposing the secrets that have been kept from Clea her entire life...

Key Points/Quotes TRADE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL AWARD-WINNING: Wall's first novel, Sweeping Up Glass, won the Best Novel award at the Oklahoma Book Awards. It also was norminated for a Barry Award.

MORE ACCOLADES: Sweeping Up Glass was named a "Best of Genre Fiction" by Library Journal and selected as the One Book One Community pick for Thousand Oaks, California.

WORLD SALES: Rights for Wall's novels have been sold in six territories.

"The writing is filled with arresting images, bitter humor, and characters with palpable physical presence. The fresh voice of that clear-eyed narrator reminded me of Scout in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. I literally could not put it down." --The Boston Globe, on Sweeping Up Glass "This is a perfect little book, like a head-on collision between Flannery O'Connor and Harper Lee, with a bit of Faulkner on a mystery binge. I loved every page of it. Just my kind of book." --Joe R. Landsdale, Edgar Award winner, on Sweeping Up Glass "By the end this rich literary portrait of a woman and a place unexpectedly transforms into a surprise-filled thriller." --The New York Times, on Sweeping Up Glass

From the author whose last book Lee Child said was "The best thing I've read in a long time." The acclaimed novelist of Safer returns with a mesmerizing story of tragedy, revenge, and redemption. When Wade Benson fell asleep at the wheel, his life was changed forever, and the young life of Becky Morse was ended. Five years later, his reckoning for his entire family has come in the form of two veterans in a story taut as piano wire.

Wade Benson didn't mean to fall asleep at the wheel, but when he did, the resulting crash killed Becky Morse. Five years later, Benson serves the anniversary of that night in prison, but two men don't believe that is punishment enough... Darryl and Mike served together in Afghanistan, forming a bond of friendship forged in blood. When Benson's daughter, Juliet, is kidnapped on the anniversary, and Darryl vanishes with Mike's car, the only thing a fellow soldier can do is try to talk some sense into his comrade before the police reach him.

This begins the hunt for a young woman in peril, and a high-stakes, every-second-counts thriller.

Trade Paperback original

The enthralling trilogy that began with Becoming Marie Antoinette follows one of history's most beloved and notorious figures as Marie Antoinette ascends to the throne, building the vast splendor that made her famous in the face of the dark sorrow that would eventually bring her down.

Paris, 1774. Eighteen-year-old Marie Antoinette has just ascended to the throne of France, along with her husband, Louis XVI. But life is not easy for the young royals. Despite increased pressure to produce a male heir, Louis is still unable to consummate the marriage, and countless scandals erupt as Marie Antoinette tries to forge her own identity in a court and a kingdom that will always see her as a foreigner. As she forever influences fashion with her lavish gowns and sparkling jewels, Marie Antoinette faces romantic scandal, and ripples of revolution begin spreading across the country, though no one can predict what lies ahead...

A RANDOM HOUSE READER'S CIRCLE TRADE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL: Perfectly priced and formatted for a great book club read.

SECOND IN A TRILOGY BUT STANDS ALONE: In the tradition of Sandra Gulland's bestselling Josephine Bonaparte trilogy, this comes after Becoming Marie Antoinette (Ballantine trade paperback, 8/11) and will be followed by a third novel in 2013.

GAME-CHANGING NEW TWIST ON A POPULAR SUBJECT: Marie Antoinette has long been the subject of public fascination, with several successful books and movies about her life. Often, she is portrayed as a flighty, extravagant caricature; Juliet Grey instead shines a spotlight on the lesser known (but still pivotal) events that depict a far more nuanced and sympathetic young woman than history has remembered.

BACKED BY IMPECCABLE RESEARCH, including original letters, and filled with surprises, such as the depiction of a controversial affair that Marie Antoinette may have had with Swedish diplomat Axel von Fersten.

EXCERPT INCLUDED: There will be a teaser chapter from the third novel included to keep readers wanting more.

Praise for Becoming Marie Antoinette:

"A thoroughly enjoyable novel, brimming with delightful details. Grey writes elegantly and with charming humor, bringing 'Toinette' vividly to life." --Sandra Gulland, bestselling author of the Josephine Bonaparte trilogy "Beautifully written, with attention paid to even the smallest detail, Becoming Marie Antoinette will leave readers wanting more!" --Michelle Moran, bestselling author of Madame Tussaud

From an award-winning NPR producer comes a funny, heartbreaking mashup of memoir and reportage, a tale of lost love and second chances, and a ghost story like no other...

This is a story about a boy. A boy who became very lost. It's a story about the girl who helped him find his way. Then she left him on his own. Then she died. It's a story about spending twenty years trying to forget one year of your life. It's a story about eventually turning to the thing you fear most to help you remember.

It's a story about ghosts. It's a story about what it means to be haunted. It's a story about Laura. So begins this funny and heartbreaking coming-of-age story for everyone who ever felt as if they didn't fit in. While growing up in Ohio in the early 1980s, Eric Nuzum became convinced that he was being haunted by an unlikely--but to him quite terrifying--ghost: a little girl in a blue dress who lived in his parents' attic. Isolated from his family and friends, teenage Eric had one saving grace in his life: his friendship with Laura, a high school classmate. In his hour of need, she walked him back from the brink--only to become a ghost herself in a tragic twist of fate. Years later, Eric decides to reckon with his ghost phobia, and he enlists his friends on a series of road trips to some of America's most haunted places. But deep down he knows it's only when he digs up the ghosts of his past, especially Laura, that he'll find the peace he's looking for.

Key Points/Quotes TRADE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL POWERFUL STORY OF FRIENDSHIP AND PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION: Nuzum's road to redemption is moving and inspiring, as is the bittersweet relationship that set him on the right path.

TAPS INTO A PERENNIAL FASCINATION WITH GHOSTS: Nuzum's present-day forays to Gettysburg, Mansfield Prison, and New Jersey's infamous Clinton Road make for a fun, teasing look at whether or not ghosts are real.

AUTHOR'S DAY JOB: Nuzum is currently serving as Acting Vice-President for Programming at National Public Radio.

FEATURING PHOTOS: Will include black-and-white photos from the author's past.

"A highly unusual, wildly specific story about love and death and confusion. But its power comes from an universal realization: Very often, our memory of a person matters more than whatever actually happened."--Chuck Klosterman, author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs "A powerfully sad and evocative memoir, with a painfully vivid sense of Midwest teenage-wasteland dread. [It] can make you wonder if there's any difference between being young and being haunted."--Rob Sheffield, author of Love Is a Mixtape

Master of the true crime genre, world renowned serial killer expert, and author of The Serial Killer Files, Harold Schechter offers up a hair-raising, page-turning compendium of utterly fascinating yet unknown true tales of American murder and mayhem.

An entire world of fascinating historical crime remains unfamiliar to all but devoted scholars of the subject: horrific murders that were, in their day, genuine cultural phenomena, dominating headlines and exerting a powerful grip on the public imagination. Generally these crimes contained some particularly nightmarish element--a taste of "the sublime of horror," as one nineteenth-century journalist put it. Sometimes before fading into obscurity, they inspired literature like Poe's masterpiece The Tell-Tale Heart. In this riveting collection, Harold Schechter reimagines scores of the most sensational murders that in their day shocked the nation. With exacting, chilling detail, Schechter's carefully researched narrative reconstructions bring to vivid life these scandalous crimes.

Key Points/Quotes TRADE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL: Schechter's previous crime compendiums are perennial backlist sellers in this format.

UNIQUE HISTORICAL SCHOLARSHIP: Professor of American Literature and Culture, Schechter brings his research expertise and elegant writing style into unexplored literary territory, uncovering sensational stories of America's dark side that have been long forgotten.

FASCINATING SIDEBARS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: With intriguing sidebars of cultural and historical information as well as titillating artwork, Psycho USA is an entirely gripping compendium of brilliantly written, to-die-for narratives.

ACCLAIMED AUTHOR: Aficionados of historical true crime consider Schechter the premier expert in the field. Earning raves from Entertainment Weekly to Publishers Weekly, critics and readers alike love Harold Schechter's cultural commentary, elegant prose, and mordant wit.

HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER MEDIA PERSONALITY: Schechter is a national media figure, having made countless appearances on the History Channel, CNN, MSNBC, and Court TV as an expert on pathology and serial killers.

"Schechter's writing keeps you turning the pages." --Syracuse Herald-American " The scholarship is both genuine and fascinating." --The Boston Book Review on The A to Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers

Amanda Eyre Ward "A beautiful, haunting story of a woman who learns to come to terms with a dark, deep family secret." --Tatiana de Rosnay, author of Sarah's Key, on the gripping new novel from the author of How to Be Lost.

The haunting, page-turning new novel from award-winning author Amanda Eyre Ward centers on the unforgettable character Lauren Mahdian: a woman coming to terms with her mother's murder at the hands of her father when she was a child. As Lauren begins to peek under the floorboards of carefully constructed memories, she begins to question the version of her family's past she has so fiercely clung to all along.

A RANDOM HOUSE READER'S CIRCLE SELECTION: Perfectly priced and formatted for a great book club read.

HIGHLY PROMOTABLE AUTHOR: Ward is warm, wonderfully articulate, and savvy. She has given winning interviews on NPR, Austin Public Radio, and Milwaukee Public Radio.

She is also well connected in the fiction community, having garnered endorsements from such bestselling authors as Julia Glass, Tatiana de Rosnay, and Lisa Unger.

FAMILY STORIES: Close Your Eyes is most similar to Ward's most successful novel, How to Be Lost (175,000 copies in print)--a family story with a tangled mystery at its heart. It operates on two levels simultaneously--as a riveting mystery and as an engrossing character-driven family story.

**Winner of the Elle Magazine Reader's Prize**

"A literary whodunit...a finely woven tale of two women who have never met but whose lives are inextricably linked... The story of how their worlds collide is both an absorbing mystery and a stirring journey to redemption." --People, 4-star review "With Close Your Eyes, Austin novelist Amanda Eyre Ward puts another jewel in her crown as the reigning doyenne of 'dark secrets' literary fiction." --The Dallas Morning News "Ward's strength lies in her insightful characterizations. Lauren and Sylvia are deftly and lovingly drawn as each struggles with her pain, eventually finding courage and, ultimately, hanging hard on to shards of family and hope." --New Orleans Times-Picayune

Soon to be a major motion picture directed by John Madden and starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy, and Dev Patel!

When Ravi Kapoor, an overworked London doctor, is driven beyond endurance by his obnoxious father-in-law, he asks his wife: "Can't we just send him away somewhere? Somewhere far, far away." His prayer seems to have been answered when his entrepreneurial cousin, Sonny, sets up a retirement home, re-creating a lost corner of England in a converted guesthouse in Bangalore. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel tells the story of the group of British pensioners who are enticed by Ravi's promise of a life of luxury at a bargain price. Upon their arrival in India, they are dismayed to find that restoration of the once elegant hotel has stalled. There is water...sometimes. And electricity...sometimes. But the retirees begin settling into this strange new world and creating bonds with one another. What their new life lacks in luxury they come to find is plentiful in adventure, stunning beauty, peace, love...and a few surprises for everyone.

A Love Story

Christina Haag The instant New York Times bestseller--a beautiful and moving love story about the author's fifteen-year friendship and eventual love affair with John F. Kennedy Jr. Christina Haag first met John at the age of fifteen, when they hung out in the same circle of prep-school kids in Manhattan. When he went to boarding school at Andover, they saw each other during school breaks. At Brown, they shared a house and acted together in student productions. Back in New York, Christina attended Juilliard to continue her acting career, and John eventually went to law school. They continued to act together, and one day John announced his years-long crush. They embarked on a five-year relationship, which ended when John decided he was not ready to marry or settle down. This is a passionate, beautifully crafted story about first love that will feel universal--except that it happens to be about the most adored American figure of a generation.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER IN HARDCOVER NEW PACKAGE: Featuring a gorgeous photograph of John Kennedy Jr. Photos also open each chapter.

UNIVERSAL STORY: Despite its famous subjects, readers of the hardcover responded to the book as a moving portrait of formative young love, which is lost but which we still carry in our hearts (see quotes below).

FANTASTIC WRITING: Reviewers have all mentioned their delight at the beauty and intelligence of the writing.

HUGE PERENNIAL INTEREST: John Kennedy Jr. was our American Prince, and interest in him never wanes. Here is a love story that reveals who he was from the most intimate perspective.

RARE PERSPECTIVE: Christina first met John when they were both fifteen. She knows him in a way no one else did, throughout different phases in his life.

VICARIOUS READ/THRILL: We all have wished we were Christina--every girl fantasized about a relationship with John John. Through Christina, we get to experience what being his girlfriend was like.

GOSSIP FACTOR: Yes, there are amazing untold stories about the Kennedy clan.

The cover of the New York Times book review and the daily New York Times were only two of the avalanche of over-the-top reviews for this emotional and cerebral tour de force from bestselling and critically acclaimed novelist Arthur Phillips, "one of the best writers in America" (The Washington Post).

The main character of The Tragedy of Arthur is a young man struggling with the legacy of a larger-than-life father, a con artist capable of working wonders of deception, but essentially unreliable. When Arthur's father, imprisoned for decades--and nearing the end of his life--informs Arthur of a secret family legacy awaiting them in a bank vault, Arthur and his twin sister become the owners of an undiscovered play by William Shakespeare, titled The Tragedy of Arthur. He wants Arthur to bring it to Random House to be published. It is either a great gift to literature and the world--or their father's last great con.

A virtuosic work, The Tragedy of Arthur movingly captures romantic and familial love and betrayal, while simultaneously jousting with the tension between storytelling and truthtelling, the anxiety of influence in both personal and artistic lives, and the act of literary mythmaking. The novel both stands on its own and deepens in resonance with the play as the two Arthurs--Arthur the novelist and Arthur the king--play out their individual but intertwined fates.

Key Points/Quotes A RANDOM HOUSE READER'S CIRCLE SELECTION: Perfectly priced and formatted for a great book club read.

CRITICAL DARLING: Phillips's last two novels, The Song Is You and the hardcover edition of The Tragedy of Arthur, were reviewed on the front cover of The New York Times Book Review with the latter being called "splendidly devious."

SALES SUCCESS: There are 150,000 trade paperback copies of Phillips's first novel, Prague, more than 95,000 trade paperback copies of The Egyptologist, and more than 40,000 trade paperback copies of The Song Is You in print.

A LITERARY FEAT: Phillips has written a new Shakespeare play that experts have read and said is nearly indistinguishable from the work of the Bard. This--as well as the faux memoir structure of the book--are great publicity hooks. And yet Phillips keenly balances these clever stunts with a genuinely powerful emotional story that addresses itself to the universal themes of love, yearning, and ambition. "[Phillips's] best trick is to balance a moving story of familial and romantic love on a deliberately unsteady fictional edifice....[An] exuberant chimera of a novel. Boldly he includes the full five-act play itself, a virtuosic counterfeit." --The New Yorker

For the first time in trade paperback, the searing legal thriller from #1 bestselling juggernaut John Grisham. An innocent man is about to be executed. Only a guilty man can save him.

For every innocent man sent to prison, there is a guilty one left on the outside.

Travis Boyette is such a man. In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, he abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row. Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in Kansas for a different crime; Donté is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor. For the first time in his miserable life, he decides to do what's right and confess. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they're about to execute an innocent man?

Key Points/Quotes CROSS-SELL: The Confession in trade paperback will publish three months prior to the latest Grisham mass market from Bantam, a legal thriller called The Litigators.

MORE TO COME: The Confession will precede a new Grisham hardcover, coming from Doubleday in Fall 2012.

BEST OF: The Confession was named one of the best works of fiction and poetry by the Washington Post and won the inaugural Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction. #1 BESTSELLER: Grisham is a perennial bestseller; his books routinely hit #1. His previous trade paperback, the story collection Ford County, spent five weeks in the top ten of the New York Times bestseller list while simultaneously being in the top ten on the mass list!

MORE THAN 100 MILLION IN PRINT: Dell now has more than 123 million copies of John Grisham's powerful, absorbing legal thrillers in print!

FLYING OFF THE SHELVES: The backlist for John Grisham sells better than the frontlist for most other authors! His rate of movement on each backlist title holds steady in the thousands each month.

"A superb work of social criticism in the literary troublemaker tradition of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle." --The Washington Post

Fans of Jacqueline Winspear's sleuth Maisie Dobbs, rejoice--there's Hope!

In England's darkest hours, Maggie Hope is a plucky, patriotic, codebreaking secret weapon, but is this exciting new heroine also a pawn in a deadly game? And does her proximity to Winston Churchill put both of them, and all of England, in the gravest danger?

Maggie Hope was planning to visit London only long enough to sell her grandmother's leaky Victorian house. When England declares war on Germany and Churchill rises to power, she stays, wanting to do her part for her adopted homeland. Her degree is from a Seven Sisters college and her talents are in codebreaking and advanced mathematics, but a woman can rise only so far in government work. Instead, Maggie becomes the secretary to the remarkable Churchill, the prime minister. But a murder has happened on her doorstep, the sirens herald ravaging Luftwaffe bombings every night, and enemies from within try to aid the enemy and bring England to its knees. The citizens of London will need resolve if they are to persevere and courage if they are to triumph, but most of all, they will need Hope.

Key Points/Quotes TRADE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL DARING DEBUT: Susan Elia MacNeal introduces a heroine perfect for the readership of Jacqueline Winspear and Rhys Bowen.

HISTORY MEETS MYSTERY: MacNeal blends a meticulously researched historical record and anecdotes about Churchill with a crackling cozy mystery.

MORE TO COME: Bantam snapped up two Maggie Hope mysteries. The next, Princess Elizabeth's Spy, sets a mystery in the early years of the current Queen of England.
