A Better Life

“Entertaining. . . . Briscoe folds some perceptive class critiques into her intoxicating blend of romance and suspense. This offers plenty of gothic pleasures.”—Publishers WeeklyNew York Times bestselling author Connie Briscoe updates Daphne Du Maurier’s classic Rebecca in this chilling tale of domestic suspense centered on a spirited woman named Angel who marries a Black billionaire, only to discover that he remains haunted by his first wife who took her own life—or did she?A mansion haunted by the ghost of a cool, charismatic first wife. A second bride from a small Southern town who may be in over her head. A brooding billionaire who grows icier the more his new wife questions him about the past.In Connie Briscoe’s propulsive and entertaining novel, the elements of one of the most famous Gothic novels of all time is reimagined in surprising, yet still suspenseful, ways.Angel is a private chef for the Harrison’s, one of the most powerful Black families on Martha’s Vineyard. Impossibly supercilious Jillian Harrison often spends the entire summer on the island, while her husband Irvin and their twenty-nine-year-old daughter Norma commute from Washington, DC, on weekends. They always join Jillian for the month of August, when the family throws a lavish garden party on the expansive lawn that is attended by nearly one hundred guests. This year’s guests include Everette Bruce, an influential Black billionaire, still in mourning for his first wife, Chloe, who committed suicide.To the imperious Jillian’s surprise, Bruce ignores her and instead becomes enchanted with Angel. Eager to get away from the controlling Mrs. Harrison, Angel accepts Everett’s invitation to become the private chef at Riverwild, his massive mansion along the Potomac River. Her meals and company provide comfort Everett, and soon he and Angel begin a whirlwind romance that culminates in marriage.Though Angel is confident and strong, over time, she begins to feel the enigmatic Chloe's ghost. The house’s staff, the head housekeeper Ida—a menacingly rigid thorn in Angel’s side—and even Everett, cannot seem to let the dead woman go, nor explain why the wealthy, stunning woman would kill herself. The more questions Angel asks, the more melancholic Everett becomes, revealing a far less charming side of himself. Just how well does Angel know Everett? Did she marry in haste?The answers lie somewhere in Riverwild . . .

I Love You Don't Die

“Fierce, fun, wild, and enraging.”&nbsp;—Chris Whitaker,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;All the Colors of the Dark“A real joy to read . . .&nbsp;Killer Potential&nbsp;earns Deitch a spot on the ‘new novelists to watch’ list.” —&nbsp;Associated PressAn electric debut novel following two young women after they flee a bloody murder scene in the Hollywood Hills and quickly become a runaway media sensationDestined for greatness, wanted for murder. . .A scholarship kid with straight As and big dreams, Evie Gordon always thought she was special, that she’d be someone. But after graduating from an elite university, she finds herself drowning in debt and working as an SAT tutor for the super-rich of Los Angeles.Everything changes one Sunday, when she arrives for her weekly lesson at the Victors’ Beverly Hills estate and, in lieu of a bored teenager, finds the bloody remains of the parents strewn through their beautiful back garden, and a woman crying for help within a closet. As Evie works to free her, the two are spotted—and within moments, they go from bystanders to suspects to fugitives.Suddenly at the heart of a manhunt and accompanied by a mysterious woman who refuses to speak, Evie knows the only way to clear her name is to find the real killer. But first she’ll have to break down the barriers of her companion, who is quickly becoming the most important person in Evie’s upside-down life. Their breathless spree takes them across the U.S. as developments in the case shock the nation and the press runs wild with Evie’s story: a gifted kid turned killer. She's now on the cover of every magazine and newspaper—anointed the new Charles Manson, a bloodthirsty ninety-nine percenter looking to start a class war. Evie is finally&nbsp;someone.By turns cuttingly hilarious and deeply insightful,&nbsp;Killer Potential&nbsp;is a strikingly original debut. A literary novel with the page-turning intensity of a thriller that asks timely questions about our belief in the romance of social mobility, and how the stories we’re sold about our potential can shape the course of our lives.

She falls in love with a pirate, but when he returns to the sea, Jacquotte decides to make her own way. In Haiti she becomes Jacques, a dockworker, earning the respect of those around her while hiding her gender.Jacquotte discovers that secret identities are fairly common in the chaotic world of seafaring, which is full of outsiders and misfits. She forms a deep bond with Bahati, an African-born woman who has escaped slavery and also disguises herself as a man to navigate the world. They join forces with Dirkje De Wulf, a fearless adventurer who also lives as a man at sea. As Jacques, Jacquotte falls in love with Lizzôa d'Erville, a beautiful courtesan who deals in secrets and sex.

When her fellow pirates decide to increase their profits by entering the slave trade, Jacquotte turns away from piracy and the pursuit of riches.

Fire Sword and Sea

Don Winslow’s acclaimed fiction collection, featuring “Crime 101,” soon to be a major motion picture starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Monica Barbaro.No matter how you come into this world, you come out broken . . .&nbsp;Hailed as “one of America’s greatest storytellers” (Stephen King), #1 international bestseller Don Winslow presents&nbsp;six intense short novels with characters—some familiar, some new—&nbsp;connected by the themes of crime, vengeance, guilt, and redemption. It includes:<ul><li>Crime 101: A string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway has gone unsolved for years, mostly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls “Crime 101.”&nbsp;Police attribute the thefts to the Colombian cartels.&nbsp;But Detective Lou Lubesnick’s gut says it’s the work of just one man.&nbsp;Now the lone-wolf jewel thief is looking for that fabled final last score.&nbsp;And Lou breaks all the rules of Crime 101…</li><li>Broken: Police dispatcher Eva McNabb takes the call on a police officer’s brutal murder by a vicious drug gang.&nbsp;It’s her own kid, Danny.&nbsp;Then Eva makes her own call.&nbsp;Summoning her elder son, Jimmy, also a cop, Eva commands: Avenge your brother.&nbsp;I want you to kill them all.</li><li>The Last Ride: To former soldier and cowboy-turned-Border Patrol agent Cal Strickland, the illegals who try to jump his stretch of the Texas-Mexico border are a nameless, faceless group who need to be sent back to their side of the line. That is, until he sees the little girl in the cage. And Cal knows that the time has come to make a stand and help her escape.</li></ul>With his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, action, and the highest level of literary craftsmanship, Winslow delivers a collection of tales that have become classics of crime fiction.“While Winslow is in widely fluent in many different prose techniques&nbsp;— from the twisty punchline felonies of Elmore Leonard and Robert B. Parker to the&nbsp;rebop riffs of James Ellroy to mega-works of dark literature a la Cormac McCarthy and James Lee Burke&nbsp;— he's not 'copying' anyone. He's writing his OWN masterpieces and just happens to do so in the fashion appropriate to the work. . . . Every piece in&nbsp;Broken&nbsp;is a winner and compellingly different.”&nbsp;—&nbsp;The Day&nbsp;(CT)“Broken&nbsp;will make you laugh and cry, but in the end will explain why&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;thinks Winslow is simply ‘the greatest.’ . . . He crafts every sentence until it beats to a rhythm of its own. . . .&nbsp;Broken&nbsp;is devastating and brilliant.” —&nbsp;Sydney Morning Herald

But Won't I Miss Me

THE INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLERRecommended by&nbsp;New York Times Book Review&nbsp;•&nbsp;People&nbsp;•&nbsp;NPR •&nbsp;Rolling Stone&nbsp;•&nbsp;Los Angeles Times&nbsp;•&nbsp;Reader's Digest&nbsp;•&nbsp;and more!“This one has it all.” — George R.R. Martin • “As delicious as it is disorienting.” — Zakiya Dalila Harris • “Suspenseful, timely, and heartfelt.” —&nbsp;People&nbsp;• “Mind-bending.” —&nbsp;New York Times Book ReviewIn this exhilarating tale by New York Times&nbsp;bestselling and award-winning author Nnedi Okorafor, a disabled Nigerian American woman pens a wildly successful Sci-Fi novel, but as her fame rises, she loses control of the narrative—a surprisingly cutting, yet heartfelt drama about art and love, identity and connection, and, ultimately, what makes us human. This is a story unlike anything you’ve read before.The future of storytelling is here. Disabled, disinclined to marry, and more interested in writing than a lucrative career in medicine or law, Zelu has always felt like the outcast of her large Nigerian family. Then her life is upended when, in the middle of her sister’s lavish Caribbean wedding, she’s unceremoniously fired from her university job and, to add insult to injury, her novel is rejected by yet another publisher. With her career and dreams crushed in one fell swoop, she decides to write something just for herself. What comes out is nothing like the quiet, literary novels that have so far peppered her unremarkable career. It’s a far-future epic where androids and AI wage war in the grown-over ruins of human civilization. She calls it&nbsp;Rusted Robots.When Zelu finds the courage to share her strange novel, she does not realize she is about to embark on a life-altering journey—one that will catapult her into literary stardom, but also perhaps obliterate everything her book was meant to be. From Chicago to Lagos to the far reaches of space, Zelu’s novel will change the future not only for humanity, but for the robots who come next.A book-within-a-book that blends the line between writing and being written, Death of the Author&nbsp;is a masterpiece of metafiction that manages to combine the razor-sharp commentary of Yellowface with the heartfelt humanity of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Surprisingly funny, deeply poignant, and endlessly discussable, this is at once the tale of a woman on the margins risking everything to be heard and a testament to the power of storytelling to shape the world as we know it.&nbsp;“An ambitious, inventive&nbsp;tribute to the power of storytelling itself.”&nbsp;—&nbsp;Nikki Erlick,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;The Measure“A deeply felt dazzle. A blaze. It is true deep to the bones.” — Luis Alberto Urrea, Pulitzer Prize finalist and bestselling author of&nbsp;The House of Broken Angels"There’s more vivid imagination in a page of Nnedi Okorafor’s work than in whole volumes." — Ursula K. Le Guin
