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

Crime 101 [Movie Tie-in]

“Big-hearted and inspired, George Falls Through Time gifts us the timeless reminder that love makes the best sword to slay our outsized problems.&nbsp;On top of that, it's great, page-turning fun.” —Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Guncle and The CelebrantsA brilliant, genre-exploding love story about a man who, in a moment of extreme stress, time travels to the year 1300 . . . where his modern problems are replaced by medieval brutalities—blending&nbsp;the powerful lyricism of Madeline Miller with the sharp wit of Andrew Sean Greer, and perfect for fans of&nbsp;The Ministry of Time.Newly laid off George’s internet bill is in his ex-boyfriend’s name. He’s got a spider-infested apartment, and two of the six dogs he’s walking in London have just escaped. It’s pure undiluted stress that sends him into a spiral—all the way to the year 1300.When he comes to, George recognizes the same rolling hills of Greenwich Park. But the luxuries and phone service of modernity&nbsp;are nowhere. In their place are locals with a bizarre, slanted speech in awe of his foreign clothes, who swiftly toss him in a dungeon. Despite the barbarity of a medieval&nbsp;world, a servant named Simon helps George acclimate to a simpler, easier existence. But rumors of a dragon haunting the countryside and a summons from the King threaten to send his&nbsp;life&nbsp;up in flames—this time, literally.A confessional queer romance, a swords-and-sorcery soap opera, a literary, paradox-embracing reimagining of the legend of St. George and the Dragon,&nbsp;George Falls Through Time&nbsp;is a profound meditation on the nature of desire that pits modern sensibilities against a raw and alien backdrop. It asks whether we can love each other without destroying one another, even when life feels like a pile of bills.&nbsp;

“Deliciously vicious and unsettlingly hilarious, Cruelty Free is a nasty, thrilling Hollywood take-down for the ages.” —JENNIFER THORNE, author of DiavolaA disgraced movie star returns to Hollywood 10 years after the kidnapping of her young daughter intent on seeking revenge, for fans of Monika Kim and Rachel Yoder.NOTHING FEELS BETTER THAN REVENGE.Ten years ago, Lila Devlin was an A-list actress with a movie star husband and a beautiful baby girl, Josie. When Josie was kidnapped out of her home and never seen again, Lila’s previously pristine public image twisted into that of an Unfit Mother. Driven mad by the hungry press, incompetent cops, and relentless true crime–obsessed “fans,” she disappeared into anonymity.&nbsp;Now, Lila Devlin returns to LA with a grand vision for a radical new skincare brand to reinvent herself and honor Josie’s legacy. She's prepared to move into the next chapter of her life with forgiveness in her heart, when an encounter with a parasitic blogger ends with him dead. Lila suddenly discovers forgiveness isn’t nearly as satisfying as a body hitting the floor.With the help of her devoted publicist Sylvie, Lila begins a relentless, blood-soaked hunt through LA. Giving her skincare the edge it needs, they introduce a secret ingredient—revenge-sourced—from the bodies piling up. But as the company’s success skyrockets and Lila begins unraveling the truth behind her daughter’s kidnapping, her murderous side hustle threatens the life she’s painstakingly rebuilt.Both a striking portrayal of grief and womanhood, and a twisting, cynical satire on celebrity and toxic beauty standards,&nbsp;Cruelty Free&nbsp;is an ambitious debut from a talented star on the rise.&nbsp;“Wildly twisted, razor-sharp, and ultimately heartbreaking, Cruelty Free is as much a novel about the fullness of grief as it is about the hollowness of vengeance." —LING LING HUANG, author of Natural Beauty

How to Sleep at Night

From bestselling author Louise Fein comes a new historical novel about an encrypted manuscript that unleashes a chain of consequences across 400 years, set in a world of banned books, fear of new ideas, and the dangers of censorship, perfect for fans of&nbsp;The Briar Club&nbsp;and&nbsp;Weyward."What power lay there in words on a page.&nbsp;And with that thought, Charlotte knew she would not rest until she had seen what was in the manuscript that Lysbette so desperately wanted to preserve in print.”1552, Paris: Against a backdrop of turmoil, suspicion, and paranoia, the printing press is quickly spreading new ideas across Europe, threatening the power of church and state and unleashing a wave of book burning and heretic hunting. When frightened ex-nun Lysbette Angiers arrives one day at Charlotte Guillard’s famous printing shop with her manuscript, neither woman knows just how far the powerful elite will go to prevent the spread of Lysbette’s audacious ideas.1952, New York: Milly Bennett, lonely and unmoored, is a seemingly ordinary housewife with a secretive past. Balancing the day-to-day boredom of keeping house and struggling to find her way with the mothers at her children’s school, she finds her life taking an unexpected turn as conspiracies spread amidst the paranoid clamors of McCarthy’s America. When a relic from her past presents her with a 400-year-old manuscript to decipher, she is reluctantly pulled into a vortex of danger that threatens to shatter her world.From the risky backstreets of sixteenth-century Paris to the unpredictable suburbs of mid-twentieth century New York, the stakes couldn’t be higher when, 400 years apart, Milly, Lysbette, and Charlotte each face a reality where the spread of ideas are feared and every effort is made to suppress them.Dramatic and affecting, and inspired by the real-life encrypted Voynich manuscript,&nbsp;Book of Forbidden Words&nbsp;is both an engrossing story about a timeless struggle that echoes through the ages and a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dare to let their words be heard.

From&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author Kate Quinn comes a gorgeously written fantastical adventure which poses the question: Have you ever wished you could live inside a book?&nbsp;Welcome to the Astral Library, where books are not just objects, but doors to new worlds, new lives, and new futures.Alexandria “Alix” Watson has learned one lesson from her barren childhood in the foster-care system: books will never let you down, unlike people. Working three dead-end jobs to make ends meet and knowing college is a pipe dream, Alix takes nightly refuge in the high-vaulted reading room at the Boston Public Library, escaping into her favorite fantasy novels and dreaming of far-off lands. Until the day she stumbles through a hidden door and meets the Librarian: the ageless, acerbic guardian of a hidden library where the desperate and the lost escape to new lives...inside their favorite books.The Librarian takes a dazzled Alix under her wing, but before she can escape into the pages of her new life, a shadowy enemy emerges to threaten everyone the Astral Library has ever helped protect. Aided by a dashing costume-shop owner and bookmarking their way from volume to volume, Alix and the Librarian flee through the Regency drawing rooms of Jane Austen to the back alleys of&nbsp;Sherlock Holmes&nbsp;and the champagne-soaked parties of&nbsp;The Great Gatsby&nbsp;as their enemy draws closer. But who does their enemy really wish to destroy—the Library, the Librarian, or Alix herself?

Cry Havoc is a fever worth catching, a gloomy and gorgeous pleasure." — Maggie Thrash, author of Rainbow BlackA humorous dark academia novel, set in a failing English girls’ school in the 1980s, in which a teen running from her past becomes immersed in a dangerous and intriguing mystery involving a shady new teacher and a strange contagion afflicting her classmates.Fleeing Scotland after a humiliating family scandal, sixteen-year-old Ida Campbell secures a scholarship at a failing girls’ boarding school situated on the remote south English coast. Her new Headmistress—an eccentric woman obsessed with the Cold War and nuclear annihilation—seems surprised that the young woman accepted her offer, but Ida feels that St. Anne’s could be a refuge—until she discovers that her roommate, the infamous Louise Adler, is a potential arsonist and hardened outcast.Ida barely has time to make a good impression (or figure out what Louise’s deal is) when Matthew Langfield, a new teacher, arrives. While the girls are all desperately intrigued to find out everything about him – after all, who takes a job at&nbsp;St. Anne’s? - the school’s geography teacher, Eleanor Alston, has an uneasy feeling that he is not who he says he is. And things only get worse when a mysterious sickness starts to spread throughout the school, causing strange limb jerks and seizures among the pupils.What is happening to the girls of St Anne's? Are some of the girls faking these fits? Could someone be poisoning them? Is Matthew Langfield a smooth-tongued liar? Will Louise set the school on fire, or push a girl out of a window. . . again? And is Ida’s past going to catch up with her, despite doing everything to keep it secret?Expertly melding the cloying atmosphere and eerie mystery of The Secret History, Ninth House, and The Fever with the sharp wit and delightful absurdity of Derry Girls, Cry Havoc is a dazzling literary introduction to a whip smart, clever, and elegant writer.
