The Eighth Life (for Brilka)

Paper Cut

“The best crime fiction I've read in twenty years.” — Stephen King#1 internationally bestselling author Don Winslow—America’s King of Crime Fiction—is back and he’s better than ever in this intense, deeply felt, gripping collection of six all-new, never-before-published short novels.&nbsp;In six all-new short novels written with the trademark literary style, trenchant wit, and incisive characterization that have made Don Winslow “America’s greatest living crime writer” (Providence Journal), this repeat New York Times bestselling author serves up a collection of tales sure to delight Winslow’s most devoted fans and first-time readers.The multi-million-dollar casino heist is impossible—it can’t be done.&nbsp;&nbsp;That’s what makes it irresistible to a legendary robber facing the rest of his life in prison for his “Final Score.”&nbsp;An ambitious, hard-working college-bound teenager has a side job delivering illegal booze to “The Sunday List” until a crooked cop, a seductive customer, and a fake guru threaten to end his dreams. Two wise guys tell each other a “True Story”&nbsp;over breakfast at a diner.&nbsp;It’s all bullshit and laughs until someone else has to pick up the check. An otherwise honest patrolman has to make an excruciating choice between his loyalty to the job and his love for a ne’er-do-well cousin in&nbsp;“The North Wing.”&nbsp;The entitled, substance-addicted movie star that surfer/PI Boone Daniels and his crew are hired to babysit in “The Lunch Break”&nbsp;is a&nbsp;problem. She also&nbsp;has&nbsp;a problem—someone wants her dead.&nbsp;Finally, the one terrible, momentary mistake that a devoted family man makes sends him to prison and on a “Collision”&nbsp;course between the man he wants to be and the killer he’s forced to become to survive.With a foreword written by award-winning crime author Reed Farrel Coleman, The Final Score is&nbsp;a propulsive, perceptive, and deeply immersive collection of crime writing — the ultimate testament to Don Winslow's prowess as a living legend of the genre.

Six Short Novels

The Final Score

“Dazzles with indie charm. . . . By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Nobody’s Empire is a romantic world of possibility and youthful yearning.”—Minnesota Star Tribune“Murdoch proves he’s as good a novelist as he is a musician."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)One of the great lyricists of our time, the lead singer and songwriter for the iconic Glasgow-based band Belle and Sebastian, pens a sensitive and intimate account—his debut novel based on his own youthful experiences—of dark days leading to light and a coming of age through music.It’s the early 1990s in Glasgow, Scotland, and Stephen has emerged from a lengthy hospital stay. Diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, a little-understood disease which has robbed him of any prospects of work, friends, or independent living, he moves slowly toward new goals and meets others like him, including Richard, a friend from school, and Carrie, a young woman bedridden for five years. Feeling isolated and alone, they form their own support group, and try to get by with as little money and pain as possible. Since he’s been ill, Stephen never feels warm, inspiring Carrie to affectionately call him “The World’s Coldest Boy.” As the world seems to care less for them, the trio start to care less about fitting in with the world.Stephen soon discovers he has a talent for writing songs. He awakens to the possibility of a spiritual life that transcends the everyday, and feels a calling for a place that might as well be on the other end of the universe let alone the world. Buoyed by tentative hope, he and Richard leave Glasgow in search of a cure in the mythic warmth and sun of California. As they float between hostels, sofas, and park benches, they discover the trip is life-changing in ways neither expected, and Stephen embraces a new-world reinvention that will change his life forever.Melodic and captivating, filled with graceful notes, melancholic chords, and witty, thoughtful riffs on life's infinite possibilities and curiosities, Nobody’s Empire is a warm and wonderful coming-of-age novel, imbued with Stuart Murdoch's magical lyricism.

Nobody's Empire

"The Californians is an absolute pleasure from end to end, a thrilling, century-spanning, wholly American tale of art and money, family and land, treasure and time....A brilliant read for fans of Anthony Doerr, Dana Spiotta, and Don DeLillo.” -- Matt Bell, author of AppleseedFor fans of&nbsp;Trust&nbsp;and&nbsp;North Woods,&nbsp;a&nbsp;daring novel that spans 100 years of American history, from the early days of cinema to the rise of digital community art, about parents and children, the drive to create even in times of crisis, and the inheritance of grand western dreams.It’s 2024, and Tobey Harlan—college dropout, temporary waiter, recently dumped—steals&nbsp;from the wall of his father’s house&nbsp;three paintings by the venerated and controversial artist Di Stiegl.&nbsp;Tobey’s just lost everything he owns to a Northern California wildfire, and if he can sell the paintings (albeit in a shady way to a notorious tech bro) he can start life anew in a place no one will ever find him. It's a risky move, but his father barely seems to like them--as long as Tobey can remember the artworks lived in the shadows of a hallway or partially obscured by furniture. Still, Di Stiegl has always been a touchy subject in his household, and he doesn't quite know why.&nbsp;A hundred years before, Klaus Aaronsohn—German-Jewish immigrant, resident of the Lower East Side—inveigles his way into a film studio in Astoria, Queens. In love with silent cinema, Klaus will restyle himself Klaus von Stiegl, a mysterious aristocratic German film director. In true Hollywood fashion, he will court fame, fortune, romance, and betrayal, and end his career directing Brackett: a radical, notorious 60s-era detective show.Weaving between them is the story of Diane “Di” Stiegl: Klaus’s granddaughter and the woman whose art seems to haunt Tobey's father, who claws out a career as an artist in gritty 1980s NYC. As America yields the presidency to a Hollywood cowboy, as Diane’s grifter father and free-spirited mother circle in and out of her life, Diane will reflect America’s most urgent and hypocritical years back to itself, uneasily finding critical adoration as well as great fame and wealth.A dazzling novel&nbsp;for readers of&nbsp;Beautiful Ruins&nbsp;by Jess Walter and&nbsp;The Candy House&nbsp;by Jennifer Egan,&nbsp;The&nbsp;Californians&nbsp;is an ambitious and sweeping journey across a century.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nuanced and textured, gloriously funny, a critical portrait of the collective American consciousness that has brought us to today, it showcases Brian Castleberry as an inventive, stylish storyteller and a sharp observer of the human condition.
