In this gripping and dynamic thriller, former FBI agent Ryan Tapia finds himself ensnared in the complex interplay of power, politics, environmental degradation, and resistance at a cobalt mine in Maine.

While building his career as a private investigator in the Maine countryside, Ryan Tapia takes the case of Dr. Ed Healey, a local physician suffering from an acute case of cobalt poisoning. A mine has recently opened in Pushaw county, extracting the valuable minerals needed for batteries in electronic devices and electric cars. But a deadly "Fan" of poison is seeping out . . .

But there are dark legacies in Pushaw that go back to the Salem witch trials and the community on nearby Witch Island, where the Thornfoot family is turning the tables and exploiting the vagaries of modern life for their own ends.

On the cusp of finding his personal happiness once more, Tapia is caught in the middle of this vortex of manipulation and money, desperation and deceit. Neighbors turn on one another and the people of Pushaw risk becoming as deadly to one another as the industrial poison simmering beneath the surface.

Sisters-in-law Peg and Rose are preparing for Christmas in Connecticut, with the annual dog-show fundraiser as a highlight. But when the jingle bell tolls for a party guest, a murder investigation breeds trouble in the latest Senior Sleuths Mystery from bestselling author Laurien Berenson.

Peg has always been the alpha dog when it comes to the Cherry Valley Kennel Club's annual Christmas fundraiser--so she isn't thrilled that Jonabell Goff has been chosen to run it this year. Especially since she's had run-ins with the abrasive and rather incompetent board member. Still, she tries to be a pleasant hostess when Jonabell attends her holiday open house. But the two have no chance to work out their differences after Jonabell drops dead . . .

Rose, a former nun with the patience of a saint, may have her squabbles with her grumpy sister-in-law, but she knows Peg is no murderer. Rose is busy trying to provide a festive Christmas for the residents at the women's shelter, but now that Peg is in a vulnerable position too--with the police suspecting her and locals giving her the cold shoulder--she jumps into the investigation. Had the kennel club treasurer been dipping her snout in the funds? What secrets were the victim's friends and family hiding? Or did her domineering personality just drive someone to finally unleash their rage?

It's a good thing Peg and Rose have become amateur sleuths, because this killer needs to be stopped before causing even more mayhem . . .

Christmas may be 63 days away, but as the Tinker's Cove Chamber of Commerce gears up for an elaborate Dickens-themed Christmas event, reporter Lucy Stone is already feeling a bit Grinchy--until a possible murder requires her sleuthing skills in the latest Lucy Stone Mystery from bestselling author Leslie Meier.

With all four kids out of the house, Lucy Stone's suddenly empty nest has put a damper on her usual zest for Christmas. She's got plenty of article ideas to keep her busy though, including reports of vicious social media posts targeting several town residents. Plus, there's the self-proclaimed "reputation changer" who promises he can clean up any negative press. It all seems a bit too convenient to Lucy, who decides an investigation is in order.

On top of all that, after agreeing to play Mrs. Cratchit in "A Dickens of a Christmas," Lucy also decides to plan a pre-Thanksgiving family weekend. Despite her juggling, it's not a success--the kids and their partners come but the mood is tense, and Lucy is relieved to see them off. Then comes shocking news: bank manager Bert Cosgrove, one of the victims of the slanderous media posts, has been found dead. The police are calling it a suicide.

No one, including Lucy, believes sweet, mild Bert would take his own life. While holiday preparations reach a feverish pitch, she's determined to find his killer. And as she burrows into a surprising history of motives, longstanding secrets and family connections begin to stink like rotten plum pudding. Now, as Lucy gets closer to the truth, she finds herself in a life-threatening situation that would definitely spoil Christmas--permanently.

From an acclaimed music critic and author, an in-depth analysis of the rise and fall of rock n' roll through the lens of one of the best albums of the 21st century--The Strokes' Is This It.

In 2001, The Strokes broke into the indie alt-rock scene with their debut album Is This It, a work that was supposed to "save" rock music from the evils of nü-metal and teen pop.

It did not.

Despite the album's countless accolades and acclaim from critics and fans alike, it failed to break into the mainstream like Nevermind did a decade before, and the band never reached as wide an audience as they'd hoped. But then why is it that no other rock band from the 21st century has captured the mystique of The Strokes? And how did a band defined by their repeated failure gain such a transcendent and enduring allure?

In Is This It: The Never Ending Rise And Fall Of The Strokes (And Rock 'n' Roll), music critic and author Steven Hyden provides keen insight into The Strokes' tumultuous longevity by turning a socio-cultural and critical lens on their entire career, as well as the careers of their contemporaries: The Killers (more successful but less cool), Kings Of Leon (the southern Strokes), The White Stripes (their friendly rival), The National (the tortoise to The Strokes's hare), and more. Hyden uses The Strokes' classic album Is This It as a vehicle for examining rock's radically changing role in pop culture over the last twenty-five years, and explores how while rock music may rise and fall, it--much like The Strokes--will never die.

A vibrant, colorful, and authoritative exploration of the world's first and most illustrious metropolis.

'Babylon' is a name that has a double life: it denotes the great ancient Mesopotamian city with a long and complex history, and it is also a fictive allusion with a wide variety of connotations, from the Hebrew bible's Tower of Babel, through the New Testament's 'Whore of Babylon' to the iconic song 'The Rivers of Babylon' in the 1970s.

The first royal dynasty of Babylon was founded by an Amorite interloper named Sumu-la-El a thousand years after the fall of the great Sumerian city states of Ur and Uruk, creating a new superpower in the Near East. Clinging close to the mighty River Euphrates, the city quickly grew in size and, thanks to its military prowess, soon expanded its territories, sweeping down to the Persian Gulf and advancing north into Syria.

The kingdom of Babylonia came in to being and, governed from mighty Babylon, setting the agenda for what civilization meant. This fascinating book explores Babylon's reputation as a city with a dual legacy by exploring its rich ancient past and its astonishing mythic legacy.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Care of the Soul comes a revelatory approach to healing and renewal.

Among the pages of Henry David Thoreau's journals and his legendary Walden, Thomas Moore, beloved bestselling author, psychotherapist, and public thinker, has found transformative ideas and approaches that promise to help us live better. As Moore writes, "We need to make the journey to our own 'Walden Pond' and find a cure for our cultural lostness."

Like Moore's own million-copy-bestselling Care of the Soul, The Cure at Walden Pond will be widely heralded among readers for its beautiful prose, accessible voice, and profound insights into the human condition.

Thoreau was disillusioned in his day by the same kind of frantic consumerism, round-the-clock work, and narrow imagination that trouble us today. Moore will help readers slow down, be more present and mindful in their relationships with their loved ones, and appreciate the beautiful world we share. For Moore, as for Thoreau, there is immense spiritual power all around us.

New Hampshire's Mount Monadnock is a "natural temple" for all New Englanders, a place of reverence and renewal, and Moore encourages us to find our own places of rejuvenation. There is neglected spirituality--and humanity--in the everyday objects that sustain us too. Moore explores his own memories of an old farmhouse, a grinding stone, and an out-of-tune piano that bring him back to his childhood and his family history.

The journey to Walden Pond is an essential American pilgrimage, and The Cure at Walden Pond embodies Thoreau's essence, guiding us through Thoreau's precepts so we can find more harmony in our communities and in ourselves. Immersing ourselves in the music of the natural world The Cure at Walden Pond is a resonate read that will move and inspire any one in search of a new way of being.
