- MAKING HISTORY by Richard CohenComing from Simon & Schuster, April 2022 “What a brilliant achievement! Like all Richard Cohen’s writing, The History Makers opens a dialogue with the reader—grave and witty, suave yet pointed, erudite yet engaging and full of energy. It has huge scope but never forfeits the telling detail. It is scholarly, lively, quotable, up-to-date, and fun.” – Hilary Mantel, author of the bestselling Thomas Cromwell trilogy
- THE GOTTI WARS by Judge John GleesonComing from Scribner, May 2022 “Spellbinding...tells us in electrifying detail how the good guys finally won, how justice triumphed over evil, and how Gleeson himself was transformed by his long war.” —Nelson DeMille, New York Times bestselling author of The Gold Coast and Wild Fire
- HOME/LAND by Rebecca MeadPublished by Knopf in April 2022 “Unfailingly insightful, precise, and well written . . . Following the unexpected results of the 2016 presidential election, Mead moved with her husband and adolescent son from Brooklyn back to London, where she was born. Since she hadn’t lived in England for more than 30 years, the experience was a curious mix of homecoming and alienation, the distinct strands of which Mead disentangles with nuance and writerly sensitivity . . . She traces her family history from its humble origins . . . through a series of different London abodes, elegantly weaving in the larger socio-economic and urban-planning contexts of the storied city as she moves through each generation.”—Kirkus Reviews

Her new book on America's punitive child welfare system is a bold and critically important reimagining of how to better protect children. Her thesis on how the legacy of slavery and carceral systems have impacted Black families is rooted in decades of rigorous examination, research, and reflection. This is a compelling, thoughtful, and urgent work.” —Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy

Tim Weiner has unique insights about this struggle, achieved through thirty-five years of reporting and writing.” ―The Honorable William Perry, former Secretary of Defense
- THE RIVER by Peter HellerPublished by Alfred A. Knopf in March 2019 “…Heller has such a solid grasp of nature (both human and the outdoors) that the storytelling feels fresh and affecting. In bringing his characters to the brink of death (and past it), Heller speaks soberly to the random perils of everyday living. An exhilarating tale delivered with the pace of a thriller and the wisdom of a grizzled nature guide.” — Kirkus (STARRED REVIEW)

Gus returns to her great-grandmother’s dilapidated house and ancient dog to discover the progenitor has died, the dog needs a walk, and a very cold case needs solving. What elevates Tallo’s galloping story is the freshness of the writing, and the deep explorations of character. An imaginative thriller --as much about family, loss, greed, and a young woman’s attempt to find a place in the world, as it is about solving a long buried mystery.” — Peter Heller, New York Times bestselling author of THE DOG STARS and national bestselling author of THE PAINTER, CELINE, & THE RIVER
