Eliza Waters is most famous for her book Tammyland, a “honky-tonk Eat, Pray, Love” that is all about Tammy Wynett. When Eliza dies in a drug store shooting, everyone thinks it is a tragically botched mugging. Jen, Eliza’s best friend from college, had no reason to suspect foul play until she becomes Eliza’s literary executor. The manuscript Eliza was working on most recently is about an old child abuse case. The more Jen reads, the more sinister things become. From beyond the grave, Eliza’s writing opens up a different world to Jen. Eliza’s death seems suspicious and Jen soon finds herself in danger as well.

The publisher describes it as THE BIG SLEEP meets ANIMAL FARM, and, frankly, we can’t do better than that.” —Starred Booklist review for AMBERVILLE Tim Davys leaves the best for the last in Yok, the fourth and final novel from the Mollisan Town quartet that is sure to live on as an iconic literary adventure. In this final installment a handsome fox attempts to woo his true love; a gecko attempts to break out from under his abusive brothers; a chimpanzee dreams to write a successful song; and a hare contemplates the meaning of life. In Mollisan Town, these four live in Yok, a seedy neighborhood where it seems no stuffed animal has the ability to breakout and live according to their own wants and needs. They are trapped by ignorance, poverty, mediocrity, and their own insecurities. But for Antonio Ortega Fox, Erik Gecko, Mike Chimpanze, and Vincent Hare, there is still a glimmer of hope, a chance that they can overcome their circumstances and have the freedom to achieve their separate dreams. As with his first three books— AMBERVILLE, LANCEHEIM, and TOURQUAI, Davys vividly brings to life Mollisan Town, the alternate world populated by stuffed animals, and answers the question: Is it possible to be free or does destiny control all?

A nurse stops by the offices of Homicide South in Manhattan to report the confession of Gus Henderson, her elderly Alzheimer’s patient, a former junkie and petty criminal, who claims he murdered and buried a man in a park off Avenue B seventeen years ago. All signs point toward the man’s partner in crime as the victim—he’s been off the grid for exactly seventeen years. After threats from the presumed victim’s mother, the city reluctantly agrees to excavate the community garden where Henderson claimed to have buried the body. But it’s not her son they find buried beneath the willow tree. What they find is the skeleton of a ten-year-old boy, neatly dressed and buried ceremoniously with a comic book, a cd, some pot, and booze. O’Hara dives headlong into the city’s dark underbelly and is about to uncover a hidden, dangerous world of lost boys and girls. Peter de Jonge is the author of SHADOWS STILL REMAIN (2009), a Washington Post Book of the Year, and co-author, with James Patterson, of three books: Miracle on the 17th Green (Little, Brown, 1996), and the #1 New York Times bestsellers Beach Road (Little, Brown, 2003) and The Beach House (Little, Brown, 2006). He worked as a reporter at the Associated Press, and has been a contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine since 1986. His writing has appeared in Best American Sports Writing, National Geographic, New York magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Details, and Manhattan, Inc.
