For many long years, Atlee Pine was tormented by uncertainty after her twin sister, Mercy, was abducted at the age of six and never seen again. Now, just as Atlee is pressured to end her investigation into Mercy’s disappearance, she nally gets her most promising breakthrough yet: the identity of her sister’s kidnapper, Ito Vincenzo. With time running out, Atlee and her assistant Carol Blum race to Vincenzo’s last known location in Trenton, New Jersey — and unknowingly stumble straight into John Puller’s case, blowing his arrest during a drug ring investigation involving a military installation. Stunningly, Pine and Puller’s joint investigation uncovers a connection between Vincenzo’s family and a breathtaking scheme that strikes at the very heart of global democracy.

Kay Willingham led a life as glamorous as it was public—she was a gorgeous Georgetown socialite, philanthropist, and the ex-wife of the vice-president. So why was she parked in a Bentley convertible idling behind a DC private school, in the middle of the night, with the man who was the head of that school? Who shot them both, point blank, and why? The shocking double homicide is blazed across the internet, TV, newspapers—and across Alex Cross’ mind. Kay had been his patient once. And maybe more. Alex Cross and FBI Special Agent Ned Mahoney travel to Alabama to investigate Kay’s early years. There they nd a world of trouble, corruption, and secrets, all of them closed to outsiders like Cross and Mahoney. Kay had many enemies, but all of them seemed to need her alive. The harder the investigators push, the more resistance they nd when they leave behind the polite law offices and doctors’ quarters of the state capital. Alex Cross will need to use all his skills as a doctor, a detective, and a family man to prevent that resistance from turning lethal … again. JAMES PATTERSON is one of the most popular writers of all time, with more than 375 million copies of his books sold worldwide.

“Whipsmart candor and disarming energy… Anyone who made it out of adolescence alive will appreciate Bloom’s insights.”

Reality star Erin Easton’s “Wedding of the Century” may have a cable crew documenting every extravagant bridal detail, but when “Airhead Easton” disappears from the reception, it’s no diva turn. Her dressing room is empty but for a blood-spattered wedding gown and signs of a struggle. Detective Kylie MacDonald of NYPD Red, already on-scene as a plusone, loops in her partner, Detective Zach Jordan to activate Level One mobilization for this PR nightmare. But when Erin’s “proof of life” video makes it to air-rather than to evidence-every A-lister on the guest list becomes a target of suspicion … or just a target.

The Last Days of John Lennon By James Patterson, with Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge Read by Matthew Wolf and K.C. Clyde John Lennon was one of the world’s most in uential people. Mark David Chapman was one of the most invisible.
“Patterson has mastered the art of writing page-turning bestsellers.”
—Chicago Sun-Times, praise for the author
By the end of 1980, the Beatles had been broken up for a decade — a decade John Lennon had spent in search of his true identity: singer, songwriter, activist, burn out. But now, he declared, “it’s the perfect time to be coming back.” Except that Lennon was a marked man. As early as the Beatles’ controversial 1966 American tour, during which the band had feared for their safety, Lennon had complained, “You might as well put a target on me.” The Nixon administration did just that, putting Lennon under FBI surveillance. If only the agents hadn’t been so intently focused on the star himself, they might have detected Mark David Chapman’s powerful, ever-growing obsession with the man he’d grown up idolizing. Chapman, himself a tragic nowhere man, ultimately achieved the notoriety he craved by making the target on Lennon very real — and single-handedly wounding the spirit of a generation. JAMES PATTERSON is one of the most popular writers of all time, with more than 375 million copies of his books sold worldwide. He holds the record for most New York Times bestsellers and is the author of the two most popular detective series of the past decade, the Alex Cross novels and the Women’s Murder Club.

“A master class in understanding how systems of domination working relentlessly in the service of white male patriarchy not only harm all women and people of color but ultimately hinder white men themselves from reaching greatness.”
—Michael Eric Dyson, New York Times bestselling author
“A nuanced analysis of White male America—and how white supremacy has affected politics, football, and more. Oluo deftly combines history and sociological study with personal narrative, and the result is both uncomfortable and illuminating.”
—Washington Post
What happens to a country that tells generation after generation of white men that they deserve power? What happens when success is de ned by status over women and people of color, instead of by actual accomplishments? Through the last 150 years of American history-from the post-Reconstruction South and the mythic stories of cowboys in the West, to the present-day controversy over NFL protests and the backlash against the rise of women in politics-Ijeoma Oluo exposes the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of color, and white men themselves. Mediocre investigates the real costs of this phenomenon in order to imagine a new white male identity, one free from racism and sexism. As provocative as it is essential, this book will upend everything you thought you knew about American identity and offers a bold new vision of American greatness. IJEOMA OLUO is a Seattle-based writer, speaker, and internet yeller. In 2018 she won the Feminist Humanist Award. She was named one of the most in uential people in Seattle by Seattle Magazine.

“I dare you to read this hilarious and eye-opening book and not become obsessed with Amber Ruffin.”
—Mindy Kaling, actress and #1 New York Times bestselling author
Now a writer and performer on Late Night with Seth Meyers and host of The Amber Ruffin Show, Amber Ruffin lives in New York, where she is no one’s First Black Friend and everyone is, as she puts it, “stark raving normal.” But Amber’s sister Lacey? She’s still living in their home state of Nebraska, and trust us, you’ll never believe what happened to Lacey. From racist donut shops to strangers putting their whole hand in her hair, from being mistaken for a prostitute to being mistaken for Harriet Tubman, Lacey is a lightning rod for hilariously ridiculous yet all-too-real anecdotes. She’s the perfect mix of polite, beautiful, petite, and Black that apparently makes people think “I can say whatever I want to this woman.” And now, Amber and Lacey share these entertainingly horrifying stories through their laugh-out-loud sisterly banter. Painfully relatable or shockingly eye-opening (depending on how often you have personally been followed by security at department stores), this book tackles modern-day racism with the perfect balance of levity and gravity. AMBER RUFFIN is a writer and cast member on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers. She also amazingly became the rst black woman to write for a late-night talk show in American history when she joined the staff in 2014, and was a writer/sometimes performer on HBO’s Black Lady Sketch Show. LACEY LAMAR is Amber Ruffin’s big sister. She has worked in the healthcare and human service eld for more than twenty- ve years, thirteen of those working with troubled youth in her community.
MARKETING Print run: 75,000 Ruffin is an incredibly talented writer who has won a Writers Guild of America award for her writing on Late Night with Seth Meyers In You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey and in her writing more broadly, Ruffin deftly tackles serious issues through a humorous lens The driving force of this audiobook is a dialogue between two very smart, funny sisters, and their playful, loving sibling dynamic adds a great deal of heart to their banter

“Ryan Serhant is the authority on all things selling. If you want to sell more than anyone else, read this now.”
—Gary Vaynerchuk, New York Times bestselling author
National bestselling author and Bravo real estate star Ryan Serhant shows us all how we can start projecting that Big Money Energy in our own lives and turn our nancial dreams into nancial realities. He shows how he landed his rst big client and went from “surviving to thriving”— from under $10k a year to $1m in just three years. Whether it’s school, a relationship, a rst job, or running your own business-everyone starts from the bottom and eventually climb to the top via hard work, savvy, and experience. With BME, Serhant shows how readers can climb that ladder better and faster, by changing how they look, how they talk, what they believe, and their attitude towards life and money. Among other things, Big Money Energy will give you the tools you need to: nail a rst impression, abolish “low-rent habits”, expand your network (and cut off the negative relationships holding you back), remove distractions, set (and beat!) reachable goals, structure work days around success and growth, excel during challenging periods, and branch out their sources of revue. At its core, Big Money Energy is an inspirational, prescriptive manual intended for anyone who is ambitious enough to dream big and committed to doing whatever it takes to get there. In other words, if you’re ready to earn a better income, stand out in job interviews, shine at social events, shoot straight to the top at work, or even crush rst dates with a cool BME—infused con dence-then, this is just the book for you. RYAN SERHANT is a costar on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing: New York and star of Sell It Like Serhant.

The Effort By Claire Holroyde For fans of Station Eleven and Good Morning, Midnight comes an electric, heart-pounding novel of love and sacri ce that follows people around the world as they unite to prevent a global catastrophe.
“The Effort artfully mirrors an allegorical warning on the state of our planet’s climate with a more imminent threat of complete and total annihilation of the human species…Heart-pounding and heart wrenching all at once, it’s ultimately, somehow, a story of immense hope. Just a stunning debut.”
—Jane Gilmartin, author of The Mirror Man
When dark comet UD3 was spotted near Jupiter’s orbit, its existence was largely ignored. But to individuals who knew better — scientists like Benjamin Schwartz, manager of NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies — the threat this eight-kilometer comet posed to the survival of the human race was unthinkable. The 150-million-year reign of the dinosaurs ended when an asteroid impact generated more than a billion times the energy of an atomic bomb. What would happen to Earth’s seven billion inhabitants if a similar event were allowed to occur? Ben and his indomitable girlfriend Amy Kowalski y to South America to assemble an international counteraction team, whose notable recruits include Love Mwangi, a UN interpreter and nomad scholar, and Zhen Liu, an extraordinary engineer from China’s national space agency. At the same time, on board a polar icebreaker life continues under the looming shadow of comet UD3. Jack Campbell, a photographer for National Geographic, works to capture the beauty of the Arctic before it is gone forever. Gustavo Wayãpi, a Nobel Laureate poet from Brazil, struggles to accept the recent murder of his beloved twin brother. And Maya Gutiérrez, an impassioned marine biologist is — quite unexpectedly — falling in love for the rst time. Together, these men and women must ght to survive in an unknown future with no rules and nothing to be taken for granted. They have two choices: neutralize the greatest threat the world has ever seen (preferably before mass hysteria hits or world leaders declare World War III) or come to terms with the annihilation of humanity itself. Their mission is codenamed The Effort. CLAIRE HOLROYDE is a writer and graphic designer living outside of Philadelphia. The Effort is her rst novel.

Change The Power in the Periphery to Make Big Things Happen By Damon Centola Most of what we know about how ideas spread comes from bestselling authors who give us a compelling picture of a world ideas go viral. But when it comes to transforming behaviors and beliefs, the dynamics of change are different: beliefs and behaviors are not transmitted from person to person in the simple way that a virus is. The real story of social change is more complex. Drawing on deep-yet-accessible research and fascinating examples from business, sports, health, lifestyle, and politics, Change presents a groundbreaking and paradigmshifting new science for understanding what drives change, and how we can change the world around us.
The New Climate War The Fight to Take Back Our Planet By Michael E. Mann Recycle. Fly less. Eat less meat. These are ways we’ve been told to slow climate change. But it’s a marketing campaign, one that has succeeded in placing the responsibility for xing climate change squarely on individuals, not the fossil fuel companies doing the bulk of the polluting. Meanwhile, they’ve blocked efforts to regulate carbon emissions. The result has been disastrous for our planet. In The New Climate War, Mann outlines a plan for forcing corporations to make real change.

—Dave Asprey, author of The Bulletproof Diet
For decades, the diet wars have pitted advocates for the low-carb, highfat paleo diet against advocates of the exclusively plant-based vegan diet and dozens of other diets leaving most of us bewildered and confused. For those of us on the sidelines, trying to gure out which approach is best has been nearly impossible—both extreme diets have unique bene ts and drawbacks. But how can it be, we’ve asked desperately, that our only options are bacon and butter three times a day or endless kale salads? How do we eat to reverse disease, optimal health, longevity and performance. How do we eat to reverse climate change? There must be a better way! Fortunately, there is. With The Pegan Diet, a food is medicine approach, Mark Hyman explains how to take the best aspects of the paleo diet (good fats, limited re ned carbs, limited sugar) and combine them with the vegan diet (lots and lots of fresh, healthy veggies) to create a delicious diet that is not only good for your brain and your body, but also good for the planet. Featuring 30 recipes, and plenty of infographics illustrating the concepts, The Pegan Diet offers a balanced and easy-to-follow approach to eating that will help you get, and stay, t, healthy, focused, and happy —for life. MARK HYMAN is the director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, president of clinical affairs on the board of the Institute for Functional Medicine, and founder and director of the UltraWellness Center. He is the author of numerous books, including the New York Times bestseller Eat Fat, Get Thin.

Reuben Miller, a chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago and later a sociologist studying mass incarceration, spent years alongside prisoners to understand the lifelong burden that a single arrest can entail. His work revealed that the idea one can serve their debt and return to society is a myth. Recently released individuals face jobs that are off-limits, apartments that cannot be occupied and votes that cannot be cast. Halfway Home shows that the American justice system was structured to keep a particular class of people impoverished, unstable, and disenfranchised long after they’ve paid their debt to society.
