The Black Book Thrillers, Book 2 By James Patterson and David Ellis Read by Edoardo Ballerini
Advertisement
For Detective Billy Harney, getting shot in the head, stalked by a state’s attorney, and accused of murder by his fellow cops is a normal week on the job. The hero of the mega-bestseller The Black Book returns in his toughest case ever. “Brilliantly twisty…Many readers will agree with Patterson that this is the best book [he’s] written in twenty-ve years.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
To Harney, the newest member of Chicago PD’s elite strike force—Special Operations Section (SOS)—getting shot in the head, stalked by a state’s attorney, and accused of murder by his fellow cops is all part of breaking a case.
So when a drive-by shooting on the Chicago’s west side turns political, he leads the way to a quick solve. But Harney’s instincts—his father was once chief of detectives and his twin sister, Patti, is also on the force— run deep. As a population hungry for justice threatens to riot, he realizes that the three known victims are hardly the only ones.
When Harney starts asking questions about who’s to blame, the easy answers prove to be the wrong ones. On the ip side, the less he seems to know, the longer he can keep his clandestine investigation going … until Harney’s quest to expose the evil that’s rotting the city from the inside out takes him to the one place he vowed never to return: his own troubled past. 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.
DAVID ELLIS, a justice of the Illinois Appellate Court, is the author of nine novels, including Line of Vision, which won an Edgar Award, and The Hidden Man, nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. MARKETING

If it’s too good to be true, then it most likely is—especially in these three adrenaline-lled stories that make one explosive book! “Patterson never, and I mean never, disappoints.”
—USA Today, praise for the author The Palm Beach Murders (previously published as Let’s Play Make-Believe with James O. Born): Both survivors of the divorce wars, Christy and Martin don’t believe in love at rst sight and certainly not on a rst date. But from the instant they lock eyes, life becomes a sexy, romantic dream come true. That is, until they start playing a strangely intense game of make-believe—a game that’s about to go too far.
Stingrays (with Duane Swierczynski): When a teenager goes missing on a Caribbean beach, the local police are baffled. It’s up to the Stingrays, a world-class team that solves the unsolvable, to unearth the truth: a truth that no one will believe.
Nooners (with Tim Arnold): Everyone who knows Tim says he’s a good guy. But the popular advertising exec has a problem: a lot of the people who know him are getting murdered. And by the time he gures out why, Tim won’t feel so good anymore. JAMES PATTERSON is one of the most popular writers of all time, with more than 375 million copies of his books sold worldwide.

Who Is Maud Dixon?
A Novel By Alexandra Andrews Read by Thérèse Plummer
For readers of The Silent Patient—a taut, twisty, character-driven suspense novel about a famous novelist and a small-town striver locked in a struggle for fortune and fame. “Clever, cunning, and diabolical…A good old-fashioned thrill.”
—Ann Patchett, #1 New York Times bestselling author
—Maria Semple, New York Times bestselling author
Florence Darrow is a small-town striver who believes that she is destined to become a celebrated writer. When she stumbles into the opportunity to become the assistant to “Maud Dixon,” a celebrated-but-anonymous novelist (think: Elena Ferrante), she believes that the universe is nally providing her big chance. The arrangement feels idyllic; Helen can be prickly, but she is full of pointed wisdom on both writing and living. She even invites Florence along on a research trip to Morocco, where her new novel is set.
Florence has never been out of the country before; maybe, she imagines, she will nally have something exciting to write about herself. But when Florence wakes up in the hospital after a terrible car crash, and Helen is dead, she begins to imagine what it might be like to ‘upgrade’ into not only Helen’s life but also that of Helen’s bestselling pseudonym, Maud Dixon.
ALEXANDRA ANDREWS has worked as a journalist, editor, and copywriter in New York and Paris. Who Is Maud Dixon? is her rst novel. MARKETING

This Is the Fire
What I Say to My Friends About Racism By Don Lemon Read by Don Lemon
Don Lemon brings his vast audience and experience as a reporter and a Black man to today’s most urgent question: How can we end racism in America in our lifetimes?
—Booklist
—Kirkus Reviews
The host of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon is more popular than ever. As America’s only Black prime-time anchor, Lemon and his daily monologues on racism and antiracism, on the failures of the Trump administration and of so many of our leaders, and on America’s systemic aws speak for his millions of fans. Now, in an urgent, deeply personal, riveting plea, he shows us all how deep our problems lie, and what we can do to begin to x them.
Beginning with a letter to one of his Black nephews, he proceeds with reporting and reections on his slave ancestors, his upbringing in the shadows of segregation, and his adult confrontations with politicians, activists, and scholars. In doing so, Lemon offers a searing and poetic ultimatum to America. He visits the slave port where a direct ancestor was shackled and shipped to America. He recalls a slave uprising in Louisiana, just a few miles from his birthplace. And he takes us to the heart of the 2020 protests in New York City. As he writes to his young nephew: We must resist racism every single day. We must resist it with love.
DON LEMON hosts CNN Tonight with Don Lemon and serves as a correspondent across CNN’s US programming. Before joining the network in 2006, he was a correspondent for The Today Show and NBC Nightly News and an anchor on Weekend Today and MSNBC. He also volunteers extensively and teaches journalism at Brooklyn College. MARKETING

Elizabeth & Margaret
The Intimate World of the Windsor Sisters By Andrew Morton Read by Marisa Calin
Perfect for fans of The Crown, this captivating biography from a New York Times bestselling author follows Queen Elizabeth II and her sister Margaret as they navigate life in the royal spotlight. “Thoroughly researched and well written, the most comprehensive account of the complex relationship between the Queen and Princess Margaret to date.”
—Sarah Bradford, New York Times bestselling author
“Royal watchers will be enthralled.” —Publishers Weekly
They were the closest of sisters and the best of friends. But when, in a quixotic twist of fate, their uncle Edward Vlll decided to abdicate the throne, the dynamic between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered. Forever more Margaret would have to curtsey to the sister she called ‘Lillibet.’ And bow to her wishes.
Elizabeth would always look upon her younger sister’s antics with a kind of stoical amusement, but Margaret’s struggle to nd a place and position inside the royal system—and her fraught relationship with its expectations—was often a source of tension.
From the idyll of their cloistered early life, through their hidden wartime lives, into the divergent paths they took following their father’s death and Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne, this book explores their relationship over the years. Andrew Morton’s latest biography offers unique insight into these two drastically different sisters—one resigned to duty and responsibility, the other resistant to it—and the lasting impact they have had on the Crown, the royal family, and the ways it adapted to the changing mores of the twentieth century. ANDREW MORTON is the author of numerous biographies of celebrities as well as the British royal family. Four of his books have made the #1 New York Times bestsellers list.

Acts of Desperation
By Megan Nolan Read by Lauren Coe
Heralding the arrival of “a huge literary talent” (Karl Ove Knausgaard), Megan Nolan’s riveting debut is “a blistering anti-romance” (Catherine Lacey) about love addiction and what it does to us. “A love story like no other.”
—Karl Ove Knausgaard, New York Times bestselling author
“Remarkable…This mesmerizes from the rst page.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
In the rst scene of this provocative gut-punch of a novel, our unnamed narrator meets a magnetic writer named Ciaran and falls, against her better judgment, completely in his power. After a brief, all-consuming romance he abruptly rejects her, sending her into a tailspin of jealous obsession and longing. If he ever comes back to her, she resolves to hang onto him and his love at all costs, even if it destroys her…
Part breathless confession, part lucid critique, Acts of Desperation renders a consciousness split between rebellion and submission, between escaping degradation and eroticizing it, between loving and being lovable. With unsettling, electric precision, Nolan dissects one of life’s most elusive mysteries: Why do we want what we want, and how do we want it?
Combining the intellectual excitement of Rachel Cusk with the emotional rawness of Elena Ferrante, Acts of Desperation interrogates the nature of desire, power, and toxic relationships, challenging us to reckon honestly with our own insatiability. MEGAN NOLAN is an author whose writing includes essays, ction, and reviews published widely including in the New York Times, the White Review, the Sunday Times, the Village Voice, the London Guardian, and in the literary anthology Winter Papers. Regular columns of her cultural commentary appear in i newspaper, Huck Magazine and the New Statesman. Acts of Desperation is her rst novel. MARKETING

The Road Less Traveled
The Secret Battle to End the Great War, 1916-1917 By Philip Zelikow Read by Philip Zelikow “Outstanding revisionist history demonstrating what could have been a far more peaceful twentieth century.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Zelikow reveals one of the last great mysteries of the Great War: that it never should have lasted so long or cost so much. During a pivotal few months in the middle of the First World War, all sides—Germany, Britain, and America—faced no good military options and believed the war could be concluded. Zelikow describes how tantalizingly close some farsighted statesmen came to ending the war, saving millions of lives, and avoiding the total war that dimmed hopes for a better world.
PHILIP ZELIKOW is a professor of history and governance and a former career diplomat.
Not just a US story: Zelikow draws on international research and archives from Germany, the UK, and the US
Recommended by Library Journal "for all extensive history collections”
Zelikow worked on international policy in each of the ve administrations from Reagan through Obama.
