We are thrilled to present Blackstone Publishing’s Spring 2022 catalog of new titles! Headlining the season is The Ravaged, the debut novel from Norman Reedus, under his new Big Bald Head imprint, in partnership with Blackstone. The Ravaged is a fiercely compelling and original work of fiction, interweaving the stories of three characters on personal quests with eerily parallel outcomes. In the mystery and thriller genre, we will publish a variety of gripping new titles. New York Times bestselling author Brian Freeman’s The Ursulina is the follow-up to Freeman’s Edgar Award finalist The Deep, Deep Snow. We will launch a wonderful debut mystery by Rick Bleiweiss, Pignon Scorbion & the Barbershop Detectives, which was voted by booksellers as the BuzzBook of the 2021 PNBA Fall Trade Show. The highly anticipated third installment of Nick Jones’s time-traveling Joseph Bridgeman series will arrive with The Observer Effect. Jeneva Rose’s One of Us Is Dead, described as Big Little Lies meets Desperate Housewives, will be a must-read for suspense lovers and readers who devoured her previous novel, The Perfect Marriage. This spring, we will release two outstanding memoirs: Ain’t That a Mother, Adiba Nelson’s fearless and funny personal account of motherhood, disability, and inclusion, and Into the Inferno, the timely memoir by acclaimed photographer Stuart Palley, which brings to life his eye-opening experiences on the front lines of California’s wildfires. We will launch the debut novel from Daniel H. Turtel, Greetings from Asbury Park, a work of literary fiction that depicts flawed characters as they break through to adulthood, truth, and to a moral relationship with the world. Mary Helen Stefaniak’s The World of Pondside will captivate readers with its endearingly quirky cast of nursing-home gamers, racing to solve what caused the death of their fellow resident who created World of Pondside, their beloved custom video game which has suddenly gone offline. Fans of historical fiction will savor Hotel Portofino, an enthralling new novel set during the 1920s on the Italian Riviera, with a forthcoming TV series set to air on PBS in 2022. This season, we will also reissue nine books by Leon Uris, including his 1976 classic novel Trinity. Uris (1924– 2003) is beloved for his action-packed, highly researched, and page-turning historical epics. The Blackstone team looks forward to speaking with you about these and many other exciting new titles releasing this year.

Perfect for fans of Downton Abbey and The Crown. A heady historical drama about a British family who opens an upper-class hotel on the magical Italian Riviera during the Roaring Twenties Hotel Portofino has been open for only a few weeks, but already the problems are mounting for its owner Bella Ainsworth. Her high-class guests are demanding and hard to please. And she’s being targeted by a scheming and corrupt local politician, who threatens to drag her into the red-hot cauldron of Mussolini’s Italy. To make matters worse, her marriage is in trouble, and her children are still struggling to recover from the repercussions of the Great War. All eyes are on the arrival of a potential love match for her son Lucian, but events don’t go to plan, which will have far reaching consequences for the whole family. Set in the breathtakingly beautiful Italian Riviera, Hotel Portofino is a story of personal awakening at a time of global upheaval and of the liberating influence of Italy’s enchanting culture, climate, and cuisine on British “innocents abroad.”

Pignon Scorbion & THE BARBERSHOP DETECTIVES
Available 2/8/22 The year is 1910, and in the small and seemingly sleepy English municipality of Haxford, there’s a new chief police inspector. At first, the dapper and unflappable Pignon Scorbion strikes something of an odd figure among the locals, but it isn’t long before Haxford finds itself very much in need of a detective. Luckily, Scorbion and the local barber are old acquaintances, and the barbershop employs a cast of memorable characters who are nothing less than enthralled by the enigmatic new chief police inspector. Investigating a trio of crimes whose origins span three continents and half a century, Pignon Scorbion and his “tonsorial sleuths” interview a parade of interested parties. But just as it seems nothing can derail Scorbion’s cool head and almost unerring nose for deduction, in walks Thelma Smith— dazzling, whip-smart, and newly single. Has Pignon Scorbion finally met his match?

LEON URIS NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Leon Uris (1924–2003) was an American novelist. Having run away from home at age seventeen, a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor, to join the Marine Corps, he based several of his novels on his own experiences in the marines. His novels include Battle Cry and O’Hara’s Choice, as well as the bestsellers Redemption, Trinity, Exodus, QB VII, and Topaz, among others.
“A master at weaving historical fact and fiction.” —USA Today From the internationally acclaimed author who enthralled the world with Exodus, Battle Cry, and other classics of twentieth-century fiction comes a sweeping and powerful epic adventure. Leon Uris captures the “terrible beauty” of Ireland during its long and bloody struggle for freedom. It is the electrifying story of an idealistic young Catholic rebel and the valiant and beautiful Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join his cause. It is a tale of love and danger, of triumph at an unthinkable cost—a magnificent portrait of a people divided by class, faith, and prejudice. It is an unforgettable saga of the fires that devastated a majestic land—and the unquenchable flames that burn in the human heart.

Based on the diaries of Leon Uris’s uncle, this action-packed thriller will keep listeners in suspense until the very end. A 1959 film adaptation starred Robert Mitchum and Stanley Baker.

Originally published in 1953, Leon Uris’s Battle Cry is the raw and exciting story of men at war from a legendary American author. This is the story of enlisted men—Marines at the beginning of World War II. They are a rough-and-ready tangle of guys from America’s cities and farms and reservations. Led by a tough veteran sergeant, these soldiers band together to emerge as part of one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. With staggering realizm and detail we follow them into intense battles—Guadalcanal and Tarawa—and through exceptional moments of camaraderie and bravery. Battle Cry does not extol the glories of war but proves itself to be one of the greatest war stories of all time.

Israel is a land of contrasts—of modern hotels and ancient olive trees; of young girls in slacks and elders with traditional beards. It is a country of harsh desert, lush farmland, sandy beaches, and sun-dappled seas. Israel is the common homeland of the Jew, the Christian, and the Muslim. It is a nation with a living history, a memory of violence and pain, a hope for the future, and a promise in its people. In Exodus Revisited, Leon Uris returns to the scene of his famous bestselling novel, Exodus, which has sold over five million copleis. With power, compassion, and love, he writes a revealing commentary to accompany the sensitive and haunting photographs of Dimitrios Harissiadis.

IRELAND
A Terrible Beauty
The story of Ireland, the Irish, and the Troubles, told by Leon Uris and Jill Uris Jill and Leon Uris came to Ireland looking for answers. Why has Ireland been bled by one internal war after another? How can one country contain such greatness and grief? What they discovered was more than the Ireland of peat fires and pubs, of fabled Irish wit and the haunts of the banshees. What they found was a people—trapped in mutual mistrusts, but with a a courage and kindness that brought them through centuries of bitter occupation and civil dissension, in a land as complexly beautiful as the people themselves. This then is the Urises’ “love song” to the Irish and to Ireland.

EMPIRE OF IRON The Vesta Shadows Series, Book 3 By Debra May Macleod
For the heroes of Rome, and its enemies, it is a time of reckoning. There is a saying in Rome: the Tarpeian Rock is close to the capitol. Meaning that even at the height of power, one is never far from a fall. As the Vestalis Maxima, Pomponia has guided her order through the collapse of Rome’s Republic and the rise of the Empire. Her wit and piety have elevated the Vestals to a position of unprecedented prestige—and her friendship with Caesar Augustus has afforded her personally a life of political influence and privilege. She has been adored and untouchable. Yet that illusion of safety has been shattered by a ruthless enemy who continues to menace her from the shadows, his vengeful nature escalating to terrifying new heights that threaten not just Pomponia, but all those she cares for—including the emperor himself. Worse, it seems that the gods are also turning against her when the Vestal order suffers an unparalleled crisis that Pomponia must answer for. Struggling to maintain her position, Pomponia looks to her slaves and a renegade charioteer for support as her complex relationship with her protégé, Quintina, brings painful secrets to light. Faced with threats from all directions, Pomponia must be willing to sacrifice everything—even her own morality—to protect her status, the Vestal order, and the lives of those around her.
In Empire of Iron, the unflinching conclusion to the Vesta Shadows trilogy, Pomponia realizes that, like Rome itself, she must become even more ruthless than her enemies if she is to survive.
DEBRA MAY MACLEOD is an author of historical
fiction focusing on the ancient Roman religion of Vesta and the Vestal Virgins. She is privileged to have been invited to participate in research excursions in the Forum Romanum, the Forum of Caesar and Imperial Fora, including places inaccessible to the general public, and informs her writing and work with this invaluable perspective. Debra has a bachelor of arts (English, classics) as well as a law degree. She lives in Canada with her husband and son, visiting Italy often for research (and sun).

THE BLACK BADGE SERIES BY RHE T T C. B R U N O A N D J A I ME C A STLE COLD AS HELL BOOK 1
In the West, there are worse things to fear than bandits and outlaws. Demons. Monsters. Witches. James Crowley’s sacred duty as a Black Badge is to hunt them down and send them packing, banish them from the mortal realm for good. He didn’t choose this life. No. He didn’t choose life at all. Shot dead in a gunfight many years ago, now he’s stuck in purgatory, serving the whims of the White Throne to avoid falling to hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his penance and fade away. This time, the White Throne has sent him to investigate a strange bank robbery in Lonely Hill. An outlaw with the ability to conjure ice has frozen and shattered open the bank vault and is now on a spree; robbing the region for all it’s worth. In his quest to track down the ice-wielder and suss out which demon is behind granting a mortal such power, Crowley finds himself faceto-face with hellish beasts, shapeshifters, and worse ... temptation. But the truth behind the attacks is worse than he ever imagined ... The Witcher meets The Dresden Files in this weird Western series by the Audible number-one bestselling duo behind Dead Acre.
ALSO INCLUDES THE BONUS STORY DEAD ACRE, THE PREQUEL TO COLD AS HELL James Crowley met his mortal end in a hail of gunfire. Now, he finds himself in purgatory, serving the White Throne to avoid falling to hell. Not quite undead, though not alive either, the best he can hope for is to work off his servitude and fade away. His not-so-sacred duty as a Hand of God? Use his new abilities to hunt down demonic beings that have infiltrated the mortal realm. This time, the White Throne has sent him to the middle of nowhere: a Western town called Dead Acre with a saloon, a moldy church, and little else worth talking about. There isn’t even a sheriff. But the local cobbler has gone missing at the same time as a number of graves were desecrated. Crowley must follow the clues, all while dealing with a cutthroat gang that treats Dead Acre like they own it, an extraordinary woman who makes it hard to focus, and locals not keen on strangers. Life isn’t simple for a Hand of God.

“Mystical…The author builds tension around the uncertain outcome of Evelyn’s rash decision to take the children and Nan’s increasingly dangerous interactions with Clare’s ghost.” —Publishers Weekly
Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize On a cold November night, Evelyn Van Pelt steals her roommate’s two underfed and neglected little girls from their beds and drives to the northwestern hometown she fled fourteen years earlier—Cormorant Lake. There, hidden in the mountains and woods, dense with fog and the cold of winter, Evelyn grapples with the guilt of what she’s done, and as she attempts to reconcile her wild independence with the responsibilities of parenthood, she reconnects with the two women who raised her—her foster mother, Nan, and her biological mother, Jubilee. But by coming home, she has set in motion a series of events that will revive the decades-old tragedy that haunts Cormorant Lake—and lead her to confront the high cost of protecting her secret. At once fantastical and deeply rooted in the natural world, Faith Merino’s deeply affecting and spirited debut novel explores the shape of family, the enduring bonds of friendship, and the imperfections of motherhood—messy and beautiful, instinctive and learned, temporal but permanently life-altering.
