COMING OCTOBER 4, 2022 RIVER WOMAN, RIVER DEMON
A Novel by Jennifer Givhan
When Eva’s husband is arrested for the murder of a friend, she must confront her murky past and embrace her magick to find out what really happened that night on the river. Eva Santos Moon is a burgeoning Chicana artist who practices the ancient, spiritual ways of brujería and curanderisma, but she’s at one of her lowest points—suffering from disorienting blackouts, creative stagnation, and a feeling of disconnect from her magickal roots. When her husband is taken into custody for the shocking murder of their friend, Eva doesn’t know whom to trust—least of all, herself. She soon falls under suspicion as a potential suspect, and her past rises to the surface, dredging up the truth about an eerily similar death from her childhood. Struggling with fragmented memories and self-doubt, an increasingly terrified Eva fears that she might have been involved in both murders. But why doesn’t she remember? Only the dead women know for sure, and they’re coming for her with a haunting vengeance. “A rocket-fueled, indigenous culture–inspired Mad Max— what a ride!…Fierce, wrenching, and written with a poet’s eye for transformation and grace.”
—Brando Skyhorse, author of The Madonnas of Echo Park and Take This Man, on Trinity Sight

THE FOURTH BOOK IN THE JOSEPH BRIDGEMAN SERIES THE QUANTUM CHAIN
Secrets of the past hold the key to the future.
Joseph Bridgeman is now a fully fledged member of the Continuum, a group of time travelers that heal the past to protect the future. When an antique focus object is stolen, he jumps at the chance to retrieve it. But what should have been a simple auction turns into a dangerous new mission deep in the past. Alone and unprepared, Joe must not only complete the mission, but also investigate a secretive organization known as Extempero. Who are they? And why are they deliberately squandering focus objects? Somehow, all of this connects back to saving Amy, his own salvation in London, and his experiences in Paris. With help from an old ally, Joe triggers a rare and unique type of mission and is flung into the past yet again. Caught up in a shocking natural disaster, he is faced with a terrible choice, a decision that will have farreaching consequences for the Continuum, and a delicate future that hangs in the balance.

BEASTS OF THE EARTH
BY JAMES WADE
James Wade, whose first two novels were praised as “rhapsodic” and “haunting,” delivers his most powerful work to date—a chilling parable about the impossible demands of hate and love, trauma and goodness, vividly set in the landscapes of Texas and Louisiana.
Beasts of the Earth tells the story of Harlen LeBlanc, a dependable if quiet employee of the Carter Hills High School’s grounds department, whose carefully maintained routine is overthrown by an act of violence. As the town searches for answers, LeBlanc strikes out on his own to exonerate a friend, while drawing the eyes of the law to himself and fending off unwelcome voices that call for a sterner form of justice. Twenty years earlier, young Michael Fischer dreads the return of his father from prison. He spends his days stealing from trap lines in the Louisiana bayou to feed his fanatically religious mother and his cherished younger sister, Doreen. When his father eventually returns, an evil arrives in Michael’s life that sends him running from everything he has ever known. He is rescued by a dying poet and his lover, who extract from him a promise: to be a good man, whatever that may require. Beasts of the Earth deftly intertwines these stories, exploring themes of time, fate, and free will, to produce a revelatory conclusion that is both beautiful and heartbreaking.

Fiction / War & Millitary (FIC032000 Unabridged • Available in Print, Large Print, E-Book, and Audio
In the dirty war of covert operations, they were the government’s most deadly secret weapon—the CIA trained them for one thing and one thing only—to kill swiftly, silently, and mercilessly. Then it turned them loose on the battlefields of Asia, sending them out on missions so ugly that not even the army could be told. But now the war was over. Beak, Rosie, Cowboy, Harry, and Runt were in limbo until their old CIA control sent them back into the hell of Vietnam in search of a man who should be dead. Could five shell-shocked vets become a combat-honed killing machine again? And, if they could, how long would it be before the CIA acted to stop them, to shut them down—for keeps.
Mike McCray is a pseudonym for authors John Preston and Michael McDowell, who teamed up to write the wartime adventure series the Black Berets.
