The Greatest Game Ever Played Harry Vardon, Francis Ouimet, and the Birth of Modern Golf

by Mark Frost Read by Robertson Dean Francis Ouimet and Harry Vardon came from different worlds and different generations, but their passion for golf set them on parallel paths that would collide in the greatest match their sport had ever known. A young Massachusetts native, Francis was only three years removed from his youthful career as a lowly caddie. Harry was twice his age, the greatest British champion in history, and innovator of the modern grip and swing. When the two men finally came together in their legendary battle at the 1913 US Open, its heart-stopping climax gave rise to the sport of golf as we know it today.

White Dresses A Memoir of Love and Secrets, Mothers and Daughters

by Mary Pflum Peterson Read by Mary Pflum Peterson As a successful television journalist at Good Morning America, Mary Pflum is known as a polished and highly organized producer. It’s a persona at odds with her tortured childhood, where she watched her vulnerable mother, Anne, fill their house with teetering piles of assorted “treasures.” But one thing has always united mother and daughter: their love of white dresses. From the dress worn by Mary’s mother when she became a nun to graduation dresses and christening gowns, these dresses embodied hope and new beginnings. Through the white dresses, pivotal events in their lives were celebrated—even as Mary tried in vain to save Anne from herself.

“Peterson’s generous homage to her mother offers an empathetic look at a baffling, frustrating mental illness.

A candid, moving memoir about the many complexities of family.”

LATEST DROP-INS The Argonauts

by Maggie Nelson Read by Maggie Nelson Maggie Nelson’s The Argonauts is a genre-bending memoir, a work of “autotheory” offering fresh, fierce, and timely thinking about desire, identity, and the limitations and possibilities of love and language. At its center is a romance: the story of the author’s relationship with the artist Harry Dodge. This story, which includes Nelson’s account of falling in love with Dodge, who is fluidly gendered, as well as her journey to and through a pregnancy, is an intimate portrayal of the complexities and joys of (queer) family-making. Nelson’s insistence on radical individual freedom and the value of caretaking becomes the rallying cry of this thoughtful, uncompromising book.

Jonas Salk A Life

by Charlotte DeCroes Jacobs Reader to be announced In the first complete biography of Jonas Salk, Charlotte DeCroes Jacobs unravels Salk’s story to reveal an unconventional scientist and a misunderstood and vulnerable man.

Despite his incredible success in developing the polio vaccine, Salk was ostracized by his fellow scientists, who accused him of failing to give proper credit to other researchers and scorned his taste for media attention. Driven by an intense desire to aid mankind, Salk was initially oblivious and eventually resigned to the personal cost— as well as the costs suffered by his family and friends. And yet Salk remained, in the eyes of the public, an adored hero.

The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar

by Tom Holland Reader to be announced

Maviah is an outcast, but when she meets a man named Yeshua, he opens her eyes.

Because of his teachings, she has gathered her own traveling kingdom of outcasts deep in the desert. But when her growing power threatens the rulers around her, they set out to crush all she loves.

Dynasty continues where Rubicon ended: with the murder of Julius Caesar.

This is the period of the first and perhaps greatest Roman emperors—from the rise of Augustus to the death of Nero.

Holland’s expansive history features five wonderfully vivid emperors.

After barely besting three armed men and a powerful magician, Vocho and Kacha make off with an immense locked chest, and the contents will bring them much more than they’ve bargained for when they soon find themselves embroiled in a dangerous plot to return an angry king to power.

NOVEMBER NEW RELEASES The Guilty The Will Robie Series, Book 4

by David Baldacci Reader to come shortly When Will Robie receives word that his father—who he hasn’t spoken to in years—has been arrested for murder, Robie immediately heads home to investigate.

His hometown is a remote, economically depressed small town where everyone still remembers him as a high school sports star who left one night and was never seen again. Dan Robie is a local judge, and he’s suspected of murdering a man who appeared before him in court. Robie and his father have never seen eye-to-eye, and he pushes Robie almost to the point of leaving town. But when another murdered victim shows up, Robie realizes that there may be more to the story than just his father’s vigilante justice.

Crimson Shore The Pendergast Novels, Book 15

by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child Read by René Auberjonois Special Agent Pendergast takes on a private case in Exmouth, Massachusetts— a quaint village on the coast north of Salem—to investigate the theft of a valuable wine cellar. He travels to the seaside town with his ward, Constance Greene, where they quickly discover something far more sinister: a bricked-up niche in the wine cellar that holds the remains of a man, tortured and then entombed alive 150 years ago.

But why? The puzzle is compounded when they discover a murdered body—covered with mysterious symbols—in the salt marshes behind Exmouth … the place where, legend has it, the real witches of Salem took refuge after fleeing the 1692 witch hunts.

A DOG’S RANSOM

With deadpan accuracy, Patricia Highsmith delighted in creating true sociopaths in the guise of the everyday man or woman. In A Suspension of Mercy, Highsmith revels in eliciting the unsettling psychological forces that lurk beneath the surface of everyday contemporary life.

Highsmith turns our next-door neighbors into sadistic psychopaths, lying in wait among white picket fences. In A Dog’s Ransom, Highsmith blends savage humor with brilliant social satire in this dark tale of a highminded criminal who kidnaps wealthy couple’s beloved poodle.

No one is being thrown to the lions, but many followers of Christ face persecution because of their beliefs.

At the very least, most know how it feels to end up on the wrong side of a politically correct conversation.

Honeymoon

Translated from the French

Translated from the French

by Barbara Wright Reader to be announced

For ten years Guy Roland has lived without a past. His current life and name were given to him by his recently retired boss, Hutte, who welcomed him, a one-time client, into his detective agency. Guy makes full use of Hutte’s files—directories, yearbooks, and papers of all kinds going back half a century—but leads to his former life are few. Could he really be that person in a photograph, a young man remembered by some as a South American attaché? Or was he someone else, perhaps the disappeared scion of a prominent local family? He interviews strangers and is tantalized by halfclues until, at last, he grasps a thread that leads him through a maze of his own repressed experience.

Jean B. is submerged in a world where night and day, past and present have no demarcations. Having spent his entire adult life making documentary movies about lost explorers, Jean suddenly decides to abandon his wife and career and takes what seems to be a journey to nowhere. He spends his solitary days recounting or imagining the lives of Ingrid and Rigaud, a refugee couple he met more than twenty years ago. Little by little, their story takes on more reality than Jean’s existence, as his excavation of the past slowly becomes an all-encompassing obsession.

Suspended Sentences Translated from the French by Mark Polizzotti Read by Bronson Pinchot, Sean Runnette, and Arthur Morey Each novella in this volume represents a sterling example of the author’s originality and appeal, while Mark Polizzotti’s superb translations capture not only Modiano’s distinctive narrative voice but also the matchless grace and beauty of his prose.
