Newport: A Novel
by Jill Morrow“Newport has it all: intrigue, scandal, and seances to summon a spirit that will not rest . . . will keep you turning pages long into the night.” —Deanna Raybourn, New York Times–bestselling authorFollowing in the steps of Beatriz Williams and Amor Towles, this richly atmospheric, spellbinding novel transports readers to the dazzling, glamorous world of Newport during the Roaring Twenties and to a mansion filled with secrets as a debonair lawyer must separate truth from deception.Spring 1921. The Great War is over, Prohibition is in full swing, the Depression still years away, and Newport, Rhode Island’s glittering “summer cottages” are inhabited by the gloriously rich families who built them.Attorney Adrian De la Noye is no stranger to Newport, having sheltered there during his misspent youth. Though he’d prefer to forget the place, he returns to revise the will of a well-heeled client. Bennett Chapman’s offspring have the usual concerns about their father’s much-younger fiancée. But when they learn of the old widower’s firm belief that his first late wife, who “communicates” via seance, has chosen the beautiful Catherine Walsh for him, they’re shocked. And for Adrian, encountering Catherine in the last place he saw her decades ago proves to be a far greater surprise.Still, De la Noye is here to handle a will, and he fully intends to do so—just as soon as he unearths every last secret, otherworldly or not, about the Chapmans, Catherine Walsh . . . and his own very fraught history.A skillful alchemy of social satire, dark humor, and finely drawn characters, Newport vividly brings to life the glitzy era of the 1920s.“A ripping good read.” —Beatriz Williams, New York Times–bestselling author

by Steve VernonSie glauben, Sie wissen alles über Superhelden? Diese Typen mit den Umhängen und den leicht gestärkten Gummistrumpfhosen. Die von hohen Gebäuden springen und immer das Mädchen kriegen. Sie wissen gar nichts. Begleiten Sie Steve Vernon, Nova Scotias am schwersten schuftenden Horrorautoren, in die Welt von Captain Nichts. Es ist eine Welt ohne Hoffnung, eine Welt, die so kalt und dunkel ist wie das Herz eines Vermieters, drei Tage nachdem die Miete fällig gewesen wäre. Es ist eine Welt, die Batman schweißtreibende Alpträume verpassen könnte.
