Caos Alla Villa
by William JarvisUn nuovo uomo. Altri cupcake. Una seconda possibilità? Si può avere davvero un’altra possibilità? O è soltanto frutto della propria immaginazione? Gli ultimi mesi per Emmy sono stati davvero difficili. Prima la morte di una sua vecchia amica, Annabeth Meyer, che ha visto morire davanti ai suoi occhi. Poi c’è stato un matrimonio al resort che ha portato alla morte di Edward, il marito di Ruby, che in realtà era la ex di Daniel. Poco dopo è morta anche Ruby ed Emmy stava peggio di prima. Lei e Daniel hanno rotto e da allora le cose non sono state più le stesse. Emmy era spaventata. Non sapeva più che fare della sua vita e non sapeva se ci sarebbe stata la possibilità di rimettere in sesto le loro attività. Era come se avesse toccato il fondo e non sapeva se sarebbe stata in grado di risalire. Tre mesi dopo, Emmy riceve un invito da parte di Frank Albert Holt, un uomo a lei sconosciuto. Si domanda perché sia stata invitata, ma alla fine decide di andare. In seguito si accorge che, in realtà, Frank è l’uomo che potrebbe cambiare la sua vita, in meglio o in peggio. Incontrando Frank Emmy fa un salto nel buio. Metterà in discussione sé stessa come non ha mai fatto prima. Riconsidererà i suoi sentimenti e si accerterà che le persone che fanno parte della sua vita meritano davvero di farne parte o se dovrà buttarsi e tentare di cambiare le cose come non ha mai fatto prima. Emmy dovrà anche fare i conti con i suoi incubi e capire cosa stanno cercando di dirle prima che sia troppo tardi. Unitevi ad Emmy nell’affrontare le sue battaglie e nel fare le sue scelte nel terzo libro de I Misteri di Sky Valley: Caos Alla Villa!

E logo, Ruby morreu, também—e Emmy se sentiu ainda pior do que ela já se sentia antes. E então ela e Daniel terminaram—e as coisas não tem sido mais as mesmas. Ela se sentiu assustada. Ela não sabia o que fazer com sua vida e ela não sabia se havia alguma chance para seus negócios voltarem ao topo. Ela sente como se ela tivesse alcançado o fundo do poço, mas ela não tem ideia se ela ainda pode se reerguer. Três meses depois, ela recebe um convite de Frank Albert Holt—um homem que ela nem sequer conhece. Ela se pergunta porque foi convidada para a festa mas decide ir, eventualmente. Então, ela percebe que Frank é, na verdade, o cara que poderia mudar a sua vida—para melhor ou pior. Conhecer Frank levaria Emmy em uma aventura ao desconhecido. Ela iria se questionar mais do que ela jamais o fez. Ela irá reconsiderar seus sentimentos, e confirmar se as pessoas em sua vida deveriam estar ali—ou se ela deveria apenas mergulhar e tentar mudar as coisas de um jeito que ela nunca o fez antes. Ela também terá que lidar com seus pesadelos—e entender o que eles estão tentando lhe dizer antes que seja tarde demais. Junte-se a Emmy, confrontando suas batalhas e fazendo suas próprias escolhas no Livro 3 da série The SkyValley Mysteries—Já disponível!
Capable of Honor
by Allen DruryIt is one of the most fundamental questions facing America today: How justifiably, or irresponsibly, do the volatile and unbiased American media—press, television and radio—attempt to interfere with, and control, the political process and the foreign policy of the nation? In a hotly fought Presidential primary, the news media fractures along ideological lines, supporting and distorting the candidates’ records, manipulating the news rather than covering it. Capable of Honor, the third novel in the grand, bestselling Advise and Consent saga, is a compelling blockbuster that shines a harsh and revealing spotlight on how the media shapes the news, guides public opinion, creates policy—and tries to shape history itself.

Cape Cod Noir (Akashic Noir #0)
by David L. UlinMalice and mayhem simmer beneath the surface of one of America's favorite vacation areas. "Youthful alienation and despair dominate the 13 stories in Akashic's noir volume devoted to Cape Cod. [It] will satisfy those with a hankering for a taste of the dark side." --Publishers Weekly "A book full of cries in the dark, heavy drinking in the thin gray light of winter, and other dark poses. In other words, the stories sneak in the back screen door of those summer cottages after Labor Day, after all the tourists have gone home and Cape Codders of the authors' imagination drop their masks and their guards. It's a fun read, a little like tracing the shoreline of a not-quite-familiar coast." --Boston Globe "David L. Ulin has put together a malicious collection of short stories that will stay with you long after you return home safe." --The Cult: The Official Chuck Palahniuk Website Includes brand-new stories by Paul Tremblay, Seth Greenland, Ben Greenman, Fred G. Leebron, David L. Ulin, Dana Cameron, Kaylie Jones, and others. Los Angeles Times book critic David L. Ulin has been vacationing in Cape Cod every summer since he was a boy. He knows the terrain inside and out; enough to identify the squalid underbelly of this allegedly idyllic location. His editing prowess is a perfect match for this fine volume. David L. Ulin is book critic of the Los Angeles Times. From 2005 to 2010, he was the paper's book editor. He is the author of The Myth of Solid Ground: Earthquakes, Prediction, and the Fault Line Between Reason and Faith, and is the editor of Another City: Writing from Los Angeles and Writing Los Angeles: A Literary Anthology, which won a 2002 California Book Award. He has written for the Atlantic Monthly, The Nation, The New York Times Book Review, and National Public Radio’s All Things Considered.
