THE LAW OF INNOCENCE
Michael Connelly
Lincoln Lawyer Mickey Haller is back in the heart-stopping new thriller from #1
New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly.
Defense attorney Mickey Haller is pulled over by police, who find the body of a client in the trunk of his Lincoln. Haller
is charged with murder and can't make the exorbitant $5 million bail slapped on him by a vindictive judge.
Mickey elects to defend himself and must strategize and build his defense from his jail cell in the Twin Towers
Correctional Center in downtown Los Angeles, all the while looking over his shoulder--as an officer of the court he is an
instant target.
Mickey knows he's been framed. Now, with the help of his trusted team, he has to figure out who has plotted to destroy
his life and why. Then he has to go before a judge and jury and prove his innocence.
In his highest stakes case yet, Mickey Haller fights for his life and shows why he is "a worthy colleague of Atticus
Fiction/Crime Finch...in the front of the pack in the legal thriller game" (Los Angeles Times).

Cease to Appear (Wall Street Journal).
Julian Ladd and Rye Adler cross paths as photography students in the exclusive Brodsky Workshop. When Rye needs

THE THOUSAND CRIMES OF MING TSU
Tom Lin
For fans of Quentin Tarantino, the Coen Brothers, and Cormac McCarthy, this
astounding debut reimagines the classic Western through the eyes of a
Chinese American assassin on a quest to rescue his kidnapped wife, leaving a
trail of destruction in his wake as he exacts his revenge on the railroad
tycoons who perpetrated her abduction.
Orphaned as a boy, Ming Tsu was adopted by the notorious leader of a California crime syndicate and
trained as his enforcer. But when he falls in love with Ada, the daughter of a powerful railroad magnate,
he seizes the opportunity to escape to a different life, and the pair elopes. Their happiness is short-lived,
however, and in a violent raid, the tycoon’s henchmen kidnap Ada and, with the help of a corrupt judge,
conscript Ming into service for the Union Pacific Railroad.

Pomona College, he lives in California and is a PhD candidate at the University of California, Davis.
“In Tom Lin’s book, the atmosphere of Cormac McCarthy’s west, or that of the Coen Brothers’ True Grit,
gives way to the phantasmagorical shades of Ray Bradbury, Charles Finney’s The Circus of Dr. Liao, and
Katherine Dunn’s Geek Love. A story full of archetypal echoes with a velocity and perspective all its own,
this is a fierce new version of the Westward Dream.”

HOMELAND ELEGIES
Ayad Akhtar
“Passionate, disturbing, unputdownable.” — Salman Rushdie
A deeply personal work about identity and belonging in a nation coming apart at the seams, Homeland
Elegies blends fact and fiction to tell an epic story of longing and dispossession in the world that 9/11 made. Part family
drama, part social essay, part picaresque novel, at its heart it is the story of a father, a son, and the country they both
call home.
Ayad Akhtar forges a new narrative voice to capture a nation in which debt has ruined countless lives and the gods of
finance rule, where immigrants live in fear, and where the unhealed wounds of 9/11 continue to wreak havoc around the
world. Akhtar attempts to make sense of it all through the lens of a story about one family, from a heartland town in
America to palatial suites in Davos to guerrilla lookouts in the mountains of Afghanistan. All the while sparing no one-
least of all himself - in order to make better sense of it all.

FESTIVAL DAYS
Jo Ann Beard
From the acclaimed author of The Boys of My Youth and In Zanesville, comes a searing
and thoughtful new collection of nine non-fiction stories.
Since the publication of her groundbreaking collection, The Boys of My Youth, Jo Ann Beard has been heralded as a master of the
autobiographical essay, a form that has recently gained popularity with the works of Leslie Jamison, Eula Biss, Esmé Weijun
Wang, and Roxane Gay, among others.
Now, Beard returns with nine pieces in which she investigates love and betrayal, grief and survival in the precise, searingly
personal language for which she is beloved.
In these genre-defying works, Beard captures both the quietly luminous moments of daily existence and those of life-and-death
decision: a man jumps from a burning building to save his own life; a woman fights off a home invader with only a shovel; and in
the title, novella-length story, the narrator examines issues of love and death, friendship and betrayal.

From award-winning author Richard Lange, comes a hard-boiled thriller about
two immortal brothers’ journey across the American West in search of new
victims and a better life.
Jesse and his brother, Edgar, are Rovers—undying nocturnal beings who perish in sunlight and must drink human blood
to survive. As the American Bicentennial looms in the summer of 1976, the brothers roam the wilds of the Southwest,
crashing in cheap motels and feeding off drifters and prostitutes, never staying long enough to attract attention. Stuck in
their grim routine, life stretches out before them as an infinite strip of highway.
But everything changes when Jesse meets a young human woman named Johona, who reminds him of a former lover.
Caught up in their startling connection, the two rescue an innocent victim from a violent Rover motorcycle crew—a
simple act that plunges their lives and budding romance into chaos. Hellbent on revenge, the motorcycle gang chases

Ezekiel "Easy" Porterhouse Rawlins is an unlicensed private investigator turned hard-boiled detective always willing to
do what it takes to get things done in the racially charged, dark underbelly of Los Angeles.
But when Easy is approached by a shell-shocked Vietnam War veteran- a young white man who claims to have gotten

Though he sees nothing but trouble in the brooding ex-soldier's eyes, Easy, a vet himself, feels a kinship form between

BACKABLE
How To Convince Anyone To Take A Chance On You
Suneel Gupta with Carlye Adler
A groundbreaking book that boldly claims the key to success in business is not
talent, connections, or ideas, but the ability to persuade people to take a chance
on potential, for readers of Grit by Angela Duckworth and Originals by Adam
Grant.
No one ever makes it alone. But how come some people can get investors to believe in their ideas while others-
sometimes with even better ideas-fall flat? What is it about certain people that make us want to take a bet on them?
What is it that makes them backable? As it turns out, it's not what you think. “Backability” is not driven by having the
best experience, the finest pedigree, or the most innovative ideas. In fact, many highly successful people are backed long
before they are qualified. We tend to view these people as lucky. But the decision to back them is neither an accident nor

Murder, Fraud, Sabotage, Piracy, and Other Dastardly Deeds Perpetuated in the Name of Science
Sam Kean
From bestselling author Sam Kean, comes this fascinating and thrilling tour of
the darker side of science--from the past to the present, and even into the future.
In our society, scientists are the good guys--usually. Every so often one of them goes rogue and ends up on the wrong

examines what pushes these otherwise rational men and women to cross the line in the name of science -- like real-life

Many of these incidents have been overlooked in the annals of history, despite their sensational nature. Others were
splashed across the headlines of every tabloid newspaper in their day but have long since receded into the mists of time.

From the guitarist and architect of the Doors sound, comes a revelatory account

Race, Punishment, and the Afterlife of Mass Incarceration
Reuben Jonathan Miller
A remarkable work of scholarship and reportage by a noted sociologist that will
forever change how we look at life after prison.
Each year, more than half a million Americans are released from prison and join a population of eight million formerly
incarcerated men and women. As a chaplain at the Cook County Jail in Chicago and later as a sociologist studying mass
incarceration, Reuben Miller spent years embedded with prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their friends and families. What
his work among them revealed is a simple, if overlooked truth: in most cases, life after prison resembles its own prison.
The idea of serving one's debt and returning as a full-fledged member of society has been replaced with a new reality of
jobs that are off-limits, apartments that cannot be occupied and votes that cannot be cast.
Halfway Home captures the stories of these men and women, focusing in particular on Detroit, New York and Chicago-
the three cities with the largest post-prison populations.
