How will Kai and Holo?

Aurelia wants nothing more than to escape Trouble Island, but she is hiding a secret of her own.

An ice storm makes unexpected landfall, cutting Trouble Island off from both mainlands, and with more than one murderer among them.

Both a gripping locked-room mystery and a transporting, evocative portrait of a woman in crisis, TROUBLE ISLAND marks the enthralling stand-alone suspense debut from Sharon Short, promising to be her breakout novel, inspired by a real island in Lake Erie and true events from her own rich family history.

A celebration of basketball by way of the 100 greatest players to ever grace the court in the history of the NBA --- from The Athletic’s foremost basketball writers and analysts the game has to offer. With a foreword by Charles Barkley.

Over the course of 100 luminous player profiles, the best sports newsroom on the planet paints vivid portraits of the game’s most compelling characters.

There’s George Mikan, who was cut from his high school team because he wore glasses, then went on to become the fledgling NBA’s first transcendent star. Gary Payton, called “The Glove” for his skintight defense, who talked as much trash to his teammates as he did to his opponents on the court. Dennis Rodman, who started playing basketball at age 20, and in a few short years went from working as a janitor at the airport to being one of the strangest superstars that sport has ever known.

Allen Iverson, who drew inspiration from hip hop for his inimitable style and swagger, on and off the court. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was so dominant in the paint that they changed the rules --- and Steph Curry, who was so dominant outside it that he seemed to expand the very boundaries of the court.

THE BASKETBALL 100, edited by award-winning reporters David Aldridge and John Hollinger, also answers the game’s toughest, most important questions: How should we weigh championship rings, versus statistical profiles, versus the “eye test”? Were the great players of yesteryear, like Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell, propelled by the inferior athleticism of their competition, or would they have been transcendent in any era? And of course, who’s the GOAT --- MJ or LeBron? Speaking of GOATs, for the book, Hollinger (inventor of the statistical metric PER) has created a new benchmark, GOAT Points.

Wonderfully written, authoritative and full of joy, THE BASKETBALL 100 is a fitting tribute to the greatest sport in the world.
