What begins as celebration gives way to betrayal, shattering the trust between two families.

It’s an autumn weekend at a comfortable New York country house where two deeply intertwined families have gathered to mark the host’s 52nd birthday.

Together, the group forms an enviable portrait of middle age. The wives and husbands have been friends for over 30 years, their teenage daughters have grown up together, and the dinners, games and rituals forming their days all reflect the rich bonds between them.

This weekend, however, something is different. An unforeseen curdling of envy and resentment will erupt in an unspeakable act, the aftermath of which exposes treacherous fault lines upon which they have long dwelt.

Written with hypnotic elegance and molten precision, and announcing the arrival of a major literary talent, Hal Ebbott’s AMONG FRIENDS examines betrayal within the sanctuary of a defining relationship, as well as themes of class, marriage, friendship, power, and the things we tell ourselves to preserve our finely made worlds.

Inspired by a true story of leaving small-town Georgia for the vast, unpredictable world beyond, CHASING AIR is a powerful tale of embracing adventure when life presents its toughest challenges.

Inspired by a true story of leaving small-town Georgia for the vast, unpredictable world beyond, CHASING AIR is a powerful tale of embracing adventure when life presents its toughest challenges. 

Inspired by the author’s real-life story, CHASING AIR is a powerful reminder that the greatest adventures often come when you least expect them.

Allison Blanchet has always lived at full throttle. From racing down small-town Georgia streets on her bicycle in the 1960s and ’70s to feeling the rush of adrenaline in a Corvette, in the paddock of the Daytona International Speedway, and in the heights of the Himalayas, Allison has led a life fueled by adventure.

But after a life-altering accident, Allison faces the toughest challenge of all: learning how to find peace, joy and meaning amid grief and loss. Her journey is a poignant reflection on how life’s deepest struggles can also offer its most profound adventures --- and how love, loss and triumph are inextricably connected.

CHASING AIR is a fierce reminder to stay curious, keep dreaming, and dare to soar --- no matter where you start.

All I want is to be innocent again. But that's not how it works. Especially not after the Wheel.

The three Bishop sisters grew up in privilege in the moneyed suburbs of Detroit. But as the auto industry declined, so did their fortunes. Harper, the youngest, is barely making ends meet when her beloved, charismatic sister, Pam --- currently in the middle of a contentious battle with her ex-husband --- and her eldest sister, Debra, approach her about joining an exciting new club.

The Wheel offers women like themselves --- middle-aged and of declining means --- a way to make their own money, independent of husbands or families. Quickly, however, the Wheel’s success, and their own addiction to it, leads to greater and greater risks --- and a crime so shocking that it threatens to bring everything down with it.

Megan Abbott turns her keen eye toward women and money in EL DORADO DRIVE, a riveting story about power, vulnerability, and how desperation draws out our most destructive impulses.

BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES meets WAR OF THE ROSES in this latest thriller from the USA Today bestselling author of BEST DAY EVER and THE NEXT WIFE, in which an ill-fated road trip resurrects a married couple's darkest secrets.

Some secrets keep a couple together.

If you ask Jill Tingley, she’ll tell you she and her husband, Jack, are college sweethearts living the dream in Southern California. Wealthy, popular and genetically blessed, theirs is an enviable life, though they’ve grown distant in recent years. Newly empty nesting with their daughter, Maggie, away at college, Jill suggests a road trip to reconnect.

Jack would rather do anything else than drive to Utah with his wife. He’s only stayed in this marriage because of a shared secret, a tragedy in the past he wanted to keep buried. And for his daughter’s sake. But Jack is finished with the charade of his marriage. He’s filing for divorce as soon as they return, no matter what.

But he doesn’t realize what else Jill is hiding.

So begins a cat-and-mouse road trip as a cunning wife --- think Ripley in yoga pants --- and a reluctant husband match wits and drive each other to the edge. But everything will be fine. Jill still loves Jack and believes he’s the only one for her. She’ll do anything to keep him. Anything. She always has.
