Week of June 27, 2016

Paperback releases for the week of June 27th include OUR SOULS AT NIGHT by Kent Haruf, a bittersweet yet inspiring story of a man and a woman who, in advanced age, come together to wrestle with the events of their lives and their hopes for the imminent future; Preston and Child's CRIMSON SHORE, in which a seemingly straightforward private case turns out to be much more complicated --- and sinister --- than Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast ever could have anticipated; GOLDEN AGE, the final volume of Jane Smiley's Last Hundred Years Trilogy that brings the Langdon family into our present times and beyond; and FIND A WAY, a riveting memoir from Diana Nyad in which she shares a spirited account of what it takes to face one’s fears, engage one’s passions and never ever give up.

Robert Goolrick, author of The Fall of Princes

In THE FALL OF PRINCES, Robert Goolrick brings to vivid life a world of excess and self-indulgence, where limousines waited for hours outside Manhattan’s newest trendy club or the latest dining hot spot. Where drugs were bountiful and not refused. Where no price was too high and flesh was always on offer. Where a quick trip to Europe or a weekend on the coast or a fabulous Hamptons beach house were just part of what was expected. When the money just kept coming and coming and coming...until it didn’t.
