Paperback releases for the week of August 8th include HARLEM SHUFFLE, a gloriously entertaining novel of heists, shakedowns and rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s from Colson Whitehead, the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD and THE NICKEL BOYS; WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BENNETTS, Lisa Scottoline's pulse-pounding thriller with a tagline that will intrigue you: Your family has been attacked, never again to be the same. Now you have to choose between law...and justice; THIS WILL ALL BE OVER SOON, a powerful memoir from "Saturday Night Live" cast member Cecily Strong about grieving the death of her cousin --- and embracing the life-affirming lessons he taught her --- amid the coronavirus pandemic; and THE READING LIST by Sara Nisha Adams, an unforgettable and heartwarming debut about how a chance encounter with a list of library books helps forge an unlikely friendship between two very different people in a London suburb.

Lisa Scottoline, author of What Happened to the Bennetts

Jason Bennett is driving his family home after his daughter’s field hockey game when a pickup truck begins tailgating them. Suddenly two men jump from the pickup and pull guns on Jason, demanding the car. A horrific flash of violence changes his life forever. Later that awful night, Jason and his family receive a visit from the FBI. The carjackers were members of a dangerous drug-trafficking organization, and now Jason and his family are in their crosshairs. The agents advise them to enter the witness protection program, and they have no choice but to agree. The Bennetts begin to fall apart at the seams. Then Jason learns a shocking truth and realizes that he has to take matters into his own hands.

What Happened to the Bennetts by Lisa Scottoline

April 2022

I am going on the record here: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BENNETTS is Lisa Scottoline’s best thriller! It is fast-paced with so many twists and turns, and I felt like something important to furthering the plot happened on every page.

The Bennetts are a happy family on their way home from their daughter’s lacrosse game, merrily talking about it. A pickup truck is tailing them way too closely. They slow down, but it keeps coming, and then it flies around them and stops. Two men leap from the vehicle, and it feels like a carjacking. There’s gunfire, and by the time it’s done, one of the Bennetts is dead and so is one of the gunmen. What just happened? This is only page nine. When the grieving Bennetts get home that night, there is a knock on the door. Two FBI agents tell them that they need to be moved into protective custody. This is page 29, and the action keeps up like that right until the end. Whew!
