Michael Savage

A Time for War

From The New York Times bestselling author of Abuse of Power and radio host of The Savage Nation comes a powerful new thriller.

A Chinook helicopter carrying a squad of Navy Seals suddenly plummets to earth in Afghanistan.  A car driven by FBI agents tailing a suspicious vehicle is mysteriously rendered immobile in San Francisco.  The body of a Chinese agent is found floating miles from the Golden Gate Bridge after being fed to sharks.  The U.S. is under secret attack and only Jack Hatfield, a popular televison host hounded from his position by left-wing forces in the media for speaking the truth, suspects the danger of this lethal conspiracy.  With the help of Dover Griffith, an idealistic young woman staffer at the Office of Naval Intelligence, Hatfield pursues a trail leading to a billionaire American electronics entrepreneur who has sold out his own country with the help of officials at the highest level of the American government. 

KEY SELLING POINTS:

• Savage's first novel, Abuse of Power, hit #4 on the New York Times bestseller list in it's first week on-sale, spent five weeks on the NYT list, and also hit the bestseller lists for Barnes & Noble, Publishers Weekly, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal. His most recent nonfiction title, Trickle Up Poverty spent 11 weeks on the NYT list, hitting #2 in its second week. A TIME FOR WAR will publish in hardcover in February. • The Savage Nation has an audience of 8 to 10 million listeners on 400 stations across the United States.  It is the 3rd most listened to radio talk show in the country, and Michael Savage sells his books relentlessly.

“A thriller sure to score a bull's-eye with its target audience . . . Savage pulls off some neat twists as Hatfield and a handful of amateurs fight to prevent a disaster that certain officials choose to ignore or abet.” —Publishers Weekly

Gregg Hurwitz

The Survivor The #1 international bestselling author of You’re Next unleashes his most accomplished compelling thriller yet.

Nate Overbay—a former solider suffering from PTSD and ALS—goes to an eleventh-floor bank and climbs out the bathroom window onto the ledge, ready to end it all. But as he’s steeling himself to jump, a crew of gunmen bursts into the bank and begins viciously shooting employees and customers. With nothing to lose, Nate climbs back inside, confronts the robbers, and with his military training, starts taking them out one by one. The last man standing leaves Nate with a cryptic warning, “He will make you pay in ways you can’t imagine.”

KEY SELLING POINTS:

• Gregg’s most recent mass market, You're Next, had its strongest sales to date, up 544% over They're Watching in the first three weeks after pub. • Gregg’s newest hardcover, City of Fog, publishes Spring/Summer 2013. • Booksellers, fans, and fellow writers, not to mention in-house folks, have all responded in nearly one voice: compelling, page-turning, bestselling fiction. • Visit www.gregghurwitz.net.

“Surely Hurwitz can’t keep this up forever. Lately, each new book he publishes is his best so far, and this one’s no exception… The story itself is thoroughly engaging…but it’s Nate himself, a hero with a built-in expiration date, who makes this such a gripping book.” –Booklist (starred)

Leigh Evans

The Thing About Weres The second book in the thrilling paranormal Mystwalker series

Hedi Peacock had always wanted two things—to find her One True Thing and to be reunited with her missing twin brother.

Admittedly, ending up as the Alpha-by-proxy to a pack of Werewolves was a bit of a detour from her life goals. And quite frankly, the job had proven to be a tad more complicated than she’d anticipated. Exhibit A: Six lousy months after she’d slid Robson Trowbridge through the Gates of Merenwyn—the wolves of Creemore want her blood and the North American Council of Weres want her dead.  

KEY SELLING POINTS:

• The Thing About Weres is the second book in a dynamite series featuring Hedi Peacock, a habitual petty thief with a secret she doesn’t like to share —she’s not human, and she has the pointy Fae ears and "Were inner-bitch" to prove it. • We are pubbing this series in a big way, debuting at the Spotlight position. Leigh Evans is our next paranormal romance star! • We have fabulous quotes in from multiple New York Times bestselling authors including Darynda Jones, Karen Chance, Cloe Neill and Suzanne McLeod. • Leigh Evans’ style is a wonderful blend of our own Darynda Jones and Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse series.

“It's rare to find a debut novel with a well-crafted world, a great story and dynamic characters, but this book has them all. I was grabbed early and hooked to the very end. I eagerly await the sequel!” —Karen Chance, New York Times bestselling author of the

Cassandra Palmer and Dorina Basarab series

Why Dukes Say I Do

High-stakes mystery and searing romance collide in the first book of the Wicked Widows trilogy.

When Lady Isabella Wharton receives a summons from her godmother, the dowager Duchess of Ormonde, she knows the news won’t be good. From her disastrous marriage, to her reckless widowhood, she and the duchess have never seen eye to eye. But this time the old woman has gone too far. Not only is she demanding that Isabella leave town at the height of the season, she wants her to convince the new Duke of Ormonde, who lives in obscurity as a gentleman farmer in the wilds of Yorkshire, to give up his rustication and come to London. Prepared to give the duchess a polite but firm no, Isabella is stunned when the older woman tells her that she knows what she, Georgina Mowbray and the duchess’s own daughter-in-law, Perdita, did last summer and she’s prepared to tell all if Isabella refuses to perform her task. Since she would do anything to protect their secret, Isabella swallows her bile and packs for Yorkshire. But not before warning Georgina and Perdita that their secret is out.

KEY SELLING POINTS:

• Why Dukes Say I Do is the first book in a trilogy, akin to a Regency I Know What You Did Last Summer, in which three widows conspire to hide the truth about the death of a duke and find love in the process. • Collins's, How to Dance with a Duke, spent 5 weeks on the Bookscan Romance list. • Manda Collins is a wonderful new voice in the tradition of authors like Amanda Quick, Loretta Chase and Julia Quinn.

"Collins’ second installment of the Ugly Duckling trilogy is both a lovely, sensitive romance and a taut thriller. Collins brings a dashing hero and a wounded wallflower together in the type of love story readers take to heart. With compassion and perception, she delves into the issues faced by those who survive physical and emotional trauma. Brava to Collins!"—Romantic Times on How to Romance a Rake

James D. Doss

The Old Gray Wolf

Colorado rancher and investigator Charlie Moon accidentally kills a purse snatcher with ties to the mob in Doss's latest gem.

Former police officer, sometime tribal investigator, and current rancher Charlie Moon was enjoying a relaxing vacation day in a nearby town with his friend, Police Chief Scott Parris. They weren't looking for any trouble, and they would have been more than happy to just mind their own business the whole day. But the purse-snatching LeRoy Hooten leaves them with little choice but to give chase when he makes a run for it, and things quickly start getting out of hand. When Hooten dies as a result of his injuries, as bad as Charlie and Scott feel about it, there's little that they can do. However, the dead man's mother—a brutal mobster's widow—wastes no time making a call to an old associate to settle the score.

KEY SELLING POINTS:

• James Doss is the clear successor to Tony Hillerman with this sharp and engrossing Native American series. A tight plot, quick wit, and an intriguing crime make Old Gray Wolf, the seventeenth installment in the popular Charlie Moon series, a must-have. • Doss' mysteries are consistent sellers. • The Charlie Moon series is widely acclaimed and reviewers regularly compare Doss to bestsellers like Dana Stabenow and Tony Hillerman.

“A fitting capstone to this offbeat western series…Doss’s fans will enjoy a final chance to explore a world that offers glimpses of real-life Ute culture as well as violence that falls somewhere between Cormac McCarthy and Tex Avery.” —Publishers Weekly on The Old Gray Wolf

John Follain

A Death in Italy  John Follain presents the most comprehensive account of the most publicized and controversial trial in a decade.

Shortly after 12:30pm on November 2, 2007, Italian police were called to the Perugia home of twenty-one-year-old British student Meredith Kercher. They found her body on the floor under a beige quilt. Her throat had been cut. Four days later, the prosecutor jailed Meredith's roommate, American student Amanda Knox, and Raffaele Sollecito, her Italian boyfriend. He also jailed Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast drifter. Four years later Knox and Sollecito were acquitted amid chaotic scenes in front of the world's media.

KEY SELLING POINTS:

• A Death In Italy is the only book to tell the full story from the murder of Meredith Kercher to the acquittal of Knox and Sollecito--an account of the investigation based on four years of in-depth interviews with the two prosecutors who led it, police detectives, forensic experts, lawyers for Knox and the Kerchers among others. • Follain is the only author to have in-depth interviews with Amanda’s and Meredith's families, as well as Meredith’s friend Sophie Purton, the last friend to see her alive. He's also the only author who has met Amanda in prison, where he visited her twice and got access to the cottage where Meredith was murdered.

“It’s a gripping read: a balanced, detailed account that allows the reader to respond to the central question: did they or didn't they?...It’s  hard to imagine there will be a better book on the subject.” —The Observer (UK)

  “A ‘must read.’ An excellent account of the tragedy and the very Italian drama that followed.” —The Sunday Times (UK)
