T. Greenwood, acclaimed author of Two Rivers and The Hungry Season, crafts a moving, lyrical story of loss, atonement, and promises kept. One November morning, Ben Bailey walks out of his Flagstaff, Arizona, home to retrieve the paper. Instead, he finds Ricky Begay, a young Navajo man, beaten and dying in the newly fallen snow. Unable to forget the incident, especially once he meets Ricky's sister, Shadi, Ben begins to question everything, from his job as a part-time history professor to his fiancée, Sara. When Ben first met Sara, he was mesmerized by her optimism and easy confidence. These days, their relationship only reinforces a loneliness that stretches back to his fractured childhood. Ben decides to discover the truth about Ricky's death, both for Shadi's sake and in hopes of filling in the cracks in his own life. Yet the answers leave him torn–between responsibility and happiness, between his once-certain future and the choices that could liberate him from a delicate web of lies he has spun.

Pillow
Literary crime novel populated by French Surrealist authors of the twenties; characters include imagined versions of André Breton, Georges Bataille, Antonin Artaud, Guillaume Apollinaire (changed to be an old woman), Robert Desnos, Louis Aragon (changed to be a young woman with cool hair), Jacques Prevert and Michel Simon.Pillow is a twist on the anti-hero that looms so large in the cultural imagination right now (Tao Lin's novels, HBO series including Breaking Bad and The Knick). In fact, he's an anti-anti-hero: a sweet, pleasant person with an original mind who nonetheless engages in sketchy and immoral behaviour.Written in the weirdo-whimsical vein of, say, Miranda July or Sheila Heti, moreso than the tough men despairing things in short sentences vein of, say, Dennis Lehane, which is what you usually get in literary crimeland. With echoes of an Elmore Leonard thriller: funny, and driven by colorful characters.Boxing subculture is well-connected and generally hungry for reasonably intelligent writing.Author's sister is Claire Battershill, author of Circus (McClelland & Stewart, 2014) winner of the CBC Literary Award for Short Fiction.

Lieutenant Hornblower
Lieutenant Hornblower (first published in 1952) is the second book in the series chronologically, but the seventh by order of publication. The book is unique in the series in being told not from Horatio Hornblower's point of view, but rather from Bush's. This helped Forester to explain Hornblower's unsuitable first marriage besides giving an objective view of Hornblower himself.[1] This unusual narrative perspective also allows Forester to sustain a mystery, advanced hint by hint in the course of the novel, about how Captain Sawyer came to be injured—an event possibly witnessed by Hornblower.
The Treasure of Atlantis
A classic Lost Race novel, originally pbulished in the December 1916 issue of The All-Around Magazine.
