Three new works by Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Patrick Shanley, one of our country's most politically current and theatrically elastic playwrights. In Dirty Story, a couple of sadomasochistic writers fight over rights to their New York City loft. In this sexy satire of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is ''astonishing,'' says Tony Kushner, ''the analysis of the Middle East in this play is dead on, exactly perfectly pitched. ''In his dark comedy Where's My Money?, Shanley takes on marriage, infidelity, and divorce lawyers in a play that is ''so harsh, it's funny - terrifying, but funny'' (The New York Times).And in his Sailor's Song, love becomes an act of courage, in a seaside romance about the certainty of death, the brevity of youth, and the importance of now.

"Single mom Tori Sullivan is ready to grab the life she's always wanted--away from Mystic Point. And initially, newcomer Walker Bertrand seems the ideal partner for her adventure. His appeal makes a girl fantasize about happily-ever-after. That is, until it's clear this lawman's strict moral code collides with her knack for bending the rules. Add in his investigation of her sister and that should be a warning that he's not Tori's fairy-tale ending, or her ticket out of town. Yet, Walker seems bent on getting to the bottom of her secrets--something no one has tried to do in a long time. That he wants to know the real Tori, makes resisting him impossible. But being with Walker could be the one thing that holds her here"--Publisher.

For fans of Jo Nesbø and Katrine Engberg, international bestselling author Anne Mette Hancock’s third thrilling novel in the series Harlan Coben calls “the best series I’ve read this year,” is a pulse-pounding Scandinavian noir about secrets, buried truths, and what happens when we go digging into the past. When Jan Frischof, a dying elderly man, gives a deathbed confession too unbelievable to be true, journalist Heloise Kaldan immediately knows there’s a deeper story to uncover. Her gut soon proves to be right—Jan immediately backtracks and warns her that they will both be in danger if she asks any more questions. Could this kind and elderly man really be a cold-blooded killer? Heloise quickly realizes that this is a darker, and far more complicated, investigation. Jan is clearly afraid of something, but who or what he’s afraid of could be a dangerous question for Heloise to find the answer to. As she digs deeper, Heloise begins to see that Jan's confession is connected to a string decades-old disappearances. But next of kin and police are lying to her at every turn, and she has no idea what else Jan could be hiding. Enlisting her friend, detective inspector Erik Schäfer, Heloise begins her descent into the past, unsure of what she will unearth.

What’s a witch-in-training going to do without any magic—especially at the end of the world? Amanda knows there are bigger issues. Time is broken, after all. Not to mention those sudden portals that pop open, sweeping people off to other times or dimensions or… well, no one really knows because no one has ever returned from one. Hey, at least fae and magic are real! But really, stopping the world from collapsing is why she needs to learn some witchcraft. She wants to help reduce the chaos—and protect her friends. But when a bit of experimental spell casting goes wrong, the results threaten not only lives but to tear apart the little sanctuary Amanda calls home. Wondering if it might be best if she never touches magic again, Amanda gets some encouragement and two teachers in the form of a domineering pixie and a mischievous fairy. Maybe with their help, she can unlock the magic she just knows is somewhere inside of her. And if she does, the timing couldn’t be better. There is a need to hurry to find and neutralize the broken runes created by a shattered spell which warps time and manifests the spontaneous portals. Worse, some forces seem all too happy to use the chaos for their benefit—and humanity’s detriment.
