Zebratown
Eight years in the making, this edgy, in-depth account follows a black felon’s attempt to find a new life for himself with a white woman in a small-town neighborhood where—as the book’s title implies—such relationships are common.

Kevin is seemingly the embodiment of hip-hop gangsterism—a heavily muscled...

It explains so much about the moment...Beautiful, heartbreaking work.” —Ta-Nehisi Coates “A deep accounting of how America got to a point where a median white family has 13 times more wealth than the median black family.” —The Atlantic “Extraordinary...Baradaran focuses on a part of the American story that’s often ignored: the way African Americans were locked out of the financial engines that create wealth in America.” —Ezra Klein When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, the black community owned less than 1 percent of the total wealth in America.

Blood Moon Broken
Christmas Eve is very different this year in Atlanta, Georgia. The serial killer dubbed as “The Horseman” has been slicing a bloody path through the beautiful capital of Georgia. However, there is more to the story. The “Horseman” may be responsible for over fifty murders where each victim has been beheaded—and the heads never found. This includes a past secretary of state, which prompts calls to be made at the highest levels of law enforcement, the formation of a special task force headed by the FBI and the recruitment of CIA Agent, Jedadiah Flynn who sometimes is “loaned out” to the FBI on particularly bizarre cases. Everyone seems to have secrets and Flynn’s involvement with the daughter of one of the victims makes things personal. Especially when the biggest secret of all is revealed on Christmas Eve. And just what is the organization known as “The 34”?
