Hidden

A computer hacker’s criminal past comes back to haunt her in this “edge-of-your-seat thriller” from the author of Vanished (Alison Gaylin, USA Today–bestselling author). Nicole Jones lives off the grid. She doesn’t have a driver’s license, passport, or even a bank account. She definitely doesn’t own a computer. Operating bike tours on Block Island, she hasn’t left her New England refuge in fifteen years. But it’s not that she’s afraid of the world. She’s afraid of what she could do to it if she ever plugged back in. Because Nicole Jones isn’t her real name. Still wanted by the FBI, she was once one of the best cyberthieves in the business. When the last person Nicole wants to see suddenly appears on the island, using a name he knows will draw her out, Nicole realizes that no one can hide forever—not even her. As her secret past comes to light and her carefully-constructed life starts to unravel, Nicole’s long-time haven becomes a prison, and her only chance for survival is hacking her way out.

Children and Childhood in the Works of Stephen King

This unique and timely collection examines childhood and the child character throughout Stephen King’s works, from his early novels and short stories, through film adaptations, to his most recent publications. King’s use of child characters within the framework of horror (or of horrific childhood) raises questions about adult expectations of children, childhood, the American family, child agency, and the nature of fear and terror for (or by) children. The ways in which King presents, complicates, challenges, or terrorizes children and notions of childhood provide a unique lens through which to examine American culture, including both adult and social anxieties about children and childhood across the decades of King’s works.

Shifting Baselines explores the real-world implications of a groundbreaking idea: we must understand the oceans of the past to protect the oceans of the future. In 1995, acclaimed marine biologist Daniel Pauly coined the term "shifting baselines" to describe a phenomenon of lowered expectations, in which each generation regards a progressively poorer natural world as normal. This seminal volume expands on Pauly's work, showing how skewed visions of the past have led to disastrous marine policies and why historical perspective is critical to revitalize fisheries and ecosystems. Edited by marine ecologists Jeremy Jackson and Enric Sala, and historian Karen Alexander, the book brings together k...

After her father’s heart attack and subsequent surgery, Helen Atherton returns to her hometown of Washington, D.C., to help take care of him and, perhaps more honestly, herself. She’s been living in Los Angeles, trying to work in Hollywood, slowly spiraling into a depression fueled by hours spent watching C-SPAN---her obsession with politics a holdover from a childhood interrupted by her father’s involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal. The rest of the world might have forgotten it, but the Atherton family never quite recovered. With sharp, witty, and suspenseful prose, All the Houses reveals their story, as Helen pieces together the political moves that pulled her family apart.

New Haven Noir

“In an Ivy League town, Bloom turns Yale’s motto—Lux et Veritas—on its head, finding darkness and deceit in every corner of New Haven.” —Kirkus Reviews The image of a charming college town serves New Haven well, but its natives know that the city has been built on a rich—and violent—history that still seeps out from between the cracks in the sidewalks and the halls of learning.

Carter, and Roxana Robinson, to portray New Haven’s underbelly. Highlights of the anthology include Lisa D. Gray’s “The...
