A diabolical hacker, ignited by an innocent transgression in a coffee shop, is hell bent on destroying Jay's life. After recently separating from his girlfriend, Jay was already miserable. Amidst the obliteration of everything around him, he fears ruin of his final chance with Jenni most of all. Life as an orphan and runaway teen did not prepare Jay for what was yet to come. The hacker not only deleted his existence from every known database in the world, but falsified a criminal record that has Jay wanted as an international fugitive. His survival is at the mercy of three homeless men who dwell in the underbelly of Manhattan. With Jenni's help, Ted Stone, a long-retired detective who helped take down the mob in its heyday, becomes an unlikely but promising ally, along with his maverick sketch artist as they pit their old school police methods against an elite hacker who is always one step ahead.

Book excerpt: By 1884, a new type of fencing called barbed wire—or, as ranchers deemed it, devil wire—is making more enemies than good neighbors in the American West. Jim Hartford, a failed farmer from Tennessee, is looking for a new beginning in Miles City, Montana. What he finds is a territorial disagreement that erupts in bloodshed. A local cattle baron has hired a renegade group of fence-cutters who turn out to be a band of grudge-holding murderers...and now it's up to Jim to put his life on the line not only to avenge the death of his brother, but to save the woman he loves from the deadly barbs of hatred and greed.

Book excerpt: Harry Maul, also known as The Hawk, is a safe-breaker, forger, jewel thief, and one of the cleverest 'gentleman' crooks, wanted by the police and also by criminal gangs.

Frank Packard (1877-1942) was a Canadian novelist best known for his Jimmie Dale mystery series. As a young man he worked as a civil engineer for the Canadian Pacific Railway. His experiences working on the railroad led to his writing a series of railroad stories and novels. Packard also wrote number of mystery novels, the most famous of which featured a character called Jimmie Dale, a wealthy playboy by day and a fearless crime fighter by night. Jimmie Dale novels brought the idea of a costume and mask for hero's secret identity, and also established the concept of a hero's secret hideout or lair.

Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Washington Post • Publishers Weekly New Hyde Hospital’s psychiatric ward has a new resident. It also has a very, very old one. Pepper is a rambunctious big man, minor-league troublemaker, working-class hero (in his own mind), and, suddenly, the surprised inmate of a budget-strapped mental institution in Queens, New York. He’s not mentally ill, but that doesn’t seem to matter. He is accused of a crime he can’t quite square with his memory. In the darkness of his room on his first night, he’s visited by a terrifying creature with the body of an old man and the head of a bison who nearly kills him before being hustled away by the hospital staff. It’s no delusion: The other patients confirm that a hungry devil roams the hallways when the sun goes down. Pepper rallies three other inmates in a plot to fight back: Dorry, an octogenarian schizophrenic who’s been on the ward for decades and knows all its secrets; Coffee, an African immigrant with severe OCD, who tries desperately to send alarms to the outside world; and Loochie, a bipolar teenage girl who acts as the group’s enforcer. Battling the pill-pushing staff, one another, and their own minds, they try to kill the monster that’s stalking them. But can the Devil die? The Devil in Silver brilliantly brings together the compelling themes that spark all of Victor LaValle’s radiant fiction: faith, race, class, madness, and our relationship with the unseen and the uncanny. More than that, it’s a thrillingly suspenseful work of literary horror about friendship, love, and the courage to slay our own demons. Praise for The Devil in Silver “A fearless exploration of America’s heart of darkness . . . a dizzying high-wire act.”—The Washington Post “LaValle never writes the same book and his recent is a stunner. . . . Fantastical, hellish and hilarious.”—Los Angeles Times “It’s simply too bighearted, too gentle, too kind, too culturally observant and too idiosyncratic to squash into the small cupboard of any one genre, or even two.”—The New York Times Book Review “Embeds a sophisticated critique of contemporary America’s inhumane treatment of madness in a fast-paced story that is by turns horrifying, suspenseful, and comic.”—The Boston Globe “LaValle uses the thrills of horror to draw attention to timely matters. And he does so without sucking the joy out of the genre. . . . A striking and original American novelist.”—The New Republic

Book excerpt: Today, in the aftermath of UPI's tragic plummet, it is still hard to believe that a journalistic institution with a tradition of excellence so hard earned and well deserved could have been allowed to self-destruct and almost disappear. The authors- who together have a combined forty-three years of experience at UPI- tell a stunning, insiders' tale of intrigue, mismanagement, financial gymnastics, greed, and lust for power. The story, spiced with heroics and betrayals, comedy, and pathos, provides an extraordinary glimpse into how UPI was dragged from the ranks of the world's media giant. -- Book Jacket.
