Cover Story

Cover Story by Susan Rigetti is an unforgettable tale of scams and double-crosses told through emails, diary entries, and FBI correspondence. Lora Ricci is beyond excited when she lands a summer internship at Elle, and her future only looks brighter when the wealthy Cat Wolff takes her under her wing. It's not long before Lora is swept up into Cat's world, working as her ghostwriter by day and joining her at lavish parties by night.

Sea of Tranquility

Award-winning author Emily Mandel is back with her most ambitious novel to date in Sea of Tranquility. Spanning centuries, the story begins in 1912 with a young man who hears the echo of violin strings in the forest, before moving two centuries forward to cover the doomed book tour of moon-dweller Olive Llewellyn. Finally, the story winds its way to Gaspery Roberts, a detective investigating an anomaly that appears to have driven a man mad in his prime and trapped an author on a plague-ravaged Earth. Now it's up to Gaspery to figure out who tampered with time itself and why.
