  A wry, thought-provoking fictional portrayal of ten pivotal weeks in the life of Leon Trotsky, inspired by the Russian revolutionary’s exile in New York City in 1917, by the New York Times bestselling author of The Company 
    
  On Saturday, January 13, 1917, an ocean liner docks in New York Harbor. Among the disembarking emigrants is one Lev Davidovich Bronshtein—better known by his nom de guerre, Leon Trotsky. Bronshtein has been on the run for a decade, driven from his beloved Russia after escaping political exile in Siberia, his companion and two sons in tow. He lives and would die for a worker’s revolution, at any cost—but is he ready to become an American? In the weeks leading up to the February Revolution that will see Lenin’s Bolsheviks in power, Bronshtein haunts the streets, newspaper offices, and socialist gathering places of New York City, wrestling with the difficult questions of his personal revolutionary ideology, his place in his own family, his relationship to Lenin, and, above all, his conscience. 
    
  Master of espionage fiction Robert Littell brings to fictional life the ten weeks the world-famous revolutionary spent in the Bronx in this extraordinary meditation on purpose, passion, and the price of progress.

  🍗 Leftover food blogger and meal prep expert Remy Nance is hosting a "Second Helpings" cooking competition when the contest's celebrity judge—a notoriously wasteful food personality—is found dead in the test kitchen, surrounded by suspiciously arranged Thanksgiving leftovers. The police suspect food poisoning, but Remy notices the leftovers have been deliberately temperature-abused and the victim's social media posts contain coded hashtags about food waste fraud. With her blog's reputation on the line and the sustainable food community in chaos, Remy must reheat this cold case to boiling point. Assisted by her foodie followers and the handsome food safety inspector analyzing bacterial growth, Remy uncovers a scheme involving food waste embezzlement, fake charity donations, and a plot to sabotage sustainable chefs. From suspicious mold patterns that reveal intentional spoilage to temperature logs that don't match safety standards, every reheated dish tells a story. But when Remy discovers the victim was systematically diverting donated food to landfill while claiming massive tax write-offs, she realizes the killer is protecting hunger relief efforts more nourishing than any five-star meal. With the competition finale approaching and the real food fraudster still cooking the books, Remy must plate up the evidence before her own career gets permanently shelved.
