  New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman has been hailed as one of the best crime fiction writers in America today, winning virtually every major award in the genre. The author of the enormously popular series featuring Baltimore P.I. Tess Monaghan as well as three critically lauded stand-alone novels, Lippman now turns her attention to short stories—and reveals another level of mastery. 
  Lippman sets many of the stories in this sterling anthology, Hardly Knew Her, in familiar territory: her beloved Baltimore, from downtown to its affluent suburbs, where successful businessmen go to shocking lengths to protect what they have or ruthlessly expand their holdings, while dissatisfied wives find murderous ways to escape their lives. But Lippman is also unafraid to travel—to New Orleans, to an unnamed southwestern city, and even to Dublin, the backdrop for the lethal clash of two not-so-innocents abroad. Tess Monaghan is here, in two stories and a profile, aligning herself with various underdogs. And in her extraordinary, never-before-published novella, Scratch a Woman, Lippman takes us deep into the private world of a high-priced call girl/madam and devoted soccer mom, exploring the mystery of what may, in fact, be written in the blood. 
  Each of these ingenious tales is a gem—sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, always filled with delightfully unanticipated twists and reversals. For people who have yet to read Lippman, get ready to experience the spellbinding power of ""one of today's most pleasing storytellers, hailed for her keen psychological insights and her compelling characterizations,"" (San Diego Union-Tribune), who has ""invigorated the crime fiction arena with smart, innovative, and exciting work"" (George Pelecanos). As for longtime devotees of her multiple award-winning novels, you'll discover that you hardly know her.

  The charming and original story of a small, declining community’s struggle to survive in the shadow of an all-consuming metropolis, from from the multi-million copy bestselling author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. 
  All over the world, people sleep blissfully in Traumbett beds. These marvellous feats of German engineering have successfully cornered the mattress market everywhere. Everywhere, except Sweden and owner Konrad Kaltenbacher Jr is desperate to expand there. 
  With Konrad Jr’s sights set firmly on stylish Stockholm, Julia Bäck, district councillor of the small, decaying town of Halstaholm, has plans of her own. Seeing an opportunity to attract 800 new jobs, Julia jumps into spearheading a persuasive campaign to win the contract. A roundabout is hastily renamed in honour of Angela Merkel; a German school is quickly established under the leadership of a ten-year-old boy and three elderly pensioners; and the town swimming pool is rapidly transformed into a beerhouse – it had been empty for years anyway! 
  Julia’s get-up-and-go impresses the German boss … but has she made herself a tricky bed to lie in? 
  Jonas Jonasson's latest best-seller, THE DISTINCTLY COMPETENT DISTRICT COUNCILLOR, is a humorous political satire set in a rural town. As the Sunday Times bestselling author, Jonasson continues to deliver top fiction stories that captivate readers. 
  For fans of Fredrik Backman (My Friends), Richard Osman (We Solve Murders), Lisa See (The Island of Sea Women), Caimh Mcdonnell (Angels in the Moonlight), and Han Kang (We Do Not Part).
