  Warwick, whose name has a second W that's silent, also has a new neighbor who is anything but. The constant creak of bedsprings and headboard banging against the common wall has Warwick in 11-A wondering if the activity in 11-B is an occupation and not merely an enjoyable hobby.
  When Warwick finally meets noisy neighbor Dom, though fun, heat, and music ensue, uncertainty and questions remain. Some things are easily explained away by the sort of happenstance and misunderstanding silly sitcom plots are based on, but a painful past connection, a difficult future, and a lie in the present set up roadblocks Warwick and Dom struggle to get over. 
  Can Warwick and Dom create a second verse to their love song, or will the tune end before it really begins?

  “Leonard is tops in his field.” —New Orleans Times-Picayune 
  The great Elmore Leonard, “America’s pre-eminent crime fiction writer” (Chicago Tribune), takes readers back to Prohibition days in the back hills of Kentucky in a rollicking story of guns, greed, and illegally brewed corn liquor. The Moonshine War is a tale of the chaos that ensues when a gang of city slickers sets out to steal thousands of dollars-worth of homemade whiskey from a hell-raising country boy—who is anything but the easy mark they were expecting. A rediscovered Elmore Leonard classic, The Moonshine War is a wild ride bursting with the author’s hallmark delights: the twisty plot, the gripping suspense, the wit and, of course, the razor-sharp dialogue. It’s no wonder that the creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens—lately the star of the hit TV series Justified—is always listed among the mystery and crime fiction elite, including John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker, and often at the very top of the list.

  The Imp of the Perverse

  Edgar Allan Poe

  "The Imp of the Perverse" is a short story by 19th-century American author and critic Edgar Allan Poe. Beginning as an essay, it discusses the narrator's self-destructive impulses, embodied as the symbolic metaphor of "the Imp of the Perverse". The narrator describes this spirit as the agent that tempts a person to do things "merely because we feel we should not."
  In the story, the narrator commits murder to inherit a man's estate. A coroner attributes the death to an act of God, and the narrator benefits from his crime. Several years later, the narrator starts obsessing about a possible confession for his crime. He acts on a self-destructive impulse, and confesses his crime in public, leading to his swift trial and execution.
  The narrator explains at length his theory on "The Imp of the Perverse", which he believes causes people to commit acts against their self-interest. This essay-like discussion is presented objectively, though the narrator admits that he is "one of the many uncounted victims of the Imp of the Perverse". He then explains how his conviction for murder was the result of this.

  Samuel Brathwaite has not had an easy life. He was kidnapped as a young boy and raised by Paiute Indians. Taken away from his home at a young age, and raised in a completely different environment changed and shaped the young boy to be something else. His original name was dropped and the Paiutes called him Shandunka, giving him a completely new life and identity from what he might have had. 
  Shandunka has never felt welcome with either the white settlers of his origin, or with the Paiutes who abducted and raised him. The former view him as a unique oddity, a white man trying to be a savage, and the Paiutes view him as an outsider that was never really part of their tribe. 
  This sense of disconnect, of being a man apart haunts Shandunka for the rest of his life.
