  A seasoned FBI agent and a manipulative serial killer are forced to take shelter in a seedy roadside motel near New Orleans. Over the course of one harrowing night, the killer’s mind games begin to unravel the agent’s psyche, blurring the line between predator and prey. As old secrets resurface, it becomes clear that neither man may walk out alive. 
  Wrench in the Plan is a taut, atmospheric thriller with psychological depth, evocative of Silence of the Lambs, No Country for Old Men, and True Detective. The novel delves into the inner conflicts of its protagonists, exploring themes of guilt, obsession, and the haunting weight of past mistakes. This gritty Southern Gothic thriller barrels forward with Tarantinoesque style, pitch-black humor, and nerve-fraying suspense. With its film version already in development—complete with a website ( www.wrenchintheplan.com ), trailer, and proof-of-concept short—Wrench in the Plan delivers a story that demands to be read, listened to, seen, and remembered.

  “The greatest writer to have appeared in Latin America since the so-called ‘boom’ . . . I’m tempted to call Bolaño the love child of David Lynch and Jorge Luis Borges—he’s that visceral and erudite—but this wouldn’t do justice to his ambition.” —John Powers, NPR’s Fresh AirIn 1938 Paris, Monsieur Pierre Pain, a beleaguered mesmerist and a lonely bachelor, receives a telegram from his friend and unrequited love, Madame Reynaud: an acquaintance of hers lies in a hospital bed beset with a mysterious, and apparently terminal, case of the hiccups. She entreats Pain to use his peculiar skill set to cure him, and buoyed by her confidence, he agrees. But nothing about this case turns out to be ordinary, and soon Pain finds himself entangled in a dark and indecipherable sequence of events that sends him racing through the umbrous streets of Paris, lost and delirious. He attempts to visit the patient—none other than the exiled Peruvian poet César Vallejo—only to be barred from his bedside. He is stalked by a ghostly pair of men who emerge from the shadows to bribe him not to treat the poet. He encounters a former peer, now working across the border in war-torn Spain, whose career has taken a shockingly sinister turn, one which may explain this entire nightmare—or prove just another coincidence. A hypnotic and surreal noir, Roberto Bolaño’s Monsieur Pain takes us on a labyrinthine journey through conspiracy, occultism, and the unfathomable evil looming in our midst.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  When reporter Rebecca Connolly gets a tip that suspected murderer Roddie Drummond will be returning to the island of Stoirm, she smells a story. Though never convicted in the death of his girlfriend Mhairi fifteen years earlier, Drummond is still guilty in the eyes of many islanders, and his return for his mother's funeral is sure to stir up old resentments, hatreds, possibly even violence. Rebecca has another reason for going to Stoirm. Her own father came from there, but he never went back, and he always refused to speak of it or say what drove him away. 
   
   
                                                             
  Defying her editor, Rebecca joins forces with local photographer Chazz Wymark to dig into the mystery surrounding Mhairi's death and her unexplained last words, "Thunder Bay"—the secluded spot on the west coast of the island where, according to local lore, the souls of the dead set off into the afterlife. When a string of violent events erupts across the island, Rebecca discovers the power of secrets, and she must decide what to bury, and what to bring into the light. 
   
   
    
  Longlisted for Bloody Scotland's McIlvanney Prize for best crime book of the year, Thunder Bay has been hailed as "Immersive, compelling . . . [with a] jaw-dropping climax" (Neil Broadfoot, author of the MacGregor and Drummond thrillers).
