  Food blogger Hope Early finds one item not on her scavenger hunt list—a dead husband . . .  
  Between developing her food blog, Hope at Home, and choosing low-cal recipes for a feature in Cooking Now! magazine, Hope has a full plate. Still, she's never too busy to compete in a Jefferson, Connecticut, tradition—the town's annual scavenger hunt. 
  But as she races with her team to check off the next item, Hope discovers a grisly surprise—the body of shady real estate developer Lionel Whitcomb, shot in a parking lot. His wife Elaine, who's also in the hunt, gasps and nearly faints. But two other women on the scene cry out that their husband is dead. 
  It turns out this louse of a spouse was more than a little lax in legally divorcing his former wives. Did one of them put a bullet in the bigamist? Number one suspect and number three wife Elaine begs Hope to investigate. Now Hope is on a new kind of hunt—for a cold-hearted killer and triple widow-maker . . .

  When anthropology professor Gideon Oliver is offered a teaching fellowship at US military bases in Germany, Sicily, Spain, and Holland, he wastes no time accepting. Stimulating courses to teach, a decent stipend, all expenses paid, plenty of interesting European travel...What's not to like?It does not take him long to find out. On his first night, he is forced to fend off two desperate, black-clad men who have invaded his Heidelberg hotel room with intent to kill. And then there are a few trivial details that the recruiting agency forgot to mention — such as the fact that the two previous holders of the fellowship both met with mysterious ends.From there, it is all downhill. Gideon finds himself the target in an unfamiliar game for which no one has bothered to give him the rules. What he does have is his own considerable intellect and his remarkable forensic skills. He will need them, for he is playing for some fairly high stakes: the security of Western Europe.

  Winesburg Ohio

  Published in 1919, and listed on the Modern Library roster of the 20th century's 100 greatest novels in English, Winesburg, Ohio presents a series of loosely related character studies of the inhabitants of a fictional Midwestern town that together form a novel of unusual unity and vision. The inarticulate and lonely citizens of Winesburg, each with his or her own secret tale to tell, frequently relate those tales to, or through their interactions with, the character of George Willard, a young Winesburg citizen on the cusp of manhood with dreams of becoming a writer. Thus Winesburg tells the story of the townspeople's loneliness and alienation in parallel with the tale of George's own coming of age. The citizens of Winesburg are described obliquely as "grotesques," but as the introductory chapter makes clear, "The grotesques were not all horrible. Some were amusing, some almost beautiful . . ." (Description by Stewart Wills)

  On the Precipice

  Imperium, one of the most powerful societies in the universe, is on the brink of a generation-defining electoral cycle. Will Imperials continue to support the Expansionist Party, which favors annihilating their chief rival, the Core, through military measures, or will Imperials vote for the Affiliate Party, which favors weakening the Core through political pressure? 
  There are seven Lord Regents, each of whom oversees a particular sphere of influence. Moreover, each Lord Regent has their own Prophate, who acts as their religious adviser. Notably, some Prophates are content with their place in Imperial society, while others have ambitions that perhaps exceed their office . . . 
  Through strange circumstances, Raelynn Mabry, a recent graduate of the Keeper system, begins working for Levin Liston, the Lord Regent of Diplomacy and the leader of the Affiliate Party. Raelynn becomes embroiled in the political rivalry between Liston and Cyno Banner, the Lord Regent of War and Defense, the leader of the Expansionist Party, and the current Head of the Assembly. Liston is trying to negotiate an alliance with the Civitan, a power that has recently seceded from the Core, but this alliance is not exactly popular. Indeed, most Expansionists oppose it, as they question whether the Civitan, which had fought against Imperium during the decades-long Glass War, can be trusted. 
  The Expansionist Party and the Affiliate Party have disparate views of what kind of power Imperium should be in the universe. If the Expansionists win, then the status quo remains intact, but if the Affiliates win, then this signals a seismic shift in Imperial politics. As Imperium nears Election Day, choices are made, and alliances are drawn—or destroyed. The future of Imperium hangs in the balance, and the stakes have never been higher.
