  When Kit Manirat’s body collapses under the effects of poison, it’s clear someone wants him silenced. His brothers, Kam and Zone, know exactly who: Rome—once a mentor and ally—has painted targets on their backs. 
  Fleeing Bangkok for the hills of northern Thailand, they struggle to hold together under the weight of grief, guilt, and secrets. But peace was never an option. Rome is already closer than they think—and he has no intention of letting any of them walk away whole. 
  As loyalties fracture and surveillance closes in, each of them must decide what they’re willing to risk to protect the ones who matter most. Because in this game, pain is the currency—and the only thing worse than death is survival. 
  One way or another, this Ouroboros cycle will end…

  When a sheriff's investigation into the murder of a prison inmate is stymied at every turn, she suspects members of her own force and the county prosecutor of helping to torpedo the effort. She's run up against Buck Stevens, the kingpin of business and politics in LaSalle County—a man the sheriff has learned to distrust and fear.

  Tony's team soon discovers a deep vein of corruption that pervades the county, poisoning everything and everyone it touches. Determined to expose the rot and bring the killers to justice, Tony and his colleagues soon find themselves battling a ruthless cabal engaged in a conspiracy sinister enough to kill for. 
   
   
   
  It's a deadly cat and mouse game in which Tony doesn’t know who—if anyone—he can trust. Either justice will prevail, or the body count will grow. Will Tony or one of his associates be the next victim?

  Absenting himself for a brief intimacy with a former girlfriend, Hugh Mcpherson leaves his surfing-obsessed sons on an isolated California beach. When he returns, the eleven-year-old twins have vanished. A ferocious riptide has swept Takumi and Hitoshi out to sea, their bodies unrecovered.  
  Devastated by the loss, Hugh and his Japanese wife Setsuko divorce. Severing all ties to America, Setsuko returns to Japan to live with her father, Kazuki Ono, a prominent author of mind-bending novels.  
  After grieving for ten years and longing for Setsuko, Hugh swims out to sea to drown himself. As he sinks, his sons appear to him, holding the last letter that he had sent to their mother, begging her forgiveness. Abandoning his suicide, Hugh swims back to shore. The incident awakens memories that throw doubt on the accepted version of his sons’ deaths. His doubts are intensified when he learns that Kazuki Ono has come to California to finish a novel called Fingal’s Cave, the tale of a brash American who marries a Japanese woman against the wishes of her father, a powerful businessman with ties to the yakuza.  
  Provoked by his memories and by obliquely revealing passages found in Kazuki’s books, Hugh begins a quixotic journey across the California landscape, encountering numerous characters of ill-will and cross-purpose who inexorably lead him toward a film-industry firm called Nakamura Reality—and a labyrinth that challenges him to separate reality from fiction to find his way out … and perhaps back to his sons.  
  To understand Japanese culture requires reading between the lines. This is Hugh Mcpherson’s challenge in Nakamura Reality, a beguiling blend of mystery, odyssey, inconsolable loss, and obsession.

  “Willy Vlautin is not known for happy endings, but there’s something here that defies the downward pull. In the end, Lynette is pure life force: fierce and canny and blazing through a city that no longer has space for her, and it’s all Portland’s loss.”—Portland Monthly Magazine 
  Award-winning author Willy Vlautin explores the impact of trickle-down greed and opportunism of gentrification on ordinary lives in this scorching novel that captures the plight of a young woman pushed to the edge as she fights to secure a stable future for herself and her family. 
  Barely thirty, Lynette is exhausted. Saddled with bad credit and juggling multiple jobs, some illegally, she’s been diligently working to buy the house she lives in with her mother and developmentally disabled brother Kenny. Portland’s housing prices have nearly quadrupled in fifteen years, and the owner is giving them a good deal. Lynette knows it’s their last best chance to own their own home—and obtain the security they’ve never had. While she has enough for the down payment, she needs her mother to cover the rest of the asking price. But a week before they’re set to sign the loan papers, her mother gets cold feet and reneges on her promise, pushing Lynette to her limits to find the money they need. 
  Set over two days and two nights, The Night Always Comes follows Lynette’s frantic search—an odyssey of hope and anguish that will bring her face to face with greedy rich men and ambitious hustlers, those benefiting and those left behind by a city in the throes of a transformative boom. As her desperation builds and her pleas for help go unanswered, Lynette makes a dangerous choice that sets her on a precarious, frenzied spiral. In trying to save her family’s future, she is plunged into the darkness of her past, and forced to confront the reality of her life. 
  A heart wrenching portrait of a woman hungry for security and a home in a rapidly changing city, The Night Always Comes raises the difficult questions we are often too afraid to ask ourselves: What is the price of gentrification, and how far are we really prepared to go to achieve the American Dream? Is the American dream even attainable for those living at the edges? Or for too many of us, is it only a hollow promise?
