  When DNA results reveal a disturbing connection to the mysterious disappearance of a famous baby nearly three decades ago, a woman’s search for answers draws her to an ominous small town in Nevada and a dangerous web of corruption, power, and lies in this engrossing, propulsive new novel from the internationally bestselling author of Twenty Years Later. 
   
  THIRTY YEARS AGO, BABY CHARLOTTE VANISHED. 
  TODAY, SHE WANTS ANSWERS. 
   
  On the first day of an elite two-year fellowship, Sloan Hastings receives a research assignment in the emerging field of forensic genealogy. It’s the exciting, rapidly evolving science behind the recent breaks in high-profile cold cases from the Golden State Killer to the Cameron Young murder, and Sloan enthusiastically begins by submitting her own DNA to an online genealogy site. Her goal is to better understand the treasure trove of genetic information contained on ancestry websites, but the results she receives are shocking. 
   
  Raised by loving parents, Sloan has always known she was adopted. But her DNA profile suggests her true identity is that of Charlotte Margolis, aka “Baby Charlotte,” who captured the nation’s attention when she and her affluent parents mysteriously vanished in July 1995. Despite a large-scale investigation and months of broad media coverage, there were never any suspects, and the case has been cold for decades. 
   
  Racing to stay ahead of the media and true crime junkies ravenous to know what really happened to Baby Charlotte, Sloan’s search for answers leads her to small-town Cedar Creek, Nevada. There, the Margolis family’s power and influence permeate every corner of the county, and while Sloan’s birth relatives are initially welcoming, they’re also mysterious and tight-lipped. Not everyone seems happy about Sloan’s return, or the questions she’s asking. 
   
  The more she learns, the more apparent it becomes that the answers Sloan seeks are buried in a graveyard of Margolis family secrets. And someone will do anything to keep them hidden... 
   
  Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

  To think, Adam used to love camping. 
  The black Dust fell for over a week. Adam Blake, a seasoned survival expert, was trapped in his first floor flat in a small suburb of southeast London--no food, no cell service, and no communication with the outside world. Then the dust stopped falling, 
  As the residents of Buckingham Avenue were left bewildered, there was no sign of help, no emergency services, no police. Just Adam and his confused neighbours. 
  The storm was just as sudden--violent, coming out of nowhere. It was as if the town was cursed. Then came the vines. 
  They overran every piece of grassland, park, wood, and forest. With the vines came small ape-like creatures. Now, surrounded by silent yet proficient killers, Adam may be the small neighbourhood's only hope of survival. He needs to escape the mysterious growth with the diverse and eccentric members of his community, desperate for answers. Then the true horror begins. 
  Can Adam lead his neighbors to safety in their new, strange, and hostile world?

  Gertrude Stein and Laura Riding enjoyed a fascinating if brief three-year friendship via correspondence between 1927 and 1930, and in A Description of Acquaintance, Logan Esdale and Jane Malcolm make the letters available to a larger audience for the first time. Riding and Stein are important figures in twentieth-century poetry and poetics and are considered progenitors of later movements such as L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry. The editors contextualize their relationship and its time period with an introduction and supplementary materials, including pieces by Stein and Riding that exemplify their singular perspectives on modernism as well as their personal poetics. The book provides unique insight into Stein's and Riding's writing processes as well as the larger literary world around them, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in twentieth-century poetry.

  Lane: Shaw and I have a unique kind of love. One that has found us inviting a third to join our bed from time to time. Our playmate is never meant to be anything more—fulfilling a purpose and leaving before sunrise the following day. 
   
   
   
  It had been the rule until Shaw went and confessed that he wants more. There's just one problem. I've been keeping a secret from the man I vowed to love forever. And it's the key to why we can never be a committed triad. 
   
   
   
  Shaw: Sex is more than an action; it's an intimate exchange between partners. And I can no longer continue to have meaningless sex with strangers that disappear in the morning light. 
   
   
   
  I never thought the man I love would be so opposed to sharing our life with another—until a stranger lands in our bar one night. 
   
   
   
  Keegan: I'm no stranger to denying myself the basic needs I want in life. It's how I ended up here, alone, on the cusp of my dream job. 
   
   
   
  My plans, goals, and ambitions fall apart before my very eyes, and it's then that two strangers find their way into my life. Professional football may not be ready for an out and proud coach, but I'm willing to take a chance on the two men who I vow will one day be mine. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
