  Brand-new lawyer Michael O'Brien has no clue the case his law firm handed him is a total loser. That's because he would rather chase women, play basketball, or do almost anything other than practice law. O'Brien is struggling with the drudgery first-year associates face, especially since it's the swinging '70s in San Francisco. 
  He's just too good-looking, easily bored, and cocky to care. But when Malcolm Knox, one of the city's wealthiest men, drops dead, the young man from Boston is suddenly charged with finding $50 million in bearer bonds missing from the estate. 
  Given his myriad distractions-he's wooing a former fashion model who owns a small bakery chain-O'Brien seems destined to fail. As missteps accumulate, and practicing law becomes dangerous O'Brien risks losing his job, his girlfriend, and even his life.

  Igor Štiks’s fourth novel, mysteriously titled with only one letter, W, is his most elaborate so far — and definitely his most exciting — a feat of storytelling in which historic tragedies are woven through with humor and erotic passion. It is both a murder mystery — in which nothing is as it seems and where we don’t learn the truth until the very last page — and a reflection on a century of revolutionary struggles. In it, Štiks asks some of the crucial questions of our era: What are the lessons of past heroic struggles for a world of equality and freedom that were then followed by tremendous disappointments and tragic failures? And what can we do today in the face of contemporary planetary horrors? The novel vividly brings to life the turbulent years of the 1960s through the early 2000s with all their contradictions, disasters and hopes.“Igor Štiks’s novel W is at once a thriller and a philosophical discussion that deals with the European left from the second half of the 20th century. Štiks talks about abandoned ideas that might be important today. This book was written by a great prose stylist and philosopheractivist who irresistibly resembles the young John Berger and who asks the question — how to change the world? An important novel.” – Semezdin Mehmedinović, author of Sarajevo Blues and My HeartIgor Štiks is the author of A Castle in Romagna andThe Judgment of Richard Richter (originally published as Elijah’s Chair), which have been translated into 15 languages. He has won many prizes for his fiction and plays and was named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture. He is also the author of Nations and Citizens in Yugoslavia and the Post-Yugoslav States: One Hundred Years of Citizenship (Bloomsbury, 2015). His essays and commentaries have appeared in The Guardian, Al Jazeera, Open Democracy and ROAR Magazine.

  📿 Bead shop owner and jewelry artist Gemma Beadle is preparing for the annual Jewelry Arts Festival when the festival's head judge—a notoriously harsh critic of beadwork—is found dead in her shop, a rare vintage bead mysteriously lodged in her throat. The police suspect a freak accident, but Gemma notices the bead doesn't match her inventory and the victim's critique notes contain patterns that form a hidden message in beadwork code. With her bead business temporarily closed and the jewelry community buzzing with suspicion, Gemma must string together the clues to clear her name. Assisted by her beading circle and the handsome gemologist analyzing mineral compositions, Gemma uncovers a scheme involving counterfeit beads, stolen cultural artifacts, and a black market for rare semiprecious stones. From suspicious drill holes that reveal modern tooling to glass compositions that don't match the stated era, every bead tells a story. But when Gemma discovers the victim was systematically devaluing authentic cultural beadwork to acquire it cheaply for resale, she realizes the killer is protecting an artistic heritage more precious than any gemstone. With the festival approaching and the real culprit still stringing lies, Gemma must thread the needle of truth before her own reputation gets permanently tarnished.
