  A captivating story of love and war. It's 1944 and Dianne Parker serves in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, working closely with the RAF bomber crews who risk their lives flying raids over Germany two or three times a week. Casualties are very high, and many of the planes don't return. The aircrews and WAAF's try to live a normal life - and avoid falling in love, because the future is so uncertain and promises only grief and disappointment. When Dianne meets Danny Young, a gunner who has thirty more missions to complete in a Lancaster bomber, it seems futile to Dianne that she should let their feelings grow. The odds of any love affair surviving the war are too small. Danny believes differently and is determined to have nothing standing between them. Not even Nazi Germany and the prospect of a violent death, or the risk of being shot down inside enemy territory. At The Going Down Of The Sun is the story of the extraordinary courage not only of the RAF bomber crews, but of the WAAF women who planned the raids, armed and serviced the aircraft, endured hardship, rationing and German bombing raids - and ultimately sent their friends and lovers to war in the night skies over Berlin.

  It's not a river, it's this river. 
   
   
   
  A hot, motionless afternoon. Enero and El Negro are fishing with Tilo, their dead friend's teenage son. After hours of struggling with a hooked stingray, Enero aims his revolver into the water and shoots it. They hang the ray's enormous corpse from a tree at their campsite and let it go to rot, drawing the attention of some local islanders and igniting a long-simmering fury toward outsiders and their carelessness. It's only the two sisters—the teenage nieces of one of the locals, Aguirre—with their hair black as cowbird feathers and giving off the scent of green grass, who are curious about the trio and invite them to a dance. But the girls are not quite as they seem. As night approaches and tensions rise, Enero and El Negro return to the charged memories of their friend who years ago drowned in this same river. 
   
   
   
  As uneasy and saturated as a prophetic dream, Not a River is another extraordinary novel by Selva Almada about masculinity, guilt, and irrepressible desire, written in a style that is spare and timeless.

  Set against the atmospheric snowy backdrop of the rural Pacific Northwest, New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti's edgy, gripping thriller will have listeners guessing until the very end. 
   
   
   
  Men are dying in the Pacific Northwest, their bodies found near churches, charities, and counseling centers—each with valentine candy hearts shoved down their throats. They're good men with families and community ties—or so they seem until FBI profiler Laurel Snow and her team begin to investigate. Then the case takes a shockingly personal turn when the father she's never met, a former pastor, turns up among the dead. 
   
   
   
  Now, besides solving her father's murder, Laurel is on the hunt to discover the truth of his past. Complicating things is Laurel's troubled half-sister, Abigail, a brilliant sociopath determined to prove that they've both inherited their father's malignant narcissism. 
   
   
   
  Assisting Laurel is Washington Fish and Wildlife Captain Huck Rivers, a dangerous loner whose reliance on gut instinct puts him at odds with Laurel's coolly analytic approach. But the choice may be moot when the killer hones in on Huck's own dark secrets—putting him and Laurel squarely in the crosshairs.

  In this darkly comic and surreal collection from celebrated author Alissa Nutting, misfit women scramble for agency in a series of uncanny circumstances. 
  Throughout these breathtakingly creative seventeen stories spread across time, space, and differing planes of reality, we encounter a host of women and girls in a wide range of unusual jobs. A space cargo deliverywoman enlists the help of her cybersex partner to release her mother from cryogenic prison.  Desperate for affection and a more lavish lifestyle, a young woman falls under the corrosive spell of the fashion model for whom she’s given up everything to assist. A woman submits to a procedure that will turn her body into a futuristic ant farm, only to discover the sinister plans of her doctor.  
  Though the settings these women find themselves in are as shocking and unique as they come, the emotional battles they face are searing and real. Some are trying to fight their way out of the cycle of abuse, while others must cope with the anguish brought on by infertility or the aftershocks of an abortion. Still others confront and embrace their most depraved desires, carving out power for themselves in worlds that relentlessly ask for conformity.  
  Wickedly funny yet ringing with deep truths about gender, authority and the ways we inhabit and restrict the female body, Unclean Jobs for Women and Girls is a brilliant commentary on the kaleidoscope of human behavior and a remarkably nuanced satire for our times.
