  In her fiction debut, Deborah Levison, author of the acclaimed, multi award-winning true crime book, THE CRATE, weaves a tale snatched from the headlines. A NEST OF SNAKES is loosely based on a spate of lawsuits in which adult men accused their elite private schools of abuses that shocked the nation. In A NEST OF SNAKES, Brendan Cortland is a broken man. Middle-aged, pasty, pudgy, and fearful, he suffers from chronic depression, nightmares, and agoraphobia. His contact with the outside world is limited to trolling chatrooms, where he hunts pedophiles, and a weekly session with his psychiatrist, to whom he describes dreams of being devoured by predators. The doctor suspects catastrophic abuse, and maybe something more; but in all his years of therapy Brendan never divulged the deepest source of his trauma. Pushed to his breaking point, Brendan embarks on a quest for justice. It’s the terrifying step he’s avoided for decades: going public with his story. His lawyer warns him that testifying might mean dredging up painful memories, ones he’d rather keep buried. Still, no one is prepared for the horrible secrets and revelations that emerge during the trial … least of all Brendan himself. Reviewers call A NEST OF SNAKES “heart wrenching,” “raw and compelling,” “unforgettable,” and “a roller-coaster ride of surprising twists” leading to a “staggering climax” and an “absolutely perfect” ending. Monster Librarian hails A NEST OF SNAKES as one of the fall’s most talked-about novels.

  In this latest installment of Alexander McCall Smith’s beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi take on an intriguing new case and uncover surprising truths. 
   
  In the rolling hills just outside Gaborone, surrounded by a grove of acacia trees, lies the Great Hippopotamus Hotel. With spacious rooms overlooking the Botswanan countryside and a fine and loyal staff, the hotel has served as a refuge to weary travelers for many years. But a sudden string of misfortunes threatens to ruin the hotel’s reputation. Food poisoning befalls an unlucky diner, laundry mysteriously disappears from the drying line, and a scorpion stings one of the guests. Mishap after mishap occurs, until it becomes apparent that these incidents are more than simple coincidences—something foul is afoot. 
   
  Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi are on the case to find out who could be responsible for these unfortunate events. Meanwhile, one of Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s most important clients has asked him to source a sports car, putting him in a ticklish position, as the man’s wife seems to be unaware of the purchase, and the client is taking great pains to keep it that way. 
   
  With a healthy dose of good humor and kindness, Mma Ramotswe and her associates must help restore the reputation of the hotel and prove that even the most difficult situations can be remedied with honesty and compassion.

  An illegal homeless camp, an unscrupulous criminal element, and a furious neighborhood— a recipe for tragedy. 
  Camp Faith squats in the path of the new freeway. The sprawling, makeshift encampment is unsightly and unsanitary, but its occupants have nowhere else to go. These are society’s castoffs, made up of the homeless, the addicted, and the mentally unstable. 
  Outreach groups are eager to help, but the local community wants the interlopers removed. Anger runs high on both sides of the issue, and the political pressure for a resolution is enormous. The sheriff and the governor join the partisan fray as the camp becomes a pawn in a larger game. 
  Now, a rash of nearby burglaries threatens to turn up the heat to unseen levels. Detectives with the Spokane Police Department must quickly find the culprits before tempers boil over. 
  When a prominent local business owner is murdered, can the cops keep a lid on everything? Or will the neighborhood explode in chaos? 
  The Path of Progress is the thirteenth book in the 509 Crime Stories, a series of novels set in Eastern Washington with revolving lead characters. If you like captivating police procedurals, grab this book today.

  🌀 Hand-spinner and fiber artist Spinny Beck is hosting her monthly spinning circle when the circle's most competitive member—a notorious fiber hoarder—is found dead in her studio, tangled in a massive pile of yarn spun from her own antique spinning wheel. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Spinny notices the wheel's drive band has been deliberately frayed and the victim's fiber stash contains rare breeds that don't match her purchase records. With her spinning circle shattered by suspicion and her studio temporarily closed, Spinny must draft her way through the investigation. Assisted by her loyal spinning friends and the handsome sheep farmer tracking missing rare breeds, Spinny uncovers a scheme involving stolen fleeces, counterfeit exotic fibers, and a black market for heritage breed wool. From suspicious twist angles that reveal multiple spinners to fiber preparations that don't match the victim's technique, every spun yard tells a story. But when Spinny discovers the victim was systematically acquiring—through questionable means—every rare fleece in the region to control the luxury fiber market, she realizes the killer is protecting a farming legacy more precious than any hand-spun yarn. With the annual fiber festival approaching and the real culprit still spinning lies, Spinny must ply together the truth before her own story gets permanently wound up.

  Does a police interview count as a meet cute? Asking for a friend... 
  FOSTER 
  It’s not quite protocol to start flirting right after you’ve flashed your badge at a guy. But I can’t resist Craig, the pet resort owner I’ve come to interview. I mean, look at him in his wet jeans and…is that dog hair all over his chest? 
  I’m dying to ask him out, but first I have to do a favor for my great aunt—okay, she bribed me—and go on a blind date with the grandson of her frenemy. 
  But guess who shows up to rescue me with an outrageous cover story and a rhinestone dog collar? 
  CRAIG 
  My last excuse for a relationship ended badly. Like, I-needed-two-years-of-therapy badly. But I can’t stop thinking about the hot cop who told me to call him if I had any questions. 
  Trust me, he meant those italics. 
  When I see an opportunity to save Foster in his hour of need, I decide to go hard or go home. And it pays off — big time. 
  But even if I’m ready to risk dating again, is Foster ready for the reputation my little stunt has given him? And when our lives (and bodies) start to get tangled, are either of us ready to let our hearts get involved? 
  One thing I know is neither of us are ready for the guy with a gun in my house... 
  Heart Me Up is a low-angst MM romance filled with meddling friends, hurt/comfort, game nights, suspense, one very uncomfortable couch, and the creative use of dog accessories... 
  This story takes place before the events in the rest of the Bent Oak, Texas series and can be read as a standalone.
