  1950, New York. Viviana Valentine—Girl Friday turned partner to New York’s top investigator, Tommy Fortuna—is drawn into a sordid new case when Buster Beacon, a wealthy man of science, beckons them to a party at his mansion north of the city. There, Buster entertains blue-blooded friends as well as investors keen to make a dollar on the many advancements made in his home laboratory, but he’s been hearing strange noises in the night coming from his expansive estate, and he doesn’t know who to trust. Once Viviana and Tommy arrive, the party is snowed in. And suddenly, there is a dead body and nowhere to hide. Who killed the disguised federal agent in their midst? And how have details from the top-secret lab become public? Once chomping at the bit to be brought into this mysterious life, Viviana wonders if she’s ready for the risks that come with the territory—risks that rise treacherously high as the killer targets the next victim. Set in the gritty noir world of 1950s New York City, Emily J. Edwards’s Viviana Valentine Goes Up the River packs all the elements mystery fans love: an irresistibly clever protagonist, a posh cast of heroes and villains, and a murder case that could defy even the most seasoned investigator.

  Some connections can’t be caught on an MRI. 
  For the past few hours, their relationship was defined by cold stethoscopes, sterile rooms, and the rhythmic hum of diagnostic machinery. Dr. Lars is the city’s top radiologist—analytical, distant, and used to seeing people as a series of grayscale images. To him, Sara was just another file, a patient whose recovery he monitored with clinical detachment. 
  But when the final results come back clear, the professional veil drops. Without the chart between them, Sara is no longer a case study; she’s vibrant, sharp-witted, and far more observant than Lars expected. As they trade hospital coffee for midnight cocktails, Lars realizes that while he spent weeks scanning her heart for flaws, he completely missed how easily she could capture it. 
  In the world of medicine, everything is documented. But what happens between them after hours is strictly off the record.

  'This is how the language should be used . . . This is how a novel should be written' - Khushwant Singh

  'Ambitious, funny, poignant' - A.K. Ramanujan 
   
  'A moving book, written with humour, tenderness and an understated intensity' - India Today 
   
  As a young boy, Amitav Ghosh's narrator travels across time through the tales of those around him, traversing the unreliable planes of memory, unmindful of physical, political and chronological borders. But as he grows older, he is haunted by a seemingly random act of violence. Bits and pieces of stories, both half-remembered and imagined, come together in his mind until he arrives at an intricate, interconnected picture of the world where borders and boundaries mean nothing, mere shadow lines that we draw dividing people and nations. 
  Out of a complex web of memories, relationships and images, Amitav Ghosh builds an intensely vivid, funny and moving story. Exposing the idea of the nation state as an illusion, an arbitrary dissection of people, Ghosh depicts the absurd manner in which your home can suddenly become your enemy.
