William Morrow, $24.99

George Pelecanos signs THE WAY HOME

Little Brown, $24.99



If you have any interest in modern hardboiled crime fiction, you'll want to join us for this unique event. Lawrence Block is touring with his memoir, an exploration of his years as a recreational and competitive race-walker – did you know he was a race-walker? Well, he is, and his passion for walking has taken him all over the world, composing his books almost every step of the way.






THE WAY HOME is another gripping standalone from the creator of Nick Stefanos, Derek Strange, Terry Quinn and dozens of other memorable citizens of Washington, D.C. Christopher Flynn is on his last chance, after a misspent youth. He's working in his father's company, he's clean, he's dating a good woman – and he stumbles upon a temptation that is almost more than he can resist. He does resist it, but that decision sets a chain of events in motion, and it's going to be harder than he realizes to keep his life intact.
