All That Followed: A Novel
by Gabriel Urza"A bold, stunning book...The reader is drawn in not because we want to find out what happened, but why it happened..."--NPRA psychologically twisting novel about a politically-charged act of violence that echoes through a small Spanish town; a debut novel that the New York Times Book Review calls "a triumph."It's 2004 in Muriga, a quiet town in Spain's northern Basque Country, a place with more secrets than inhabitants. Five years have passed since the kidnapping and murder of a young local politician-a family man and father-and the town's rhythms have almost returned to normal. But in the aftermath of the Atocha train bombings in Madrid, an act of terrorism that rocked a nation and a world, the townspeople want a reckoning of Muriga's own troubled past: Everyone knows who pulled the trigger five years ago, but is the young man now behind bars the only one to blame? All That Followed peels away the layers of a crime complicated by history, love, and betrayal. The accounts of three townspeople in particular-the councilman's beautiful young widow, the teenage radical now in jail for the crime, and an aging American teacher hiding a traumatic past of his own-hold the key to what really happened. And for these three, it's finally time to confront what they can find of the truth.Inspired by a true story, All That Followed is a powerful, multifaceted novel about a nefarious kind of violence that can take hold when we least expect. Urgent, elegant, and gorgeously atmospheric, Urza's debut is a book for the world we live in now, and it marks the arrival of a brilliant new writer to watch.

The lives of two mothers and two daughters-all strikingly independent and spirited-hang in the balance. Set in Texas and the suburbs of England,All That Followsis a novel in which tender, unheroic moments triumph over the more strident and aggressive facets of our age.

Just arrived from New York, Broadway actress Laura Wilson is slated to star in Hollywood's newest screwball comedy. At her side, of course, is Jake Donovan, under pressure to write his next mystery novel. But peace and quiet are not to be had when an all-too-real murder plot intrudes: After a glitzy party, the son of a studio honcho is discovered dead from a gunshot wound. And since Jake exchanged words with the hothead just hours before his death, the bestselling author becomes the LAPD's prime suspect. In 1930s Tinseltown, anything goes. Proving his innocence won't be easy in a town where sex, seduction, and naked power run rampant. With gossip columnist Louella Parsons dead-set on publicizing the charges against him, Jake has no choice but to do what everyone else does in the City of Angels: act like someone else. Blackie Doyle, the tough-talking, fist-swinging, womanizing hero from Jake's novels wouldn't pull any punches until he exposed the real killer--nor will Jake, to keep the role of a lifetime from being his last.Praise for All That Glitters "Jake and Laura really do remind me of Dashiell Hammett's Nick and Nora Charles. They are fun, witty, and charming, and the novel is filled with the same kind of 1930s Hollywood glamour that made the film of The Thin Man such a classic."--Popcorn Reads "Art imitates life imitates art imitates life, with just as terrific results as the first book in this series, The Yankee Club."--Reading Reality "Michael Murphy has pulled off another successful novel with interesting characters, a riveting story, and a great setting that transports us back to Prohibition-era Hollywood."--The Book Binder's Daughter "Murphy has a good thing going with this great new historical mystery series. . . .

Mystery lovers, noir fans and lovers of classic movies will really go for this book."--The Reader's Hollow "I couldn't put this book down. It grabbed me right from the start and I was quickly invested in the characters and their lives. . . . A great read and wonderfully fun characters."--Mystery Playground "You know how it is when you have the perfect cup? The aroma is great, the perfect balance in taste, it's hot enough to warm your soul, but not too hot to burn your tongue, and the mug fits perfectly in your hands. All the senses are engaged and you forget the world around you. That is this book to a mystery reader- it has the impeccable balance."--Lilac Reviews
