Princess Charming (Large Print Ser.)

by Jane Heller

Three divorced friends—and one killer—set out to sea in the New York Times–bestselling author&’s hilarious and &“unforgettable&” cruise-ship murder mystery (Booklist). Three best friends are on a Caribbean cruise for their latest vacation together. But the trip could be their last—unless they sort out which of the passengers is Mr. Right and which is the hit man hired by one of their ex-husbands . . . Feisty, fast-talking PR executive Elaine Zimmerman needs some persuading by her pals Jackie and Pat to climb aboard the luxury liner—and once she does, her luggage is misplaced and she&’s forced to resort to the ship boutique&’s tacky version of cruisewear. But Elaine cheers up once she finds herself seated next to Sam Peck. This couldn&’t be love at first sight (because she doesn&’t believe in love at first sight), or even lust at first sight (because she&’s the least lusty person on the planet), but whatever it is, she can&’t resist it. She&’s on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, and it wouldn&’t kill her to fall in love . . . or would it? A glimmer of doubt becomes full-fledged suspicion when Elaine inadvertently learns that somebody&’s ex-wife has been marked for murder—and the hired hit man is already on board. Now the ladies have to figure out whose ex is out to deep-six whom . . . From the author of Three Blonde Mice, Princess Charming is a fun-filled mystery and a buoyant tale of friendship and true love—even if the glass slipper is several sizes too small and the prince arrives about ten years late. &“Sure to be a big hit with her faithful following.&” —Kirkus Reviews

Prison Noir (Akashic Noir)

by Joyce Carol Oates

"A remarkable anthology of stories written by inmates of correctional institutions across America...Most importantly, this landmark volume amplifies the voices of the incarcerated."--Publishers Weekly, Starred reviewIncluded in Publishers Weekly's Fall Preview (Mysteries & Thrillers)"Affecting, powerfully written and arresting literature. Well worth seeking out."--BRSBKBLOGAkashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched with the summer '04 award-winning best seller Brooklyn Noir. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective geographic range of the book. This anthology, with stories set in different prisons across the US, presents an absolutely new perspective on prison literature.From the introduction by Joyce Carol Oates:"The blood jet is poetry--these words of Sylvia Plath have reverberated through my experience of reading and rereading the stories of Prison Noir. In this case the blood jet is prose, though sometimes poetic prose; if we go a little deeper, in some chilling instances, the blood jet is exactly that: blood. For these stories are not "literary" exercises--though some are exceptionally well-written by any formalist standards, and artfully structured as narratives; with a single exception the stories are stark, somber, emotionally driven cris de coeur...We may feel revulsion for some of the acts described in these stories, but we are likely to feel a startled, even stunned sympathy for the perpetrators. And in several stories, including even murderers' confessions, we are likely to feel a profound and unsettling identification...There is no need for fantasy-horror in a place in which matter-of-fact horror is the norm, and mental illness is epidemic. Vividly rendered realism is the predominant literary strategy, as in a riveting documentary film."Featuring brand-new stories by: Christopher M. Stephen, Sin Soracco, Scott Gutches, Eric Boyd, Ali F. Sareini, Stephen Geez, B.M. Dolarman, Zeke Caligiuri, Marco Verdoni, Kenneth R. Brydon, Linda Michelle Marquardt, Andre White, Timothy Pauley, Bryan K. Palmer, and William Van Poyck.
