As Jess gets caught up in the case and falls back into an entanglement with her high school girlfriend, her understanding of the past, of Liz, of their mother, and of herself become more complicated—and the list of theories more ominous.Knife River is a tense, intimate, and heartrending portrayal of how deeply and imperfectly women love one another: in romantic relationships, in friendships, and especially as sisters.

Knife at My Back (The PI Steve Conacher Mysteries #3)
by Lawrence LariarPrivate detective Steve Conacher tails a runaway wife to a luxury Catskills resort for a weekend of fun, sun, and murder. When popular cartoonist Lawrence Lariar decided to moonlight as a mystery writer, creating comic book artist turned amateur sleuth Homer Bull was a natural. From the 1940s through the 1960s, Lariar continued to switch from sketching caricatures to sketchy characters, writing hardboiled crime fiction under his own name as well as the pseudonyms Michael Stark, Adam Knight, Michael Lawrence, and Marston La France, and creating a series of memorable gumshoes. Now his classic whodunits are available as ebooks. The Montford Hotel in the Catskills is a fabulous playground for the rich and beautiful—like Grace Lasker, the high-class Park Avenue knockout Conacher&’s been hired to eyeball at the behest of her jealous husband. But the simple skip trace turns to murder when Conacher finds the young lovely stabbed to death in her suite. That her body disappears is just the first distraction in the investigation. The others come fast and loose: a high voltage Broadway torch singer on a stopover to Hollywood; a sultry rhumba teacher who offers free lessons to the right man; and a high-diving swimming star with slippery limbs and a broad mind. They aren&’t the only ones with secrets. Grace had her share of them, too. As the motives for her murder mount, Conacher realizes that Grace won&’t be the last guest not to make it out of the Montford alive. Knife at My Back is the 3rd book in the PI Steve Conacher Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Knight's Gambit: The Restored Edition (Vintage International)
by William FaulknerFaulkner's six dectective stories feature attorney Gavin Stevens, a recurring character from Faulkner's novels, as he investigates violent crimes. This newly restored edition presents the stories the way Faulkner intended them. Originally published in 1949, Knight's Gambit is a collection of six stories written in the 1930s and 1940s that focus on the criminal investigations of Gavin Stevens, the county attorney of Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, where so many of his famous novels are set. These stories originally appeared in magazines, where editors made substantial changes to Faulkner's manuscripts before publishing them. Some of these changes seem to have been intended to make the stories conform to prevailing styles, some were made for concision or propriety, and some to remove the regional "Southernness" of Faulkner's tales. Scholar John N. Duvall uncovered edited typescripts that revealed the deletions and changes and allowed him to restore these six stories to their original Faulknerian glory.

Knights of the Range: A Western Story
by Zane GreyFrom the bestselling author of Riders of the Purple Sage, comes another classic Western tale.The sun set across the purple sky over the Don Carlos Rancho while the warm Santa Fe breeze rustled through the grazing fields just off the trail. The Colonel sat on his porch, staring over the whole scene, pondering the seemingly-doomed future of his prized cattle ranch. "Another spell with my heart like this last one will kill me,” he said nervously to his right-hand man, Britt.Afraid it would break her, the Colonel kept his condition from his alienated daughter, Holly-who was shipped off to boarding school in the East at the tender age of eight. The Colonel would settle for nothing less than the best education for his daughter. Not to mention, the West-crawling with outlaws, thieves, and greed-was no place for a naïve, young woman.However, in the wake of the Colonel’s death, Holly is forced to return and take the reins of her father’s beloved cattle empire. In the midst of hordes of outlaws ransacking the ranch and antagonizing their stock, the heiress must learn the ways of the West alongside the Captain Britt, in an attempt to salvage what’s left of her father’s dream.In the spirit and glory of a classic Western, and published exactly as the author originally intended, Knights of the Range, is one of Zane Grey’s swiftest and most exciting novels.Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction that takes place in the old West.
