Filled with poignancy, humor and eccentric revelations, The Delectable Mountains is a hilarious romp through the melodramatic tumult of growing up and falling in love.
Life seems to have little to offer Devin Donahue at the age of 23. Graduation thrust him out of college against his will, and the love of his life just left him to marry his older brother. With a broken heart and no direction to speak of, Devin pounces on his first opportunity to skip town―an invitation to help run a summer theater in Colorado with his high-school sweetheart. Upon arrival, Devin is shoved into a torrential melodrama of barroom brawls, outrageous love triangles and the worst performance of Hedda Gabler ever produced. He is sucked into the action by myriad batty characters, including a maniacal political dramatist, an emaciated director riddled with d.t.'s and a bipolar actor whose luck―and money―are about to run out. All the while Devin must fumble through his own awkward attempts at love―and somehow manage to come out on the other side.

Humor & Satire

In the sleepy town of Dingley Falls, Connecticut, something funny is going on. Strange forces are pulling together the oddest of couples: a mild-mannered matron and a lascivious avant-garde poet; a sleek headmaster and a shy young curate; a hippie librarian and the wayward daughter of a local tycoon. What's more, mailboxes are being stuffed with shockingly violent hate letters, even as a mysterious ailment takes the lives of perfectly healthy people. Not to mention the strange lights flashing in the depths of the forest... With a sparkling range of characters who hurtle through an intricate and often hilarious journey, Michael Malone offers a sublime joyride in his classic novel.

From the streets of New York to the gardens of Paris and the ornate drawing rooms of Renaissance Florence, Seizing Amber follows a high stakes quest for one of the world's most valuable treasures. The Amber Room-an exquisite chamber made of amber panels that was stolen from the Russians during World War II-holds not only its priceless value, but the key to the lives of those who seek it. Now in the post–Cold War present, Isaiah Hawkins, chief of a U.S. intelligence agency, discovers that the Amber Room is being offered for sale. In a quest to influence the world's political stage, Hawkins sets out on a mission to capture the Room and the power it holds. In a whirlwind of intrigue and suspense, Hawkins' team, including a street-smart blackmailer and a sexy but dangerous agent who seemingly has nothing to lose, must outsmart devious and exotic competitors to seize the Amber Room and find what matters to them most. Jonathan Harris weaves a tight and gripping plot with a grand love story. And just when the tension reaches a boiling point, Harris delivers an ending that drops the reader through a series of unexpected trap doors.

Thrillers & Suspense

Elizabeth Burns crafts a stunning debut novel, filled with luminous, wryly humorous and wrenchingly honest prose. As a successful young urbanite, Bridget Fox experiences the typical joys and struggles of youthful New Yorkers, and she has happy expectations for her new family. But when her daughter Maeve is diagnosed with autism, Bridget’s life as she knew it and her idealistic images of the perfect family are shattered. She tries to lean on her husband, her father, her best friend, but none can help her reconstruct her world as other tragic challenges begin to surface. But as she tries to choose between insanity and oblivion, Bridget discovers that matters are not nearly so simple-or so hopeless-as she once believed. Elizabeth Burns weaves the beauty and imagery of her poetic voice into a story of pain, humor, struggle and ultimate redemption. Bravely intimate, astonishing in its honesty, Tilt walks a path that most "normal" novels fear to tread as it follows the journey of a woman desperate enough to fall-and strong enough to survive. "An inspiring symbol of hope and endurance."-Dan Wakefield, author of New York in the 50s "This remarkable and poignantly particular first novel finds an ending, but its story will continue for as long as we, any of us, live and breathe."-Robert Creeley, author of Just In Time: Poems 19841994
