The cuckoo's calling / Robert Galbraith

New York : Mulholland books, 2013

Abstract: When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case. A war veteran, wounded both physically and psychologically, Strike's life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger ...A gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London - from the hushed streets of Mayfair, to the backstreet pubs of the East End, to the bustle of Soho - The Cuckoo's Calling is a remarkable debut. Introducing Cormoran Strike, it is a classic crime novel unlike any other book you will read this year.

Caravaggio time two / S. P. Somtow

Special ed.

Los Angeles ; Bangkok, 2013

Abstract: Caravaggio Times Two is a special edition chapbook produced for the World Premiere of Lux in Tenebris, a meditation about the life and works of the great 16th-Century painter, created by Jacopo Gianninoto and brought to life by an extraordinary team of dancers, actors and musicians. The chapbook pairs the cycle of poems composed by S.P. Somtow as the texts for the production with the novelette Chiaroscuro, written in 1991 as part of Somtow’s Vampire Junction sequence, which is published as an independent story for the first time. It was originally woven into the novel Valentine, the middle volume of the iconic trilogy often cited as the “precursor of splatterpunk.” The edition is illustrated throughout with Caravaggio’s paintings, chosen to create a continuous arc of the artist’s life

In the shadow of blackbirds : a novel / by Cat Winters

New York : Amulet books, 2013

Abstract: In 1918, the world seems on the verge of apocalypse. Americans roam the streets in gauze masks to ward off the deadly Spanish influenza and the government ships young men to the front lines, creating an atmosphere of fear and confusion. Sixteen-year-old Mary Shelley Black watches as desperate mourners flock to seances and spirit photographers for comfort, but Mary Shelley has never believed in ghosts. During her bleakest moment, however, she's forced to rethink her entire way of looking at life and death, for her first love--a boy who died in battle--returns. But what does he want from her? Featuring visually arresting archival photographs this is a tense, romantic narrative set in a tumultuous past that is eerily like our own time.
