Blurb of the new novel by Chris Nic Stone

Nic Stone’s adult thriller debut about two missing erotic dancers from Atlanta’s most notorious gentlemen’s club and the woman committed to finding them.

When Damaris “Charm” Wilburn, a new daytime dancer, is missing for her shift at Boom Town, former headliner Michah “Lyriq” Johanssen suspects something more than a “no call, no show.” As Lyriq’s former headline partner and lover—Felice “Lucky” Carothers—also vanished under similar circumstances, Lyriq decides she’s going to find them.

Delving deeper into Charm and Lucky’s disappearances, Lyriq uncovers a tangled web of deceit, privilege, and power. The line between friend and foe blurs, forcing Lyriq to confront the question: Is finding for these women worth the threat to her own life?

This tantalizing thriller will take you on a heart-pounding and page turning journey through the peaks and valleys of Atlanta’s underworld.

Nic Stone born July 10, 1985 in Atlanta, Georgia, is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin. A Spelman College graduate, Nic lives in Atlanta with her family. Boom Town is her first adult novel.

Thomas Pynchon – Shadow Ticket

Thomas Pynchon Shadow Ticket review, recensie en informatie over de inhoud van de roman van de Amerikaanse schrijver. Op 7 oktober 2025 verschijnt bij Jonathan Cape de nieuwe roman van Thomas Pynchon de schrijver uit de Verenigde Staten. Er is geen Nederlandse vertaling van het boek verkrijgbaar.

Thomas Pynchon Shadow Ticket review en recensie

  • “Pynchon’s gift has always been his ability to render America in its full strangeness … The book is full of exuberance. Pynchon’s sentences themselves are so alive, so pleasurable … The fact that Shadow Ticket is brilliant and prescient isn’t a surprise; that it exudes so much joy and sensuousness is.” (Megan Nolan, Daily Telegraph)
  • “Brilliant fun … Rollicking … Pynchon’s prose is still as balletically dazzling as the trick shot Lew teaches Hicks… It’s not just that no one else writes quite like Pynchon; it’s that no one even tries.” (The Washington Post)
  • “Pynchon’s livewire prose hops from subject to subject, joins the dots and makes patterns … The novel sets out with a song in its heart and mischievous spring in its step, but it edges into darkness.” (Guardian)
  • “A 1930s detective tale with a sucker punch ending . . . Dark as a vampire’s pocket, light-fingered as a jewel thief, Shadow Ticket capers across the page with breezy, baggy-pants assurance – and then pauses on its way down the fire escape just long enough to crack your heart open.” (Los Angeles Times)

Flaptekst van de nieuwe roman van Thomas Pynchon

A private eye is catapulted on to a continent-hopping journey that proves difficult to escape – from the bestselling, award-winning American author Thomas Pynchon.

Milwaukee 1932, the Great Depression going full blast, repeal of Prohibition just around the corner, Al Capone in the federal pen, the private investigation business shifting from labour-management relations to the more domestic kind. Hicks McTaggart, a onetime strikebreaker turned private eye, thinks he’s found job security until he gets sent out on what should be a routine case, locating and bringing back the heiress of a Wisconsin cheese fortune who’s taken a mind to go wandering. Before he knows it, he’s been shanghaied onto a transoceanic liner, ending up eventually in Hungary where there’s no shoreline, a language from some other planet, and enough pastry to see any cop well into retirement – and of course no sign of the runaway heiress he’s supposed to be chasing.

By the time Hicks catches up with her he will find himself also entangled with Nazis, Soviet agents, British counterspies, swing musicians, practitioners of the paranormal, outlaw motorcyclists, and the troubles that come with each of them, none of which Hicks is qualified, forget about being paid, to deal with.

Surrounded by history he has no grasp on and can’t see his way around in or out of, the only bright side for Hicks is it’s the dawn of the Big Band Era and as it happens he’s a pretty good dancer. Whether this will be enough to allow him somehow to Lindy-hop his way back again to Milwaukee and the normal world, which may no longer exist, is another question.

Thomas Pynchon is born on 8 May 1937 in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York. Pynchon is often noted for his complex works of postmodern fiction, which are often characterized by dense Vineland Thomas Pynchon novel from 1990 first editionreferences to history, popular culture, literature, music, science, and mathematics, as well as by humor and explorations of paranoia. He is the author of the novels V., The Crying of Lot 49, Gravity’s Rainbow, Vineland, Mason & Dixon, Against the Day, Inherent Vice and Bleeding Edge. Also he wrote Slow Learner, a collection of short stories, published in 1984. He received the National Book Award for Gravity’s Rainbow in 1974.

Flaptekst van de Capri-thriller van Katy Hays

Ook een zonnig eiland in Italië kan duistere geheimen verbergen.

Dertig jaar geleden werd Sarah Lingate dood aangetroffen in de zee bij Capri. Ondanks vermoedens dat haar man en zijn zeer rijke familie er iets mee te maken hadden, werd er geconcludeerd dat het om een tragisch ongeluk ging. In de decennia die volgden weerhielden de roddels en nare herinneringen de Lingates er niet van om iedere zomer vakantie te vieren op het prachtige eiland. Maar nu treffen ze bij aankomst in hun vaste vakantievilla een verontrustende verrassing aan: de ketting die Sarah droeg op de avond dat ze stierf.

Terwijl lang verborgen geheimen naar boven komen, wordt de loyaliteit van de familie tot het uiterste getest en al snel wordt één ding duidelijk: niet iedereen zal het eiland levend verlaten.

Katy Hays is een Californische schrijfster en docent kunstgeschiedenis. Ze woont aan de voet van de Sierra Nevada met haar man en hun hond, Queso. Haar boeken verschijnen in 13 landen en alleen al van de Engelse edities werden ruim 200.000 exemplaren verkocht. Naast haar werk als schrijver werkt Katy als universitair docent kunstgeschiedenis en geeft ze les aan studenten uit plattelandsgebieden, van Truckee tot Tecopa. Ze heeft een masterdiploma kunstgeschiedenis van Williams College en promoveerde in de kunstgeschiedenis aan UC Berkeley. Haar academische werk is uitgegeven door Ashgate, een imprint van Routledge.

C. William Langsfeld Salvation review

  • “Langsfeld’s writing hits like a brushfire: sparks that seem harmless quickly burn you alive. It is searing and direct and quite possibly a perfect voice for our world.” (Dane Bahr, author of Stag)
  • “In Langsfeld’s debut, we find a gut-punch of a novel that explores exactly what the title presents: salvation. In a complicated and dark world, redemption is forged by carving our own path, seeking our own justice. With a voice all its own, this novel is gracefully written and also extraordinarily riveting. One of those books you can’t put down—and you’re a bit sad when it ends.” (Laura Pritchett, author of Stars Go Blue)

Blurb of the new book by C. William Langsfeld

This emotionally charged Western noir explores a small rural Colorado town in a state of crisis at the height of winter. Tom Horak has just murdered his best friend, Rust Hawkins. Morris Green, the town’s Lutheran pastor, is experiencing a profound crisis of faith, questioning the very existence of God. And Marshal Thomlison, the local peace officer looking forward to retirement, is now thrown into the middle of a murder investigation.

Following his violent act, Tom retreats to a cabin in the hills, remembering the events of his hardscrabble childhood—a rural upbringing on a ranch with a distant mother and abusive father.

Rust Hawkins’s son is taken in by Pastor Green, since the boy has nowhere else to go. Thomlison’s murder investigation acts as a kind of Greek chorus commenting on the various threads of this moving novel: What could cause a man to commit such a violent act? What does this isolated community owe to one another? Can Tom find the peace he is searching for, even with blood on his hands? Can Pastor Green discover enough faith in our human condition to help Rust’s orphaned son, and can their growing bond perhaps offer the family life that each is sorely lacking?

Salvation is a stunning debut novel that tackles big themes with moving prose and a propulsive plot set against the grand and sometimes foreboding natural beauty of the Rocky Mountain West.

C. William Langsfeld lives in a small town on Colorado’s Western Slope.

Blurb of the new book by Dennis E. Staples

A darkly humorous thriller about the ghosts that haunt the temples of excess we call casinos, and the people caught in their high-stakes, low-odds web.

For decades, a dark force has terrorized the Languille Lake reservation. Spoken of only in whispers as “the sandman,” he lurks in the Hidden Atlantis Lake Resort and Casino, the reservation’s main attraction and source of revenue, leeching its patrons’ dreams and preventing the ghosts that linger there from moving on. Fleeing a breakup, Marion Lafournier, a midtwenties Ojibwe, seeks solace in the slot machine’s siren song. Here he falls afoul of the sandman, an encounter he barely escapes through the timely intervention of his cousins Alana and Cherie, who both work at the casino and are intimately aware of the sandman’s power. Meanwhile, Glenn Nielan, recently out of the closet and an aspiring documentarian, hopes to capture the faces of the Ojibwe land while experiencing the casino’s thrills. But he will learn that all who choose to play the sandman’s games are in danger of falling into his grasp.

Marion and Alana are members of the Bullhead clan, a family with ties to a sacred past and a fierce determination to ensure their future. Alana, with her sevenfire sight, is the only person to fully understand the danger the sandman poses. Aware of Marion’s occasional ability to navigate the spirit world, she enlists his aid in defeating this wraith. But the power and reach of the sandman go far beyond Alana’s worst fears. Soon she and Marion find themselves in a battle for their lives and for the souls of the reservation’s residents, both the living and the dead.

Er is geen Nederlandse vertaling van de misdaadroman verkrijgbaar.

Dennis E. Staples is an Ojibwe writer from Bemidji, Minnesota, and the author of This Town Sleeps. He holds an MFA in fiction from the Institute of American Indian Arts and is a graduate of the 2018 Clarion West Writers Workshop and a recipient of the Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholarship.

Between organizing a joint session with her friends at Bull Run Hunt, leading her own Jefferson Hunt Club’s fox hunting season, and looking after her beloved hounds and horses, “Sister” Jane Arnold is as busy as can be. She and her friend Tootie Harris are helping to lure home hunt club member Cindy Chandler’s two escaped cows, Clytemnestra and Orestes, when they discover an expensive watch carelessly abandoned on an overgrown path. The last thing Sister needs is another mystery to solve, but when one falls into her lap, she can’t help but get involved.

Days later, a young man is murdered, one with seemingly no connection to the pricey jewelry or a life of crime. His mother is distraught, and Sister vows to find the murderer. But when hounds on the hunt discover a truck covered in blood – with no body in sight – she quickly realizes she’s in over her head with a cunning and clever adversary. Can she find the link and stop the murderer before they strike again? Only time will tell.

Flaptekst van de nieuwe Robert Langdon thriller van Dan Brown

De nieuwe thriller van de wereldwijde bestsellerauteur Dan Brown. Zijn meest ingenieuze thriller tot nu toe een razendsnel en uitdagend meesterwerk met Robert Langdon in de hoofdrol.

Robert Langdon is terug en reist in Het ultieme geheim, de nieuwe, meeslepende thriller van De Da Vinci Code-auteur Dan Brown, naar Praag voor een lezing van zijn vriendin Katherine Solomon, maar hun verblijf ontaardt in chaos door een brute moord.

Praag. De gevierde hoogleraar kunstgeschiedenis en symboliek Robert Langdon woont een baanbrekende lezing bij van Katherine Solomon, een prominent wetenschapper met wie hij sinds kort een relatie heeft. Katherine staat op het punt een explosief boek te presenteren waarvan de inhoud wereldschokkende ontdekkingen bevat omtrent het menselijk bewustzijn; ontdekkingen die eeuwenlang gevestigde opvattingen en geloofsovertuigingen onderuit zullen halen. Door een brute moord ontaardt het verblijf van de twee wetenschappers in een complete chaos die culmineert in de verdwijning van Katherine én haar manuscript.

Robert Langdon ontdekt dat hij wordt bedreigd door een machtige organisatie en wordt achternagezeten door een ijzingwekkende tegenstander, ontstaan uit een eeuwenoude Praagse legende.

Terwijl het plot zich uitbreidt naar Londen en New York, blijft Langdon wanhopig op zoek naar Katherine… en naar antwoorden. In een zinderende race door de werelden van zowel de futuristische wetenschap als die van de mystiek, eeuwenoude mythen en volksoverleveringen, ontdekt Langdon de schokkende waarheid over een geheim project dat ons denken over het menselijk bewustzijn voorgoed zal veranderen.

Dan Brown is geboren op 22 juni 1964 in Exeter, New Hampshire in de Verenigde Staten. Hij de wereldwijde bestsellerauteur van onder meer de thrillers De Da Vinci Code, Het Bernini Mysterie, Het Verloren Symbool, Inferno en Oorsprong. Tot hij besloot zich volledig op het schrijven te richten, doceerde Dan Brown Engels aan de Phillips Exeter Academy. Als zoon van een prijswinnend wiskundige en een moeder die religieuze muziek speelde, werd Dan Brown in zijn jeugd omringd door de tegengestelde ideeën van wetenschap en geloof. Deze tegenstellingen vormden al de inspiratiebron voor Het Bernini Mysterie, het eerste boek met professor Robert Langdon in de hoofdrol. In 2020 verscheen er een prentenboek van zijn hand, Het wilde dierenorkest. Brown componeerde zelf de muziek voor de bijbehorende muziekapp. Het ultieme geheim is Dan Browns nieuwste thriller met Robert Langdon in de hoofdrol.
