The first Grant County novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author, Karin Slaughter, introducing Sara Linton of the acclaimed Will Trent Series.

"A bull's-eye, deftly crafted. . . . Slaughter's plotting is brilliant, her suspense relentless." --Washington Post

A small Georgia town erupts in panic when a young college professor is found brutally mutilated in the local diner. But it's only when town pediatrician and coroner Sara Linton does the autopsy that the full extent of the killer's twisted work becomes clear.

Sara's ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, leads the investigation--a trail of terror that grows increasingly macabre when another local woman is found crucified a few days later. But he's got more than a sadistic serial killer on his hands, because the county's only female detective, Lena Adams--the first victim's sister--wants to serve her own justice.

But it is Sara who holds the key to finding the killer. A secret from her past could unmask the brilliantly malevolent psychopath... or mean her death.

Saving Grace is a deeply moving and candid memoir that chronicles the emotional journey of a mother, Aimee Eberle, as she navigates her daughter Grace's battle with anorexia. Written in alternating voices, this powerful narrative offers a raw and honest look at the mental and physical toll of an eating disorder, the relentless fight for recovery, and the profound love and strength that binds family during the most challenging times.

Grace's story, told through her personal diary entries, reveals the turmoil and confusion of living with anorexia, while Aimee's perspective offers a heart-wrenching glimpse into the emotional rollercoaster of being a parent of a child suffering from this disease. Together, they provide a unique, dual perspective that highlights the deep personal struggles and the unwavering determination to overcome this life-threatening illness.

This memoir is not just a story of survival but a call for awareness, understanding, and support for those affected by eating disorders. Aimee's and Grace's journey is one of hope, resilience, and the undeniable power of love. Through their story, they remind us that, despite the darkest of days, recovery is possible-and that the road to healing is not one walked alone.

For readers who seek to understand the challenges of anorexia, Saving Grace offers hope, insight, and an invitation to break the silence surrounding eating disorders.

Namaslay all day.

Yoga retreats are supposed to have bodies...just not dead ones. But when Eleanor, the owner of the retreat, turns up dead, Ronald and Gertie know just who to call. Eleanor's sister, Mildred, is convinced Eleanor's shady business partner had something to do with her death, but there's no evidence to prove it.

To add more limitations to the mix, Carter is being audited by the state police due to complaints concerning his conduct, with specific claims that he's feeding Fortune confidential information. Swamp Team 3 fully intend to help Mildred find out what happened to her sister, but they'll have to fly below radar to avoid risking Carter's position as sheriff.

How far can they bend?

Based on the diary of a real-life actor, Susumu's dilemma becomes a uniquely powerful tale of teenage angst and survival.This novel, translated into English for the first time, explores the self-destructive dynamics that are a hallmark of Dazai's fiction, but from a different viewpoint--that of a bright eyed teenager.

The bold, contemporary translation by Michael Day delivers an unforgettable new protagonist for Dazai's many fans.

Hailed as a "modern masterpiece" by The A.V. Club, this new pocket-sized edition (6×9 inches) tells a sprawling tale of magic and family, legacy and grief, good and evil.

Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (The Fireman, Heart-Shaped Box) has created a gripping story of dark fantasy and wonder--with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez--that, like the doors of Keyhouse, will transform all who open it. The epic begins here! This new edition includes Welcome to Lovecraft and Head Games.

Following their father's gruesome murder in a violent home invasion, the Locke children return to his childhood home of Keyhouse in secluded Lovecraft, Massachusetts. Their mother, Nina, is too trapped in her grief--and a wine bottle--to notice that all in Keyhouse is not what it seems: too many locked doors, too many unanswered questions.

The IDW Classic Collections will collect the six-volume series into three convenient, pocket-sized editions. The second volume will include Crown of Shadows and Keys to the Kingdom; the third volume will include Clockworks and Alpha & Omega.

Twenty pivotal moments in anime filmmaking--and the untold drama behind them. From secret production battles to box-office triumphs, Japan's Anime Revolution reveals how each landmark film transformed Japanese animation

Anime expert Jonathan Clements presents gamechanging moments in Japanese film history, from Japan's first black-and-white animated feature to modern blockbusters which have redefined the art form. From box-office hits to career-threatening flops, each of these case studies has changed the anime world in its own unique way, influencing developments in content, production methods, or distribution, capturing all the vibrancy and diversity of this world-beating medium.

This illuminating book describes the twenty most notable films in anime history, including:

• Momotaro: Released at the end of World War II, this was Japan's first feature-length anime
• My Neighbor Totoro: Miyazaki's iconic work, consciously created as an alternative to formulaic animated films with no conflict or antagonist
• Ghost in the Shell: The influential sci-fi feature that inspired The Matrix
• Spirited Away: The first Oscar-winning anime and highest-grossing Japanese film of all time!
• A Silent Voice: Adapted from a popular manga, an essential entry from a woman director
• Plus 14 other landmark films!

Clements reveals behind-the-scenes decisions that changed the course of Japanese animation. Which movie was finished by a staff of out-of-work waitresses? Which animator hated his work so much that he threatened to shave off his own eyebrows? How did a maverick producer enlist fans to drive his movie to box-office gold? Which director learned his trade by watching The Bad News Bears ten times?

Illustrated with full-color images, this fascinating book is a must-read for every devoted anime fan!

Have you ever wondered how grandmasters can see what's really going on in a chess position in just seconds? It's all about structures, as grandmaster and top coach Ivan Sokolov explains in his groundbreaking book, Winning Chess Middlegames. This classic chess manual has been updated with more than half of the games replaced by modern examples. Sokolov addresses the often-ignored yet extremely important topic of pawn structures. There are four main types: doubled pawns, isolated pawns, hanging pawns, and pawn majorities. With its highly accessible explanations and in-depth analyses of top-level games, this book helps you solve basic middlegame problems involving space, tension, and initiative. Club players who study this book will greatly enhance their middlegame skills, develop an accurate sense of which positions suit their style, and acquire new strategic and practical opening knowledge. Sokolov explains matters profoundly, honestly, and objectively, including lots of inside stories from top-level chess.
