THE OFF SEASON by Peter Clines
9781250455888 | 4/20/27

Ben Getty is an LA cop banished to rural Maine, and now finds himself patrolling the streets and forest roads of Little Enoch. It’s an unremarkable town with a small summer tourist trade and a camp across the lake. For Ben, it’s his last chance.

However, there’s something that Ben’s new employers didn’t mention. The summer camp and its surrounding forest are the hunting grounds of a serial killer that has stalked the woods for decades, leaving a trail of bodies that stretches back to the first camp massacre fifty years ago. Only by following an ironclad list of rules that everyone in town already seems to know are the townsfolk kept safe . . . mostly.

But as the killings increase, Ben must choose between keeping the job he loves and discovering what really happened that night half a century ago. Between obeying orders and learning the dark secret behind the masked killer. Between protecting unsuspecting visitors from an inhuman monster and maybe becoming the latest victim himself. And perhaps most importantly . . . learning why everybody in town seems okay with it.

MORALLY BANKRUPT: Greed, Lust, and the Scandal That Shook Big Law by Alexander Gladstone and Andrew Scurria

9781250443960 | 4/20/27

Most Americans think of bankruptcy as a demise to be avoided at all costs, but major cases can be a golden opportunity for high-powered lawyers and their clients on Wall Street. Steering a distressed company there can allow a firm to engineer big paydays for corporate executives and financiers in deals that often leave their adversaries with pennies on the dollar.

Over the past decade, white-shoe law firms flocked to the Houston court of Judge David R. Jones, the nation’s most powerful and influential bankruptcy judge, where he and his colleagues presided over the restructuring of major American businesses including JCPenney, Neiman Marcus, Chesapeake Energy, Men’s Wearhouse, Chuck E. Cheese, and Regal Cinemas. Judge Jones quickly became known for ruling in favor of the corporate debtors those lawyers represented and the well-positioned private equity firms and hedge funds they struck deals with. Those with elite representation seemed to have the inside track—they kept getting what they wanted while smaller investors, unpaid vendors, and retirees were often told that the pie just wasn’t big enough for them to get the piece they were owed.

One of those outsiders to Jones’s court discovered that the judge, who often preached about the “integrity of the process,” was harboring a personal secret that threatened to undermine faith in the federal judiciary. He teamed up with a crew of other people who felt they were wronged, making a stand against the Houston machine that would pit them against some of the world’s most powerful law firms and a justice system that had become twisted to benefit the connected few, with ramifications for all Americans.

VITAL SIGNS by B. L. Thota

9781250443328 | 5/11/27

Studious, straitlaced Ruhi Akula is off to spend the summer at a national science competition. There, she meets Devon Dalton, the hotshot scion of medical royalty. In the balmy nights that follow, as the two continually challenge each other over first rank, something life changing unfolds . . .

Until the next summer, when it all blows apart.

Five years later, Ruhi has one goal in mind—blaze through med school and change the face of medicine. Ever since her best friend’s cancer diagnosis, she’s not going to let anything derail her. But on day one, she walks straight into Devon Dalton once more. As their carefully set boundaries begin to dissolve, they must come to grips with what broke between them, even if it means revealing devastating truths.

They say you can’t outrun your past, and Ruhi has too much on the line not to try. But as the most startling and charged events unfold, Ruhi must learn how to find a way forward when all hope seems lost, and discover that love may be worth more than the sum of its tragic parts.

SEE JANE RUN by Charlotte Alter

9781250459893 | 7/6/27

Juniper Gray, a once hotshot journalist now turned jaded listicle writer, is struggling to find purpose after a destabilizing divorce and the all-consuming demands of mothering a toddler. She’s also reeling from the news that a few months earlier, her childhood best friend, Miriam Kohan, disappeared. Her world is turned on its head when Miriam’s mother Annie—Juniper’s former mentor, and a renowned art historian and curator—is found murdered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In her final moments, Annie scrawled a cryptic code at the base of a painting of the Madonna and child, which mentions Juniper by name. The cops think she might have answers—or indeed, might be a murder suspect—but when Juniper arrives at the Met, she is taken aside by an unlikely ally, a young woman named Tamara who was part of a top-secret network Annie had led.

On the run from the police with Tamara, Juniper must now use the journalistic skills she thought she had lost to decipher a trail of Annie’s clues that lead her around New York City, in search of Miriam. Juniper soon realizes that Miriam, a formidable fertility scientist, was on the verge of a discovery that could reshape the world, and she’s not the only one on the hunt for the truth. Juniper finds herself in a race against the clock to clear her name, save Miriam, and solve the mystery at the heart of Miriam’s research and Annie’s death, before the real killer catches up to her.

DELICATE CREATURES by Kimi Cunningham Grant

9781250457325 | 8/3/27

Blue Hollow, West Virginia, 2005. Local journalist Britt has a terrible shock when she arrives at the home of her best friend, Des, to what looks like the remnants of a crime scene. Des, her son and her husband are all missing. Twenty years earlier, Ozias and his mother, Mari, arrive in the small town, hoping for a fresh start. The trouble is, the very white town of Blue Hollow isn’t welcoming to two multiracial outsiders, except for Des, their young neighbor who lives up the mountain. Over time, Des and Ozias fall in love and dream of a life together, but when Ozias decides to join the army and is later deployed to Kuwait, Des eventually has no choice but to move on. Then, one night in 1992, Ozias returns to Blue Hollow, his homecoming marked by an act of violence.

Years later, when Britt makes her discovery at Des’s house, the sheriff and the town are quick to tie Ozias to the crime scene, given his recent return to Blue Hollow and his history with Des. But Britt isn’t so sure. Blue Hollow is rife with secrets and preconceptions, and there are people in this town who will stop at nothing to keep the truth from coming to light.

Blending the coming-of-age story and exquisite nature writing of WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING, with the sophisticated narrative style of THE GOD OF THE WOODS, DELICATE CREATURES is a masterful multithreaded mystery that powerfully explores race, deception, and longing.

THE ORCHID CODE: How Temperament Shapes Who We Become by Aliza Pressman, PhD

9781250462312 | 4/6/27

The same sensitivity that makes a child more vulnerable to stress makes them more responsive to support. That is the central insight of THE ORCHID CODE—and it reframes what we think we know about why children are so different from each other, and from us.

Every child arrives with a nervous system calibrated to experience the world in its own way. Orchids process deeply, feel intensely, and need particular conditions to flourish. Dandelions adapt to almost anything. Most children are tulips, somewhere in between. What all of them need is to be understood for who they are, rather than measured against a child who was never them.

Drawing on decades of research in developmental psychology and revelatory new temperament science, Dr. Aliza Pressman shows that sensitivity runs in both directions. The children most easily undone by a hard environment are the ones who gain the most from a good one. Pressman gives the upside a name. She calls this flourishability, a sensitive child’s heightened capacity to bloom when conditions are supportive, and it changes what a parent pays attention to.

It also asks something that feels uneasy. This book will invite parents to let their children be uncomfortable, to find the space between dismissing a child’s experience and overaccommodating it, and to tell the difference between the stress that builds resilience, the stress that calls for support, and the stress that calls for protection. Along the way it makes a larger argument: as a culture, we have been mistaking temperamental luck for parenting skill.

When children feel known for who they actually are, they stop spending their energy trying to be someone else and start becoming themselves.

For readers of QUIET, THE HIGHLY SENSITIVE CHILD, and GOOD INSIDE, THE ORCHID CODE will give parents the tools they need to help their children thrive.

THE MIRACLES by Isabel Davies

9781250462251 | 6/29/27

As war wages in Europe, a psychic medium on the coast of England summons the ghosts of the dead sailors aboard a sunken battleship—months before anyone knows the ship went down. For London journalist Iris Remington, séances are nothing more than a way for fraudsters to make money from people’s loss. But once her editor assigns her the story, Iris is forced to admit that she has a vested interest in whether Helen Duncan can, in fact, see ghosts: her husband has been missing in action for two years, and she doesn’t know if he’s dead or alive.

When Helen is arrested under the Witchcraft Act—the first woman in centuries to be charged under the arcane statue—Iris finds herself in the center of a trial that’s as much about magic and hoaxes as it is about espionage and government secrets. As the verdict looms, both women are forced to confront the ghosts in their own lives and determine what they believe, what they fear, and what they’re willing to risk.

THE LOBSTER POT by Melissa Pimentel

9781250474230 | 7/13/27

Nora Goodrich bought the pink-painted Victoria mansion in Tripps Bay for two reasons. First, she’s always admired the way the Pink House presides over the sleepy coastal Maine village like a queen surveying her kingdom. But the second reason—and perhaps the real reason—is that it’s more than large enough to accommodate her and her three best friends: Allie, Carla and Maya.

But then—in a twist that not even Kurt the Clairvoyant Crustacean could have predicted—a skeleton is found stuffed in a lobster trap during the town’s annual summer festival, sending Tripps Bay’s rumor mill into overdrive. When the victim’s widow turns up on the doorstep of the Pink House the following day, asking for help, the women don’t hesitate to take on the case. Between them, the fiftysomething friends have weathered divorce, widowhood, career shifts and empty nests. Solving a murder should be a piece of cake.

Soon, the women realize that this murder isn’t as straightforward as it first appeared, and it threatens to expose a darker side to their picturesque coastal sanctuary. Will they uncover the truth and return peace to Tripps Bay before the killer strikes again?

Funny, clever and offbeat, with a brilliant sense of place, THE LOBSTER PLOT is a deliciously propulsive mystery with the friendship of four unforgettable women at its heart.

WE GO WAY BACK by Niamh Connolly

9781250464200 | 2/2/27

Frances is back in Ireland for yet another friend’s wedding—only this time, it’s different. She has imagined this particular wedding a million times, but in no version was she alone in her hotel room, trying not to cry. In every version, she was the one marrying Callum Sutton. She was the one he was promising to love forever.

Instead, she’s single, and staring down the most difficult weekend of her life. Four days of putting on her bravest face, ignoring sympathetic smiles (her friends) and suspicious stares (the bride’s friends). Four days to get over Callum, for good.

How did they end up here? As the wedding weekend unfolds, we go way back, into a friendship forever on the brink of being something more. From their early days of homemade mixtapes and drunken almost-kisses, we journey through birthdays, weddings, life-upending bereavements, and the final heartbreak that pulled them apart—and led to Callum proposing to Someone Else.

But as Frances unpacks her suitcase, there’s a knock at her hotel room door. It’s Callum, in the flesh. And suddenly, the answer to what this weekend will hold becomes a lot less certain . . .

WE GO WAY BACK hits all the beats of a classic will-they-won’t-they story, but it’s also a novel about friendship, forgiveness, and figuring out who you want to be when you grow up. Sexy and tender, funny and moving, this is an epic love story for the millennial age.
