From Alan Furst, bestselling author of Blood of Victory and Dark Voyage, comes a thrilling saga of everyday people forced by their hearts' passion to fight in the war against tyranny. Paris, a winter night in 1938: a murder/suicide at a discreet lovers' hotel. But this is no romantic tragedy -- it is the work of the OVRA, Mussolini's fascist secret police, and is meant to eliminate the editor of Liberazione, a clandestine migr newspaper. Carlo Weisz, a foreign correspondent with the Reuters bureau, becomes the new editor. Weisz is, at that moment, in Spain, reporting on the last campaign of the Spanish civil war. But as soon as he returns to Paris, he is pursued by the French Sret, by agents of the OVRA, and by officers of the British Secret Intelligence Service.

I Don't Know What You Know Me From
By Greer, Judy
You know Judy Greer, right? Maybe from The Wedding Planner, 13 Going on 30, Carrie, Arrested Development, or The Descendants. Yes, you totally recognize her. And, odds are, you already feel like she’s your friend. In her first book of essays, I Don’t Know What You Know Me From, Greer writes about everything you would hope to hear from your best friend: how a midnight shopping trip to Walgreens can cure all; what it’s like to wake up one day with stepchildren; and how she really feels about fans telling her that she’s prettier in person. Yes, it’s all here—from the hilarious moments to the intimate confessions. But Judy Greer isn’t just a regular friend—she’s a celebrity friend. Want to know which celebs she’s peed next to? Or what the Academy Awards are actually like? Or which hot actor gave her father a Harley-Davidson? Don’t worry; Greer reveals all of that, too.

Feel the Bern
By Shaffer, Andrew
Bernie Sanders and his millennial aide are drawn into a murder investigation in a small Vermont town in this hilarious spin on cozy mysteries from the New York Times best-selling author of Hope Never Dies: An Obama Biden Mystery.Bernie Sanders is on summer break from the Senate. In true "man of the people" fashion, he's working at the Vermont Country Store in Eagle Creek, a quiet, picturesque resort community on Lake Champlain. After a long day chatting up voters from behind the register, he likes to unwind at his shoreline cabin with a nice cup of decaf and a cozy mystery.When a local farmer's body washes on shore at the Summer Jazz Festival, however, there's nothing "cozy" about it. All signs point to the nefarious forces of Big Maple, the multinational agri-business that has been forcing Eagle Creek's small farms to either sell or shut down.

By Spade, David
A hilarious and biting memoir from the actor, comedian and Saturday Night Live alumni.David Spade is best known for his harsh "Hollywood" Minute Sketches on SNL, his starring roles in movies like Tommy Boy and Joe Dirt, and his seven-year stint as Dennis Finch on the series Just Shoot Me. Now, with a wit as dry as the weather in his home state of Arizona, the "comic brat extraordinaire" delivers a memoir. Spade takes fans back to his childhood as a wannabe cool younger brother and recounts his excruciating road-tour to fame--when he was regularly mistaken for a fourteen year-old. He dishes about his time on SNL during the beloved Rock/Sandler/Farley era of the 1990s, and brags about the ridiculous perks that fame has brought into his life, including a crazy assistant who attacked him while he was sleeping, being threatened on the street in Beverley Hills by Eddie Murphy, and being one of the shortest guys at the Playboy mansion (the views weren't bad) .
