Beautiful Country
A Memoir
Qian Julie Wang
An incandescent memoir from an astonishing new talent, Beautiful Country puts
readers in the shoes of an undocumented child living in poverty in the richest
country in the world.
"Extraordinary…With immense skill, Wang parses how her family’s illegal status
blighted nearly every aspect of their life, from pushing her parents’ marriage to the
brink to compromising their health. While Wang’s story of pursuing the American
dream is undoubtedly timeless, it’s her family’s triumph in the face of “xenophobia
and intolerance” that makes it feel especially relevant today. Consider this
remarkable memoir a new classic."—Publishers Weekly, *Starred Review*
In Chinese, the word for America, Mei Guo, translates directly to
“beautiful country.” Yet when seven-year-old Qian arrives in New York City in
1994 full of curiosity, she is overwhelmed by crushing fear and scarcity. In
China, Qian’s parents were professors; in America, her family is “illegal” and it
will require all the determination and small joys they can muster to survive.
In Chinatown, Qian’s parents labor in sweatshops. Instead of laughing at her
jokes, they fight constantly, taking out the stress of their new life on one
another. Shunned by her classmates and teachers for her limited English, Qian

The Correspondents
Six Women Writers on the Front Lines of World War II
Judith Mackrell
"Gripping...One of the best books I have read in years. It is thrilling from the first
page to the last."
—Mary Gabriel, author of Ninth Street Women
The untold history of six revolutionary women who wrote the narrative of the war
from their own bold perspective.
On the front lines of the Second World War, a contingent of female
journalists were bravely waging their own battle. Barred from combat zones
and faced with entrenched prejudice and bureaucratic restrictions, these
women were forced to fight for the right to work on equal terms with men.
The Correspondents follows six remarkable women as their lives and careers
intertwined: Martha Gellhorn, who out-scooped her husband, Ernest
Hemingway, on D-Day by traveling to Normandy as a stowaway on a Red Cross
ship; Lee Miller, who went from being a Vogue cover model to the magazine’s
official war correspondent; Sigrid Schultz, who hid her Jewish identity and
risked her life by reporting on the Nazi regime; Virginia Cowles, a “society girl
columnist” turned combat reporter; Clare Hollingworth, the first war
correspondent to report the outbreak of World War II; and Helen Kirkpatrick,

Face the Music
A Memoir
Peter Duchin with Patricia Beard
The celebrated musician reflects on family, illness, and a bygone era of glamour in
this poignant memoir.
The internationally-famous bandleader Peter Duchin's six decades of
performing have taken him to the most exclusive dance floors and concert
halls in the world. He has played for presidents, kings, and queens, as well as
for civil rights and cultural organizations. But in 2013, Duchin suffered a stroke
that left him with limited use of his left hand, severely impacting his career.
Days of recuperating from his stroke—and later from a critical case of
Covid-19—inspired Duchin to reconsider his complicated past. His father, the
legendary bandleader Eddy Duchin, died when Peter was twelve; his mother,
Marjorie Oelrichs Duchin, died when he was just six days old. In the succeeding
decades, Duchin would follow his father to become the epitome of mid-20th
Century glamour. But it was only half a century later, in the aftermath of his
sudden illnesses, that he began to see his mother and father not just as the
parents he never had, but as the people he never got to know; and at the
same time, to reconsider the milieu in which he has been both a symbol and a
participant.
ON SALE 12/7/2021 More than a memoir, Face the Music offers a window into the era of
DOUBLEDAY debutantes and white-tie balls, when such events made national headlines.

mean now. With sincerity and humor, Face the Music offers a moving portrait of

Flying Blind
The 737 MAX Tragedy and the Fall of Boeing
Peter Robison
A chilling behind-the-scenes look at the corporate dysfunction—the ruthless
cost-cutting, toxic workplaces, and cutthroat management—that contributed to one
of the worst tragedies in modern aviation
Boeing is a century-old titan of industry. It played a major role in the early
days of commercial flight, World War II bombing missions, and moon landings.
The planemaker remains a cornerstone of the U.S. economy, as well as a
linchpin in the awesome routine of modern air travel. But in 2018 and 2019,
two crashes of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 killed 346 people. The crashes exposed a
shocking pattern of malfeasance, leading to the biggest crisis in the company’s
history—and one of the costliest corporate scandals ever.
How did things go so horribly wrong at Boeing?
Flying Blind is the definitive exposé of the disasters that transfixed the world.
Drawing from exclusive interviews with current and former employees of
Boeing and the FAA; industry executives and analysts; and family members of
the victims, it reveals how a broken corporate culture paved the way for
catastrophe. It shows how in the race to beat the competition and reward top
executives, Boeing skimped on testing, pressured employees to meet
ON SALE 11/16/2021 unrealistic deadlines, and convinced regulators to put planes into service
DOUBLEDAY without properly equipping them or their pilots for flight. And it examines how

The Hanged Man's Tale
An Inspector Mazarelle Mystery
Gerald Jay
In the shadowy back alleys and opulent homes of Paris, hard-nosed police
inspector Paul Mazarelle of The Paris Directive sets out on the trail of a serial killer.
A murdered man is discovered dangling inside the tunnels of a Paris
canal--the only clue, the tarot card in his pockets: the Hanged Man. When an
innocent suspect is railroaded into prison for the homicide, Mazarelle sets off
on the hunt for the real killer.
For the charming, hot-tempered, impulsive Frenchman--now back from the
provinces and leading his own homicide unit out of Paris’s famed Quai des
Orfevres--it’s an investigation that takes him far from the comforts of
Beaujolais and bouillabaisse, and plunges him into an underworld of ruthless
white supremacists looking for scapegoats in Paris’s growing immigrant
community, corrupt cops eager to cover up a shady side business, and a
conspiracy of secrets that threaten his own life.
Meanwhile, Claire Girard, an irresistible and ambitious journalist at a popular
tabloid, is wrapped up in the same story. On the trail of the Tarot Card killer,
Mazarelle finds himself blindsided by their growing attraction. And when his
ON SALE 12/7/2021 team’s case collides with Girard's latest scoop, and the body count keeps
NAN A. TALESE rising, Mazarelle himself becomes a prime suspect who must clear his own

Harlem Shuffle
A Novel
Colson Whitehead
From two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author Colson Whitehead, a gloriously
entertaining novel of heists, shakedowns, and rip-offs set in Harlem in the 1960s.
"Ray Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked..."
To his customers and neighbors on 125th street, Carney is an upstanding
salesman of reasonably priced furniture, making a decent life for himself and
his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child, and if her
parents on Striver's Row don't approve of him or their cramped apartment
across from the subway tracks, it's still home.
Few people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks, and
that his façade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are
getting bigger all the time.
Cash is tight, especially with all those installment-plan sofas, so if his cousin
Freddie occasionally drops off the odd ring or necklace, Ray doesn't ask where
it comes from. He knows a discreet jeweler downtown who doesn't ask
questions, either.
ON SALE 9/14/2021 Then Freddie falls in with a crew who plan to rob the Hotel Theresa -- the

up of shady cops, vicious local gangsters, two-bit pornographers, and other

Hyde
A Novel
Craig Russell
From the internationally acclaimed author, a stunning gothic reimagining of the
Jekyll and Hyde story in which Captain Edward Hyde, chief detective of Victorian
Edinburgh, investigates a gruesome murder that may unmask his own darkest secret
Victorian Edinburgh. Captain Edward Henry Hyde is chief detective for the
City of Edinburgh Police; as such, he is responsible for investigating all murders
and serious crimes in the city. Hyde is a striking but severe-looking man who
provokes unease, and often fear, in those who encounter him. Nevertheless,
Edward Hyde is truly a good man ... though he wrestles fiercely with his own
unique demons.
When Hyde finds himself at the scene of a heinous murder, with no idea of
how he got there or the events leading up to the discovery, his alarm is
triggered on two levels. First, the crime scene is brutal and involves the
Threefold Death, an ancient Celtic rite of sacrifice entangled with dark Scottish
spiritual mythology. Second, Hyde's inability to remember any detail of his
arrival at the crime scene makes him immediately fret about the secret he
keeps from all but his physician: He suffers from a rare form of epilepsy that
causes him to lose time—amnesiac absences where he cannot account for his
ON SALE 9/28/2021 actions—and nocturnal seizures that manifest themselves as vivid and lucid
DOUBLEDAY dreams.
HARDCOVER
As Hyde begins his investigation of the murder in a city on edge, he finds
978-0-385-54444-3 himself not only searching for real world clues, but trying to unravel the
$27.00/$36.00 significance of the imagery in the otherworld of his dreaming. His investigation
leads to the very places he fears, but has never fully imagined.

Madam
The Biography of Polly Adler, Icon of the Jazz Age
Debby Applegate
Meet the real-life figure to rival the fictional Great Gatsby. From the Pulitzer
Prize-winning author of The Most Famous Man in America, the compulsively
readable and sometimes jaw-dropping life of the notorious madam who played
hostess to every gangster, politician, writer, sports star and Cafe Society swell
worth knowing, and who as much as any single figure helped make the twenties roar
Simply put: Everybody came to Polly's. Pearl "Polly" Adler (1900-1962) was
a diminutive dynamo whose Manhattan brothels in the Roaring Twenties
became places not just for men to have the company of women but were key
gathering places where the culturati and celebrity elite mingled with high
society and with violent figures of the underworld--and had a good time doing
it. As a Jewish immigrant from eastern Europe, Polly Adler's life is a classic
American story of success and assimilation that starts like a novel by Henry
Roth and then turns into a glittering real-life tale straight out of F. Scott
Fitzgerald. She declared her ambition to be "the best goddam madam in all
America" and succeeded wildly. Debby Applegate uses Polly's story as the key
to unpacking just what made the 1920s the appallingly corrupt yet glamorous
and transformational era that it was and how the collision between high and
low is the unique ingredient that fuels American culture.

high-wire act starring two daring heroines dead set on justice.
Someone’s put a blade in the back of the Amazing Tattooed Woman, and Willowjean
“Will” Parker’s former knife-throwing mentor has been stitched up for the crime. To
uncover the truth, Will and her boss, world-famous detective Lillian
Pentecost , travel south to the circus where they find a snakepit of old grudges,
small-town crime, and secrets worth killing for.
New York, 1946: The last time Will Parker let a case get personal, she
walked away with a broken face, a bruised ego, and the solemn promise never
again to let her heart get in the way of her job. But she called Hart and
Halloway’s Travelling Circus and Sideshow home for five years, and Ruby
Donner, the circus’s tattooed ingenue, was her friend. To make matters worse
the prime suspect is Valentin Kalishenko, the man who taught Will everything
she knows about putting a knife where it needs to go.
To uncover the real killer and keep Kalishenko from a date with the electric
chair, Will and Ms. Pentecost join the circus in sleepy Stoppard, Virginia, where

Patriots and Loyalists in the American Revolution
H. W. Brands
From bestselling historian H. W. Brands comes a dramatic narrative of the
American Revolution that shows it to be more than a fight against the British: it was
also a violent battle among neighbors forced to choose sides, Loyalist or Patriot.
What causes people to forsake their country and take arms against it? What
prompts their neighbors, hardly distinguishable in station or success, to defend
that country against the rebels? That is the question H. W. Brands answers in
his powerful new history of the American Revolution.
George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were the unlikeliest of rebels.
Washington in the 1770s stood at the apex of Virginia society. Franklin was
more successful still, having risen from humble origins to world fame. John
Adams might have seemed a more obvious candidate for rebellion, being of
cantankerous temperament. Even so, he revered the law. Yet all three men
became rebels against the British Empire that fostered their success.
Others in the same circle of family and friends chose differently. William
Franklin might have been expected to join his father, Benjamin, in rebellion but
remained loyal to the British. So did Thomas Hutchinson, a royal governor and
friend of the Franklins, and Joseph Galloway, an early challenger to the Crown.
ON SALE 11/9/2021 They soon heard themselves denounced as traitors--for n o t having betrayed
DOUBLEDAY the country where they grew up. Native Americans and the enslaved were also

Wilson. At 91 years of age he may be the most eminent American scientist in
any field. Fascinated from an early age by the natural world in general and ants
in particular, his field work on them and on all social insects has vastly
expanded our knowledge of their many species and fascinating ways of being.
This work led to his 1975 book Sociobiology, which created an intellectual
firestorm from his contention that all animal behavior, including that of
humans, is governed by the laws of evolution and genetics. Subsequently
Wilson has become a leading voice on the crucial importance to all life of
biodiversity and has worked tirelessly to synthesize the fields of science and
the humanities in a fruitful way.
Richard Rhodes is himself a towering figure in the field of science writing
and he has had complete and unfettered access to Wilson, his associates, and
his papers in writing this book. The result is one of the most accomplished and
ON SALE 10/19/2021 anticipated and urgently needed scientific biographies in years.
DOUBLEDAY THIS BIOGRAPHY COULD NOT BE MORE TIMELY OR MORE NEEDED...as the
HARDCOVER massive extinction of species around the globe accelerates and as the very ideas of
science and truth are under assault.
