New Releases/Forthcoming
Forthcoming: John Grisham’s ‘The French Illusion’
Doubleday will publish John Grisham’s next thriller, THE FRENCH ILLUSION, on September 29, with an announced first printing of 1.5 million copies. Hodder and Stoughton will publish simultaneously in the UK. “When I’m not reading legal thrillers, I enjoy espionage and spy stories,” Grisham said in a release. “As a writer, I have been influenced by Ken Follett, John Le Carre, Robert Ludlum and Len Deighton. Many of the elements that make legal thrillers compelling—high stakes, hidden motives, intricate plots, and shady characters—also propel the best espionage fiction. THE FRENCH ILLUSION is my first attempt to follow the craftsmanship of […]

Forthcoming: Memoirs from Alice Cooper, Billie Lourd
On October 6, Da Capo will publish rock star Alice Cooper‘s memoir, DEVIL ON MY SHOULDER, which describes “two very different Alice Coopers: the deeply religious sober man behind the mask and the Godfather of Shock Rock who wears a snake around his neck,” according to a release. “I’ve written this book to track Alice’s ‘evilution’, and how I’ve tamed him at last,” Cooper said. “Just as he and I became almost fatally intertwined, the story of Alice Cooper after over thirty records and sixty-plus years has become a tangle of embellishments, elaborations and outright fabrications, and I think it’s […]
Forthcoming: ‘The Department of Revenge’ by Devlin Barrett
