Exclusive Excerpt: THE STAR FROM CALCUTTA by Sujata Massey, available March 2026 🎬

A movie censor murdered, a leading lady vanished—the glamour, romance, and intrigue of the beginnings of Bollywood come to vivid life in the thrilling new installment of the Perveen Mistry historical mystery series.

India, 1922: Perveen Mistry, the only female lawyer in Bombay, has secured her biggest client yet: Champa Films, a movie studio run by director Subhas Ghoshal and his wife, Rochana, the biggest name in Indian cinema. In the public eye, Rochana is notorious for her beauty and her daring stunts—behind the scenes, she has recently left the studio in Calcutta that made her famous, and the studio owner is enraged by what he claims is a breach of contract. Rochana needs Perveen’s legal help to extricate Champa Films from the impending controversy.

To study Rochana’s glamorous world, Perveen attends a special screening and brings her film fanatic best friend, Alice Hobson-Jones. But in the aftermath of the event, one of the guests is found dead, and to make matters worse, Rochana has disappeared.

To protect her clients, Perveen begins to investigate the developing murder case, peeling back the glitz to reveal a salacious web of blackmail, deceit, and romantic affairs. For the first time in their friendship, Alice seems to be keeping a secret from Perveen. Is she hiding key information about the night of the murder? Will Perveen be able to detangle the truth from lies while protecting herself—and her closest friend?

Happy to HER ONE REGRET by Donna Freitas ✨

From the author of the book club favorite The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano comes a riveting feminist thriller that tackles an unspeakable taboo: regretting motherhood.

When successful Rhode Island real estate agent Lucy Mendoza vanishes, leaving her baby behind in a grocery store parking lot, the news quickly makes national headlines. Lucy’s best friend, Michelle, is devastated, and terrified that Lucy’s life is at stake. But she knows something that could complicate the police investigation. Lucy had confessed something unspeakable: She regretted becoming a mother, so much that she’d fantasized about faking her own kidnapping. If the police and media were to find out, Lucy would become a monster in public opinion. Michelle is sure Lucy would never abandon her daughter. But could she be wrong? Could Lucy have been so desperate she chose to escape her life?

Donna Freitas has drawn from groundbreaking research to bring readers this unforgettable novel. HER ONE REGRET is at once a pulse-pounding feminist thriller, a moving depiction of the realities of motherhood, and a rich exploration of a subject our culture and society have rendered nearly verboten: the possibility that for some women, motherhood is an unfixable mistake.

Cover Reveal: THE GREAT HOUSES OF PILL HILL by Diane Josefowicz, on sale March 5, 2026. 🏡🔪

From a scintillating new voice in crime fiction comes a literary take on the locked-room mystery following a woman who makes miniatures of murder scenes.

Hannah “Cookie” Cooke, an interior decorator with a sideline making miniature reproductions of crime scenes, lands her dream job when New Preston’s wealthiest couple hires her to renovate their historic New England home. But things go spectacularly wrong when her client, Chuck, is murdered at the housewarming party.

The detective on the case is sure the key to the baffling murder is hiding in one of Cookie’s miniatures. Complicating matters further, Cookie’s mother, a retired archaeologist living in a local rehabilitation and nursing facility, knows more than she’s willing or able to admit about the house and its history—in particular, why there’s a hidden room decorated in 19th-century Egyptian kitsch on the premises, and what it might mean for the current owners.

This character-driven contemporary take on classic noir spins themes of possession, consumption, and development into a twisty, one-of-a-kind mystery. Pre-order now wherever books are sold.

Cover Reveal: PILGRIM X by Mike McCormack, on sale March 2026 🛜

A collection of affecting and unsettling Irish science fiction from the Booker-listed author of SOLAR BONES. For fans of Ted Chiang, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Jorge Luis Borges, near-future speculative stories that explore life, death, memory, and consciousness in an Ireland transformed by surveillance technologies, virtual communities, and artificial intelligence.

Mike McCormack’s new collection is set in an Ireland filled with sentient AIs and clones, and, in one story, avatars replicating endlessly after the death of the human. The stories in PILGRIM X ask us profound questions about what it means to be human. A sequence of four stories center around the android Sophia, stories which take their cue from a true incident about six or seven years ago when Saudia Arabia gave full citizenship to an android called Sophia . . . These stories take up Sophia’s story twenty five years after that event when she settles in the west of Ireland. Then there are six interwoven stories—All the Children Equal, Grieving is done With Your Hair Down, How I Met Welger Holland, Mayo In Excelsis Deo, These Are the Tools God Gave Us and Scrape—that are bound together by a handful of recurring characters, and work as an investigation of the meaning of death and life in a world where technology has increasingly blurred the distinctions between the two.

The last and title story, Pilgrim X, is set in a post apocalyptic western where Mayo is now a fully-fledged penal colony populated by inmates who do not know their own pasts or name—Mad Max crossed with Riddley Walker and The Third Policeman.

Coming January 2026: WHAT BOYS LEARN by Andromeda Romano-Lax, author of THE DEEPEST LAKE 🏘️

This twisty, jaw-dropping psychological thriller unravels a mother’s worst nightmare—that her child is capable of terrible violence—when her teenage son becomes a suspect in the murder of two classmates.

Over one terrible weekend, two teenage girls are found dead in a wealthy Chicago suburb. As the community mourns, Abby Rosso, the girls’ high school counselor, begins to suspect that her son was secretly involved in their lives—and possibly, their deaths.

Abby doesn’t want to believe Benjamin hurt anyone. But she’s seen the warning signs before. Two decades ago, her brother was imprisoned for a disturbing crime—he was only a little older than Benjamin is now. And Abby has more troubling memories from her own adolescence that confirm what boys and men are capable of. As Abby searches for the truth about what happened to her students, she’s forced to face the question: Has she been making excuses for Benjamin for years?

Set in Chicago’s North Shore and perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Celeste Ng, and Netflix’s ‘Adolescence,’ WHAT BOYS LEARN is a thriller swirling with sharp questions about family and masculinity, and ends with a twist worthy of heated book club discussion. Pre-order now.
