Jessa Farrell inherits an unusual mud figure of the smiling Buddha from her father. Researching its past, she emails a photo of it to her friend Johnnie, who works at a Chicago art museum. Strange events conspire to make Jessa feel that she is being watched. When Johnnie does not return her phone calls, Jessa engages the services of Gainesville, Florida private investigator, John T. Raven. To uncover the statue’s history, they go underground when the body of a missing art historian appears on Jessa’s lawn. In a race against time, they pursue the cold trail of a thirty year old mystery. As the little Buddha’s past is unraveled, a surprising connection between detective and client emerges.

The basis for the upcoming HBO miniseries and the "definitive account of the Jonestown massacre" (Rolling Stone) -- now available for the first time in paperback. Tim Reiterman’s Raven provides the seminal history of the Rev. Jim Jones, the Peoples Temple, and the murderous ordeal at Jonestown in 1978. This PEN Award–winning work explores the ideals-gone-wrong, the intrigue, and the grim realities behind the Peoples Temple and its implosion in the jungle of South America. Reiterman’s reportage clarifies enduring misperceptions of the character and motives of Jim Jones, the reasons why people followed him, and the important truth that many of those who perished at Jonestown were victims of mass murder rather than suicide. This widely sought work is restored to print after many years with a new preface by the author, as well as the more than sixty-five rare photographs from the original volume.

In this Alice in Wonderland-esque action-adventure fantasy, a young girl must save both the known world and the subterranean hidden world of Hotland from an evil King bent on destroying civilization. The animals clearly knew something was wrong. Even her pet iguana scrawled a warning in the sand of his tank: He is coming. Soon all the animals are fleeing the suburb where Jane lives. But they aren't the only ones acting strange. Jane's parents seem to be hypnotized by their cell phones and the TV. And her grandma starts controlling the weather and speaking in a funny language. But when Jane meets an old blind man who can drive a car and claims Jane is the only one who can save the world, well, that's when things really start to get weird...
