STABBING STEPHANIE Literary agent Jane Stuart has finally decided to crawl out from under her pile of manuscripts to take a muchneeded vacation when she gets a surprise call from her late husband's cousin, Stephanie, asking if she can stay for a few days. Jane reluctantly agrees—after all, it is Thanksgiving, and Stephanie is taking an editor's job at a hot new publishing house. But no sooner has Stephanie unpacked her file folders than it becomes clear that something rotten is going on in the pedigreed halls of Carson & Hart, Inc. And when Stephanie is found in a Dumpster with a knife in her back, Jane goes undercover at the company to find the killer. Yet playing the part of an editor isn't easy for Jane, especially when the list of murder suspects is growing faster than the stack of submissions on her overburdened desk. . . "Another delightful cozy with a congenial cast of diverse characters, a realistic heroine with a vivid sense of humor and a loveable cat."—Publishers Weekly "A great book. . .Marshall has all the right tricks up his sleeve to keep his readers interested." —I Love a Mystery

What would you do if someone gave you absolute justice, absolute anonymity, and absolute power over evil men? Would it lead you from all that is good? Might you become drunk with the power of true evil? Allowing you privilege to unleash a lifetime of sorrow, betrayal, and anger. This is the story of such a man; who exercises his vigilante justice on those that commit the most heinous crimes against others. Even under the eyes of scrutiny Necroman's powers enable him to leave no forensic evidence or witnesses behind. Yet, the homicide detective Stephanie Bowers struggles to put anything together? The darkness of Necroman's legacy stains all those around him as the life of a young woman is changed forever. Necroman eventually sees the fact that he is becoming the very evil that he despises and destroys. He starts to understand that his justice is no justice at all.

Necroman escapes the cancerous lies of evil only to find he must pursue an even greater evil, growing ever closer to its source. You will take a front seat for a ride that shows you this world from a different perspective and a glimpse of a world that is yet to come.

Novels began to incorporate literary theory in unexpected ways in the late twentieth century. Through allusion, parody, or implicit critique, theory formed an additional strand in fiction that raised questions about the nature of authorship and the practice of writing. Studying this phenomenon provides fresh insight into the recent development of the novel and the persistence of modern theory beyond the period of its greatest success. In this book, Judith Ryan opens these questions to a range of readers, drawing them into debates over the value of theory. Ryan investigates what prompted fiction writers to incorporate and respond to theory nearly thirty years ago. Designed for readers unfamiliar with the complexities of theory, Ryan’s book introduces the discipline’s major trends and controversies and notes the salient ideas of a carefully selected set of individual thinkers. Ryan follows novelists’ adaptation to and engagement with arguments drawn from theory as they translate abstract ideas into language, structure, and fictional strategy. At the core of her book is a fascinating microstudy of French poststructuralism in its dialogue with narrative fiction. Investigating theories of textuality, psychology, and society in the work of Don DeLillo, Thomas Pynchon, J. M. Coetzee, Margaret Atwood, W. G. Sebald, and Umberto Eco, as well as Monika Maron, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Marguerite Duras, Marilynne Robinson, David Foster Wallace, and Christa Wolf, Ryan identifies subtle negotiations between author and theory and the richness this dynamic adds to texts. Resetting the way we think and learn about literature, her book reads current literary theory while uniquely tracing its shaping of a genre.

Now it's time for Jane and Ivy to heal past wounds and catch up on old times. The perfect opportunity presents itself at a week at the off-season mountain lodge where Jane has scheduled a fiction writers' retreat. So much for best intentions.

When murder strikes close to home and pretty young girls vanish from the privileged streets of Shady Hills, literary agent Jane Stuart finds herself in the midst of a real-life page-turner. . .with a deadly surprise ending. . . Jane couldn't say no when her nanny's sister needed a place to stay, but she's certainly glad to see her houseguest go. In just two weeks as assistant director of the Shady Hills Public Library, Crystal Ryerson has proven herself a meddler par excellence. Still, it's shocking when the next meeting of Jane's reading group crashes to a halt as thousands of pounds of books and shelves come toppling down on poor Crystal--especially after it's discovered that the bolts on the bookcase had been deliberately removed. But when the body of a teenager who worked at the library is found in the woods behind the railroad tracks, and two other girls go missing, Jane is sure the events are all pieces of the same puzzle. Somehow, despite the ever-present distractions of trying to keep Winky's claws out of the couch and her diva clients' claws out of each other, Jane manages to stay on the murderer's trail. But a trail can go both ways, and this one may well lead the killer right to Jane's doorstep. . .
