“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Everyone knows the catch phrase, but few know who coined it—much less anything about him. His name was Drew “Bundini” Brown, and in Bundini: Don’t Believe the Hype, Todd D. Snyder tells his story.

One of boxing’s most intriguing characters, Bundini was literally and figuratively a constant in Muhammad Ali’s corner, working forty-four of his sixty-one professional bouts—including all of his most significant ones. As his trainer, Bundini woke him up every morning and shadowed him in the gym every day. Over time, he became one of Ali’s closest confidants. He also served as Ali’s “hype man,” firing up the legendary boxer during every fight with interjections and exclamations that were as fierce as they were poetic.

While his impact on “The Greatest” cannot be overstated, Muhammad Ali was not the only fighter shaped by Drew “Bundini” Brown. Before ever meeting Ali, Bundini was a member of Sugar Ray Robinson’s entourage for seven consecutive years. As a primary figure in the lives of two of the biggest icons in the history of the boxing, Bundini’s impact on the sport is undeniable.

Todd D. Snyder is the son of a West Virginia boxing trainer and the author of 12 Rounds in Lo’s Gym: Boxing and Manhood in Appalachia. He holds a B.A. and an M.A. in English from Marshall University, and a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Composition from Ohio University. An Associate Professor of Rhetoric and Writing at Siena College, he lives in Albany, New York.

White collar crime is running rampant in the United States, and it’s costing Americans an untold amount of money. White

collar crimes like fraud and embezzlement rob victims anywhere from $300 billion to $800 billion annually, while street

level crimes like burglary and theft cost about $16 billion a year, according to the FBI. But despite this eye-opening statistic,

the true extent of white collar crime is largely unknown: the federal government doesn’t have a database of these criminals,

a method of tracking the rates of these types of crime, or even annual statistics. In BIG DIRTY MONEY: The Shocking

Injustice and Unseen Cost of White Collar Crime (Viking) legal scholar Jennifer Taub takes a deep dive into white collar crime, its history, and reveals why these offenders seem to get off scot-free now more than ever, at great cost to the general public.

On the heels of his National Book Critics Circle Award-winning memoir Half a Life, Darin Strauss, author of the New York Times bestseller Chang & Eng, presents us with a wild and indelible story based on the loves and losses of Lucille Ball, the woman who became Hollywood’s first true female mogul while navigating a tumultuous personal life.

In The Queen of Tuesday, Strauss mixes fact and fiction, memoir and novel, to bring us face-to-face with one of the world’s most remarkable entertainers. The novel begins with a daring conceit: that the author’s grandfather, Isidore Strauss, may have enjoyed—and suffered as a result of—a passionate affair with the legendary actress.

As Strauss shows, Lucille is a singular character—the greatest screen idol the world has ever seen, and the most powerful woman in the history of Hollywood. She starred in America’s first big-time interracial marriage. She loved hard. She may or may not have been a Communist. And she more or less single-handedly came up with the modern television business. When she got pregnant, she convinced a network that viewers would accept warmed-over episodes, thus creating the “re-run.”

While making millions laugh on the small screen, in private Lucille struggled. Her partner in that famously “happy marriage” that people tuned into, reliably, week after week, couldn’t stay faithful. And she found it difficult to balance her ever-ascending fame with the demands of being a mother, a creative genius, an entrepreneur, a media tycoon, and, most of all, a symbol.

Did Strauss’s grandfather actually have a relationship with the First Lady of Television? Who’s to say he did, and who’s to say he didn’t? Regardless, The Queen of Tuesday vibrates with Lucy’s inspiring and surprisingly human story at the same time it interrogates celebrity, media, the role of gender, and the manufacturing of glamour, offering a fresh view of a woman America adored, and reminding us all that, sometimes, you have to create your own reality.

Darin Strauss is the author of the bestselling novels Chang & Eng, The Real McCoy, More Than It Hurts You, the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning memoir Half a Life, and a bestselling comic-book series, Olivia Twist.

In Not a Gentleman’s Work: The Untold Story of a Gruesome Murder at Sea and the Long Road to Truth, Gerard Koeppel combines history with true crime, revealing long-buried evidence from the most notorious murder in American nautical history.

The book chronicles an incident that took place aboard the Herbert Fuller, a three-masted vessel loaded with New England lumber and headed for Buenos Aires. The ship left Boston on July 8, 1896 with twelve people. By 2:00 a.m. on the sixth day at sea, three of them were dead: captain/owner Charles Nash, his wife Laura, and the second mate. All were slaughtered in their individual bunkrooms with the ship’s axe, but no one saw or heard the murders. With the killer among them, the survivors embarked on a harrowing voyage back to port.

Upon the Herbert Fuller’s return to Boston, prosecutors charged—and a jury convicted—the first mate, Thomas Bram, a naturalized American of mixed blood from St. Kitts; he was sentenced to death. But another man on board, the sole passenger, Lester Monks, a twenty-year-old Harvard drop-out from a proper Boston family, had his own dark secrets. This book tells the fates of these two vastly different men whose lives intersected briefly but indelibly.

Long before Deborah Tannen became a bestselling author and internationally renowned linguist at Georgetown University, she was a young girl who adored her father—profoundly influenced by his gift for writing and storytelling.

In her riveting memoir, FINDING MY FATHER—her most personal and revealing work yet—Tannen embarks on the poignant, yet perilous, quest to piece together the puzzle of her father’s life.

Reading journals he kept as a young man, she uncovers secrets not even she could’ve expected—secrets that force Tannen to rethink her assumptions about her father’s life, her parents’ marriage, and the story she for decades told herself about her parents’ love story.

Beginning with his astonishingly vivid memories of the Hasidic community in Warsaw, where he was born in 1908, Tannen traces her father’s journey: arriving in New York City in 1920 at 12; quitting high school at 14 to support his mother and sister by working in a factory; through a vast array of jobs, including prison guard and gun-toting alcohol tax inspector; to eventually establishing a thriving law practice and running for Congress. Tannen follows her father through the trials of immigration, the Depression, the American Communist and Labor Movements—and the thicket of relations among men, women and sex, so different in his time than in her own.

FINDING MY FATHER is a daughter’s stunning labor of love: a tribute to her father and the near century that he lived. But even more, it’s an unflinching account of a daughter’s struggle to see her father more clearly, to know him more deeply, and to unearth a more truthful story about her family—and herself.

DEBORAH TANNEN is the acclaimed author of You Just Don’t Understand, which was on the New York Times bestseller list for nearly four years; the New York Times bestsellers You’re Wearing THAT? about mothers and daughters and You Were Always Mom’s Favorite!, about sisters; and many other books.

With REAGANLAND: America’s Right Turn 1976-1980 , historian Rick Perlstein concludes his sweeping four-volume account of the rise of modern American conservatism.

With the saga’s final installment, REAGANLAND—covering the years from Jimmy Carter’s election to his defeat at the hands of Ronald Reagan—he has delivered his most stunning literary and historical achievement yet. Perlstein shows how much the nation changed over those years—and just as importantly, how those changes produced the world we live in now.

In the next thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series, it’s a race against the clock

when ISIS takes out the entire US power grid and throws the country into chaos.

When Mitch Rapp captures ISIS’s top technology expert, he reveals that he was on his way to meet a man who

claims to have the ability to bring down America’s power grid. Rapp is determined to eliminate this shadowy

figure, but the CIA’s trap fails.

The Agency is still trying to determine what went wrong when ISIS operatives help this cyber terrorist do what

he said he could—plunge the country into darkness. With no concept of how this unprecedented act was

accomplished, the task of getting the power back on could take months. Perhaps even years.

Rapp and his team embark on a desperate search for the only people who know how to repair the damage—

the ones responsible. But his operating environment is like nothing he’s experienced before. Computers and

communication networks are down, fuel can no longer be pumped from gas stations, water and sanitation

systems are on the brink of collapse, and the supply of food is running out.

On Vince Flynn:

Total Power is the 19th book featuring counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp.

All 14 books that Vince Flynn wrote before his death were New York Times bestsellers, 3 of them reached the top of

the New York Times bestseller list

Nearly 75 million Vince Flynn books have been sold worldwide

At least 2 United States Presidents and 1 King are fans of

Vince Flynn: he’s heard personally from both President Bill

Clinton and President George W. Bush (left) that they’re big

fans, the latter even inviting him to the White House on

several occasions. King Abdullah II of Jordan (see right) has

hosted Vince in his palace and requests each new book for his enjoyment.

On Kyle Mills:

Kyle Mills is the New York Times bestselling author of

twenty-one books, including five previous Mitch Rapp

novels, The Survivor, Order to Kill, Enemy of the State, Red

War and last year’s #1 New York Times bestseller Lethal Agent.

Kyle’s father was an FBI agent, the Legal Attaché to the UK,

and the director of Interpol. As the legend that Vince Flynn

created goes: Mitch Rapp joined the CIA in reaction to the

love of his life dying in Pan Am 103. Well, in real life, Kyle’s

father was the FBI’s lead man in the investigation of that

terrorist attack. It happened during Kyle’s college

graduation dinner in London where he was stationed at the

time. His assistant came to the restaurant and told him that

a plane had gone down in a small Scottish town. That was the last he saw of him for months.

The Mills family first met Tom Clancy when he was researching his second book and still

worked as an insurance salesman. His FBI character Dan Murray is based on Mills’s father.

Because of Kyle’s father’s job, he grew up in Oregon, Washington, DC.
