SHETANI'S SISTER by Iceberg Slim, foreword by Justin Gifford (Vintage • 256pages • On Sale: 8/4/15 • Price: $14.95 • ISBN: 9781101872598). From the multi-million copy master of vernacular black literature and pioneer of hip hop culture, a masterpiece of crime fiction set in Los Angeles' meanest, toughest streets. Here is the newly discovered novel by Iceberg Slim, the creator and undisputed master of African-American "street literature," a man who profoundly influenced hip hop and rap culture and probably has sold more books than any other black American author of the twentieth century (not that he saw the royalties from those sales). In many ways Iceberg Slim's most mature fictional work, SHETANI'S SISTER relates, in taut, evocative vernacular torn straight from the street corner, the deadly duel between two complex antiheroes: Sergeant Russell Rucker, an LAPD vice detective attempting to clean up street prostitution and police corruption, and Shetani (Swahili for Satan), a veteran master pimp who controls his stable of whores with violence and daily doses of heroin.

HOW TO WRITE A NOVEL by Melanie Sumner (Vintage • 304 pages • On Sale: 8/4/15 • Price: $14.95 • ISBN: 9781101873472). Aristotle "Aris" Thibodeau is 12.5 years old and destined for greatness. Ever since her father's death, however, she's been stuck in the small town of Kanuga, Georgia, where she has to manage her mother Diane's floundering love life and dubious commitment to her job as an English professor. Not to mention co-parenting a little brother who hogs all the therapy money. Luckily, Aris has a plan. Following the advice laid out in Write a Novel in Thirty Days! she sets out to pen a bestseller using her charmingly dysfunctional family as material. If the Mom-character, Diane, would ditch online dating and accept that the perfect man is clearly the handyman/nanny-character, Penn MacGuffin, Aris would have the essential romance for her plot (and a father in her real life). But when a random accident uncovers a dark part of Thibodeau family history, Aris is forced to confront the fact that sometimes in life-as in great literature-things might not work out exactly as planned.

THE RECKONING: Book Three of the Niceville Trilogy by Carsten Stroud(Vintage • 480 pages • On Sale: 8/18/15 • Price: $15.95 • ISBN: 9781101873021).The astonishing final installment in the page-turning trilogy that Stephen King calls "an authentic work of American genius." Niceville has an almost unearthly beauty when the sun tops the ancient nearby mountain called Tallulah's Wall and bathes it in soft Southern light. But there's a reason Native American tribes avoided the place: An absence that inhabits the air and the depthless "sink" atop Tallulah's Wall. This "Nothing" has long bent time and the desires of a chosen few to her shadowy ends. As THE RECKONING begins, Detective Nick Kavanaugh and his wife, family lawyer Kate, have accepted that reality in Niceville is not normal. Seemingly, they've fought Nothing to a draw. But now a buzzing emerges in the heads of some perfectly normal folks. Nothing isn't finished. Come to Niceville and sink into Carsten Stroud's inimitable blend of crime and supernatural thriller, as characters you'll love throw in with bad guys you'll like way more than you should as they battle evil.

TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN: An Intercrime Novel by Arne Dahl (Vintage • 400 pages • On Sale: 8/4/15 • Price: $15.95 • ISBN: 9781101911402). Don't miss this latest installment in Arne Dahl's acclaimed thriller series, winner of the German Crime Writing Prize. Stockholm's Intercrime team-a specialized group created to investigate violent, international crime-has been split up, their leader forced into early retirement, and his officers reassigned to mundane cases. Detectives Arto Söderstedt and Viggo Norlander answer calls around the city, Gunnar Nyberg is on the child abuse team, Jorge Chavez is immersed in dull research tasks, Paul Hjelm and Kerstin Holm are assigned to the meaningless murder of a young soccer supporter in a pub. But a series of precisely targeted bomb attacks-in a high-security prison, a car involved in a drug deal, and a dark suburban street-brings the Intercrime team back together, urgently. There is something dangerous approaching Sweden, and they are the only people who can do anything to stop it.

THE COLLECTED POEMS: The Corrected Edition by Wallace Stevens, edited by John N. Serio and Christopher Beyers (Vintage • 592 pages • On Sale: 8/18/15 • Price: $18.95 • ISBN: 9781101911686). THE COLLECTED POEMS of Wallace Stevens is the definitive collection from the man Harold Bloom has called "the best and most representative American poet."

THE COLLECTED POEMS is the one volume that Stevens intended to contain all the poems he wished to preserve, presented in the way he wanted. An essential collection for all readers of poetry, it is an enduring monument to his dazzling achievement.

Gavin Sasaki was a promising young journalist in New York City until the day he was fired for plagiarism. The last thing he wants is to sell foreclosed real estate for his sister Eilo's company in their Florida hometown, but he's in no position to refuse her job offer. Plus, there's another reason to go home: Eilo recently met a ten-year-old girl who looks very much like Gavin and has the same last name as his high-school girlfriend, Anna, who left town abruptly after graduation. Determined to find out if this little girl might be his daughter, Gavin sets off to track down Anna, starting with the three friends they shared back when he was part of a jazz group called "The Lola Quartet." As Gavin pieces together their stories, he learns that Anna has been on the run for good reason, and soon his investigation into her sudden disappearance all those years ago takes a seriously dangerous turn.

THE SINGER'S GUN by Emily St. John Mandel (Vintage • 272 pages • On Sale: 8/4/15 • Price: $14.95 • ISBN: 9781101911976). Everyone Anton Waker grew up with is corrupt. His parents dealt in stolen goods, and he was a successful purveyor of forged documents until he abandoned it all in his early twenties, determined to live a normal life, complete with career, apartment, and a fiancée who knows nothing of his criminal beginnings. He's on the verge of finally getting married when Aria-his cousin and former partner in crime-blackmails him into helping her with one last job. Anton considers the task a small price for future freedom. But as he sets off for an Italian honeymoon, it soon becomes clear that the ghosts of his past can't be left behind so easily, and that the task Aria requires will cost him more than he could ever imagine.

THE MOOR'S ACCOUNT by Laila Lalami (Vintage • 336 pages • On Sale: 8/18/15 • Price: $15.95 • ISBN: 9780804170628). A PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST. A New York Times Notable Book, a Wall Street Journal Top 10 Book of the Year, an NPR Great Read of 2014, and a Kirkus Best Fiction Book of the Year.

The slave of a Spanish conquistador, Estebanico sails for the Americas with his master, Dorantes, as part of a danger-laden expedition to Florida. Within a year, Estebanico is one of only four crew members to survive. As he journeys across America with his Spanish companions, the Old World roles of slave and master fall away, and Estebanico remakes himself as an equal, a healer, and a remarkable storyteller. His tale illuminates the ways in which our narratives can transmigrate into history-and how storytelling can offer a chance at redemption and survival.

F by Daniel Kehlmann, translated by Carol Janeway (Vintage • 272 pages • On Sale: 8/4/15 • Price: $15.95 • ISBN: 9780804171595). From the internationally acclaimed author of Measuring the World, here is a dazzling tragicomedy about the three sons of a lost father. Arthur Friedland is a wannabe writer who one day takes his sons to a performance by the Great Lindemann, Master of Hypnosis. Arthur declares himself immune to hypnosis and a disbeliever in magic. But the Great Lindemann knows better, and after he extracts Arthur's deepest secrets and tells him to make them real, Arthur empties the family bank account and vanishes. He goes on to become a world-famous author, a master of the mystical. (F is for fake.) But what of his abandoned boys? The painfully shy Martin grows up to be a priest without a vocation. (F is for faith, and lack of it.) Eric becomes a financier on the brink of ruin (F is for fraud), while Ivan, hoping for glory as a painter, instead becomes a forger. (F is for forgery, too.) During the summer before the global financial crisis, they are thrown together again with cataclysmic results. Wildly funny and heartbreaking, Daniel Kehlmann's novel about truth, family, and the terrible power of fortune is a fictional triumph.

I AM CHINA by Xiaolu Guo (Anchor • 384 pages • On Sale: 8/4/15 • Price: $16.95 •ISBN: 9780804170475). An NPR Best Book of the Year. London translator Iona Kirkpatrick is at work on a new project: a collection of letters and diaries by a Chinese punk guitarist named Kublai Jian. As she translates the handwritten pages, a story of romance and revolution emerges between Jian, who believes there is no art without political commitment, and Mu, a poet whom he loves as fiercely as his ideals. Iona cannot know that Jian has come to Britain seeking political asylum and is mere miles away in Dover, awaiting news of his fate. Mu is in Beijing, writing letters to London, feverishly trying to track Jian down. As Iona charts the course of their twenty-year relationship from its beginnings at Beijing University to Jian's defiant march in the Jasmine Revolution, her empty life takes on an urgent purpose: to bring Jian and Mu together again before it's too late.

AN EMPIRE ON THE EDGE: How Britain Came to Fight America by Nick Bunker (Vintage • 400 pages • On Sale: 8/4/15 • Price: $17.95 • ISBN: 9780307741776).Finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize in History. Written from a strikingly fresh perspective, this new account of the Boston Tea Party and the origins of the American Revolution shows how a lethal blend of politics, personalities, and economics led to a war that few people welcomed but nobody could prevent. "A great Empire, like a great Cake, is most easily diminished at the edges," observed Benjamin Franklin, shortly before the American Revolution. In AN EMPIRE ON THE EDGE, British author Nick Bunker delivers a powerful and propulsive narrative of the road to war. At the heart of the book lies the Boston Tea Party, when the British stumbled into an unforeseen crisis that exposed deep flaws in an imperial system sprawling from the Mississippi to Bengal. Shedding new light on the Tea Party's origins and on the roles of such familiar characters as Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, Thomas Hutchinson, and the British ministers Lord North and Lord Dartmouth, Bunker depicts the last three years of deepening anger on both sides of the Atlantic, culminating in the irreversible descent into revolution.

EICHMANN BEFORE JERUSALEM: The Unexamined Life of a Mass Murderer by Bettina Stangneth (Vintage • 608 pages • On Sale: 8/18/15 • Price: $17.95 • ISBN: 9780307950161). A New York Times Notable Book. A National Jewish Book Award finalist. In 1960, Adolf Eichmann took to the defendant's box in Jerusalem and insisted that he was no "manager of the Holocaust," as his accusers claimed, just a smalltime bureaucrat following orders. Like countless others, Hannah Arendt-covering the trials for The New Yorker-believed him. EICHMANN BEFORE JERUSALEM challenges this history for the first time, completely reassessing Eichmann's story and drawing upon a wealth of newly uncovered materials that reveal his great deception, as well as bringing to light shocking truths about Nazis in the post-war world. Mapping out the astonishing links between innumerable past adherents-from ace Luftwaffe pilots to SS henchmen-both in exile and in Germany, Bettina Stangneth reconstructs in detail the secret life of one of the Holocaust's principal organizers.

THE MARQUIS: Lafayette Reconsidered by Laura Auricchio (Vintage • 448 pages • On Sale: 8/18/15 • Price: $16.95 • ISBN: 9780307387455). The Marquis de Lafayette at age nineteen volunteered to fight under George Washington and became the French hero of the American Revolution. In this major biography Laura Auricchio looks past the storybook hero and selfless champion of righteous causes who cast aside family and fortune to advance the transcendent aims of liberty and fully reveals a man driven by dreams of glory only to be felled by tragic, human weaknesses. Drawing on substantial new research conducted in libraries, archives, museums, and private homes in France and the United States, Auricchio, gives us history on a grand scale revealing the man and his complex life, while challenging and exploring the complicated myths that have surrounded his name for more than two centuries.

SEVEN BAD IDEAS: How Mainstream Economists Have Damaged America and the World by Jeff Madrick (Vintage • 272 pages • On Sale: 8/18/15 • Price: $15.95 • ISBN: 9780307950727). From the former economics columnist for Harper's and The New York Times, a bold indictment of some of our most accepted mainstream economic theories-why they're wrong, and how they've been harming America and the world. Ideas have the power to change history. But what happens when they are bad? In a tour de force of economics, history, and analysis, Jeff Madrick shows how theories on austerity, inflation, and efficient markets have become unassailable mantras over recent years, to the detriment of the country as a whole. Working backwards from the Great Recession, Madrick pulls no punches as he reconsiders seven of the greatest false idols of modern economic theory, from Say's Law to Milton Friedman, illustrating how these ideas have been damaging markets, infrastructure, and individual livelihoods for years. Trenchant, sweeping, and empirical, SEVEN BAD IDEAS resoundingly disrupts the status quo of modern economic theory.

THE TEACHER WARS: A History of America's Most Embattled Profession by Dana Goldstein (Anchor • 384 pages • On Sale: 8/4/15 • Price: $16.00 • ISBN: 9780345803627). A New York Times Bestseller. In her groundbreaking history of 175 years of American education, Dana Goldstein finds answers in the past to the controversies that plague our public schools today. In THE TEACHER WARS, a rich, lively, and unprecedented history of public school teaching, Dana Goldstein reveals that teachers have been embattled for nearly two centuries. She uncovers the surprising roots of hot button issues, from teacher tenure to charter schools, and finds that recent popular ideas to improve schools-instituting merit pay, evaluating teachers by student test scores, ranking and firing veteran teachers, and recruiting "elite" graduates to teach-are all approaches that have been tried in the past without producing widespread change. THE TEACHER WARS upends the conversation about American education by bringing the lessons of history to bear on the dilemmas we confront today. By asking "How did we get here?" Dana Goldstein brilliantly illuminates the path forward.

THE TELLING by Jo Baker (Vintage • 368 pages • On Sale: 9/1/15 • Price: $15.95 •ISBN: 9780804172653). After her mother dies, Rachel sets off alone to pack up and sell off the remnants of her family's isolated country house. Leaving behind her husband and baby daughter, she tells herself the process will only take a few weeks, but from the moment she steps through the front door, Rachel feels that the house contains more than she had expected. A century earlier, a young housemaid, Lizzy, called the same dwelling home. On course for a life of service no different from her mother and her mother's mother before her, Lizzy's world is upended by the arrival of a mysterious lodger. Interweaving the two narratives, Baker brings these women, both struggling against their stations and their duties, vividly to life. A ghost story of the most unusual kind, THE TELLING reads like a spiritual sister to Longbourn. It's the kind of book that will keep readers up at night or glued to their beach chairs until the last page is turned. And what could be more welcome than that?

ALL THAT YOU'VE SEEN HERE IS GOD: New Versions of Four Greek Tragedies Sophocles' Ajax, Philoctetes, Women of Trachis; Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound. Translated by Bryan Doerries (Vintage • 480 pages • On Sale: 9/1/15 • Price: $16.95 • ISBN: 9780307949738). These four new translations of plays by Sophocles and Aeschylus were specifically written by Bryan Doerries for his critically acclaimed Beyond the Wire productions which have played to tens of thousands of soldiers, prisoners and medical personnel around the world. These translations are striking for their immediacy and gut-wrenching impact--truly bringing to life these centuries' old plays. Ajax depicts the abrupt and precipitous mental disintegration of the strongest Greek warrior during the final year of the Trojan War. Prometheus Bound is a play about a god who is sentenced by Zeus to solitary confinement, chained to a cliff at the end of the earth, for giving fire to mortals. Prometheus spends the entire play attempting to provoke an immoral response in his captors, in order to prove his moral superiority to them. Prometheus succeeds when, at the end of the play, he is buried alive in an avalanche of rocks. Women of Trachis, a play in which a terminally ill father asks his son to end his life, begging him to be his "doctor." The play Philoctetes is about a man who is abandoned by his friends for nine long years on a desolate island after contracting a mysterious and debilitating illness.
