DEATH OF THE BLACK HAIRED GIRL
STONE, ROBERT
In an elite college in a once-decaying New England city, Steven Brookman has come to a decision. A
brilliant but careless professor, he has determined that for the sake of his marriage, and his soul, he must
extract himself from his relationship with Maud Stack, his electrifying student, whose papers are always
late and too long yet always incandescent. But Maud is a young woman whose passions are not easily
contained or curtailed, and their union will quickly yield tragic and far-reaching consequences. As in
Robert Stone’s most acclaimed novels, here he conjures a complex moral universe where nothing is
black and white, even if the characters—always complicated, always compelling—wish it were. The
stakes of Brookman and Maud’s relationship prove higher than either one could have anticipated, pitting
individuals against one another and against the institutions meant to protect them.

WHITE, RANDY WAYNE
A twenty-year-old unsolved murder from Florida’s pothauling days gets Hannah Smith’s attention, but so
does a more immediate problem. A private museum devoted solely to the state’s earliest settlers and
pioneers has been announced, and many of Hannah’s friends and neighbors in Sulfur Wells are being
pressured to make contributions. The problem is, the whole thing is a scam, and when Hannah sets out to
uncover whoever’s behind it, she discovers that things are even worse than she thought. The museum
scam is a front for a real estate power play, her entire village is in danger of being wiped out—and the
forces behind it have no intention of letting anything, or anyone, stand in their way.
