Book excerpt: Owning a haunted bed and breakfast is great for Holly Davis’s business. But calming the ghosts of her own past could be deadly . . . To Louisiana locals, the prime sliver of land that butts up to St. Agnes Bayou has become just another tourist trap. Not so for Holly Davis. Her ancestors are still buried on the land and sinking ever deeper into the swamp with each passing hurricane season. Now that old man Dubois’s go-to shack for live crawfish is on the market, Holly’s ready to hock everything to buy it. As the owner of a haunted B&B, Holly knows for a fact that the spirits won’t be settled until she does. But before Holly can close the deal, Dubois’s body disappears into the swamp after a deadly boating accident. Holly and her boyfriend Jack McCann have good reason to suspect Jarvis, one of the rightful heirs to the property. With Dubois’s body missing, and a murderer working the bayou, the cemetery and all its mossy ghosts are in limbo. And until Holly finds the killer, not a soul—including hers—is going to rest in peace.

Book excerpt: "A master of both distilled insight and utter nonsense" (The Believer), Ian Frazier is one of the most gifted chroniclers of contemporary America. Hogs Wild assembles a decade's worth of his finest essays and reportage, and demonstrates the irrepressible passions and artful digressions that distinguish his enduring body of work. Part muckraker, part adventurer, and part raconteur, Frazier beholds, captures, and occasionally reimagines the spirit of the American experience. He travels down South to examine feral hogs, and learns that their presence in any county is a strong indicator that it votes Republican. He introduces us to a man who, when his house is hit by a supposed meteorite, hopes to "leverage" the space object into opportunity for his family, and a New York City police detective who is fascinated with rap-music-related crimes. Alongside Frazier's delight in the absurdities of contemporary life is his sense of social responsibility: there's an echo of the great reform-minded writers in his pieces on a soup kitchen, opioid overdose deaths on Staten Island, and the rise in homelessness in New York City under Mayor Bloomberg. In each dizzying discovery, Hogs Wild unearths the joys of inquiry without agenda, curiosity without calculation. To read Frazier is to become a kind of social and political anthropologist--astute and deeply engaged.

Book excerpt: A mystery “written with an incredible Southern twist . . . Page turning, fun, and filled with suspense—and very unique characters” (Heather Graham, New York Times–bestselling author). As the owner of a charming Louisiana bed and breakfast, Holly Davis believes in Southern hospitality—but she draws the line at welcoming the ghost of her cheating husband . . . Burl Davis checked out of this life a little earlier than expected—before Holly could serve him with divorce papers over his extramarital flings. Unfortunately, it was not before he nearly bankrupted her beloved B&B, Holly Grove, a converted plantation that has been in her family for generations. Holly would never wish anyone dead, but three months later she’s feeling a lot more relief than grief. Until Burl’s ghost appears as an unwelcome guest. Before his spirit can move on, her not-so-dearly departed needs Holly’s human help to bust up the drug smuggling ring he was involved with. She has reservations, to say the least, but agrees to assist him if he’ll make a show of haunting the B&B to draw in visitors. But when Holly’s former love, Jack McCann, mysteriously resurfaces in town and checks in, she has to wonder if her B&B is big enough for the ghost of her husband and the very real physical presence of her old flame . . . “A romp of a ride . . . Delta Ridge more than delivers its share of eccentric characters, venal criminals, and laugh-out-loud moments.” —Kings River Life Magazine “Impossible to put down—a sassy Southern romp of a read.” —Susan M. Boyer, USA Today–bestselling author
