Margaret Lennox sold her home in Washington, D.C. and moved to Marfa, Texas, hoping to escape the insanity, the crime, and the traffic of our nation’s capital. Marfa was a place that welcomed artists, and Margaret hoped to find a quiet life there. But the Marfa Lights were not the only mysterious thing to worry about in this small Texas town. As soon as she moved into her renovated cottage on Austin Street, the bodies began to pile up. A mysterious woman was murdered and thrown from a train behind Margaret’s house. She discovered one of the woman’s shoes in the brush, and the shoe was full of money. Her neighbors and a neighbor’s cat were poisoned. What was happening in this sleepy, remote place that was supposed to be her respite from crime and stress? Margaret’s curiosity moved her to investigate, with the help of her friend Augustus Gemini, the disturbing events that were occurring in Marfa. The Texas Rangers did not appreciate Margaret’s involvement. Meanwhile, Darnell Jackson, formerly known as Zeus Noonday Miracle, decides that finding Fountain, a long-lost piece of sculpture from 1917, is the key to making him a rich man. He sets out on a quest to track down this famous and long-lost work of art by Marcel Duchamp. As his search for the illusive Fountain becomes more frustrating, his vagabond life deteriorates, and he becomes desperate enough to kill. Possession of the most influential work of art of the twentieth century remains just out of Darnell’s grasp as he hunts down his prey in Marfa.

An Ariadne French Mystery. Cozy soft-boiled mystery set in Marfa, Texas, among the Marfa Mystery Lights and a cast of eccentrics. Gentle humor in the style of Joan Hess, Donna Andrews, and especially Anne George's "Southern Sisters" mysteries. Ariadne French and her older sister Zoe are co-sleuths in this suspenseful tale. Ari's long-time boyfriend leaves to build them a log cabin in Montana--but then she loses touch with him. His cell phone is disconnected and there's no forwarding address. A call from Marfa, Texas, comes to tell her that Aaron is dead under suspicious circumstances and that she's his sole heir. Traveling to help clear up his estate, Ari encounters oddball eccentrics and a crazy town that trades on its fame as the home of the Marfa Mystery Lights. Ari's not a believer until the Lights chase her and her guide (a mystical Native American lawyer) through the desert one night. Still, the suspects in Aaron's death are purely human. Aaron had developed a new public-key encryption scheme twice as fast as the ones currently in use, and several corporations had been negotiating to license it. The source code is missing--and Ari believes that when she finds it (he must have backed it up somewhere, knowing Aaron), she'll find Aaron's murderer. Can she and her sister find the code and the killer--without the killer getting to them first?

When United Airlines workers reported a UFO at O'Hare Airport in November 2006, it was met with the typical denials and hush-up that usually accompany such sightings. But when a related story broke the record for hits at the Chicago Tribune's website, it was clear that such unexplained objects continued to occupy the minds of fascinated readers. Why, wonders Thomas Bullard, don't such persistent sightings command more urgent attention from scientists, scholars, and mainstream journalists? The answer, in part, lies in Bullard's wide-ranging magisterial survey of the mysterious, frustrating, and ever-evolving phenomenon that refuses to go away and our collective efforts to understand it. In his trailblazing book, Bullard views those efforts through the lens of mythmaking, discovering what UFO accounts tell us about ourselves, our beliefs, and the possibility of visitors from beyond. Bullard shows how ongoing grassroots interest in UFOs stems both from actual personal experiences and from a cultural mythology that defines such encounters as somehow "alien"-and how it views relentless official denial as a part of conspiracy to hide the truth. He also describes how UFOs have catalyzed the evolution of a new but highly fractured belief system that borrows heavily from the human past and mythic themes and which UFO witnesses and researchers use to make sense of such phenomena and our place in the cosmos. Bullard's book takes in the whole spectrum of speculations on alien visitations and abductions, magically advanced technologies, governmental conspiracies, varieties of religious salvation, apocalyptic fears, and other paranormal experiences. Along the way, Bullard investigates how UFOs have inspired books, movies, and television series; blurred the boundaries between science, science fiction, and religion; and crowded the Internet with websites and discussion groups. From the patches of this crazy quilt, he posits evidence that a genuine phenomenon seems to exist outside the myth. Enormously erudite and endlessly engaging, Bullard's study is a sky watcher's guide to the studies, stories, and debates that this elusive subject has inspired. It shows that, despite all the competing interests and errors clouding the subject, there is substance beneath the clutter, a genuinely mysterious phenomenon that deserves attention as more than a myth.

Why do some men become convinced—despite what doctors tell them—that their penises have, simply, disappeared. Why do people across the world become convinced that they are cursed to die on a particular date—and then do? Why do people in Malaysia suddenly “run amok”? In The Geography of Madness, acclaimed magazine writer Frank Bures investigates these and other “culture-bound” syndromes, tracing each seemingly baffling phenomenon to its source. It’s a fascinating, and at times rollicking, adventure that takes the reader around the world and deep into the oddities of the human psyche. What Bures uncovers along the way is a poignant and stirring story of the persistence of belief, fear, and hope.

Kamila Shamsie, author of Home Fire One warm night Oliver Loving joins his classmates at the annual school dance, hoping for a glimpse of the girl he's long been in love with.

His town has withered, its people unable to forget.

A compelling examination of the art museum from a renowned director, this sweeping book explores how architecture, vision, and funding have transformed art museums around the world over the past eighty years. How have art museums changed in the past century? Where are they headed in the future? Charles Saumarez Smith is uniquely qualified to answer these questions, having been at the helm of three major institutions over the course of his distinguished career. For The Art Museum in Modern Times, Saumarez Smith has undertaken an odyssey, visiting art museums across the globe and examining how the experience of art is shaped by the buildings that house it. His story starts with the Museum of Modern Art in New York, one of the first museums to focus squarely on the art of the present rather than the past. When it opened in 1939, MoMA’s boldly modernist building represented a stark riposte to the neoclassicism of most earlier art museums. From there, Saumarez Smith investigates dozens of other museums, including the Tate Modern in London, the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the West Bund Museum in Shanghai, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. He explores our shifting reasons for visiting museums, changes to the way exhibits are organized and displayed, and the spectacular new architectural landmarks that have become destinations in their own right. Global in scope yet full of personal insight, this fully illustrated celebration of the modern art museum will appeal to art lovers, museum professionals, and museum goers alike.
