Als ein Teenager aus der mysteriösen Heiler-Kommune seines Vaters in der Mojave-Wüste flüchtet, setzt er damit eine spektakuläre Reihe von Ereignissen in Gang, an deren Ende sich die Wege von mehreren Personen kreuzen, die allesamt ihrer Vergangenheit entfliehen wollen. Da ist der Mörder Ren, der in L. A. seine Mutter sucht, Britt, die ein dunkles Geheimnis mit sich trägt, Tony, ein unglücklicher Anwalt kurz vor dem Nervenzusammenbruch, und da sind die Gewalttäter Sam und Blake, die sich im Wonder Valley verstecken. Unter der gnadenlosen Sonne Kaliforniens knallen die Schicksale der verlorenen Seelen auf eine schockierende Weise aufeinander, wie es nur in dieser so betörenden wie gefährlichen Metropole möglich ist - ein mit visionärer literarischer Kraft geschriebenes Porträt von Los Angeles, eine Bestandsaufnahme der Hoffnungen unserer Gegenwart, aber auch ein Thriller voller Twists mit einem grandiosen Finale.

You might have passed through there, maybe. Out for a drive with time on your hands you might have noticed the abandoned homestead shacks crumbling along a grid of dirt tracks scraped into this corner of the Mojave Desert. Wonder Valley. It's a place peopled by a menagerie of misfits and miscreants, artists and retirees, methheads and the otherwise marginalized. They live in the derelict cabins, fixing them up, some, or just making do in others. Author William Hillyard came to Wonder Valley to investigate the death of an old woman who had succumbed, alone, to the dry desert heat. From his first encounter, however, Wonder Valley had a hold on him. He found it haunting and otherworldly, almost unbelievable in its strangeness. It was like a lost island, a desert Galapagos in a sea of sand. In its isolation a people had evolved, a breed apart from mainstream society, many of them living on this edge, the edge of an abyss, an abyss Hillyard felt he needed to peer down into. Hillyard appointed himself Wonder Valley's Darwin. He spent years in Wonder Valley immersed in and documenting the resilience and humanity of these people in the face of mental illness, alcoholism, poverty, and neglect, until the line between his reporting on and becoming one of them blurred. In the vein of Hillbilly Elegy and the work of Michael Perry and writers like William Vollman, Ted Conover, and William Finnegan, it explores a darker side of the American dream, a side so pervasive, yet so largely unacknowledged by major media. Interwoven with the memoir of Hillyard's own fall and recovery from financial and personal crises, the book looks at life in a place where the safety net barely exists and falling through the cracks is too often fatal.

You might have passed through here, maybe. Thought you'd stick to the blue roads, hit the casinos of Vegas by the back way. As you blew through this nowhere corner of the Mojave Desert you might have noticed the rat-trap shacks rotting into the sparse hardscrabble of greasewood scrub. And you'd have thought, "What the hell is this place?"

As a child I would go daily to the mountains of Daegu and look at the valley down below and wonder. I have always led a life of self-reflection. I have always questioned, querried, quizzed. So much so that my friends gave me the title of Chief Criticism Officer. This book is a collection of business advice that I have come to believe during my life long habit of observations and from my experiences with both success and failure. I hope that you, as the budding entrepreneur or the savvy executive, will enjoy and benefit from these musings about life and business.

Als die Polizei einen unbewaffneten schwarzen Teenager erschießt, brechen in Los Angeles Unruhen aus, die Erinnerungen an den Fall Rodney King wachrufen. Inmitten dieser aufgeheizten Atmosphäre müssen sich zwei Familien ihrer Vergangenheit stellen. Grace Park, 27, arbeitet in der familieneigenen Apotheke, ihre aus Korea eingewanderten Eltern haben ihr immer ein behütetes Leben geboten. Doch dann erfährt Grace, dass ihre Mutter vor dreißig Jahren Ava Matthews erschoss – sie hatte die junge Schwarze fälschlicherweise für eine Ladendiebin gehalten und kam vor Gericht mit einem sehr milden Urteil davon. Shawn Matthews, Avas Bruder, hat Politik und Protest inzwischen abgeschworen, doch die aktuellen Ereignisse brechen alte Wunden auf. Als ein weiteres schockierendes Verbrechen die Stadt erschüttert, wird Shawn mit der Frage konfrontiert, ob wirklich alle in seiner Familie ihre Dämonen im Griff haben ...

Red Hook, Brooklyn/New York: ein Arbeiterviertel kurz vor der Gentrifizierung. Es ist Sommer. Die Hitze drückt. Aus Langeweile beschließen die beiden Teenager June und Val, auf einem Plastikfloß aufs Meer hinauszupaddeln. In der Schwärze der Nacht gehen sie verloren, und nur Val überlebt. Halb bewusstlos und verletzt wird sie an Land gespült. Das tragische Ereignis geht nicht spurlos an den Bewohnern des Viertels vorbei. Unter ihnen Cree, ein aus der Spur geratener Jugendlicher, der sich zum Hauptverdächtigen der Polizei macht, Fadi, ein aufstrebender libanesischer Bodega-Besitzer, der aus der Trauersituation Profit schlagen will, und Jonathan, ein gescheiterter Musiker, der mit seinen zerstörten Träumen und den Sünden seiner Vergangenheit zu kämpfen hat. In einer kristallklaren Sprache erzählt Ivy Pochoda von der menschlichen Zerbrechlichkeit und Widerstandskraft, von Hoffnungsschimmern in der Trostlosigkeit – und einem dunklen Geheimnis, das Visitation Street bis zur letzten Seite zum hoch spannenden Thriller macht.
