To Winning at Chess

The Secret Ingredient

It&#8217;s a Comedy of Errors for the hip-hop generation, as misunderstandings and trickery separate lovers meant to be together but sabotaged by well-meaning friends, jealous ex-lovers, and the destructive secrets of their proud and misguided families. Brady (The Bum Magnet) reprises her sassy, headstrong, successful realtor heroine Charisse, now getting ready to tie the knot with savvy G-man Kevin. But first, the couple will have to face down the myriad roadblocks hurled their way: Charisse&#8217;s trust issues, triggered by a bad marriage, her long-missing father, and brothers she never knew she had; a sneaky lover-in-waiting; Charisse&#8217;s secretive mom; and Kevin&#8217;s conniving baby mama and the love child they share. Charisse jumps to one wrong conclusion after another&#8212;offering a proclamation that gives this book its title&#8212;in the outlandish, comic, and charming tradition of the Bard himself. Brady updates an old theme for a new audience and finds a thoroughly modern tale of grown-up love, the endurance of friendship, and the strains&#8212;and comfort&#8212;of family.  - Publisher's Weekly &#8220;Brady draws readers in immediately from the prologue and propels them straight through the drama, humor and the various twists and turns that will leave you exhausted but satisfied at the end of the novel. Charisse is not your typical heroine and that may be the strongest part of the story.&#8221; 4 Star Review - Romantic Times

Got a Right to Be Wrong

This is the first book to show just when and where the music-making we call 'popular music' first appeared internationally. Professor Scott surveys the music business and moral issues over popular songs with a suave sophistication, and then looks deeper into blackface minstrels, music-hall Cockneys, and Montmartre cabarets. Scholars in many fields will find this history invaluable.

Praise for The Ranger&ldquo;I have always been impressed with (jealous of) how easy Ace Atkins makes it look. The Ranger is by far his best work...I hope Quinn Colson and Lillie Virgil stick around for a good long time.&rdquo;&mdash;Michael Connelly&ldquo;Atkins has written a bunch of great thrillers, but this one sets up a series that should push him to the top of the bestseller list.&rdquo;&mdash;John Sandford&ldquo;Goes for extreme thrills, complemented by in-depth character studies and a view to the motives that turn ordinary people corrupt. Lee Child's Jack Reacher and Greg Iles's Penn Cage will find a kindred spirit in U.S. Army Ranger Quinn Colson, Atkins's new take-charge hero.&rdquo;&mdash;South Florida Sun-Sentinel&ldquo;A dark, headlong crime story set in the Mississippi hill country and teeming with corrupt officials, murderous meth dealers and Southern&#160;femmes fatales.&rdquo;&mdash;St. Petersburg Times&ldquo;Southern-fried noir.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;Has the down-and-dirty vibe of a &rsquo;70s drive-in action picture.&rdquo;&mdash;Dallas Morning News &ldquo;[His] estimable ranger may bring to mind Lee Child&rsquo;s hard fisted, soft hearted Jack Reacher, which is entirely a good thing.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews &#160; &ldquo;Give this one to Stephen Hunter fans who like fast-moving plots and decisive good guys facing down evil.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal &#160; &ldquo;Atkins kicks off a new series with a solid action packed yarn...Greg Iles fans will find much to like.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers WeeklyMore Praise For Ace Atkins&rsquo;s Quinn Colson Series&ldquo;In Quinn Colson, bestselling author Ace Atkins has created an American hero in a time when we need him.&rdquo;&mdash;C. J. Box&#160;&ldquo;Ace Atkins&rsquo;s Quinn Colson series is, quite simply, the best in crime fiction today&mdash;and also so much more. With a rich cast of characters, and a hero we can count on, these are tales of morality and desperation, of shocking violence and the enduring resilience of family and community. And the emotional places they take us make them unforgettable.&rdquo;&mdash;Megan Abbott&#160;&ldquo;Quinn Colson is my kind of guy. I would follow him anywhere.&rdquo;&mdash;Lee Child&#160;&ldquo;Atkins finds his natural-born storytellers everywhere. It&rsquo;s all music to these ears.&rdquo;&mdash;Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
