Chasing Aphrodite

The Hunt for Looted Antiquities at the World's Richest Museum

By: Jason Felch,Ralph Frammolino

A “thrilling, well-researched” account of years of scandal at the prestigious Getty Museum (Ulrich Boser, author of The Gardner Heist). In recent years, several of America’s leading art museums have voluntarily given up their finest pieces of classical art to the governments of Italy and Greece. Why would they be moved to such unheard-of generosity? The answer lies at the Getty, one of the world’s richest and most troubled museums, and scandalous revelations that it had been buying looted antiquities for decades. Drawing on a trove of confidential museum records and candid interviews, these two journalists give us a fly-on-the-wall account of the inner workings of a world-class museum, and tell a story of outlandish characters and bad behavior that could come straight from the pages of a thriller. “In an authoritative account, two reporters who led a Los Angeles Times investigation reveal the details of the Getty Museum’s illicit purchases, from smugglers and fences, of looted Greek and Roman antiquities. . . . The authors offer an excellent recap of the museum’s misdeeds, brimming with tasty details of the scandal that motivated several of America’s leading art museums to voluntarily return to Italy and Greece some 100 classical antiquities worth more than half a billion dollars.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “An astonishing and penetrating look into a veiled world where beauty and art are in constant competition with greed and hypocrisy. This engaging book will cast a fresh light on many of those gleaming objects you see in art museums.” —Jonathan Harr, author of The Lost Painting

Desert Bleeds Red

A Novel of the East

By: Jason S. Hornsby

A supernatural journey through China reveals a haunting vision of humanity in this epic horror novel inspired by the King Solomon legends. A Southern gentleman living in Beijing, Logan Solomon’s history of shady business deals has involved him with some rough characters—some who might not even be human. Now he and his wife Li Na are embarking on a dangerous trip south with some peculiar company: an old friend from Georgia who may or may not be clairvoyant; a tattooed sociopath with glowing red eyes; and a tall man in black who loves waxing philosophic when he’s not transforming into a spiral. When Li Na goes missing in the bamboo forests of Sichuan, Solomon conjures dark forces to help him get her back—a decision that may cost numerous lives, including his own. On their journey west to find her, Solomon and the others will encounter villainous doppelgangers, whorehouse succubae, satanic congregations, secret government installations, forgotten ruins, and countless cities reduced to rubble.

Zoey Is Too Drunk for This Dystopia

By: Jason Pargin

Zoey is Too Drunk for This Dystopia is the latest installment in New York Times bestselling author Jason Pargin's thrilling Zoey Ashe sci-fi series. Zoey Ashe wakes up every day feeling like she’s trying to steer a battleship while tied to the propeller. The twenty-three-year-old heiress to a criminal empire is navigating a futuristic world of high-tech liars and cutthroats, forced to learn the rules of a devious game she never asked to play. Now she’s facing a crisis that is both bigger and stranger than all that came before: The gleaming new city of Tabula Ra$a is hosting its massive annual music festival, which every year precedes the equally massive annual drunken riot. This is all organized by Zoey's people, including the riot. As her advisors explain, the citizens need a little controlled chaos now and then. Zoey, however, fears the chaos will not stay controlled for long. When a horrific crime is broadcast live on an all-seeing social network, Zoey and her team suspect a carefully-stage hoax arranged by one of the Tabula Ra$a’s shadowy power players. But in a city in which lies are always served in layers, even that explanation will prove far too simple.
