Andy walked around the bar counter. “I’m happy. I need…want a normal life. It was nice seeing you, though.” “Happy? You?” Kate asked. “Aren’t you bored to tears?” Claire stepped forward, lifting the coat as if to give it to Kate. Andy caught the glimmer of black steel underneath the cashmere. Shit, she hadn't seen that coming. She scrambled onto the nearest bar stool, gunning for the Sig Sauer P266 hidden in her office, when the Taser zapped her in the back. Imagine knowing someone is going to die. Dreaming it. Almost feeling the knife slip in… Will you try to prevent it if you can? Andy Bouchard was a keeper.

When Robert Meek set off for the verdant onion fields in Northern Mexico, he had no idea that this trip would be any different than over one hundred other trips he had made to Latin America. But within 48 hours of his arrival, he would be kidnapped and held for ransom by a ruthless Mexican drug cartel. What ensued was a horrific descent into a real-life nightmare of emotional terrorism at the hands of the most evil men Robert had ever encountered. Their constant threats and taunts chipped away at his hope to the point of utter despair. But just as he was about to abandon himself to certain destruction, a series of miracles began to unfold, leading to a conclusion he never could have imagined. This is his story. Yes, it is a story of terror and despair, but it is also a story of faith and hope and love. It is impossible to go through something like this without experiencing all the good and all the evil that exists in the world. One more chance was what Robert Meek prayed for during his captivity. What he didn't realize was how many others would be similarly impacted by the answer to that prayer.

A candid and colorful memoir by the singer, songwriter, and “Duchess of Coolsville” (Time). This troubadour life is only for the fiercest hearts, only for those vessels that can be broken to smithereens and still keep beating out the rhythm for a new song . . . Last Chance Texaco is the first-ever no-holds-barred account of the life of two-time Grammy Award-winner and Rickie Lee Jones in her own words (Hilton Als). It is a tale of desperate chances and impossible triumphs, an adventure story of a girl who beat the odds and grew up to become one of the most legendary artists of her time, turning adversity and hopelessness into timeless music. With candor and lyricism, she takes us on a singular journey through her nomadic childhood, her years as a teenage runaway, her legendary love affair with Tom Waits, and ultimately her longevity as the hardest working woman in rock and roll. Rickie Lee’s stories are rich with the infamous characters of her early songs—“Chuck E’s in Love,” “Weasel and the White Boys Cool,” “Danny’s All-Star Joint,” and “Easy Money”—but long before her notoriety in show business, there was a vaudevillian cast of hitchhikers, bank robbers, jail breaks, drug mules, and a pimp with a heart of gold, and tales of her fabled ancestors. This intimate memoir by one of the most trailblazing and tenacious women in music is filled with never-before-told stories of the girl in the raspberry beret, whose songs defied categorization and inspired American pop culture for decades. “A striking, distinctive self-portrait.” —The New York Times “Terrific . . . Jones is as fearless in prose as she is on stage.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Men leave, fame fizzles, family breaks your heart . . . but Jones knows a good story and how to tell it.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “[The] premiere song-stylist and songwriter of her generation.” —Hilton Als, Pulitzer Prize–winner and author of White Girls
