This Cursed Beautiful Land
The revelatory, much-anticipated memoir from the Wall Street Journal reporter who was wrongly imprisoned in Putin's Russia for more than a year - a glimpse inside the perils and contradictions of a country in the midst of autocracyIn March 2023, a year after Russia invaded Ukraine, Evan Gershkovich met with a union boss connected with a Russian tank factory. As the journalist sat with his source in an empty restaurant in an industrial city 900 miles east of Moscow, a squad of masked agents charged in, blindfolded Evan, and dragged him into an unmarked van. The agents were from the FSB, Putin's powerful security service, and the successor to the Soviet-era KGB.Five years earlier, Evan had arrived in Moscow to jumpstart his journalism career.His parents had left the Soviet Union in the 1970s, forging a middle-class life in New Jersey, where Evan grew up on Soviet-era cartoons and weekend trips to Brighton Beach. In Moscow, Evan dove into life - unpacking politics for readers of The Moscow Times and developing a circle of deep friendships with Russian peers, all striving to make their way in perilous times.Western journalists had long felt insulated from the dangers their Russian counterparts experienced. But war, it seemed, had changed the rules.Interrogated for hours after his arrest, Evan was told he was being charged with spying and thrown in Moscow's notorious Lefortovo prison - a pawn in a geopolitical chess match.After his world suddenly shrunk to a tiny, cement-walled cell, Evan did something remarkable: he continued reporting. For the next sixteen months, he documented a life in Russia that few Westerners will ever experience: its sprawling prison system, with its own vocabulary and customs - and surprising pockets of humanity.In writing by turns riveting and humorous, Evan brings readers inside the events leading to his arrest, his nearly 500 days in Russian prisons, and the blockbuster, multi-country prisoner swap that freed him. More than a prison memoir, This Cursed Beautiful Land is an extraordinary, deeply reported chronicle of a misunderstood people and their land - marked at once by stunning beauty and a haunting history.

When I Kill You
‘The challenge is to separate dangerous reality from paranoia in this unsettling, pulse-racing tale’ Louise Candlish
*****
Who is watching Nell Masters?
Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she’s hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own.
Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger’s car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path …
Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?

Days later, a draft letter lands on his doormat, calling him up to fight in the Vietnam War.Lee then makes the first political decision of his life: he will leave the country and head for the border.He kisses his girlfriend for the last time and signs up at a drive-away car delivery service and scores a Jaguar bound for the East Coast. He takes with him only a single suitcase and a bag of amphetamines to speed his course.But Lee knows he can't slip the country without saying the rest of his goodbyes.In four different towns strung out along the country, Lee visits each member of his family: his father, a World War Two veteran in a state of degradation; his mother, engaged in a buoyantly manic and never-ending performance with her shut-in sibling; his heartbroken, misanthropic brother Harry; and finally his twin sister Grace, a brash, young nurse-in-training mired in romantic drama at a Manhattan psychiatric hospital. He's speeding towards his future, and yet the past keeps rising up to meet him. Will he make it across the border the same man as when he started this journey?A sweeping portrait of a country in flux and a family in disarray, Dodge City is a beautiful and raucous exploration of family, belonging, love and war.It confirms deWitt as one of our most brilliant satirists and a novelist of staggering heart.
