STRAY BULLETS (Simon & Schuster Canada, May 2012) Hardcover/Trade Paperback (304 pages) A Globe and Mail Bestseller! The third title in Robert Rotenberg's bestselling legal thriller series set on the streets—and in the courtrooms--of Toronto. On a dark evening in November, Cedric Wilkinson is taking his four-year-old son to a doughnut shop, before they go to visit his wife, who is in the hospital expecting their second child. Just as they approach the front door, an old Cadillac pulls into the parking lot behind them. Seconds later, shots ring out, and Wilkinson’s son falls to the pavement. In STRAY BULLETS, Robert Rotenberg brings back lawyer Nancy Parish to defend her oldest and most difficult client, Larkin St. Clair, charged with the murder of a child. It’s a case that has all of Toronto in an uproar. The evidence against St. Clair seems overwhelming, but he insists that for once in his life he’s not guilty. Ralph Armitage, the newly appointed head Crown Attorney, takes the case to prove he’s up to winning a big-time trial. He’ll do just about anything to win. But Detective Ari Greene has doubts they’ve got the right guy and, even as the trial is going on, is still digging for the truth. Robert Rotenberg is one of Toronto's top criminal lawyers. He lives in Toronto with his wife, television news producer Vaune Davis, and their three children. Praise for Robert Rotenberg: “Rotenberg is Canada's John Grisham.” –New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal “A few lawyers are really expert in managing cases—especially criminal cases—in the courtroom. A small percentage of these are very good at making trials come alive. Robert Rotenberg is one of the few, along with Scott Turow, David Baldacci, and John Lescroart.” –F. Lee Bailey “Rotenberg has crafted an idealistic but gripping—and distinctly Canadian—portrait of how justice does and does not get done.” –The London Free Press Rights sold: Polish: Proszynski

Smith, Brad SHOOT THE DOG A Virgil Cain Mystery (Book #3) (Scribner/S&S Canada Trade Paperback, July 2013) Manuscript (320 pages) From a writer who “rivals Elmore Leonard at his best” (Publishers Weekly) comes the third novel in the Virgil Cain series—a riveting story that opens with the discovery of the body of a movie star near the Hudson River. In upstate New York, Virgil Cain's draft horses are pulling hay in the fields when two film scouts offer him $500 a day for their use in a film. He pockets the money, but the chaotic set of Frontier Woman turns out to be more trouble than it’s worth. Producer Sam Jonson clearly has her heart in the wrong place with her husband-cum-director Robb, who costs her a major financier, not to mention the Native American casino owner Ronnie Red Hawk, who has a vested interest in an alternate leading lady. After one—and then a second—young woman is found dead, Virgil discovers that more is at stake than the interests of a casino magnate…and he’d better step in before the charming ten-year-old actress Georgia ends up the next victim of this deadly production.
“Smith has a marvelous control of his material, effortlessly mixing laugh-out-loud comedy with streaks of country noir.” –Booklist 
Smith, Brad CROW’S LANDING: A Virgil Cain Mystery (Book #2) (Scribner, August 2012) (Simon & Schuster Canada, August 2012) Trade Paperback, 320 pages Jack-of-all-trades Virgil Cain gets tangled up in an old crime surfacing from the waters of the Hudson River, in this second novel in a series from Brad Smith. For Virgil Cain, a day of fishing on the Hudson River yields more than he bargained for when, while pulling up anchor, he hooks onto a mysterious steel cylinder. As word of Virgil’s strange catch spreads around the local marina, it draws the attention of a crooked city cop, who seizes both the cylinder and Virgil's boat. Soon, an old drug deal gone sour floats to the surface, and to get to the bottom of it—and to get his boat back—Virgil teams up with a captivating single mom, Dusty, who knows far too much about the cylinder and the pure cocaine it contains. When her past comes calling, the landscape is soon cluttered with the dealer who claims ownership of the cylinder, his murderous sidekick, and a wild card in the form of a crazy Russian cowboy. Virgil and Dusty find themselves trapped square in the middle of it all. And looking for a way out. Brad Smith was born and raised in southern Ontario. He has worked as a farmer, signalman, insulator, truck driver, bartender, schoolteacher, maintenance mechanic, roofer, and carpenter. He lives in an eighty-year-old farmhouse near the north shore of Lake Erie. His novel, One-Eyed Jacks, was nominated for the Dashiell Hammett Prize. Praise: “Rivals Elmore Leonard at his best.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review “Brad Smith has got the goods—he’s funny, poignant, evocative, and he tells a blistering tale.” –Dennis Lehane “A writer with lots of skill, lots of heart, lots of brains.” –Richard Russo
“[Smith] knows how to put together an amusing mystery tale—one with a touch of romance to go with the rigor mortis.” –Guelph Mercury “[Smith’s] best creation is Cain, a rugged charmer.” –National Post W  ax, Wendy
WHILE WE WERE WATCHING DOWNTON ABBEY (Berkley Books/Penguin USA, April 2013) Manuscript (384 pages) World English rights with Berkley Books From Wendy Wax, the acclaimed author of Ten Beach Road and Ocean Beach, comes a new novel of friendship, love, and family—and a shared passion that could change their lives
When the concierge of a historic Atlanta apartment building invites his fellow residents to join him for weekly screenings of Downton Abbey, four very different people find themselves connecting with the addictive drama, and--even more unexpectedly--with each other… Samantha Davis married young and for the wrong reasons: the security of old Atlanta money—for herself and for her orphaned brother and sister. She never expected her marriage to be complicated by love and compromised by a shattering family betrayal. Claire Walker is now an empty nester and struggling author who left her home in the suburbs for the old world charm of The Alexander, and for a new and productive life. But she soon wonders if clinging to old dreams can be more destructive than having no dreams at all. And then there’s Brooke MacKenzie, a woman in constant battle with her faithless ex- husband, and who realizes that it’s time to take a deep breath and come to terms with the fact that her life is not the fairy tale she thought it would be.
For Samantha, Claire, Brooke—and Edward, who arranges the weekly gatherings--life is full of surprises as they forge a surprising bond that will sustain them through some of life’s hardest moments—all of it reflected in the unfolding drama, comedy, and convergent lives of Downton Abbey. Wendy Wax, a former broadcaster, lives in the Atlanta suburbs with her husband and two teenage sons, who have turned her into the shortest member of their family. She is the author of several books, including Ocean Beach and The Accidental Bestseller. A Selection of Previous Titles:

–Chris Grabenstein, Anthony and Agatha Award winning author Lundquist, Jenny THE PRINCESS IN THE OPAL MASK (Running Press Kids, Fall 2013) Manuscript due January 2013 (335 pages) An alternative take on the legend of The Man in the Iron Mask as told from the viewpoint of twin teenage girls Sixteen-year-old orphan Elara, who has lived her whole life as a servant, has never known her real name and has always felt like there was something missing. As if she was only half of a whole. But she never knew that she was quite literally missing her other half—that is, until she finds out about her long-lost identical twin sister Wilha. As an infant, Elara was handed over to the abusive Ogden family to serve as a maid to their spoiled daughter Serena. On a trip to the capitol city, Elara discovers that she not only has a twin sister, but that she is the daughter of Fennrick, King of Galandria, and was hidden away to protect their country from civil war. The higher-ups in the royal family separated the sisters at birth fearing that split heirs to the throne (and both girls at that) would cause chaos and disorder. So, Elara was hidden away as a servant, while her sister Wilha was removed from the line of succession and hidden in plain sight as masked royalty, forced to keep her face a secret. Soon Elara and Wilha find that the stability of two kingdoms rest squarely upon their untrained shoulders, and they are both thrust into lives they never knew existed. And they see that in order to secure peace for themselves and everyone else in Galandria, they both must become the princesses no one ever thought they could be. Told from the alternating first person POV of Elara and Wilha, THE PRINCESS IN THE OPAL MASK is a romance, an adventure, and a fairy tale. Jenny Lundquist is the author of two middle grade novels, Seeing Cinderella (Aladdin Mix, March 2012) and the forthcoming Plastic Polly (Aladdin Mix, March 2013). Jenny is a member of SCBWI and a graduate of the Institute of Children's Literature. 
Rich, Simon ELLIOT ALLAGASH (Young Adult) (Random House, May 2010) Trade Paperback, June 2011(240 pages) UK rights: Serpent’s Tail (via Random House) New York Times Editor’s Choice! Cunningly playful and wickedly funny, ELLIOT ALLAGASH is a tale about all the incredible things that money can buy, and the one or two things it that it can’t. Seymour Herson is the least popular student at Glendale, a private school in Manhattan. He’s painfully shy and physically inept, and his new nickname, “Chunk-Style,” is in danger of entering common usage. But Seymour’s solitary existence comes to a swift end when he meets the new transfer student: Elliot Allagash, evil heir to America’s largest fortune. Elliot’s rampant delinquency has already gotten him expelled from a dozen prep schools around the world. But despite his best efforts, he can’t get himself thrown out of Glendale; his father has simply donated too much money. Bitter and bored, Elliot decides to amuse himself by taking up a challenging and expensive new hobby: transforming Seymour into the most popular student in school. An unlikely friendship develops between the two loners as Elliot introduces Seymour to new concepts, like power, sabotage and vengeance. With Elliot as his diabolical strategist and investor, Seymour scores a spot on the basketball team, becomes class president, and ruthlessly destroys his enemies. Yet despite the glow of newfound popularity, Seymour feels increasingly uneasy with Elliot’s wily designs. For an Allagash victory is dishonorable at its best, and ruinous at its worst. Simon Rich has written for The New Yorker, GQ, Mad, The Harvard Lampoon and other magazines. He is the author of two humor collections, Free-Range Chickens and Ant Farm, which was a finalist for the 2008 Thurber Prize for American Humor. He lives in Brooklyn and writes for Saturday Night Live. Praise: “A lot of very successful adults I know still wish they could re-live high school as someone popular. Reading this hilarious morality tale about the cost of that popularity makes me happy that I went through my high school years as an outsider. And it makes me even happier that Simon Rich did.”—Seth Meyers, WGA and Peabody award-winning writer for Saturday Night Live “An unfailingly funny and compulsively readable mix of sweet and sour that will leave readers hoping for another helping.” –Booklist

BUBBLE WORLD (Henry Holt Books for Young Readers, July 2013) Galley (352 pages) World English rights with Holt Freesia’s carefree island life may literally be too good to be true. Freesia’s life is perfect. She lives on the beautiful tropical island of Agalinas, surrounded by idyllic weather, fancy dress shops, and peacocks who sing her favorite song to wake her up in the morning. Instead of studying Latin and algebra, she chats with her friendlies and snacks on nachos in Spanglish immersion class. She has so many de-vicious outfits she could wear a different one every day for a year and never run out. Lately things on the island may have been a bit flippy: sudden blackouts, students disappearing, even Freesia’s reflection looking slightly…off. But in Freesia’s experience, it’s better not to think about things like that too much. Unfortunately for her, these signs are more than random blips in the universe. Freesia’s perfect bubble is about to pop. Carol Snow is the author of ALA Quick Pick Switch and Snap (HarperTeen). She lives in Southern California with her husband and their two children. 
Swain, Heather JOSIE GRIFFIN IS NOT A VAMPIRE (Speak/Penguin Group USA, September 2012) Trade Paperback (272 pages) A smart paranormal with a “normal” twist: the story of a regular girl who finds herself surrounded by teens with supernatural abilities – and finds out how super her natural abilities really are. Josie Griffin is a former good girl sentenced to anger management class and community service after breaking the windshield of her boyfriend’s car (hey, she caught him making out with her best friend! What would you do?). She’s already ditched her pink polo shirts and cheerful A-student attitude, lost all her friends, and started a blog called JosieHatestheWorld, so court-ordered group therapy doesn’t sound so bad – until she arrives and realizes that these kids are CRAZY! One thinks he's a vampire, another a werewolf; there's a faerie, and even the great-great grandson of a Greek god. Smirking, Josie tells them she's a werepire, (half werewolf, half vampire) but that she doesn't have any powers because of crossbreeding. But as she spends more time with the other “angry” kids, Josie learns something amazing: They are telling the truth. There is an underground network of paranormals passing for human, living and working and going to school right alongside us. But every time one of them uses magic, it threatens to expose and destroy the whole community. Her new friends are in trouble – and Josie may be the only one who can help. Too bad she doesn’t have any special powers of her own. Or could it be that being “normal” is special enough? Heather Swain is not a vampire, either. But, she did grow up in Indiana and is the author of the paranormal teen fiction books Me, My Elf, And I and Selfish Elf Wish (Puffin). She is also the author of a nonfiction book called Make These Toys: 101 Clever Creations Using Everyday Items (Perigee). She lives in Brooklyn with her family. Swain, Heather THE LAST APPLE (Feiwel and Friends/Macmillan, Spring 2014) Manuscript due March 2013 World English rights with Macmillan THE LAST APPLE imagines a near future where there is no more food. The oceans have died, animals are extinct, farms have gone by the wayside. But scientists have designed inoculations against hunger pangs and nutritional beverages so the survivors are no longer starving. There is no more famine, no more obesity, and no genetic or food-related illnesses -- but there is also no more eating. The world is at peace. Except for 17-year-old Thalia Apple, who is hungry. Thalia’s mother, Lily Nyguen, is the lead scientist who developed the inoculations and beverages for One World Corporation. When she discovers that Thalia has a slight genetic mutation which is causing her (and others) to experience hunger, Lily wants to fix the problem, but Thalia refuses to be a part of her mother’s science experiments. While searching for answers of her own, Thalia stumbles upon Basil, an 18-year-old who is a member of an underground network of agitators called “Analogs” who want to forgo the inoculations so they can begin eating again. This is strictly forbidden (the no-food laws in Thalia’s world are as unforgiving as the no-drug laws in our time), and soon Thalia and Basil find themselves fleeing the city, the One World security agents, and Thalia’s parents, in search of the only thing that can quell the hunger inside them: real food. Heather Swain is the author of several YA novels including Me, My Elf and I, Selfish Elf Wish and the forthcoming Josie Griffin is Not a Vampire (Puffin, Fall 2012), for which film rights are being optioned by Overbrook (Will Smith’s production company). Heather has also written fiction for adults, as well as two eco-conscious craft books. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two children. 307 Seventh Ave. Suite 2407 NY, NY 10001 (T) 212.337.0934 (F) 212.337.0948 www.levinegreenberg.com Directory: sites -> default -> files -> katalogi files -> Occupational health and safety files -> The Black Panther Party’s Ten Point Program files -> International programs roel profile files -> Fermi Questions a guide for Teachers, Students, and Event Supervisors Lloyd Abrams, Ph.
