HEADS, YOU LOSE (Putnam, April 2011) Trade Paperback, April 2012 (320 pages) World English rights with Putnam National Bestseller! April 2011 Indie Next List! From New York Times bestselling author Lisa Lutz and David Hayward, a hilarious and original tag-team novel that reads like Weeds crossed with Adaptation. Paul and Lacey Hansen are pot-growing twenty-something siblings sharing a modest rambler of a home in rural Northern California. When they find a headless corpse on their property they can't exactly call the police, so they simply move the body to another location. Let somebody else find it. Instead, the corpse reappears on their land. Clearly, someone is sending them a message, and it’s getting riper by the day. But that’s only half the story… Enter authors Lisa Lutz and David Hayward—former real-life partners (professionally and personally) who have agreed to reunite for a tag-team mystery novel written in alternating chapters. One little problem: They disagree on pretty much every detail of how their novel should unfold. While the body count rises in Paul and Lacy’s wildly unpredictable fictional world, so, too, does the intensity of Lisa and David’s rivalry. The result is a literary brawl like no other, and a murder mystery every bit as unanticipated (and bloody). Lisa Lutz is the New York Times bestselling author of the Spellman series of comedic crime novels. Since its debut in 2007, the Spellman series has received Edgar, Anthony, and Macavity nominations, and each title has been a selection of the Indie Next List. Lutz lives in San Francisco. David Hayward is a writer and editor in Northern California. His poetry has won a Puschcart Prize and has appeared in Harper’s and other magazines. He has an MFA in poetry from the University of California, Irvine. Praise: “Clever, witty, and smartly turned out, this novel should be savored from the editor's letter to the final page, or readers will lose out on a big piece of this humorous puzzle.” –Library Journal, starred review “A complete delight! Sure, Heads You Lose is a snappy, stylish crime novel but it's much more: a clever, often hilarious and insightful look at how these wonderful things we call books actually get created. It's a toss-up (sorry, I couldn't resist) to say which of the main characters are my favorite: fictional protagonists Lacey and Paul, or authors Lisa and David.” -- Jeffery Deaver, bestselling author of The Bone Collector and The Burning Wire “Heads You Lose is a rare beast: a clever, funny, engrossing read that manages to be dark yet marvelously witty, a book that is both a thriller itself and a book about the writing of a thriller. Ex-partners Lutz and Hayward have come up with a mystery that’s genuinely different. You’ll be happy that you read it, and happier still that you’ve never had to date either one of them. It’s a blast.” –John Connolly, New York Times bestselling author of The Whisperers and Every Dead Thing
–Susan Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author “Lucy March’s novels have it all; they’re sexy, funny, heartfelt, and warm, full of characters you want to eat waffles with and strange little towns you want to visit, all seasoned with a dash of the supernatural.

THE BOOK OF STOLEN TALES: Book Two of The Mesopotamian Trilogy (Penguin Canada, May 2013) Manuscript due November 2012 On behalf of an anonymous client, antiquities dealer John Madison successfully bids for a rare Italian 17th century book – the first European anthology of fairy tales, written by Giambattista Basile, containing frightening illustrations by the famous Spanish painter, José de Ribera. Madison is warned not to open it because the book is considered ‘dangerous.’ He can’t resist the temptation and as he’s taking a look at the volume, he’s accosted and robbed of the book by a strange man who appears to have stepped out of the past and who claims the tales belong to him. Madison soon discovers his client was a British publisher of high quality children’s books who believed one of four famous fairy tales holds the key to an ancient source of plague in Mesopotamia. In pursuit of the thief, Madison travels to Naples, Ghent, the south of France and the Czech Republic - locations of the real events in European history that gave rise to each one of the four famous fairy tales. As his search deepens, Madison is confronted by an Italian aristocrat who practises the lost art of necromancy and a beautiful but abused young woman. The dark origins of the stories, as they were told before modernization, come to life. Madison realizes one of the tales can be traced back through Greek and Egyptian literature, to a Babylonian myth. In Iraq, during the final hours of his quest, he ventures underground into the Mesopotamian version of Hades, an actual archaeological site. D.J.

The gears of war have begun to grind, but Inky Lautman, star point guard for the South Philadelphia Hebrew Association, the nation’s greatest basketball team, is dealing with his own problems. His coach has unwittingly incurred a massive gambling debt to the Bund, a group of American Nazis. His main basketball rival is self-righteously leading public protests against homegrown American fascism. And his girlfriend wants him to join a Jewish student organization that's all talk and no action. It's more than Inky can deliver. He just wants to play ball and occasionally beat people up for money. When the Bund comes calling for what it’s owed, Inky has to make a stand for his ragtag bunch of teammates and the coach that got them into this mess. With the Bund closing in, Inky's game isn’t just basketball anymore. It becomes a battle that pits Jewish pride against Nazi fascism. The tides of history are flowing against a guy like Inky. Can he make his free throws and still make it through the season alive? Get ready. This…is Jewball.

Rich, Simon WHAT IN GOD'S NAME? (Reagan Arthur Books/Hachette, August 2012) Hardcover (240 pages) UK rights: Serpent’s Tail (via Hachette) Bored, God decides that Earth has had its day—unless two idealistic angels can make a miracle happen. Welcome to Heaven Inc., the grossly mis-managed corporation in the sky. For as long as anyone can remember, the founder and CEO (known in some circles as God) has been phoning it in. Lately, he’s been spending most of his time on the golf course. And when he does show up at work, it’s not to resolve wars or end famine, but to Google himself and read what humans have been blogging about him. When God decides to resign as CEO (to pursue his lifelong dream of opening a fusion restaurant), he announces that he’ll destroy Earth. His employees take the news in stride, except for Craig and Eliza, two underpaid Angels in the lowly Department of Miracles. Unlike their boss, Craig and Eliza love their jobs--uncapping city fire hydrants on hot days, revealing lost keys in snowbanks—and they refuse to accept that Earth is going under. The Angels manage to strike a deal with their boss: He’ll call off his Armageddon if they can bring about their toughest miracle yet—getting the two most socially awkward humans on the planet fall in love. With doomsday fast approaching, and the the clueless humans ignoring every chance for happiness thrown their way, Craig and Eliza must move heaven and earth to rescue them—and the rest of us, too. Simon Rich “is still the freshest, funniest new writer today,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times. He has written comedy for The New Yorker, Saturday Night Live, The Believer, Pixar and other movie studios. He’s the author of two collections, Free-Range Chickens and Ant Farm. His first novel, Elliot Allagash was optioned for a film by Jason Reitman. Rich lives in Brooklyn.

Bestselling author Robert Rotenberg is back with his most shocking book yet. It is just after Labour Day and the city is kicking into gear. All eyes are on the hotly contested election for Toronto’s next mayor and crime is the big issue. Greene is no stranger to the worst of what the city has to offer, but even he is unprepared for what happens next when he stumbles upon a horrific homicide.

Tied down on house arrest as he awaits his trial, Greene has to find a way to clear his name, and also must face some very hard truths: that he didn’t really know the people he believed in most; that there are unseen forces at work prepared to see him take the fall; and most of all, that he should never underestimate the price people will pay for love.
