Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon
Thomas Pynchon
A Land So Wide by Erin A. Craig
Erin A. Craig


In the new novel from Thomas Pynchon, private eye Hicks McTaggart takes a job that should have been a routine case, locating and bringing back the heiress of a Wisconsin cheese fortune who’s taken a mind to go wandering. This couldn’t be further from the truth …

The town of Mistaken has a secret … and it’s up to one woman to uncover the truth, confront her past, and save the man she loves. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Thirteenth Child comes an irresistible blend of dark fairytale and romantic fantasy.
