About The Books


The Year of Fog: A Kirkus Reviews Top Pick for Reading Groups; named one of the Best Books of the Year by Library Journal, News of the World, and Elle France; the 2011 selection of Silicon Valley Reads. 


"A leisurely walk on a foggy San Francisco beach culminates in every parent's worst nightmare—a missing child. Abby turns her head for a matter of seconds to look at a dead seal pup. When she looks back up, her fiancé Jake's six-year-old daughter, Emma, is gone. Abby knows that Emma is still alive and that the clue needed to solve her disappearance is buried in her memory, but the police and even Jake eventually decide that Emma must have drowned. Stopping the search is not an option for Abby; to let go of Emma would be to let go of her own sanity...A mesmerizing novel of loss and grief, hope and redemption, and the endurance of love." Library Journal, starred review


No One You Know: Twenty years after the death of her sister, a Stanford math prodigy, Ellie Enderlin encounters the man who was wrongly accused of the crime and sets out to discover the truth. "A thoroughly riveting literary thriller" (Booklist, starred review) about two sisters, an unsolved murder, and an ancient mathematical puzzle. "An intelligent, emotionally convincing tale about a family tragedy and the process of storytelling." The Boston Globe
