  “Has what most legal thrillers lack—total authenticity, which is spellbinding.” —James Patterson

  “I’m a sucker for a good sister story and Jody Holford’s All the Other Me absolutely delivered. The relationship between Isabelle and Elaina is complicated and poignant and real, and I loved their journey to better understanding each other and themselves. All the Other Me is a book that will stay with you and leave you asking yourself, what other lives could have been out there for me? And how do I learn to love the one I have?” —Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

  “Fun and quirky tales and ruminations about a genius, a hero, and a role model for the ages!” —David Brin, author of The Postman and The Ancient Ones

  “Reading this story collection is like stepping in front of a fun house mirror. At first, you see yourself, your world, and the characters as ordinary. But with one side step, your body slowly distorts into something unexpected, wicked, even silly. But vibrating underneath, somehow, Julianna Baggott’s words ground us with the familiar truths that allow us to see the ordinary as something truly extraordinary.” —Jessica Biel, actress and producer

  “Rotstein’s insight into the insidious nature of jury trials blew me away.” —Robert Dugoni, #1 Amazon, Wall Street Journal, and internationally bestselling author of My Sister’s Grave

  “All the Other Me is a moving and beautifully written novel that offers an original spin on the sliding-doors question of what could have been? This layered, thought-provoking story about embracing who we are in order to discover who we want to be is the kind of story readers will be dying to discuss. Holford has crafted a book club gem!” —Melissa Wiesner, bestselling author of The Second Chance Year

  “A richly imagined collection from a stellar group of writers. Do not miss it!” —Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestselling author of The Darwin Elevator and Instinct

  “Casually fantastical, beautifully surreal, and packing an unexpected emotional punch, the stories in I’d Really Prefer Not to Be Here with You are clever and subversive and proof that, in the right hands, big ideas can come in small, perfect packages.” —Jonathan Tropper, New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where I Leave You

  “A perfect legal thriller, full of twists that kept me reading compulsively. Highly recommended.” —Terry Shames, author of The Troubling Death of Maddy Benson

  “All the Other Me is an emotional page-turner. Beautifully written and lyrical, raw, and witty at just the right moments, it will stay with you long after the last page.” —Jess Sinclair, award-winning author of What We Could Have Been

  “A moving fantastical collection…stacked with feats of imagination.” —Publishers Weekly

  “Rich in verisimilitude, lawyer and author par excellence Robert Rotstein’s A True Verdict is a riveting blend of plot and prose that masterfully explores the complexities of morality and modern-day societal divisions.

  “A strange and magical story.” —Booklist

  “This book is a treasure chest filled with wild and wondrous tales. A gorgeous and brilliant collection!” —Alexander Weinstein, author of Children of the New World

  “In the gripping legal thriller, A True Verdict, Robert Rotstein brilliantly transports readers directly into the deliberation room as the jury struggles with a complex whistleblower case. So many shocking secrets, so many serpentine twists! My true verdict? This book’s guilty of being a real page-turner!” —Alan Orloff, Anthony, Agatha, Derringer, and Thriller Award–winning author of Late Checkout

  “Less laugh-out-loud fun but just as snackable are the short stories in Julianna Baggott’s I’d Really Prefer Not to Be Here With You. They reward more than one reading.” —New Scientist

  “A Rashomon for the courtroom, Robert Rotstein’s A True Verdict is a roller coaster of a legal thriller that perfectly balances a legal eagle’s eye to detail with twists that you will not see coming. I breathlessly read the last hundred pages on the edge of my seat in shock at what was transpiring on the page. A must-read for courtroom junkies and anyone who appreciates how elusive truth can be. Highly recommended!” —Adam Mitzner, bestselling author of The Brothers Kenney and Love Betrayal Murder

  “Julianna Baggott has written a timely and compelling collection of short stories covering a variety of speculative fiction themes, many of which are reminiscent of episodes of the dystopian science-fiction show Black Mirror. A bevy of talented narrators deliver the stories…The laudable narrators, with their varied performances, keep the listener engrossed in highly original and thought-provoking stories.” —AudioFile

  “A bravura demonstration of the truth that, as one of the jurors observes, ‘Our secrets define us as human beings.’” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

  • A True Verdict

  • By Robert Rotstein

    Read by Sean Pratt, Phil Thron, Kelli Tager, Sophie Amoss, Natalie Naudus, Fajer Al-Kaisi, Hillary Huber, Mark Bramhall, Robin Miles, Andrew Eiden, Roxanne Hernandez, Eunice Wong, Deanna Anthony, and Graham Halstead

  From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Robert Rotstein, A True Verdict is an edge-of-your-seat legal thriller filled with secrets.

  MediMiracle Corporation manufactures Sophrosyne, a miracle cure for opiate addiction. Ellison Ricard, a research analyst for the company, claims to have uncovered data that proves Black users of Sophrosyne experience fatal side effects far more often than people of other races. When Ricard confronts MediMiracle’s charismatic founder and CEO, Peyton Burke, a violent confrontation ensues. The wheelchair-bound Ricard—a Black man who had been severely injured years earlier—is fired that very day.

  Ricard turns to aging lawyer M. Bailey Klaus, to sue Burke and MediMiracle for civil rights violations, alleging that Ricard was fired because he blew the whistle on the coverup and because he was Black. Klaus faces off against his former protégé, Cicely Pagano, each arguing for drastically different versions of Ricard. Is he a brilliant, sincere, credible person who is rightfully standing up against a deadly product? Or is he a delusional, embittered, and avaricious liar who is taking advantage of his former employer?

  Ricard’s fate rests with an eight-person jury who can’t agree on anything. Working together to reach a consensus means navigating a tempest of the most divisive issues: politics, sexism, drug abuse, capitalism, healthcare, and racism. Can eight people with different backgrounds, ages, classes, and political views avoid coming to blows, much less render a true verdict? Told through court transcripts and jury deliberations, A True Verdict is a suspenseful ride to a shocking outcome …

  • Release Date: 11/19/24

  • Formats: Trade Print ARC, Trade Paperback

  Perfect for fans of The Rehearsals by Annette Christie and What Might Have Been by Holly Miller, All the Other Me is a poignant story of what it means to come to terms with who you are—and who you can be.

  Isabelle Duprees is one of Forbes’ most powerful self-made women and has built a reputation as one of New York’s savviest investors and sharpest advisors. With a penthouse overlooking Central Park, an open invitation to any event she wishes to attend, and a weekly date with a man who won’t ask too much of her, Isabelle’s carefully curated life is exactly what she wants.

  Until it isn’t.

  After her estranged sister shows up, circumstances—and too much champagne—have Isabelle Googling herself, only to discover three other women her age, with the same name, birthdate, and familiar features.

  Too curious not to follow this rabbit hole, Isabelle and her sister embark on a road trip that leads them back to their hometown—and possibly each other. On the way, they seek out all the other Isabelles and find each one of them living a life that could have been hers if she’d made different choices.
