Billy Zeets has a story to tell. About being a vandal and petty thief. About missing boys and an elusive killer. And about what happens if a boy who breaks all the rules is the only person who can piece together the truth.
Gripping and powerful, this masterful debut novel comes to vivid life through the unique voice of a hero as unlikely as he is unforgettable.
The Culture of Capital brings together leading literary critics and historians to reassess one of the defining features of early modern England-the idea of "capital." The collection reevaluates the different aspects of the concept as it emerged amidst the profound economic, social, and technological changes typical of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As the essays move from the birth of private property and the rise of cities to the appearance of the printed book and the claims of modern science, the contributors reveal the nuanced relationships among economic value and other forms of religious, cultural, political, and intellectual value, as well as the persistence of objects, activities, and concepts that resisted becoming "capital" in a modern sense. Offering exemplary models of rigorous theoretical, literary, and historical work, the volume maps the ground for a new, enriched, interdisciplinary history of early modern England.

One night, a lovelorn teen boy "accidentally" slips into the home
of his ex-girlfriend, Laura, and ends up hiding in her basement,
trapped in the house by its alarm system. How long can he stay
hidden? What will happen if he is found? What will he learn about
Laura - and himself - in this house? And what is his true motive
for being there? Turner's affinity for observant outsiders - and
teens who share a desire to hide from nosy adults and judgmental
peers - shines in a psychological thriller in which the slow burn
of tension keeps readers turning pages to a sudden twist that
changes everything.
