Mickey Prada is a nice kid. Perhaps too nice. He works in a
neighbourhood seafood market in Brooklyn putting fish on ice. He's
got a nice girlfriend. He even delayed college a year, to look
after his sick dad who's gradually losing his marbles and has a
tendency to go walkabout. But Mickey's got a little problem. A
customer at the fish store, Angelo Santoro, keeps asking Mickey to
place bets for him and Angelo keeps losing. As Angelo gets further
in the hole, his bad luck is turning out to be Mickey's too. Now
Mickey's got his bookie after him and Angelo's showing him the butt
of his pistol rather than paying him back. So when his best friend,
Chris, asks Mickey to join him on a can't-lose caper, Mickey
decides to go along. But, sure-fire schemes often have a way of
backfiring, and this one is sending Mickey into an uncharted part
of Brooklyn, where fish like Chris and Mickey have trouble...

Richie Segal's prospects are pretty miserable and, what's more
humiliating, his wife's career is on the up. Richie knows he is a
good salesman, but he just can't seem to land an account. He's
starting to drink again and worry about whether Paula is seeing
that old high school flame or maybe someone new. At thirty-four,
he's a little young for a mid-life crisis, but that's what it feels
like. And then there are those unwelcome memories of the
neighbourhood bully, Michael Rudnick, and what he did to Richie
when he was eleven. . . Just when Richie is about as low as he can
get, he runs into Rudnick on the street and knows exactly what he
needs to do. Suddenly things seem to be going much better. That is
until they get much, much worse. In the classic tradition of Jim
Thompson and Patricia Highsmith, Hard Feelings is a gripping,
original novel of paranoia, obsession, and revenge.

A hilariously dark thriller about two very different New York
couples. The DePinos are miserable, living in a tiny rundown
apartment above a deli on Tenth Avenue. The Sussmans live in a posh
building on the Upper East Side. When Joey DePino loses his job and
is threatened by his bookies and loan shark, he involves the
Sussmans in a sick, desperate plan to pay off his gambling debts.
But ad exec David Sussman has his own problems, trying to stop his
suddenly psychopathic Asian mistress from ruining him, and won't go
down without a fight. As the lives of the DePinos and the Sussmans
become increasingly intertwined, Joey and David plunge their
families into a moral-less world where anything is possible and
nothing is personal.

sets of 12 iconic movies, from Titanic to Apocalypse Now, The

Ryan Rossetti and Jake Thomas were the two Major League-bound
rivals on their high school baseball team. Until Ryan hurt his
pitching arm and landed a $10 dollar an hour life as a house
painter. Lucky Jake made it all the way, and he and his $10 million
signing bonus are heading back for a publicity-motivated homecoming
weekend. But he's got a nasty surprise in store: Ryan is involved
in an intense, addictive relationship with Jake's fiance Christina,
who now faces a choice between love in a Brooklyn tenement or a
heartless marriage on Easy Street. None of the three have any idea
what's about to play out in the streets they once all called home.
Lights out is vintage Jason Starr, a razor sharp crime novel that
brilliantly combines biting social satire, explosive suspense, and
honest, revealing human drama.
