Win by Harlan Coben (Adult Fiction).Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family s estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors; and the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting and a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead.

Silver Spring, Md. Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” is blaring on everyone s car radio. It’s 40-some degrees, but water balloons are being tossed, and a lifeguard is blowing her whistle at guests. “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” author Jeff Kinney is on standby with a 7-foot pool net.
The coronavirus pandemic has prompted an unusual ask of the book industry: how do you go on tour to promote your work when meeting groups isn’t safe?
