Whatever his name or alias at the moment—Henry McCarty, Henry Antrim, Kid Antrim, Billy Bonney—people always called him the Kid. Not until his final month did anyone call him Billy the Kid. Newspapers pictured him as a king of outlaws; and his highly publicized capture, trial, escape, and end fixed his image in the public mind for all time. He was only twenty-one years old when a bullet from Sheriff Pat Garett’s six-shooter killed him on July 14, 1881. Within a year Billy the Kid became the subject of five dime-novel “biographies” as well as Garett’s ghost-written account, and that was just the beginning. Robert M. Utley does what countless books, movies, television shows, musical compositions, and paintings have failed to do: he successfully strips off the veneer of legendry to expose the reality of Billy the Kid. Using previously untapped sources, he presents an engrossing story—the most complete and accurate ever—of a youthful hoodlum and sometime killer who found his calling in New Mexico’s bloody power struggle known as the Lincoln County War. In unmasking the legend Utley also tells us much about our heritage of frontier vigilantism and violence.

In Billy Ray's Farm, Larry Brown brings the appealing blend of candor, humor, and poignancy of his acclaimed novels Fay and Father and Son to nine personal essays that explore the emotional and physical landscape of the corner of Mississippi he calls home. The centerpiece of this collection offers a moving description of life on his son's cattle farm, capturing Brown's deep-seated attachment to his family and to the land. In other pieces, Brown takes readers inside the writing cabin he built, chronicles his attempt to outsmart a wily coyote intent on killing the farm's baby goats, and reveals his reactions to being constantly compared to William Faulkner, a writer inspired by the same geography. Threaded through each piece are warm reflections on the Southern musicians and authors who influenced his writings. At once entertaining and insightful, Billy Ray's Farm brilliantly illuminates how a great writer responds, personally and artistically, to the patch of land he lives on, providing a wonderful look into the mysterious sources of a writer's motivation.

For centuries Baptists and many other evangelicals have used the "altar call" as a means to challenge people to respond the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Billy Graham has used this method to call over 200 million people to the Savior. Yet, today the public invitation is being attacked from many fronts, especially Reformed churches and church leaders who adhere to Calvinism and Hyper-Calvinism. Dr. Greg Tyree takes a pastoral approach, rather than a strictly scholarly one, to defend the thesis that the altar call is not only historically relevant, but is Biblical and appropriate when used ethically and Scripturally. If seeing people come to Christ in public meetings is important to you, tis book will both encourage you and challenge you.

Patsy and Billy Hale are living the life they had always dreamed of—married high school sweethearts, a beautiful Texas home, a happy and healthy family—until one Christmas Eve night, a ragged group of un- expected guests show up in their back yard. These surprise visitors are Billy’s mesmerizing, and formerly high-rolling, twin brother, Bobby, with his girlfriend and an assortment of four children. They arrive in a beaten-down, forty year old army surplus truck which they live in and call home. He Heard His Brother Call His Name tells Patsy’s engrossing story of how what started as a joyous reunion of brothers, after years of absence, would lead to the destruction of the life she had known: the loss of her friends, her home, her inheritance, and, finally, her marriage. This true story of psychological warfare between identical twin brothers travels from the salons of Hollywood to the remote summits of New Mexico’s mountains and reveals new perspectives on historical events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the death of Marilyn Monroe. It is the harrowing tale of a larger-than-life Texas family and the strong ties that bound its infamous sons together—even at the ultimate cost.

THE BLACK ECHO One Sunday Harry Bosch gets a call out on his pager. A body has been found in a drainage tunnel off Mullholland Drive, Hollywood. And Harry knows him. Billy Meadows was a fellow tunnel rat out in Vietnam, running against the VC and against the fear they used to call the Black Echo. Harry let Meadows down once. He won’t do it again. ‘THE BLACK ECHO is one of the most authentic pieces of crime writing I’ve ever read. It is an extraordinary story, one that engages the reader on the first page and never lets go’ James Lee Burke THE BLACK ICE The corpse in the hotel room appears to be that of a missing LAPD narcotics officer. Rumours abound that the cop had crossed over – selling a new drug called Black Ice that had been infiltrating LA from Mexico – and the LAPD brass are quick to declare his death a suicide. Harry Bosch isn’t so sure ... ‘Connelly has, with great skill, given us a detective who inhabits a world filled with torment, fear and danger’ People Magazine THE CONCRETE BLONDE When Harry Bosch shot and killed Norman Church, the police were convinced it marked the end of the hunt for the Dollmaker – LA’s most bizarre serial killer. But now Church’s widow is accusing Harry of killing the wrong man, and to make things worse, Harry has just received a taunting note that appears to be from the Dollmaker himself ... ‘A cracker ... it fairly coruscates with all that goes to make a good crime thriller’ Irish Times

In 1924, three years before Lindbergh flew to Paris, four young army airmen answered the call of General Billy Mitchell to save U.S. aviation from destruction by the politicians by winning the race with a dozen other nations to make the first flight around the world. In primitive open-cockpit biplanes powered by unreliable engines and few airfields, they were given little chance of success or even survival. This is the untold epic story of American patriotism, valor, and can-do ingenuity which triumphed over adversity and led to aviation dominance for the balance of the Century -- and the forgotten heroes that made it happen. Over 15 years of research, including the first access ever to the private Donald Douglas collection of Aviation memorabilia including worldwide newspaper accounts, diaries and logs of the aviators, have gone into the writing of this remarkable story.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER · From former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins comes a twelfth collection of poetry offering over fifty new poems that showcase the generosity, wit, and imaginative play that prompted The Wall Street Journal to call him “America’s favorite poet.”   The Rain in Portugal—a title that admits he’s not much of a rhymer—sheds Collins’s ironic light on such subjects as travel and art, cats and dogs, loneliness and love, beauty and death. His tones range from the whimsical—“the dogs of Minneapolis . . . / have no idea they’re in Minneapolis”—to the elegiac in a reaction to the death of Seamus Heaney. A student of the everyday, Collins here contemplates a weather vane, a still life painting, the calendar, and a child lost at a beach. His imaginative fabrications have Shakespeare flying comfortably in first class and Keith Richards supporting the globe on his head. By turns entertaining, engaging, and enlightening, The Rain in Portugal amounts to another chorus of poems from one of the most respected and familiar voices in the world of American poetry.  Praise for The Rain in Portugal   “Nothing in Billy Collins’s twelfth book . . . is exactly what readers might expect, and that’s the charm of this collection.”—The Washington Post   “This new collection shows [Collins] at his finest. . . . Certain to please his large readership and a good place for readers new to Collins to begin.”—Library Journal   “Disarmingly playful and wistfully candid.”—Booklist
