Publisher's Notes
In this stylish novel, M.F.K. Fisher follows the course of Jennie, a willful, wandering woman, a lovely enchantress calculating the havoc caused by her life of danger and license.
Not Now but Now is Fisher's only novel. In it she traces the subtleties and nuances of a woman's mind. Controlled neither by others nor by time, Jennie moves through separate eras and beautifully drawn settings in San Francisco, Chicago, Lausanne, and Paris.
rEVIEW: "Fisher depicts with startlingly sharp strokes the discrepancy between the inner and outer Jennie, creating a remarkable character that illuminates Fisher's evident skill at fiction writing." (Publishers Weekly).
REVIEW; "Her eye is so acute and her voice is so true, she invariably bewitches us." (Newsweek).

The Fifth Woman
by Steven T. Murray
A chilling Kurt Wallander mystery from a "major voice in international crime fiction" ( Booklist ). Inspector Kurt Wallander is at it again. Four nuns and an unidentified fifth woman are found with their throats slit in an Algerian convent. In Sweden, a birdwatcher is skewered to death in a pit of carefully sharpened bamboo poles. How are these deaths connected? Wallander, "the charmingly melancholy Scandinavian of lore and tradition" (Kirkus Reviews), is hot on the trail. In a series that has taken Europe by storm, The Fifth Woman has sold half a million copies in Sweden alone, and has been translated into ten languages. According to the Wall Street Journal, "Mankell joins the worthy ranks of such past masters as Georges Simenon, Nicholas Freeling, and Sweden's own Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo."
