Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Pepper Reece, owner of the Spice Shop in Seattle's Pike Place Market, loves a good festival, especially one that serves up tasty treats. So what could be more fun than a food walk in the city's Chinatown International District, celebrating the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Rabbit? But when her friend Roxanne stumbles across a man's body in the Gold Rush, a long-closed residential hotel, questions leap out. Who was he? What was he doing in the dust-encrusted herbal pharmacy in the hotel's twisty-turny basement? Why was the pharmacy boarded up - and why are the owners so reluctant to talk? With the discovery of a box of letters written in Chinese - a box that later goes missing - Pepper and her friends find themselves asking new questions and facing more brick walls. Then questions arise about Roxanne herself, and her relationship to Pepper's boyfriend Nate, away fishing in Alaska. Between worrying about Nate, Roxanne, and her parents' pending departure, while struggling to hire new staff at the Spice Shop, Pepper has her hands and her heart full. Still, she can't resist the lure of the Gold Rush and its tangled history of secrets and lies stretching back nearly a hundred years. But the killer is on her tail, driven by hidden demons and desires. As Pepper begins to expose the long-concealed truth, a bigger question emerges: Can she uncover the secrets of the Gold Rush Hotel without being pushed from the wok into the fire.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. ?[A] rich and lyrical tale of desperation and redemption . . . Throughout, Sainz Borgo applies stark poetry to the terrifying setting, where 'moans and cries attributed to ghosts sometimes masked executions and beatings.' It?s a stunner.? ?Publishers Weekly (starred review)?[A] deeply felt meditation on migration, mourning and the simultaneous entanglement and estrangement of the living and the dead? ?Los Angeles TimesWinner of the 2023 Jan Michalski Prize, a searing novel of loss and resilience that illuminates the often-overlooked human dimension of the migrant crisis, re-imagining the border as a dreamlike purgatory bridging life and death.In this powerful work of magical realism set in an unnamed Latin American country, a mysterious plague quickly spreads, erasing the memory of anyone infected. Angustias Romero flees with her family, but their flight is tragically cut short when she loses both her children. Consumed by grief, she finds herself within the hallucinatory expanse of Mezquite?a town corrupted by greed and populated by storytellers, refugees, and violent, predatory gangs.Here, Angustias is finally able to lay her children to rest at the Third Country, a cemetery run by the larger-than-life Visitación Salazar and a refuge beyond suffering and fear. While Visitación remains defiant in her mission to care for the dead, the cemetery she oversees is the focal point of a bitter land dispute with Alcides Abundio, the most feared landowner of the border.

Fantastical and humorous, 'The Place of Dead Roads' continues William Burroughs' exploration of society's controlling forces - the State, the Church, women, literature, drugs - with a style that is utterly unique in twentieth-century literature.…
