Ross Clifton is a brilliant jazz pianist--and an even more talented thief. He steals millions of dollars in diamonds and BMWs and gives all the money away. But his life as a latter-day Robin Hood is about to come to an abrupt end. Fast, funny, and felonious, Give and Take takes you on an economic shakedown cruise.

"Wickedly funny, Give and Take is an unholy marriage of every American road narrative and the slyest moments of Thomas Pynchon. It's a virtuoso novel--one whose heart beats loudly and with its own beautifully idiosyncratic rhythms." -- Megan Abbott

Senseless is a literary thriller about torture, guilt, and moral ambiguity. Critics have called it the most disturbing novel ever written. Eliott Gast, a middle-aged American economist, is abducted in Brussels by a shadowy anti-globalization group. He spends forty days in a white apartment, questioned and tortured by his captors, every moment broadcast on the Internet. His mind racing, Gast tries to explain why he is here, unearthing sins both small and large.

Originally published in the U.S. days after the 9/11 attacks., Senseless continues to resonate internationally and has been made into a feature film in the UK.
