Walter Mosley is back!

Fearless Jones and Paris Minton, characters from Walter Mosley's bestsellers FEARLESS JONES and FEAR ITSELF, return in a taut thriller about family and revenge in FEAR OF THE DARK (Little, Brown and Co., $25.99). For Paris, a knock on his door is often the first sign of trouble. So when he finds his troublemaking cousin, Ulysses S. Grant, or Useless, on the other side of his door, Paris keeps it shut. With family members like Useless, who needs enemies? But trouble always finds an open door, and when Useless' mother, Three Hearts, shows up looking for her son, Paris has no choice but to track down his errant cousin. Turns out, Useless is involved in a high-stakes game of blackmail. Now, Useless, a briefcase full of money, and incriminating photos are missing. And Paris is not the only one looking for him. So Paris enlists the help of his friend, Fearless Jones, to help track down Useless. But all they find is more trouble, including mysterious women, desperate blackmail victims and cheating business partners--not to mention dead bodies. As usual, Mosley delivers a riveting read.

In an interesting work of nonfiction, controversial and colorful NFL player Terrell Owens seeks to set the record straight for fans and critics alike in T.O. (Simon & Schuster, $25), written with Jason Rosenhaus. For the first time, Owens talks about what really happened with the Philadelphia Eagles. He joined the team for the 2004 season, and helped the Eagles get to the Super Bowl. But the Eagles lost. Things fell apart halfway through the 2005 season. Before long, he was suspended for the entire season, eventually leaving to join the Dallas Cowboys. "This is an explanation," Owens writes. "I don't claim to be perfect, and I admit I made my share of mistakes, but there is another side to the story that you haven't seen until now."
