In the early 1960s, crime writing was serious business and nobody took it more seriously than journalist, gossip columnist, and television personality Dorothy Kilgallen. By 2017, she is largely a distant memory until 19-year-old Alexis Jones stumbles across her story. Following in the footsteps of Sarah Koenig, Alexis launches her own podcast seeking to solve the mystery of Dorothy’s life and death and finds herself pulled into the murky history of the trailblazing, enemy-making Kilgallen, alienating everyone close to her. Living by what she believes to be Dorothy’s code of conduct, she gets closer than may be wise to unraveling one of conspiracy theorists’ favorite subjects - but at what cost? Part real-life mystery and part fiction, KILGALLEN/JONES explores the timeless desire to investigate and glamorize death, and the real and imagined consequences which follow.

Abby and Norman Kristoff have impulsively moved away from their steady lives in Sacramento to a cabin in Moorestown, New Jersey, sight unseen. Thankfully, the quirky locals know everything there is to know: where to eat, what to do, and who’s had a run-in with the Jersey Devil, a centuries-old horse-headed beast with hooves, claws, bat wings, and a bad attitude. The Kristoff’s invested everything they have into their new home, and they’ll fight for it, tooth and nail. And they’ll need everything they’ve got because when the devil comes knocking, he rarely comes alone.
