Mike Wiecek returns with a closely-observed story of city crooks and small town politics in Vacationland. Judy Green takes us back to a 1950's childhood, and a child's attempts to understand the mysteries of adult behavior, in Dark. An aging editor struggles to revive his paper's readership in Pat Remick's Circulation.
