From Toby Barlow, the author of Sharp Teeth, comes Babayaga (Farrar Straus Giroux), a novel of love, spies, and witches in 1950s Paris. Will is a young American ad executive in Paris, except his agency is a front for the CIA. It's 1959 and the Cold War is going strong, but Will doesn't think he's a warrior — he's just a good-hearted Detroit ad guy who can't seem to figure out Parisian girls. Zoya is a beautiful young woman wandering les boulevards, sad-eyed and coming off a bad breakup. Inspector Vidot is a hardworking Paris police detective who cherishes quiet nights at home, but when he follows a lead from a grisly murder to the abode of an ugly old woman, he finds himself turned into a flea. Add a few chance encounters, a chorus of some angry witches, a strung-out jazzman or two, and a weaponized LSD program — and you have Barlow's Babayaga, a joyful romp through the City of Light and a daring, moving exploration of love, mortality, and responsibility.
