520    "A bold and intriguing fabulist novel that reimagines two 
       of the most legendary characters in American literature--
       Captain Ahab and Ishmael of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick--
       from the critically acclaimed Edgar and World Fantasy 
       award-winning author of The Girl in the Glass and The 
       Shadow Year. At the end of a long journey, Captain Ahab 
       returns to the mainland to confront the true author of the
       novel Moby-Dick, his former shipmate, Ishmael. For Ahab 
       was not pulled into the ocean's depths by a harpoon line, 
       and the greatly exaggerated rumors of his untimely death 
       have caused him grievous harm--after hearing about Ahab's 
       demise, his wife and child left Nantucket for New York, 
       and now Ahab is on a desperate quest to find them. Ahab's 
       pursuit leads him to The Gorgon's Mirror, the 
       sensationalist tabloid newspaper that employed Ishmael as 
       a copy editor while he wrote the harrowing story of the 
       ill-fated Pequod. In the penny press's office, Ahab meets 
       George Harrow, who makes a deal with the captain: the 
       newspaperman will help Ahab navigate the city in exchange 
       for the exclusive story of his salvation from the mouth of
       the great white whale. But their investigation--like 
       Ahab's own story--will take unexpected, dangerous, and 
       ultimately tragic turns. Told with wisdom, suspense, a 
       modicum of dry humor and horror, and a vigorous stretching
       of the truth, Ahab's Return charts an inventive and 
       intriguing voyage involving one of the most memorable 
       characters in classic literature, and pays homage to one 
       of the greatest novels ever written"--|cProvided by
