Overview
This three-book hardback collection brings together some of Percival Everett's most celebrated recent novels: the razor-sharp heist satire Dr. No, the Booker-shortlisted The Trees, and James, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. Together they showcase Everett's extraordinary range, moving between comic invention, unflinching social commentary, and reimagined American history. A superb introduction or gift for readers of serious, prize-winning contemporary fiction.

About the Books
Dr. No follows Wala Kitu, a Brown University mathematics professor who studies nothing quite literally, until a billionaire villain recruits him for an audacious heist on Fort Knox aimed at reducing America itself to nothing. Blending absurdist comedy with pointed political satire, it is vintage Everett: playful, philosophical, and quietly devastating.

The Trees opens with a spate of brutal murders in Money, Mississippi, each scene accompanied by a second, unidentified corpse resembling Emmett Till, the teenager lynched in the same town decades earlier. As copycat killings spread nationwide, two investigators are drawn into a reckoning with America's violent racial history. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, it is by turns a gripping thriller and a searing indictment.

James retells Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man fleeing sale and separation from his family along the Mississippi River. Everett transforms a canonical American story into something urgent, funny, and profoundly moving, restoring voice and interiority to a character long defined by others. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the National Book Award, and the Kirkus Prize.
