THE LAST HOLIDAY: A Memoir, by Gil Scott-Heron. (Grove, $16.) Scott-Heron, the uncompromising poet, novelist and spoken-word recording artist (“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”), died in May 2011, at 62. His posthumously published memoir, which ends before drug use and a prison sentence sent his life off the rails, is an elegiac culmination to his career and offers deeply personal insights into the civil rights movement.

WAITING FOR SUNRISE, by William Boyd. (Harper Perennial, $15.99.) Boyd’s cunning World War I spy novel moves from a psychoanalyst’s office in Vienna to London’s West End to the battlefields of France as it follows Lysander Rief, a diffident English actor plunged into the murky world of wartime intelligence.

ANATOMY OF INJUSTICE: A Murder Case Gone Wrong, by Raymond Bonner. (Vintage, $16.) Bonner, an investigative reporter and onetime prosecutor, unravels the race- and class-ridden case of a South Carolina man sentenced to die in 1982 — despite his probable innocence. Tracing a lawyer’s relentless pursuit of the prosecution’s omissions and manipulations, “Bonner has found a way to turn this sad, sordid story into an utterly engrossing true-crime tale,” Kevin Boyle wrote here.

FROM THE MEMOIRS OF A NON-ENEMY COMBATANT, by Alex Gilvarry. (Penguin, $16.) Gilvarry’s hilarious yet serious first novel tells the story of Boyet Hernandez, a Filipino-born fashion designer. Wending his way through the flamboyantly fatuous world of Brooklyn couture, Boyet innocently lands in Guantánamo as the first detainee captured on United States soil.

A UNIVERSE FROM NOTHING: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing, by Lawrence M. Krauss. (Atria, $15.) Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? Krauss, a theoretical physicist and prolific popular-science writer, argues that the laws of quantum mechanics can answer our most profound questions.

DEATH COMES TO PEMBERLEY, by P. D. James. (Vintage, $15.) Two hundred years after Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” — in which the clever Elizabeth Bennet tamed the arrogant Fitzwilliam Darcy — James delightfully transplants the dramatis personae from that novel into her own suspenseful universe. It’s 1803, and in their six years of marriage, Elizabeth and Darcy have forged a happy life, but can their union withstand the stress of a murder on the grounds of Darcy’s impressive estate?

THE SCIENCE OF YOGA: The Risks and the Rewards, by William J. Broad. Illustrated by Bobby Clennell. (Simon & Schuster, $16.) Yoga, it is said, can prevent heart disease, reverse aging, eliminate pain, and bestow serenity. Broad, a science reporter for The New York Times, has practiced yoga since 1970, and he brings an open mind to his careful evaluation of these claims.

THE LION IS IN, by Delia Ephron. (Plume, $16.) Three women are on a journey of self-discovery in Ephron’s whimsical, touching novel: Tracee, a kleptomaniac in a wedding dress; Lana, a recovering alcoholic; and Rita, a minister’s wife desperate to escape her marriage. Stranded in rural North Carolina, they take shelter in a roadhouse, where they find a strangely alluring lion named Marcel.
