Baldacci, David
Hell’s Corner
The night after the U.S. president persuades former assassin Oliver Stone (aka John Carr) to re-enter
government employment to tackle the growing threat of Russian drug gangs, Stone finds himself across
the street from the White House, when the night of a state dinner honoring the British prime minister, a
bomb is detonated in Lafayette Park, an apparent terrorist attack against both leaders. It's in the chaotic
aftermath that Stone takes on a new, more urgent assignment: find those responsible for the bombing.
British MI-6 agent Mary Chapman becomes Stone's partner in the search for the unknown attackers. But
their opponents are elusive, capable, and increasingly lethal. Worst of all, it seems that the park bombing
may just have been the opening move in their plan. With nowhere else to turn, Stone enlists the help of the
only people he thinks he can trust: the Camel Club. Yet In the shadowy worlds of politics and intelligence,
there is no one you can really trust, and that may be a big mistake.
Berry, Steve
The Emperor’s Tomb
Cotton Malone teams with old heartthrob Cassiopeia Vitt on a dangerous mission to retrieve a priceless
Chinese lamp that dates from the third century B.C.E. Two high-ranking Chinese government ministers,
hard-liner Karl Tang and more liberal Ni Yong, both of whom are vying to be China's next premier, covet
the ancient artifact. Tang, in particular, has left a trail of bodies in his own quest for the lamp, which,
unbeknownst to Malone and Vitt, contains the secret to how the country will surmount its biggest obstacle
to future economic growth, its dependence on foreign oil.
Brashares, Ann
My Name is Memory
Daniel has spent centuries falling in love with the same girl. Life after life, crossing continents and
dynasties, he and Sophia (despite her changing name and form) have been drawn together — and he
remembers it all. Daniel has the memory, the ability to recall past lives and recognize souls of those he's
previously known. It is a gift and a curse, for all the times that he and Sophia have been drawn together
throughout history, they have also been torn painfully, fatally, apart. Interwoven through Sophia and
Daniel's unfolding present day relationship are glimpses of their expansive history together. From 552 Asia
Minor to 1918 England and 1972 Virginia, the two souls share a long and sometimes torturous path of
seeking each other time and time again. But just when young Sophia (now Lucy in the present) finally
begins to awaken to the secret of their shared past, to understand the true reason for the strength of their
attraction, the mysterious force that has always torn them apart reappears. Ultimately, they must come to
understand what stands in the way of their love if they are ever to spend a lifetime together.
Burke, James Lee
The Glass Rainbow
A gruesome series of murders drags Detective Dave Robicheaux, of the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Department,
out of his jurisdiction and onto the track of another harrowing cluster of high crimes and misdemeanors.
The officers in Jeff Davis Parish say all seven victims of the area’s killer were prostitutes. But convict
Elmore Latiolais insists that his sister Bernadette, an honors student headed for a nursing scholarship,
didn't fit that pattern. A casual remark by Herman Stanga, the pimp Elmore says tried to kill him, that he's
connected to the charitable St. Jude Project, puts Dave on a collision course with his daughter Alafair's
boyfriend Kermit Abelard, his wealthy, dysfunctional family, and his latest protégé — the convict-turnedauthor Robert Weingart. As his daughter seems to drift away from him, he wonders if he has become a
victim of his own paranoia. But as usual, Robicheaux's instincts are proven correct, and he finds himself
dealing with a level of evil that is greater than any enemy he has confronted in the past.
Child, Lee
Worth Dying For
There's deadly trouble in the corn country of Nebraska and drifter and one-man-army Jack Reacher walks
right into it. First he falls foul of the Duncans, a local clan that has terrified an entire county into submission.
But it's the unsolved case of a missing child, already decades-old, that Reacher can't let go. The Duncans
want Reacher gone — and it's not just past secrets they're trying to hide. They're awaiting a secret
shipment that's already late — and they have the kind of customers no one can afford to annoy. For, as
dangerous as the Duncans are, they're just the bottom of a criminal food chain stretching halfway around
the world. In characteristic fashion, heartless bad guys who abuse good-hearted little people will get their
comeuppance as Reacher continues his utterly perverse, aggressive stint as the good Samaritan.
Chopra, Deepak
Muhammad
Rooted in historical detail, Chopra’s “Muhammad” brings the prophet to life through the eyes of those
around him. Muhammad didn't see himself as the son of God or as one who achieved cosmic
enlightenment. His relatives and neighbors didn't part the way when he walked down the parched dirt
streets of Mecca. A Christian hermit mystic foretold his special destiny, a pugnacious Bedouin wet nurse
raised him in the desert, and a religious rebel in Mecca secretly took the young orphan under his spiritual
wing. Rooted in historical detail, Muhammad's life is not a myth but surprisingly unknown story of a man
that sparked a worldwide movement and transformation.
Connelly, Michael
The Reversal
Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile
retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated
by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he
gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case
fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney
who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years.
With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all.
If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.
Cornwell, Bernard
The Fort
Cornwell delivers a fictionalized account of a disastrous 1779 American military campaign in today's Maine
that's heavy on historical figures and tense battle scenes. After the British establish a fort on the Penobscot
River, the patriots mount an expedition to oust the redcoats. Unfortunately, the campaign is poorly planned
and ineptly executed, pitting an ill-trained and undisciplined force against experienced British soldiers and
the Royal Navy. The commander of the American land force is Gen. Solomon Lovell, a useless Boston
politician, and the American navy is led by Cmdr. Dudley Saltonstall, an obstinate officer who refuses to
risk his ships. Then there's Paul Revere, artillery commander and shameful yellow belly. In fact, the only
American officer with any spirit for a fight is a former schoolteacher, Gen. Peleg Wadsworth. This is a
rousing yarn of clashing personalities, crashing cannons, and lively musket and bayonet work, along with
spies, cowardice, and moments of incredible bravery. Cornwell presents a fascinating, accurate, and
exciting history lesson enlivened with a generous blast of gun smoke.
Cussler, Clive
Spartan Gold
Thousands of years ago, the Persian king Xerxes the Great was said to have raided the Treasury at
Delphi, carrying away two solid gold pillars as tribute. In 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte and his army stumble
across the pillars in the Pennine Alps. Unable to transport them Napoleon creates a map on the labels of
twelve bottles of rare wine. And when Napoleon dies, the bottles disappear. Treasure hunters Sam and
Remi Fargo are exploring the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Delaware when they are shocked to discover a
World War II German u-boat. Inside, they find a bottle taken from Napoleon's "lost cellar." Fascinated, the
Fargos set out to find the rest of the collection.
Cussler, Clive
The Wrecker
In 1907, in the midst of financial panic and labor unrest, someone is out to destroy a major railroad by
wrecking trains, blowing up tunnels and bridges, and killing people. Railroad detective Isaac Bell is brought
in to bring the Wrecker to justice. The Wrecker traverses the vast spaces of the American West as if he
had wings, striking wherever he pleases, causing untold damage, but who is he? What does he want? Is
he a striker? An anarchist? A revolutionary determined to displace the "privileged few"? Whoever he is,
whatever his motives, the Wrecker knows how to create maximum havoc, and Bell senses that he is far
from done-that, in fact, the Wrecker is building up to a grand act unlike anything he has committed before.
Dershowitz, Alan M.
The Trials of Zion
After a shocking act of terror brings the Middle East to the brink of war and a possibly innocent Palestinian
is arrested for the crime, a famed Jewish-American criminal defense attorney and his son join the defense
team and must take into account the whole tormented history of the Holy Land from every possible angle if
they are going to win the case.
Evanovich, Janet
Wicked Appetite
Seven Stones of Power, each said to represent one of the Seven Deadly Sins: No one knows when they
were created or by whom, but for centuries, treasure hunters have been eager to possess them,
undeterred by their corrupting nature. The list is long — Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, to
name a few. Now the Stones have found their way to Salem, Massachusetts, and so has Gerwulf Grimoire,
adding himself to this rogues' gallery of power seekers. He's an uncommonly dangerous man, with a
hunger for the forbidden, and a set of abilities that are way beyond ordinary. Abilities that he feels entitle
him to possess anything he might desire.
Evans, Nicholas
Brave
There’s little love in eight-year-old Tom Bedford’s life. His parents are old and remote and the boarding
school they’ve sent him to bristles with bullies and sadistic staff. The only comfort he gets is from his
fantasy world of Cowboys and Indians. But when his sister Diane, a rising star of stage and screen, falls in
love with one of his idols, the suave TV cowboy Ray Montane, Tom’s life is transformed. They move to
Hollywood and all his dreams seem to have come true. Soon, however, the sinister side of Tinseltown
casts its shadow and a shocking act of violence changes their lives forever.
Flagg, Fannie
I Still Dream About You
Maggie Fortenberry, the still beautiful ex-Miss Alabama and former model, has returned to her home town
of Birmingham and is now selling real estate in the high-end market of Mountain Brook. On the outside,
Maggie may appear to others to be cool, calm, and collected, but for years, she has been living with a
painful and secret past. Now that the bottom has suddenly fallen out of the real estate market, her future is
not looking all that great, either. Maggie finds herself with a dilemma that many baby booomers are facing
these days: “Too young to retire, and too old to start a new profession.” Now what? After months of long,
sleepless nights, Maggie finally comes up with what she thinks is “the perfect plan” for what to do with the
rest of her life. But as we all know, plans don’t always turn out the way we expect.
Francis, Dick & Felix
Crossfire
Captain Thomas Forsyth's tour of Afghanistan is cut brutally short when he's badly wounded by a roadside
bomb. Tom's world is torn apart by the injury. The army is his life. Six months of recuperation leave is a
daunting prospect but not as bleak as the probability of never rejoining his regiment. Tom returns to
Lambourn, to his childhood home, where his mother is a racehorse trainer and the ‘First Lady’ of racing.
When his mother’s prize horse finishes a disappointing last place in a race he should have won, Tom
discovers that the training business is on the edge, and facing a threat far more dangerous than a run of
bad form. Tom finds himself on a very different, but just as deadly, battlefield where his military skills are
tested … is he going to kill or be killed?
Gerritsen, Tess
Ice Cold
In Wyoming, Boston medical examiner Maura Isles joins a group of friends on a ski trip. When their SUV
stalls on a snow-choked mountain road, they’re stranded with no help in sight. As night falls, the group
seeks refuge from the blizzard in the remote village of Kingdom Come, where 12 eerily identical houses
stand dark and abandoned. Days later, Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli receives the grim news that
Maura's charred body has been found in a mountain ravine. Shocked and grieving, Jane is determined to
learn what happened to her friend.
Gregory, Philippa
The White Queen
Elizabeth Woodville, of the House of Lancaster, is widowed when her husband is killed in battle. Aided and
abetted by the raw ambition and witchcraft skills of her mother Jaquetta, Elizabeth seduces and marries, in
secret, King Edward IV, of the family of the white rose, the House of York. As long as there are other
claimants to Edward's throne, the profound rivalries between the two families will never be laid to rest.
Violent conflict, shocking betrayal, and murder dominate Elizabeth's life as Queen of England, passionate
wife of Edward and devoted mother of their children; a common woman who ascends to royalty by virtue
of her beauty, who rises to the demands of her position and fights tenaciously for the survival of her family.
Grisham, John
The Confession
In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, Travis Boyette abducted, raped, and strangled a popular
high school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement
as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off
to death row. Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in Kansas for a different crime;
Donté is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor. For the first time
in his miserable life, he decides to do what’s right and confess. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers,
judges, and politicians that they’re about to execute an innocent man?
Gruen, Sara
Ape House
Sam, Bonzi, Lola, Mbongo, Jelani, and Makena are no ordinary apes. Not only are they capable of reason
and carrying on deep relationships, but unlike most bonobos, they also know American Sign Language.
Isabel Duncan, a scientist at the Great Ape Language Lab, doesn’t understand people, but animals she
gets. Isabel feels more comfortable in their world than she’s ever felt among humans ... until she meets
John Thigpen, a very married reporter who braves the ever-present animal rights protesters outside the lab
to see what’s really going on inside. When an explosion rocks the lab, injuring Isabel and “liberating” the
apes, John’s piece turns into the story of a lifetime, one he’ll risk his marriage to follow. Then a reality TV
show featuring the missing apes debuts under mysterious circumstances, and it immediately becomes the
biggest and unlikeliest phenomenon in the history of modern media. Millions of fans are glued to their
screens watching the apes order greasy take-out, explore their casual dalliances, and sign for Isabel to
come get them. Now, to save her family of apes from this parody of human life, Isabel must connect with
her own kind, including John, a green-haired vegan, and a retired porn star with her own agenda.
Hart, Carolyn
Ghost in Trouble
When Bailey Ruth Raeburn passed over into the great beyond, she was delighted to discover her sleuthing
days would last an eternity. Joining Heaven's Department of Good Intentions, she uses her unique
advantages as a ghost — sometimes you see her, sometimes you don't — to help those in need and
ensure the wicked get their just deserts. However, on this latest mission, Bailey Ruth finds it more difficult
than ever to keep up with her boss Wiggins's rules for good spirit deportment. Not only is the woman she is
supposed to save determined to thwart Bailey Ruth's good intentions at every turn, she just so happens to
be one of Bailey Ruth's oldest enemies. Not that that should matter to one of Heaven's best and brightest
emissaries, but still, there is only so much a person can put up with — living or dead.
Higgins, Jack
In the Hour Before Midnight
When Stacy Wyatt is broken out of prison and brought to Sicily, his only choice is to enter the mob.
Assigned to rescue a wealthy businessman's daughter from a bandit kidnapper, it's only after he's in too
deep that he realizes the job was a setup, and the only person left to trust is himself.
Isaacs, Susan
As Husbands Go
Susie B. Anthony Rabinowitz Gersten assumed her marriage was great. But when her husband Jonah
Gersten, M.D., a Park Avenue plastic surgeon, is found dead in the Upper East Side apartment of secondrate "escort" Dorinda Dillon, Susie is overwhelmed with questions left unanswered. It's bad enough to know
your husband's been murdered, but even worse when you're universally pitied (and quietly mocked)
because of the sleaze factor. None of it makes sense to Susie — not a sexual liaison with someone like
Dorinda, not the "better not to discuss it" response from Jonah's partners. With help from her tough-talking,
high-style Grandma Ethel who flies in from Miami, she takes on her snooty in-laws, her husband's partners,
the NYPD, and the DA as she searches not so much for answers to her husband's death, as for answers to
her own life.
Johansen, Iris
Shadow Zone

beneath the Atlantic Ocean. The secret that doomed Marinth's civilization to decline is still present, and in
the wrong hands, could be a threat to hundreds of millions of people. As malevolent arms merchant
Vincent Gadiare and his femme-fatale lover, Anna Devareau, maneuver to get their hands on Marinth's
secret, Hannah Bryson, world-class submarine designer, gathers her own legion of experts, including her
own love interest, enigmatic assassin Nicholas Kirov in a deadly race against time.

In the Company of Others
In Karon's latest, Timothy Kavanagh, the moral center of the beloved Mitford series, hops the Atlantic for a
long anticipated vacation in the Irish countryside. He and his wife settle in at Broughadoon, a B&B run by
Liam and Anna Conor in County Sligo, and Father Tim is happy to be reacquainted with his ancestral
homeland. He's particularly taken with Catharmore, a sprawling 19th-century estate that was Liam's
childhood home. When their stay is extended because of an injury, the Kavanaghs pass the time reading
up on Catharmore's history, helping out around the grounds, and getting to know the area's many colorful
characters. Father Tim assumes the role of confidant and adviser to the Conors and their extended family,
investigating a burglary, helping unburden Liam and Anna of long-held secrets, and aiding Liam's alcoholic
mother to recover her lost faith.
Kellerman, Faye
Hangman
Fifteen years ago, high school senior Chris Whitman went to jail for murdering his girlfriend, Cheryl Diggs.
Propelled by a misguided sense of chivalry, he confessed, determined to save another classmate, the
beautiful and vulnerable Terry McLaughlin, from having to testify at his trial. When the truth came out, Chris
was released from prison, married Terry — pregnant with his child — and changed his last name to
Donatti. He also became a professional killer. Peter Decker was the detective on the case, and over the
years, he and Terry kept in touch. Now Terry is in L.A. and asking for a favor. Though Decker knows full
well that getting involved will bring her sociopathic husband back into his life, the obsessive and dutybound LAPD lieutenant reluctantly agrees. The favor soon becomes complicated when Terry goes missing
and Donatti disappears, leaving their 14-year-old son, Gabe, with no one to turn to except Decker and his
wife, Rina Lazarus. Then, as Decker hunts for his missing friend, two young women, both call girls, are
found murdered. Was this unusually cruel and very dramatic murder the first signs of a serial killer? With
lives hanging in the balance, Decker needs to find answers and fast.
Khoury, Raymond
The Templar Salvation
Khoury’s follow-up to his very popular “The Last Templar” begins in the year 1203. Constantinople is under
siege, and a small band of Knights Templars has snuck into the city and stolen valuable documents from
the imperial library. After taking refuge in a monastery, the Templars are murdered, never having learned
the contents of the documents. In the present day, an Iranian history professor is given an ultimatum: finish
his work on a certain historical artifact, or his family will be killed. Meanwhile, FBI agent Sean Reilly is
compelled to smuggle ancient documents out of the Vatican archives if he wants to see his lover, Tess
Chaykin, again. The Catholic Church has kept this material hidden since the fall of Constantinople, fearful
that its release would undermine the church's authority and rock the foundations of Christian belief. The
historical framework of the Catholic Church and it's turbulent relationship with the Knights Templar is put on
a collision course with the world’s modern geopolitical condition in this very well constructed blend of
historical mystery and present-day thriller.

liquefied natural gas.
Lippman, Laura
I’d know you Anywhere
In the summer of 1985, when she was 15, Eliza was kidnapped by Walter and held hostage for almost six
weeks. He had definitely killed at least one girl, but Eliza always suspected he had other victims as well.
Now on death row in Virginia for the rape and murder of his final victim, Walter seems to be making a
heartfelt act of contrition as his execution nears. When he contacts Eliza for forgiveness, Eliza wants
nothing to do with him, but she's never forgotten that Walter was most unpredictable when ignored.
Desperate to shelter her children from this hidden trauma in her past, she cautiously returns Walter’s
contact. She's always wondered why Walter let her live — and perhaps now he'll tell her — and share the
truth about his other victims. Yet as Walter presses her for more and deeper contact, it becomes clear that
he is after something greater than forgiveness. He wants Eliza to remember what really happened that
long-ago summer. He wants her to save his life. And Eliza, who has worked hard for her comfortable,
cocooned life, will do anything to protect it — even if it means finally facing the events of that horrifying
summer and the terrible truth she's kept buried inside.
McCall Smith, Alexander
The Charming Quirks of Others
Isabel Dalhousie, the inquisitive Scottish philosopher and sometime private investigator, comes to see that
there are very few who are not flawed — herself included. Isabel has been asked for her help in a rather
tricky situation: A successor is being sought for the headmaster at a local boys’ school. The board has
three final candidates but has received an anonymous letter alleging that one of them has a very serious
skeleton in the closet. Could Isabel discreetly look into it? And so she does. What she discovers about all
the candidates is surprising, but what she discovers about herself and about Jamie, the father of her young
son, turns out to be equally revealing. Isabel’s investigation will have her exploring issues of ambition, as
well as of charity, forgiveness, and humility, as she moves nearer and nearer to some of the most hidden
precincts of the heart. Here is Isabel Dalhousie at her beguiling best: intelligent, insightful, and with a
unique understanding of the quirks of human nature.
McCall Smith, Alexander
Corduroy Mansions
Corduroy Mansions is the affectionate nickname given to a genteel, crumbling mansion block in London’s
vibrant Pimlico neighborhood, and the home turf of a host of captivating and quirky characters. There’s the
middle-aged wine merchant William, who’s trying to convince his reluctant 24-year-old son, Eddie, to leave
the nest; and Marcia, the restaurant propriatrix who has her sights set on William. There’s also the
(justifiably) much-loathed member of Parliament, Oedipus Snark; his mother, Berthea, who’s writing his
biography and loathing every minute of him; and his long-suffering girlfriend, Barbara, a literary agent who
would like to be his wife (but, then, she’d like to be almost anyone’s wife). There’s the vitamin evangelist,
the psychoanalyst, the art student with a puzzling boyfriend, and the resident Pimlico terrier, Freddie de la
Haye, who can fasten his own seat belt and is almost certainly the only avowed vegetarian canine in
London. The comings and goings, the face-to-face and behind-the-back meetings and misses, the in and
outs of neighborliness in all its unexpected variations is here, filled with all the life, laughter, and humanity
that we have come to expect from McCall Smith.
Martin, Steve
An Object of Beauty
Lacey Yeager is an ambitious young art dealer who uses everything at her disposal to advance in the world
of the high-end art trade in New York City. After cutting her teeth at Sotheby's, she manipulates her way up
through Barton Talley's gallery of 'Very Expensive Paintings,' sleeping with patrons, and dodging and
indulging in questionable deals and possible felonies until she opens her own gallery in Chelsea. Narrated
by Lacey's journalist friend, Daniel Franks, whose droll voice is a remarkable stand-in for Martin's own, the
world is ordered and knowable, blindly barreling onward until 9/11. And while Lacey and the art she
peddles survive, the wealth and prestige garnered by greed do not. Martin (an art collector himself) is an
astute miniaturist as he exposes the sound and fury of the rarified Manhattan art world. This book is about
the absence of a moral compass, not just in the life of an adventuress but for an entire era.
Maupin, Armistead
Mary Ann in Autumn
After suffering personal calamities in New York, Mary Ann Singleton moves back to San Francisco after
being gone for 20 years and begins to slowly rebuild her life, only to confront fresh terrors when her past
comes back to haunt her. Now, nearing 60, she's back with news she can't bear to tell anyone but her old
friend Michael. From the haven of his tiny garden cottage, Mary Ann regroups and confronts some
uncomfortable chapters in her past.
Maynard, Joyce
Good Daughters
Ruth and Dana were born on the same day, in the same small New Hampshire hospital, into families that
could hardly have been less alike. Ruth Plank is an artist and a romantic with a rich, passionate,
imaginative life. The last of five girls born to a gentle, caring farmer and his stolid wife, she yearns to soar
beyond the confines of the land that has been her family's birthright for generations. Dana Dickerson is a
scientist and realist whose faith is firmly planted in the natural world. Raised by a pair of capricious drifters
who waste their lives on failed dreams, she longs for stability and rootedness. Different in nearly every
way, Ruth and Dana share a need to make sense of who they are and to find their places in a world in
which neither has ever truly felt she belonged. Told in their alternating voices, this novel follows these
"birthday sisters" as they make their way from the 1950s to the present chronicling the unlikely ways the
their lives parallel and intersect — from childhood and adolescence to first loves, first sex, marriage, and
parenthood; from the deaths of parents to divorce, the loss of home, and the loss of a beloved partner —
until past secrets and forgotten memories unexpectedly come to light, forcing them to reevaluate
themselves and each other.
Meyer, Stephenie
Breaking Dawn
To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare woven into a dangerously
heightened reality for Bella Swan. Pulled in one direction by her intense passion for immortal vampire
Edward Cullen, and in another by her profound connection to werewolf Jacob Black, a tumultuous year of
temptation, loss, and strife have led her to the ultimate turning point. Her imminent choice to either join the
dark but seductive world of immortals or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the
fates of two warring tribes hang. Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of unprecedented
events is about to unfold with potentially devastating, and unfathomable, consequences. Just when the
frayed strands of Bella's life, first discovered in “Twilight,” then scattered and torn in “New Moon” and
“Eclipse,” seem ready to heal and knit together, could they be destroyed …forever?

Naslund, Sena Jeter
Adam & Eve
In 2017, just hours before his highly suspicious death, world-renowned astrophysicist Thom Bergmann
shares his discovery of extraterrestrial life with his wife, Lucy. Feeling that the warring world is not ready to
learn of — or accept — proof of life elsewhere in the universe, Thom entrusts Lucy with his computer flash
drive, which holds the keys to his secret work. Devastated by Thom's death, Lucy keeps his secret, but
Thom's friend, anthropologist Pierre Saad, contacts Lucy with an unusual and dangerous request. Pierre
needs Lucy to help him smuggle a newly discovered artifact out of Egypt: an ancient codex concerning the
human authorship of the Book of Genesis. Offering a reinterpretation of the creation story, the document is
sure to threaten the foundation of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religions ... and there are those who
will stop at nothing to suppress it. Midway through the daring journey, Lucy's small plane goes down on a
slip of verdant land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the Middle East. Burned in the crash
landing, she is rescued by Adam, a delusional American soldier whose search for both spiritual and carnal
knowledge has led to madness. Blessed with youth, beauty, and an unsettling innocence, Adam gently
tends to Lucy's wounds, and in this quiet, solitary paradise, a bond between the unlikely pair grows.
Ultimately, Lucy and Adam forsake their half-mythical Eden and make their way back toward civilization,
where members of an ultraconservative religious cult are determined to deprive the world of the knowledge
Lucy carries. Elements of this ambitious novel sound unhinged, but this thriller is rich in discourses on
religion, fanaticism, the meaning of ancient cave art, the speculative future, and love.

movements — information that only a Washington insider could possess. As Alex contends with the sniper,
Siegel, and the wedding, he receives a call from his deadliest adversary, Kyle Craig. Danger escalates as
the “Mastermind” is in D.C. and will not relent until he has eliminated Cross and his family for good.

McCarran — now one of the army's most distinguished generals — became best friends with Jack
Gallagher, a fellow West Pointer who was later killed in Vietnam. Now a new generation of soldiers faces
combat, and Lt. Brian McCarran, the general's son, has returned from a harrowing tour in Iraq.
Traumatized by wartime experiences he will not reveal, Brian depends on his lifelong friendship with Kate
Gallagher, Jack's daughter, who is married to Brian's commanding officer in Iraq, Capt. Joe D'Abruzzo. But
since coming home, D'Abruzzo also seems changed by the experiences he and Brian shared — he's
become secretive and remote. Tragedy strikes when Brian shoots and kills D'Abruzzo on their army post in
Virginia. Brian pleads self-defense, claiming that D'Abruzzo, a black-belt martial artist, came to his
quarters, accused him of interfering with his marriage, and attacked him. Kate supports Brian and says that
her husband had become violent and abusive. But Brian and Kate have secrets of their own, and now
Capt. Paul Terry, one of the army's most accomplished young lawyers, will defend Brian in a high-profile
court-martial. Terry's co-counsel is Meg McCarran, Brian's sister, a brilliant and beautiful attorney who
insists on leaving her practice in San Francisco to help save her brother. Before the case is over, Terry will
become deeply entwined with Meg and the McCarrans — and learn that families, like war, can break the
sturdiest of souls.
Rendell, Ruth
Portobello
In the gentrified neighborhood of London’s Notting Hill, walking to the shops one day, 50-year-old Eugene
Wren discovers an envelope on the street bulging with cash. A man plagued by a shameful addiction —
and his own good intentions — Wren hatches a plan to find the money’s rightful owner. Instead of going to
the police, or taking the cash for himself, he prints a notice and posts it around Portobello Road. This ill conceived act creates a chain of events that links Wren to other Londoners — people afflicted with their
own obsessions and despairs. As these volatile characters come into Wren’s life — and the life of his
trusting fiancée — the consequences will change them.

Of Love and Evil
Toby O’Dare, the assassin who started on the path to redemption in “Angel Time,” continues his quest for
salvation. He has just learned that he’s the father of a 10-year-old boy and is nervously awaiting the arrival
of his former lover, Liona, and their son at the Mission Inn in California. He longs to be a part of the boy’s
life and to rekindle his relationship with Liona, but he is summoned on another time-traveling errand of
mercy by the angel Malchiah. This time Toby is transported to 15th-century Rome to respond to the prayer
of a Jewish physician named Vitale, whose best friend and patient, Niccolò, has clearly been poisoned.
Given the city’s virulent anti-Semitism, Vitale is at risk if the real culprit isn’t discovered. In addition to
helping Vitale save Niccolò, Toby must discover the origins of an angry spirit that is haunting the house
Vitale lives in. Toby is surprised by the dangers he faces, and when tragedy ensues, his faith is shaken,
leaving him vulnerable to powers of evil lying in wait to exploit his weakness.
Roberts, Nora
Happy Ever After
As the public face of Vows wedding planning company, Parker Brown has an uncanny knack for fulfilling
every bride's vision. She just can't see where her own life is headed. Mechanic Malcomb Kavanaugh loves
figuring out how things work, and Parker is no exception. Both know that moving from minor flirtation to
major hook-up is a serious step. Parker's business risks have always paid off, but now she'll have to take
the chance of a lifetime with her heart.
Roberts, Nora
The Search
Fiona Bristow seems to have an idyllic life — a quaint house on an island off Seattle's coast, a thriving dogtraining business, and a challenging volunteer job performing canine search-and-rescues. But Fiona got to
this point by surviving a nightmare. Several years ago, Fiona was the only survivor of the Red Scarf serial
killer, who killed Fiona's cop fiancé and his K-9 partner. On Orcas Island, Fiona found the peace and
solitude she needed to rebuild her life; all that changes, however, on the day Simon Doyle barrels up her
drive, desperate for help. The reluctant owner of an out-of-control puppy, Jaws, foisted upon him by his
mother Simon is at his wit's end. To Fiona, Jaws is nothing she can't handle. Simon, however, is another
matter. A newcomer to Orcas, he's a rugged and an intensely private artist, known for the exquisite
furniture he creates from wood. Simon never wanted a puppy — and he most definitely doesn't want a
woman. As Fiona embarks on training Jaws and Simon begins to appreciate both dog and trainer, the past
tears back into Fiona's life. A copycat killer has emerged out of the shadows, a man whose bloodlust has
been channeled by a master with one motive: to reclaim the woman who slipped out of his hands.
Roth, Philip
Nemesis
In the summer of 1944, a wartime polio epidemic ravages the closely knit, family-oriented Newark, New
Jersey community and its children. At the center of things is a vigorous, dutiful 23-year-old playground
director, Bucky Cantor, a javelin thrower and weightlifter, who is devoted to his charges and disappointed
with himself because his weak eyes have excluded him from serving in the war alongside his
contemporaries. As polio begins to ravage Bucky’s playground Roth leads readers through every inch of
emotion such a pestilence can breed: the fear, the panic, the anger, the bewilderment, the suffering, and
the pain. Through this story runs the dark questions: What kind of accidental choices fatally shape a life?
And, how does the individual withstand the onslaught of circumstance?
Sandford, John
Bad Blood
After 19-year-old Bob Tripp hits farmer Jacob Flood in the head with a T-ball bat, Tripp's attempt to make
murder look like an accident fails. The morning after Tripp's arrest, he's found hanging in his cell. Warren
County sheriff Lee Coakley seeks Virgil Flowers's help to investigate what role, if any, deputy Jim Crocker,
the officer on duty at the jail at the time, played in Tripp's death. A link to the earlier murder of a young
woman leads Flowers and Coakley to members of a small church with strange ways. As the pair become
aware of the magnitude of the unspeakable crimes behind the deaths, they search desperately for a lever
to pry open what turns out to be Flowers's biggest, if perhaps most unlikely, case to date.
Shreve, Anita
Rescue
Rookie paramedic Peter Webster pulls a young woman alive from her totaled car, in a first rescue that
begins a lifelong tangle of love and wreckage. Sheila Arsenault is a gorgeous enigma, streetwise and
tough-talking, with haunted eyes, fierce desires, and a never-look-back determination. Peter is as straight
as an arrow and falls for her instantly and entirely. The two embark on an affair that evolves into marriage
and parenthood with the birth of their daughter, Rowan. Sheila's drinking, meanwhile, escalates until she
causes another accident, this time with young Rowan in the car, causing Webster to send Sheila away to
avoid jail time. Years later, with not a word from long-gone Sheila, Rowan is a turmoil-ridden high school
senior — moody, her grades slipping, she begins drinking so heavily that her tribulations prompt Webster
to reach out to Sheila who he has not heard from in 16 years. As Rowan is veering dangerously off track,
Sheila's sudden return may be a godsend — or it may be exactly the wrong moment for a lifetime of
questions and anger and longing to surface anew, in this story of love, duty, addiction, and loss .
Sparks, Nicholas
Safe Haven
When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, her
sudden arrival raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid
forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a
widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single
neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the
close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family. But even as Katie begins
to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her ... a past that set her on a
fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's empathic and
stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one
of riskier rewards ... and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.

Legacy
An anthropologist and an admissions officer at Boston University, Brigette is having a streak of bad luck.
First, her archaeologist boyfriend of six years announces that he’s finally gotten his own dig in Egypt and
breaks up with her; then she loses her job. At loose ends, Brigette goes home to her mother, who is
zealously pursuing her family’s genealogy. Brigette has no interest in her ancestors, but when she agrees
to help her mom with the research, what she finds out about their past changes the course of her life.
Fascinated by Wachiwi, the Crow princess who married a French marquis, Brigette follows the threads of
Wachiwi's life, to South Dakota, then on to Paris. As she comes closer to solving the puzzle of Wachiwi's
journey, her previously safe, quiet life becomes an adventure of its own. A chance meeting with a writer of
historical fiction, a new opportunity, and a difficult choice put Brigitte at last in the forefront of her own story.
Wambaugh, Joseph
Hollywood Hills
LAPD veteran "Hollywood Nate" Weiss could take or leave the opulence, but he wouldn't say no to
onscreen fame. He may get his shot when he catches the appreciative eye of B-list director Rudy Ressler,
and his troublemaking fiancée, Leona Brueger. Nate tries to elude her crafty seductions, but consents to
keep an eye on their estate in the Hollywood Hills while they're away. Also minding the mansion is Raleigh
Dibble, a hapless ex-con trying to put the past behind him. Raleigh is all too happy to be set up for the job
— as butler-cum-watchdog — by Nigel Wickland, Leona's impeccably dressed art dealer. What Raleigh
doesn't realize is that under the natty clothes and posh accent, Nigel has a nefarious plan: two paintings
hanging on the mansion's walls will guarantee them more money than they've ever seen. Everyone's
dreams are just within reach until a circle of teenage burglars that has taken to pillaging the homes of
Hollywood celebutants stumbles upon Nigel's heist. Soon Hollywood Nate, surfer cops Flotsam and
Jetsam, and the rest of the team at Hollywood Station have a deadly situation on their hands.
Woods, Stuart
Santa Fe Edge
Ready to begin again with his new wife, Susannah, attorney Ed Eagle is just thankful to be alive.
Unfortunately, his ex, Barbara, has escaped the Mexican prison where she was serving 20 years to life for
castrating a man, and is now on her way to settle her score with the happy couple. They'd better start
sleeping with one eye open if they want to survive — and even that is no guarantee. Add to Eagle’s
combustable mix, criminal mastermind and ex-CIA agent Teddy Fay, and his paramour, the ex-police
officer Lauren Cade, who are hiding out in Santa Fe. No sooner do they hit town than they realize that CIA
agent Todd Bacon is hot on their trail. With his career aspirations at stake, Todd is determined to bring
Teddy back, dead or alive.
