Omens: A Cainsville Novel
Armstrong, Kelley
In this launch of a new series from the author of the hugely popular “Otherworld” books, wealthy, 24-year-old Ivy Leaguer Olivia Taylor Jones is happily engaged when she discovers that she is adopted–and that her biological parents are serial killers imprisoned for life. Olivia’s efforts to find out more about them take her first to her mother’s former lawyer, Gabriel Walsh, and then to secretive Cainsville, IL, where she and Gabriel look into evidence that could prove her parents’ innocence. There, Olivia finds herself using strange talents hidden since childhood that give her special appeal to the spooky Cainsville residents while bringing out the bad guys.
The Whole Enchilada: A Novel of Suspense
Davidson, Diane Mott
When a colleague–a woman who resembles Goldy–is stabbed, and Goldy is attacked outside her house, it becomes clear that the popular caterer is the main course on a killer menu. With time running out, Goldy must roll up her sleeves, sharpen her knives, and make a meal out of a devious murderer, before that killer can serve her up cold.
Sweet Thunder
Doig, Ivan
In the winter of 1920, a quirky bequest draws Morrie Morgan back to Butte, Montana, from a year-long honeymoon with his bride, Grace. But the mansion bestowed by a former boss upon the itinerant charmer, who debuted in Doig’s bestselling “The Whistling Season,” promises to be less windfall than money pit. And the town itself, with its polyglot army of miners struggling to extricate themselves from the stranglehold of the ruthless Anaconda Copper Mining Company, seems–like the couple’s fast-diminishing finances–on the verge of implosion.
The Kill List
Forsyth, Frederick In Virginia, there is an agency bearing the bland name of Technical Operations Support Activity, or TOSA. Its one mission is to track, find, and kill those so dangerous to the United States that they are on a short document known as the Kill List. TOSA actually exists. So does the Kill List. Hotshot Garwood, Julie Peyton Lockhart and her sisters have inherited Bishop’s Cove, a small, luxurious oceanfront resort, but it comes with a condition: The girls must run the resort for one year and show a profit–only then will they own it. It’s soon apparent to Peyton that their efforts are being sabotaged, but she refuses to let the threats scare her–until she’s nearly killed. She calls on her childhood friend and protector, Finn MacBain, now with the FBI, and asks for his help. He saved her life once; he can do it again? The Last Witness Griffin, W. E. B. / Butterworth, William E. Russian girls are being smuggled in to work in the sex trade, and now some of them are dying or just disappearing. The trail leads right to Philadelphia–where Payne learns that’s not all. It isn’t just Russian girls who are vanishing. Teenage girls are being lured from foster homes. Police department sources are turning up dead. The lone living witness has gone into hiding, with everybody–the Russians, the cartels, some of Philadelphia’s most powerful politicians–all looking for her. It’s up to Payne to find her–and hope he gets to her first. I, Saul Jenkins, Jerry B. / MacDonald, James Told from the point of view of the disciple Luke, the apostle Paul and “Auggie,” a modern-day scholar, I, Saul, is a fast-paced story of intrigue and mystery. Readers will be reminded of Indiana Jones and the DiVinci code as they become absorbed in this page-turner by a master storyteller. Along the way they will learn of the fictionalized but plausible story of the life of Saul who relentlessly persecuted Christ’s followers prior to his conversion when he became known as Paul. The Beast Kellerman, Faye Beast by Faye Kellerman has descriptive copy which is not yet available from the Publisher. Mistress Patterson, James / Ellis, David Ben isn’t like most people. Unable to control his racing thoughts, he’s a man consumed by his obsessions: movies, motorcycles, presidential trivia-and Diana Hotchkiss, a beautiful woman Ben knows he can never have. When Diana is found dead outside her apartment, Ben’s infatuation drives him on a hunt to find out what happened to the love of his life. Ben soon discovers that the woman he pined for was hiding a shocking double life. And now someone is out to stop Ben from uncovering the truth about Diana’s illicit affairs. Bones of the Lost: A Temperance Brennan Novel Reichs, Kathy When Charlotte police discover the body of a teenage girl along a desolate stretch of two-lane highway, Temperance Brennan fears the worst. The girl’s body shows signs of foul play. Inside her purse police find the ID card of a prominent local businessman, John-Henry Story, who died in a horrific flea market fire months earlier. Was the girl an illegal immigrant turning tricks? Was she murdered? The Last Kiss Goodbye: A Charlotte Stone Novel Robards, Karen Dr. Charlotte “Charlie” Stone has dedicated her career as a psychiatrist to exploring the darkest territory of all: the hearts and minds of serial killers. It’s a job she’s uniquely suited for, thanks to the secret talent that gives her an uncanny edge–Charlie can see dead people, whose tormented spirits cry out to her for the justice only she can provide. This blessing–or curse–gives Charlie the power to hunt down and catch madmen and murderers. It’s also turned her love life upside down by drawing her into a hopelessly passionate relationship with the lingering ghost of charismatic bad boy Michael Garland. Posted by Jenifer Brown

But when the suspect disappears, members of both tribes refuse to speak to Jim.

This time, though, her Park relationships may not be enough to sort out the truth hidden in the tales of tragedy and revenge.

The Power Trip
Collins, Jackie
From Hollywood icon and mega-seller Jackie Collins comes a thrilling new novel, The Power Trip, set on a state of the art luxury yacht off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. A tropical getaway with a cast of global power-hungry elites turns sour when they find out maybe they don’t control as much of the world as they thought . . .
Touch & Go
Gardner, Lisa
The creepy meter is off the charts–though not sensationalized–with children the target of physical, psychological, and sexual abuse at the hands of both strangers and parents. And, somehow, miraculously without any contrivance, Gardner’s conclusion delivers a welcome glimmer of hope.
Deadly Stakes
Jance, Judith A.
In Deadly Stakes, police academy-trained former reporter Ali Reynolds is contacted to investigate the grisly murder of a gold-digging divorcee on behalf of a woman accused of the crime. Lynn Martinson is dating the dead woman’s ex-husband, and she and her boyfriend Chip Ralston have been charged.
Guilt: An Alex Delaware Novel
Kellerman, Jonathan
A backyard renovation unearths an infant’s body, buried sixty years ago. And soon thereafter in a nearby park, another disturbingly bizarre discovery is made not far from the body of a young woman shot in the head. Helping LAPD homicide detective Milo Sturgis to link these eerie incidents is brilliant psychologist Alex Delaware. But even the good doctor’s vast experience with matters both clinical and criminal might not be enough to cut down to the bone of this chilling case and draw out the disturbing truth.
