Against All Odds, by Danielle Steel. Taking chances is part of life, but when you bet your future against the
odds, it’s a high-risk game. Kate Madison’s stylish resale shop has
been a big SoHo success, supporting her and her four kids since her
husband’s untimely death. Now they are grown and ready to forge lives of
their own. And they all choose to play against the odds, to their
mother’s dismay. Kate can't keep her children from playing the odds, in love, career, and family matters. She knows that they must make, and learn from, their own mistakes. Billed as touching and wise. Fans won't want to miss out. Also available in Large Print.
16th Seduction, by James Patterson &
Maxine Paetro. Fifteen months ago, Detective Lindsay Boxer's life was perfect--she had a
beautiful child and a doting husband, Joe, who helped her catch a
criminal who'd brazenly detonated a bomb in downtown San Francisco,
killing twenty-five people. But Joe wasn't everything that Lindsay
thought he was, and she's still reeling from his betrayal as a wave of
mysterious, and possibly unnatural, heart attacks claims seemingly
unrelated victims across San Francisco. As if that weren't enough, the
bomber she and Joe captured is about to go on trial, and his defense
raises damning questions about Lindsay and Joe's investigation. Not
knowing whom to trust, and struggling to accept the truth about the man
she thought she knew, Lindsay must connect the dots of a deadly
conspiracy before a brilliant criminal puts her on trial. Patterson's long-running Women's Murder Club series has been a fan favorite for years. Also available in Large Print.
Gwendy’s Button Box, by Stephen King & Richard
Chizmar. King's new novella takes readers back to the little town of Castle Rock, Maine, where strange things happen. There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117,
Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974
twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by
strong (if time-rusted) iron bolts and zig-zag up the cliffside. It is here, at the top of the world that Gwendy meets a mysterious man and their chance encounter will give her nightmares for years to come. I have chills just thinking about it.
Nighthawk, by Clive Cussler & Graham Brown. When the most advanced aircraft ever designed vanishes over the South
Pacific, NUMA crew leaders Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are drawn into a deadly contest to
locate the fallen machine. Russia and China covet the radical
technology, but the United States worries about a darker problem. They
know what others don’t—that the X-37 is carrying a dangerous secret, a
payload of exotic matter, extracted from the upper reaches of the
atmosphere and stored at a temperature near absolute zero. As long as it
remains frozen, the cargo is inert, but if it thaws, it will unleash a
catastrophe of nearly unthinkable proportions...
