Need a new thriller to peak your interest? There are so many to choose from coming out in the next few weeks. Here's a sampling, just to whet your appetite...
The President is Missing, by Bill Clinton & James Patterson. Filled with the kind of inside information that only a former president can know, this new thriller written by Clinton and Patterson is groundbreaking. Uncertainty grips the nation as whispers of espionage and cyberterror begin to circulate. Security at the White House is tight, but after the President himself comes under suspicion, he goes missing from public view. Readers are lining up already, so I suggest placing your hold now!
Also available in Large Print.
The Outsider, by Stephen King. Coming out toward the end of May (the publication date was moved up, as sometimes happens), King's latest is an extension of his Bill Hodges detective trilogy (Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch). Det. Ralph Anderson seems to have beloved baseball coach Terry Maitland dead to rights when he publicly arrests him for the grisly murder of an 11-year-old boy. Except that even though Maitland's DNA and fingerprints had been found at the scene, he's got a rock-solid alibi. These contradictions bring investigators to work with Holly Gibney, the former assistant of Hodges. What begins as a hunt for a possible doppelganger soon takes a classic King turn for the supernatural. Fans, myself included, cannot wait.
Liar, Liar, by Lisa Jackson. To detectives, it looks like a straightforward suicide, or perhaps a publicity stunt gone wrong--a leap from a skyscraper by an aging former Las Vegas celebrity impersonator after publishing a tell-all memoir. But her star was on the rise again after decades out of the business, so why would Didi have killed herself. Her daughter, Remmi, however, knows something more sinister is up. Because the woman on the sidewalk? That wasn't her mother, even if Remmi hadn't seen her in fifteeen years. But if it isn't Didi, then who is it? And what is the connection?
Bloody Sunday, by Ben Coes. Thriller writer Coes's star is on the rise, and fans of authors like Brad Thor and Vince Flynn should absolutely be checking out his work. (If you like to start at the beginning of a series, his Dewey Andreas series begins with 2010's Power Down.) In this eight series entry, CIA agent Dewey is ready to retire. Until, that is, he gets a new assignment: stop a nuclear arms deal between North Korea and Iran that would spell certain destruction. Only an agent with Dewey's skills could pull this off as the clock ticks down. If you're not reading Coes, you are absolutely missing out.
