New titles from some of our favorite best-selling authors? Yes, please!
The Reckoning, by John Grisham. Peter Banning was Clanton, Mississippi's favorite son--a decorated World War II hero, a farmer, father, and neighbor. The patriarch of a prominent family. And then one cool October morning, he walked into the church and shot his best friend and pastor, Reverend Dexter Bell. As shocking as the crime is Peter's refusal to comment--all he will say to anyone, from sheriff to lawyer to judge is "I have nothing to say." A Southern gothic unlike anything Grisham has brought readers previously, this may yet increase Grisham's legion of fans exponentially. Also available in Large Print.
Dark Sacred Night, by Michael Connelly. Harry Bosch just cannot stay retired. Night beat Det. Renee Ballard (The Late Show, 2017) returns to the Hollywood Station to find Bosch rifling through old files, obsessed with a cold case involving the murder of a 15-year-old runaway. After a rocky first encounter, the two team up--both are outsiders with complicated pasts and something to prove. Should make for some interesting reading! Also available in Large Print.
The Witch Elm, by Tana French. In this stand-alone novel from extraordinary thriller writer French, Toby, happy-go-lucky and charming, is out for a night of celebrating with friends, then comes home to a burglary in progress. The burglars beat him and leave him for dead, and during Toby's long, painful recovery, he must come to terms with the possibility that he may never be the man he was. Retreating to his ancestral home for his own recovery and to spend time with an ailing uncle seems like a good idea...until a skull is found in a tree on the estate grounds. French may be the best writer you're not reading, yet. Also available in Large Print.
Holy Ghost, by John Sandford. In the small town of Pinion, MN, the mayor and his sidekick manufacture an appearance of the Virgin Mary, expecting it to become a draw for pilgrims and a new stream of revenue for the floundering little town. Instead, a sniper turns his sites on the resulting adoring masses, and that brings Virgil Flowers in to investigate. Fans won't want to miss it. Also available in Large Print.
Ambush, by James Patterson and James O. Born. Latest in Patterson's Michael Bennett series (following 2017's Haunted) finds two cartels battling it out for New York City's opiod trade. Too bad for them: Detective Michael Bennett is on the case, and they'll only win over his dead body. Too bad for Bennett--the cartels accept his terms. Also available in Large Print.
