Suspense is the name of the game as we head into cooler weather. Which will you choose to cozy up with?
Elevation, by Stephen King. In the small town of Castle Rock, Scott Carey is rapidly losing weight, though his clothes still fit and he doesn't look any different. He's also rapidly losing patience with the lesbian couple next door, their dog who does its business regularly on Scott's front lawn, and their new restaurant venture in town, which is financial trouble due to a town boycott. When Scott can finally get past his own prejudice, he sees the dire predicament the couple is in, and tries to help, even as he attempts to get a handle on his mystery ailment. A story of unity and alliance in difficult times, this is high on my to-read list this fall.
The Forbidden Door, by Dean Koontz. Fourth in Koontz's mile-a-minute Jane Hawk series finds Jane, once a star agent with the FBI, now fugitive on a mission, heading into the endgame against a secret society that wants to eradicate free thought in favor of wide-spread technological mind control. While she has struck hard blows against the shadowy cabal, they are about to hit back, and the outcome becomes even more uncertain. Fans won't want to miss out! PS--this went to press a little earlier than originally slated, so place your hold now, it's here already! Also available in Large Print.
Vendetta, by Iris Johansen. With his dying breath, the head of the CIA task force on terrorism, Carl Venable, gives Jude Brandon a final instruction: keep his daughter, Rachel safe, at all costs. But Rachel has a twisted past of her own, and one that comes rushing back after the clinic she works in is attacked by a terrorist ringleader. The same ringleader is Brandon's ultimate nemesis, throwing Rachel and Brandon together in an all-or-nothing race to bring the man down before he can orchestrate more chaos. Everyone has a vendetta, but not everyone will get their revenge.
The Three Beths, by Jeff Abbott. Abbott (Blame, 2017, etc.) is becoming quite the reader favorite these days, so I'm expecting his latest to be quite popular. When Mariah Dunning's mother, Beth, disappeared over a year ago, Mariah was certain that her mother would never leave her. And despite the lack of evidence, or a body, suspicion for Beth's murder fell on her husband. Mariah is sure she's spotted her mother across a crowded food court, and begins to search for answers with renewed vigor--she must find her mother and clear her father's name. But when she discovers that two other women, both also named Beth, have disappeared from the area, Mariah may have to face a devastating truth. If you're looking for a gripping thriller this fall, this would be a great choice. Also available in Large Print.
Desperate Measures, by Stuart Woods. Stone Barrington hits the city that never sleeps in Woods's latest. Upon returning from a jaunt to Europe, Stone makes the acquaintance of a captivating woman, only to quickly discover that a series of crimes may continue...with her as the next target. Fans cannot get enough.
