MR MERCEDES

By STEPHEN KING

In a mega-stakes, high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely and

winning heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing

up thousands.

In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate

unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver

plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up,

and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes.

EMPEROR OF THORNS: BROKEN EMPIREBy ERIC VAN LUSTBADER

In this thrilling and absorbing new novel Jason Bourne is faced with an impossible mission.

He has been hired to impersonate a high-level government minister at a political summit

meeting in Qatar, shielding the minister from any assassination attempts. Suddenly, armed

gunmen storm the room, killing everyone but Bourne. Their target, however, isn't the

minister Bourne impersonates....it is Bourne himself.

Kidnapped and transported to an underground bunker, Bourne finds himself face-to-face

with an infamous terrorist named El Ghadan ("Tomorrow"). El Ghadan holds as his captive

Soraya Moore, former co-director of Treadstone, and a close friend to Bourne, along with

her two year old daughter.

Meanwhile, the President of the United States is in the midst of brokering a historic peace

treaty between the Israelis and the Palestinians-an event that El Ghadan is desperate to

prevent. He demands that Bourne carry out a special mission: kill the President. If Bourne

refuses, Soraya and her daughter will die.

Bourne must make a monstrous choice: save Soraya and her daughter, or save the

President.

Amanda's old schoolfriends can't believe it when the social-climbing queen of preen,

Satan's very own PR girl, pulls off the ultimate publicity stunt in getting herself engaged to

a Scottish laird.

Who cares that Fraser McConnald has worn the same pair of Converse trainers for the

last three years and that his castle is a pile of rubble with one calor gas heater - she'll be

titled! Something Must Be Done.

Gentle, decent Fraser is clearly ignorant of her wiles, and Mel and Fran, still smarting

from the memory of all the mean things Amanda put them through in their days at

Portmount Comprehensive, set out to sabotage this mismatch of the century. So between

fighting off the attentions of a love-crazed accountant, keeping Fran's deadly manoeuvres

with the opposite sex under control and trying to win her own war of love with the elusive

but gorgeous Alex, Mel finds herself attending a wild Scottish stag night, a hen night from

hell, and preparing for a wedding that's everything you'd wish on your worst enemy.

are "laugh-out-loud funny" ("St. Louis Post-Dispatch"), "brilliantly evocative" ("The Denver Post"), and

"making trouble and winning hearts" ("USA Today").

Stephanie Plum has her sights set on catching a notorious mob boss. If she doesn't take him down, he

may take her out. New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum knows better than to mess with family. But

when powerful mobster Salvatore "Uncle Sunny" Sunucchi goes on the lam in Trenton, it's up to

Stephanie to find him. Uncle Sunny is charged with murder for running over a guy (twice), and nobody

wants to turn him in--not his poker buddies, not his bimbo girlfriend, not his two right-hand men, Shorty

and Moe. Even Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, has skin in the game, because--just Stephanie's luck-

-the godfather is his "actual" godfather.

And while Morelli understands that the law is the law, his old-world grandmother, Bella, is doing

everything she can to throw Stephanie off the trail. It's not just Uncle Sunny giving Stephanie the run-

around. Security specialist Ranger needs her help to solve the bizarre death of a top client's mother, a

woman who happened to play bingo with Stephanie's Grandma Mazur. Before Stephanie knows it,

she's working side by side with Ranger and Grandma at the senior center, trying to catch a killer on the

loose--and the bingo balls are not rolling in their favor. With bullet holes in her car, henchmen on her

tail, and a giraffe named Kevin running wild in the streets of Trenton, Stephanie will have to up her

game for the ultimate takedown.

EVERYTHING TO LOSE

By JANET EVANOVICHCatch a professional assassin: top priority. Find a failure-to-appear and collect big bucks: top score. How she’ll pull it all off: top secret.

Trenton, New Jersey’s favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more

than used cars out of his dealerships. Now he’s out on bail and has missed his date in court, and

bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead

ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city’s hottest cop, is

struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s whereabouts. These are desperate times, and

they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really

doesn’t want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy

Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Poletti’s bookkeeper and knows all his boss’s dirty

secrets. Now Briggs is next on Poletti’s list of people to put six feet under.

To top things off, Ranger—resident security expert and Stephanie’s greatest temptation—has

been the target of an assassination plot. He’s dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to

survive the next attempt on his life, he’ll have to enlist Stephanie’s help and reveal a bit more of

his mysterious past.

Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained assassins, and Stark Street being

overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a day’s work for Stephanie Plum. The real

challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazur’s wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge

on Joe Morelli’s Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what’s number one on the list—but

that’s top secret.

AND SONS

By DAVID GILBERT

Who is A. N. Dyer? For fans of 'The Art of Fielding' and 'Wonder Boys' - this is the

panoramic, deeply affecting story of an iconic novelist and the heartbreaking truths

that fiction can hide.

The Manhattan funeral of Charles Henry Topping would have been a minor affair but

for the identity of the eulogist: reclusive author A. N. Dyer, whose novel 'Ampersand'

stands as a classic of teenage angst. Now Andrew Newbold Dyer takes stock of his

own life, the people he's hurt and the novel that will endure as his legacy. He realises

he must reunite with his three sons before it's too late.

Eldest son Richard is a screenwriter in Californian exile. In the middle is Jamie, who

has spent his life capturing the sorrow that surrounds him. And last is Andy, now a

pupil at the boarding school that inspired 'Ampersand'. It is only when the hidden

purpose of the reunion comes to light do the sons realise what's at stake - for their

father, themselves and three generations of Dyers.

Daring, entertaining and insightful, '& Sons' establishes David Gilbert as a writer to

be treasured.

BAD MONKEY

By CARL HIAASEN

Andrew Yancy-late of the Miami Police and soon-to-be-late of the Monroe County sheriff's

office-has a human arm in his freezer.

There's a logical (Hiaasenian) explanation for that, but not for how and why it parted from

its shadowy owner. Yancy thinks the boating-accident/shark-luncheon explanation is full of

holes, and if he can prove murder, the sheriff might rescue him from his grisly Health

Inspector gig (it's not called the roach patrol for nothing).

But first-this being Hiaasen country-Yancy must negotiate an obstacle course of wildly

unpredictable events with a crew of even more wildly unpredictable characters, including

his just-ex lover, a hot-blooded fugitive from Kansas; the twitchy widow of the frozen arm;

two avariciously optimistic real-estate speculators; the Bahamian voodoo witch known as

the Dragon Queen, whose suitors are blinded unto death by her peculiar charms; Yancy's

new true love, a kinky coroner; and the eponymous bad monkey, who with hilarious

aplomb earns his place among Carl Hiaasen's greatest characters.

Book Review

Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his

mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend.

Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't

the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that

ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Empire is not the enemy. It is a pair of ruthless geniuses with a lethal ally and a lifelong

vendetta against Han Solo. And when the murderous duo gets the drop on Han, he finds

himself outgunned in the fight of his life.

To save him, and the galaxy, Luke and Leia must brave a gauntlet of treachery, terrorism, and

the untold power of an enigmatic artifact capable of bending space, time, and even the Force

itself into an apocalyptic nightmare.
