Years later, Charles runs into Jamie, now a heroin addict, living a nomadic lifestyle. Their bond soon becomes a dangerous pact giving the word revival many meanings.
FleSh aNd Bloodby Patricia Cornwell
Dr. Kay Scarpetta's Miami birthday trip will have to wait. Seven strange pennies are found on a wall near her Cambridge house and five minutes away a high school music teacher has been mysteriously shot to death while unloading groceries. Scarpetta finds herself in pursuit of a sniper and comes face-to-face with shocking evidence leading to her niece, Lucy, her own flesh and blood.
SeveNth grave aNd No Bodyby Darynda Jones
As 12 beasts spring from Hell to wreak havoc on the living, Grim Reaper Charley Davidson deals with her missing father, an ex-BFF haunting her day and night and a string of unanswered suicides. She gets a pet in an attempt to master life as the responsible adult she swore she would become.
leaviNg timeby Jodi Picoult
On the night one of the caretakers at a New Hampshire elephant sanctuary was killed, Jenna's mother, Alice, was found unconscious nearby. Hours later, Alice checked herself out of the hospital and disappeared, leaving her 3-year-old daughter behind. Now, 10 years later, the precocious 13-year-old wants answers to the mysteries of her mother's whereabouts. Desperate to learn the truth, Jenna enlists the aid of Virgil, the jaded detective who handled the initial investigation, and Serenity, a once-famous but now infamous TV psychic.
the JoBby Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg
FBI Agent Kate O'Hare is forced to partner with a charming con-man named Nicholas Fox to bring down the world’s most wanted felons. They travel all over the globe trying to bring down a drug lord but when they find themselves pitted against a psychopathic bodyguard, they enlist the special talents of a Somali pirate, a special effects artist and Kate’s father, a retired Special Forces operative. Can this unlikely team work together and live to talk about it?
the WolF iN WiNterby John Connolly
A homeless man's death and the disappearance of his daughter send private investigator Charlie Parker to Prosperous, Maine. The town’s sheltered inhabitants take care of their own at all costs and have no qualms about shunning outsiders. But Parker is dangerous and the people of Prosperous see him as a threat. Now Parker must die.
Worthy FightS: a memoir oF leaderShip iN War aNd peaceby Leon Panetta with Jim Newton
After a career in Congress, Panetta served as director of the OMB (1993-94) and as President Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff (1994-97). Then, after what only looked like retirement, he returned to government service as CIA Director (2009-11). In the wake of bin Laden’s death, he served as Secretary of Defense (2011-13). Worthy Fights is more than a memoir, but an overview of key historical events and the conduct of the U.S. government in the past decades.
December was a very busy month for the libraries! Santa provided a mailbox so letters could be boxed up and sent to the North Pole for delivery. Did anyone get a letter from Santa? On 10 and 11 December, Santa visited the MCRD Parris Island Library and the MCAS Beaufort Library. Firemen carefully watched Santa’s team at the end of the tarmac and others delivered Santa to the library
on one of their big fire trucks. We hope you were able to join the library staff during Santa’s trip to the libraries. The staff at the MCRD Parris Island and the MCAS Beaufort Library hopes that you had a very happy Holiday and we look forward to serving you during the New Year!
