Madison draws the attention of some powerful people. And when she reveals the link

between the victims, Madison will find out that the Chinese military makes for a terrifying

BURNING ROOM

The new thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly follows

Detective Harry Bosch and his new partner as they investigate a recent murder where the

trigger was pulled nine years earlier.

In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the

crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet nine

years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but all other evidence is

virtually nonexistent.

Now Bosch and rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a

highly charged, politically sensitive case. Beginning with the bullet that's been lodged for

years in the victim's spine, they must pull new leads from years-old information, which

soon reveal that this shooting may have been anything but random.

Barbara Taylor Bradford at her superb best.

A sweeping, multi-generational saga set on the eve of WW1, in the vein of A Woman of

Substance

Two entwined families: the aristocratic Inghams and the Swanns who serve them

One stately home: Cavendon Hall, a grand imposing house nestled in the beautiful

Yorkshire Dales

A society beauty: Lady Daphne Ingham is the most beautiful of the Earl's daugthers.

Being presented at Court and then a glittering marriage is her destiny. But in the summer

of 1913, a devastating event changes her future forever, and puts the House of Ingham at

risk. Life as the families of Cavendon Hall know it - Royal Ascot, supper dances, grouse

season feasts - is about to alter beyond recognition as the storm clouds of war gather.


By PATRICIA CORNWELL It’s Dr. Kay Scarpetta’s birthday, and she’s about to head to Miami for a

vacation with Benton Wesley, her FBI profiler husband, when she notices

seven pennies on a wall behind their Cambridge house. Is this a kids’ game?

If so, why are all of the coins dated 1981 and so shiny they could be newly

minted? Her cellphone rings, and Detective Pete Marino tells her there’s been

a homicide five minutes away. A high school music teacher has been shot with

uncanny precision as he unloaded groceries from his car. No one has heard or

seen a thing.

In this 22nd Scarpetta novel, the master forensic sleuth finds herself in the

unsettling pursuit of a serial sniper who leaves no incriminating evidence

except fragments of copper. The shots seem impossible, yet they are so

perfect they cause instant death. The victims appear to have had nothing in

common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next.

First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the

coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for

answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she

comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techno genius

niece, Lucy, Scarpetta’s own flesh and blood.

In the second book in the New York Times bestselling mystery series, Veronica Mars is

back with a case that will expose the hidden workings of one of Neptune’s most murderous

locations.

The Neptune Grand has always been the seaside town’s ritziest hotel, despite the shady

dealings and high-profile scandals that seem to follow its elite guests. When a woman

claims that she was brutally assaulted in one of its rooms and left for dead by a staff

member, the owners know that they have a potential powder keg on their hands. They turn

to Veronica to disprove—or prove—the woman's story.

The case is a complicated mix of hard facts, mysterious occurrences, and uncooperative

witnesses. The hotel refuses to turn over its reservation list and the victim won’t divulge

who she was meeting that night. Add in the facts that the attack happened months ago, the

victim’s memory is fuzzy, and there are holes in the hotel’s surveillance system, and

Veronica has a convoluted mess on her hands. As she works to fill in the missing pieces, it

becomes clear that someone is lying—but who? And why?
