The Excoms
by Brett Battles
MP3 CD. Ananke thought her week couldn?t get worse, but as she hunts for the man who screwed up her previous job, things really go sideways. Turns out, she?s not the only one having problems. Rosario can acquire anything for anyone, but can she obtain freedom for herself when her latest assignment goes awry? Dylan?s sure his new gig will be a walk in the park--or rather, a drive, given that he's a courier. Unfortunately, the road is a bit bumpier than he expected. Liesel is having the worst week of her life, and blames only herself. And Ricky? Well, Ricky doesn?t believe in bad weeks. Though he can?t claim being stuck in prison is all that great. Convenient for all of them, then, that a mysterious organization comes along asking for their help, and in return promises to reverse their excommunication from the secret world. Of course, nothing good ever comes without strings attached.

| White Fire by Douglas Preston and Lincoln ChildCD & Online. Thriller. When Special Agent Pendergast's protégé, aspiring criminologist Corrie Swanson, examines the recently exhumed victims of a series of fatal grizzly bear attacks that occurred in 1876 Roaring Fork, Colorado, she makes a shocking discovery -- the attacks were made by humans. But the mauled prospectors aren't the only suspicious deaths in Roaring Fork, now a posh ski resort: a modern-day serial killer is at work, slaughtering the area's wealthiest residents and burning down their homes. White Fire is the 13th book in a series, now numbering 16, starring the FBI's Pendergast, whose expertise with respect to serial killers has stood him in good stead since his first outing in The Relic. |

| The Black Hour by Lori Rader-DayOnline. Psychological Suspense. This debut, which won the Anthony Award for Best First Novel, is a good bet for fans of menacing stories set in academia. Chicago professor Amelia Emmet teaches on the subject of violence, which now has a personal connection -- ten months ago, she was shot by a student she'd never met. Desperate to know why she was targeted, she digs into her own case, as do the graduate student who hopes to write about her and a reporter who's a little too close for comfort. Alternating perspectives provide an "irresistible combination of menace, betrayal, and self-discovery" (Publishers Weekly). |

| The Black Widow by Daniel SilvaSpy Fiction. In this 16th entry in the Gabriel Allon series, the art restorer and spy is working his biggest case ever: infiltrating a deadly Islamic terrorist group in order to kill its leader and prevent the biggest attack the world has yet seen. There are two black widows -- one is an escaped terrorist, but the second is the real draw. She's a civilian, a Jerusalem doctor whom Gabriel and his team have trained as a spy to help locate their target. Plenty of tension, an in-depth look at politics and war in the Middle East, and well-wrought characters are among the appeals of this sobering novel. |
