| Red Swan: A Novel by P.T. DeutermannSpy Fiction. In this thrilling, complex spy novel, a CIA psychiatrist whose skill lies in discrediting political targets is forced into retirement after a successful career. (His latest victory interfered with...other American interests). When, a year later, his agency's director is found dead and he's asked to investigate, he finds that the very same tactics may have been employed on the CIA -- but both the target and the players are as yet unknown. |
|
| Lie to Me: A Novel by J.T. EllisonPsychological Suspense. Handsome Ethan Montclair and his beautiful wife Sutton are both successful authors, but there may be more than petty jealousy at play when Sutton disappears and suspicion falls on Ethan. Though she did leave a note ("Don't look for me"), that doesn't stop vicious gossip -- and worse -- from circulating. With shades of Gone Girl (alternating perspective, a marriage in shambles, manipulative characters easy to dislike) Lie to Me is a twisty, addictive read. |

| The Gods of Guilt: A Lincoln Lawyer Novel by Michael ConnellyLegal Thriller. Pragmatic mobile lawyer Mickey Haller (his office is his Lincoln Town Car) is defending a pimp accused of killing one of his "girls," who Mickey happened to know. Mickey, who's more interested in finding a favorable verdict than the truth, finds this case a bit fishy; the ensuing investigation and courtroom scenes are full of drama. A gripping and somewhat melancholy novel, The Gods of Guilt is the 6th and most recent Mickey Haller novel, though the character also appears in three Harry Bosch novels: The Crossing, The Wrong Side of Goodbye, and Two Kinds of Truth (publishing this month). |
|
| The Verdict by Nick StoneLegal Thriller. Legal clerk and recovering alcoholic Terry Flynt is pleased to be selected to help on a high-profile murder case involving multimillionaire hedge fund manager Vernon James. Not only is it a chance to help his floundering career, but Terry blames Vernon (once his best friend) for getting him thrown out of Cambridge and the dispiriting turns his life has taken since then. With Terry as an able guide to the British legal system, a complex plot awash in moral ambiguities, and richly detailed characters, this novel is sure to appeal to fans of the best courtroom dramas. |
