August 2006

August's roundup of New in Paperback titles includes Stephen J. Cannell's COLD HIT, in which startling connections between a ten-year-old cold case and a string of brutal killings lead Detective Shane Scully to a sinister government conspiracy; LUNAR PARK, controversial author Bret Easton Ellis's chilling tale of a famous writer who moves to the suburbs in an attempt to reconnect with his wife and son and start his life anew; THE CONSTANT PRINCESS, a work of historical fiction from Philippa Gregory that explores why Katherine of Aragon pretended to be a virgin when she married Henry VIII; CONSENT TO KILL by Vince Flynn, in which CIA superagent Mitch Rapp becomes the target of an explosive international conspiracy; THUD!, the newest installment in Terry Pratchett's long-running series of Discworld fantasy novels; CURSED BY A HAPPY CHILDHOOD by Carl Lennertz, a memoir of his life growing up in the suburbs of New York in the ’60s and ’70s with notes on what he wants his daughter to know about him and the lessons he learned; and DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT MYTHOLOGY, a magical journey into the timeless world of mythology courtesy of bestselling author Kenneth C. Davis.
