October 2006

October's roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes THE HISTORIAN, the much talked-about literary debut for Elizabeth Kostova involving the hunt for the most famous vampire in history; the suspenseful and horror-filled FOREVER ODD, a follow-up to Dean Koontz's 2003 thriller, ODD THOMAS; ORDINARY HEROES by Scott Turow, the engrossing story of a man who is plunged into the mystery of his family's secret history; THE TENTH CIRCLE, in which Jodi Picoult explores the unbreakable bond between parent and child; and CHRIST THE LORD, a powerful novel by Anne Rice that focuses on the early years of Jesus Christ.

Among our nonfiction highlights are 700 SUNDAYS, Billy Crystal's heartfelt and humorous portrayal of his youth and the special time he shared with his father; A CRACK IN THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, a wide-ranging study of the history, science and folklore of earthquakes from Simon Winchester; MY FBI, former FBI Director Louis J. Freeh's account of American law enforcement during the Clinton administration and in the run-up to September 11th; and ARE MEN NECESSARY? in which New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd raises bold questions about the state of the sexual union.
