July's roundup of New in Paperback titles includes a number of additions to series by bestselling authors. In Daniel Silva's THE MESSENGER, Israeli agent and art restorer Gabriel Allon comes out of semi-retirement to catch the terrorist mastermind behind a plot against the Vatican. VANISHING POINT by Marcia Muller marks the return of PI Sharon McCone, who is hired to investigate one of San Luis Obispo County's most puzzling cold cases. Alexandra "Barney" Barnaby and Sam Hooker are on the run --- avoiding charges of grand theft auto, multiple counts of murder and the NASCAR awards banquet --- in MOTOR MOUTH, Janet Evanovich's fast-paced sequel to METRO GIRL. And SNOW BLIND, the fourth Monkeewrench thriller from P. J. Tracy, revolves around the investigation that ensues when the corpses of police officers are discovered entombed in snowmen.
Notable stand-alone efforts include Sandra Brown's RICOCHET, a story of murder and betrayal in high society Savannah, where a homicide detective finds his career --- and life --- on the line; TRIPTYCH by Karin Slaughter, in which a loser ex-con may be the key to breaking a murder case wide open; THE POE SHADOW, a follow-up to Matthew Pearl's bestseller THE DANTE CLUB, about a young lawyer who puts his own career and reputation at risk in a passionate crusade to salvage Edgar Allan Poe's; and THE SENATOR AND THE SOCIALITE by attorney and commentator Lawrence Otis Graham, who has penned the fascinating history of America's first powerful black family.
