August's roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes DEAR JOHN, an incredibly moving novel from internationally bestselling author Nicholas Sparks about a young couple whose commitment to one another is put to the test; THE RIGHTEOUS MEN, a blistering thriller in which Sam Bourne takes readers deep into the hidden worlds of fundamentalist religion, mysticism and biblical prophecies; PEGASUS DESCENDING, the 15th installment in James Lee Burke's acclaimed series starring popular detective Dave Robicheaux; THE NIGHT GARDENER by George Pelecanos, the haunting story of three cops and the murder that reunites them in a showdown decades in the making; and Jacquelyn Mitchard's CAGE OF STARS, in which a young woman sets out to avenge the deaths of her two sisters from years earlier.
Among our nonfiction highlights are THE LOOMING TOWER by Lawrence Wright, which examines in detail the events, personalities and political tensions that converged to make possible the horrors of September 11, 2001; and THE DISCOMFORT ZONE, Jonathan Franzen's intimate memoir of his growth from a "small and fundamentally ridiculous person," through an adolescence both excruciating and strangely happy, into an adult with embarrassing and unexpected passions.
