November/December 2007

November and December’s roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes NEXT, Michael Crichton’s frightening and compelling tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems and a set of new possibilities can open at every turn; MISSION SONG, another high-stakes thrill ride from John le Carre full of espionage, global meddling and inter-character intrigue; BAD BLOOD, Linda Fairstein’s ninth legal thriller starring Manhattan prosecutor Alexandra Cooper; WHEN DARKNESS FALLS, the sixth installment in James Grippando’s series featuring Miami criminal defense attorney Jack Swyteck; and MAGIC HOUR by Kristin Hannah, in which a child psychologist is determined to save a little girl locked in a world of unimaginable fear and isolation.

Among our nonfiction highlights are THE INNOCENT MAN, John Grisham's exploration of small town justice gone terribly awry; TOO LATE TO SAY GOODBYE by Ann Rule, the true story of a 14-year saga of treachery and murder by a man who would never allow any woman to leave him; Karen DeYoung’s SOLDIER, the first full biography of Colin Powell, from his Bronx childhood to his military career to his controversial tenure as secretary of state; and two books that focus on autism and the people whose lives have been affected by it --- MOZART AND THE WHALE by Jerry and Mary Newport, and STRANGE SON by Portia Iversen.
