October 2008
October’s roundup of New in Paperback fiction titles includes DUMA KEY, Stephen King’s mesmerizing tale of a man whose recent injuries lead him to Florida’s Duma Key, where he begins to paint --- even as dark mysterious forces guide his creative abilities; WORLD WITHOUT END, the highly anticipated sequel to Ken Follett’s THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH, in which the residents of a 14th-century English town find themselves at a crossroad of new ideas; Dean Koontz’s THE DARKEST EVENING OF THE YEAR, a supernatural thriller that tests the loyalty between a woman and the golden retriever she saved in the most dangerous encounter of her life; HOLLYWOOD CROWS, a crime novel from Joseph Wambaugh in which LAPD cops Hollywood Nate and Bix Rumstead become caught up with bombshell Margot Aziz; and THE EVER-RUNNING MAN by Marcia Muller, a Sharon McCone mystery that finds the San Francisco detective attempting to track down a shadowy figure who has been leaving explosive devices at the various offices of her husband’s security firm.
Among our nonfiction highlights are BOOM!, in which Tom Brokaw explores how famous people, ordinary citizens and the national mindset were all affected by the tumultuous decade of the 1960s; SCHULZ AND PEANUTS, the first full-length biography of “Peanuts” creator Charles Schulz, written by acclaimed biographer David Michaelis; GONZO, Jann S. Wenner and Corey Seymour’s startling portrait of journalist and author Hunter S. Thompson; and MY GRANDFATHER’S SON, a candid memoir by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who pays tribute to the one real hero in his life --- his maternal grandfather, whom he calls “Daddy.”
