James Patterson brings us another thrilling adventure with one of the most popular fictional detectives of all time in “Alex Cross Must Die.”
Cross is in the sights of the Dead Hours Killer, a serial murderer on a ruthless mission. An airport killer targeting pilots expands his scope. DC Metro police dispatch tells Detective Cross to drop whatever he is doing and head out to Reagan Airport. A jet has just crashed and exploded on the runway. The chief and the FBI want Cross and John Sampson there as quickly as possible. When Cross and Sampson get to the site they discover the plane did not fail—it was shot down by a stolen Vietnam War–era machine gun. The list of experts who can operate the weapon is short. And time before another lethal strike runs even shorter. Especially for Detective Cross.
From New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz we have “Lightning in a Mirror.” Olivia LeClair’s experiment with speed dating is not going well. First there was the nasty encounter with the date from hell who tried to murder her and now the mysterious Harlan Rancourt (long believed dead) sits down at her table and tells her she’s the only one who can help him locate the Bluestone Project’s legendary Vortex lab. This is not what Olivia had in mind when she signed up for the Four Event Success Guaranteed package offered by the dating agency. She doesn’t have much choice, though, because her psychic investigation firm works for the mysterious Foundation and Victor Arganbright, the director, is adamant that she assist Harlan. There’s just one problem—no one knows Harlan’s real agenda. His father once ran the Foundation like a mob organization, and Harlan was destined to be his heir. There’s a real possibility Harlan has returned to claim his inheritance.
Carrying on his father’s legacy of the character who was his namesake, Dirk Cussler has continued writing his father’s Dirk Pitt Adventures. We just added “Clive Cussler: The Corsican Shadow” in large print. Intrepid adventurer Dirk Pitt must unravel an enduring historical mystery. In May 1940, as the German army blitzes Europe and Parisians flee their city, the chief curator of the Musée de l’Armée is ordered to get a mysterious piece of cargo out of the country. When he arrives at the port of Le Havre and learns that his intended ship has been sunk, he places the object on a decrepit steamer that sails out under German fire. In the present day, National Underwater and Marine Agency Director Dirk Pitt is on a diving expedition in the English Channel when he discovers a cache of uncut diamonds on a shipwreck. When the diamonds are stolen, Pitt and the NUMA agency find themselves up against a murderous cabal that soon reveals far more destructive plans than mere theft. Vital water treatment facilities around the globe are being targeted, placing the world’s population in grave peril.
And finally we have beloved inspirational fiction author, Tracie Peterson’s “Under the Starry Skies,” a Christian historical romance set in 1900s New Mexico.
