<description><![CDATA[NYPD detective Jack Kanon is on a tour of Europe's most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren't what draw him--he sees each museum, each cathedral, and each restaurant through a killer's eyes.  Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, and Stockholm have become victims of the same sadistic killers. Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Gabby Larsen.

<description><![CDATA[Dmytryk was a respectable man... once. College educated, happily married, a stable job at a car factory in Detroit. He's the king of the world with nowhere to go but up. But when a crippling recession annihilates the auto industry, Dmytryk and his wife Cora suddenly find themselves without jobs. And after two years of trying to live honestly, they begin to realize that honesty just doesn't pay the bills.   Afraid of losing her home and her marriage, Cora compromises her faith and makes some choices that she isn't proud of. And when a powerful and ruthless crime boss named Eddie Coyle gives them an opportunity to buy back their old lives, Cora urges Dmytryk to man up. All he has to do is join Eddie's crime ring and rob some banks: two minutes, in and out, nobody gets hurt. Torn between desperation and his moral integrity, Dmytryk gives in, but no sooner does he enter a life of crime than Cora abandons him, taking with her his dreams for a better life and disappearing without a trace.   Now, more determined than ever to get his life back on track, Dmytryk is only one bank job away from having enough money to leave Eddie Coyle and find Cora. But when the job goes dangerously wrong, he realizes yet again that destiny has another plan for him. Forced into seclusion with one of his partners -- a dangerous and damaged woman with a plan of her own - Dmytryk wonders if he'll ever find his way back to his old life. And in the end, will he even want to]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["Will and his brother Ned are on the long march from the Fens to North Wales, commandeered into the army of ditch-diggers heading west towards Flint, to prepare the foundations of Edward I's new castle." "The lads are nervous, and rightly so, for not only is Ned a mute, whose abilities as a horse-whisperer and herbalist make him suspicious in the eyes of their English overseers, but they have been close to the enemy. Ned had been secretly taking lessons in music from Ieuan ap y Gof, an exiled bard, not long before the 'recruiters' came. The boys find themselves besieged on all sides - unsure of their own allegiances and in danger of being thought traitors." "Finding Ieuan and saving Ned tests Will to his limits. Finally, when all appears lost, he learns that love is sometimes harder to understand than death itself."--BOOK JACKE]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ben Greenman is a writer of virtuosic range and uncanny emotional insight. As Darin Strauss has noted, "Like Bruno Schulz, George Saunders, Donald Barthelme, and no one else I can think of, Greenman has the power to be whimsical without resorting to whimsy." The stories in this new collection, What He's Poised to Do, showcase his wide range, yet are united by a shared sense of yearning, a concern with connections missed and lost, and a poignant attention to how we try to preserve and maintain those connections through the written word.  From a portrait of an unfaithful man contemplating his own free will to the saga of a young Cuban man's quixotic devotion to a woman he may never have met; and from a nineteenth-century weapons inventor's letter to his young daughter to an aging man's wistful memory of a summer love affair in a law officeeach of these stories demonstrates Greenman's maturity as a chronicler of romantic angst both contemporary and timeless, and as an explorer of the ways our yearning for connection informs our selves and our souls]]></description>

Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene, John le Carre and Charles McCarry."--- The Wall Street Journal" ""Rimington is not your everyday author of thrillers. She used to be the head of M15 herself, its first female director, and as well as on-the-job experience has a rare gift for understated detail." ---Chicago Tribune" ""The psychological curiosity and attention to detail that has made Rimington a top spy also distinguishes her as an author: Readers are propelled by suspense, but each scene is so interesting that there's no temptation to skip pages." ---People" ""Several former spies have tried their hand at espionage fiction with great success, but Dame Rimington trumps all." ---Baltimore Sun" "Here is the fourth installment in Stella Rimington's series of thrilling novels that have at their center M15 officer Liz Carlyle. As plans get under way for a Middle East peace conference at the Gleneagles resort in Scotland, alarming information comes to MI5 from a high-ranking Syrian source: two individuals are mounting an operation to violently disrupt the conference and lay the blame on Syria. No one knows who they are, exactly what they're planning or if they're working independently or being controlled by an unseen foreign hand. But given the stature of the conference attendees---heads of state from the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iran---no chances can be taken." "Initially, the leads look promising, but as the conference deadline draws closer and the clues lead Liz to one seeming dead end after another, she begins to understand that the threat is far greater than she or anyone else has imagined. Her most reliable tool has always been her searingly keen intuition---about what makes people tick, what makes them explode, what makes them defy the most basic constructs of society---but will it be enough to avert a disaster that may forever erase the possibility of peace in the Middle East?" "Once again, Stella Rimington brings her experience as the first woman Director General of MI5 to bear in a powerfully suspenseful, intellectually and psychologically riveting tale about how the war on terrorism can suddenly---and continually---reshape our world."--BOOK JACKE]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In this striking novel-in-stories, a series of strange apocalypses have hit America. Entire neighborhoods drown in mud, glass rains from the sky, birds speak gibberish, and parents of young children disappear. Millions starve while others grow coats of mold. But a few are able to survive and find a light in the aftermath, illuminating what we've become. In "The Disappeared," a father is arrested for missing free throws, leaving his son to search alone for his lost mother. A boy swells to fill his parents' ransacked attic in "The Ruined Child." Rendered in a variety of narrative forms, from a psychedelic fable to a skewed insurance claim questionnaire, Blake Butler's full-length fiction debut paints a gorgeously grotesque version of America, bringing to mind both Kelly Link and William H. Gass, yet imbued with Butler's own vision of the apocalyptic and bizarr]]></description>

When some of the carnies came up to me, I said, "I'm numb." This became my name.   A man with no memory who feels no pain, Numb travels to New York City after a short stint with the circus, following the one and only clue he holds to his hidden history: a brittle, bloodstained business card. But once there, word of his condition rapidly spreadssparked by the attention he attracts by letting people nail his hands to wooden bars for moneyand he quickly finds himself hounded on all sides by those who would use his unique ability in their own pursuits of fame and fortune. It is a strange world indeed that Numb numbly stumbles through, surrounded by crowds of suck-ups and opportunists, as he confronts life's most basic and difficult question: Who am I?   Sean Ferrell's Numb is a wildly entertaining examination of identity, friendship, pain, and the cult of celebrity that heralds the arrival of a fresh and uniquely inventive literary voice.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[From one of the most accomplished writers to emerge from Latin America, No Place for Heroes is a darkly comic novel about a mother and son who return to Buenos Aires in search of her former lover, whom she met during Argentinas Dirty War.   During Argentinas g2sDirty Warg3s of the late 70s and early 80s, Lorenza and Ramon, two passionate militants opposing Videlas dictatorship, met and fell in love. Now, Lorenza and her son, Mateo, have come to Buenos Aires to find Ramon, Mateos father. Holed up in the same hotel room, mother and son share a common goal, yet are worlds apart on how they perceive it. For Lorenza, who came of age in the political ferment of the 60s, it is intertwined with her past ideological and emotional anchors (or were they illusions?), while her postmodernist son, a child of the 90s who couldnt care less about politics or ideology, is looking for his actual  fathernot the idea of a father, but the Ramon of flesh and blood.   Anything goes as this volatile pair battle it out: hilarious misunderstandings, unsettling cruelty, and even a temptation to murder. In the end, they begin to come to a more truthful understanding of each other and their human condition.   No Place for Heroes is an addition to that long tradition of the eternal odd couplein works ranging from Waiting for Godot to Kiss of the Spider Womanwaiting for their fortunes to change, written by one of the most talented and internationally celebrated authors at work toda]]></description>

"It's a typical Friday morning in late summer, and Gwen is anticipating a long-awaited weekend away at the lake with her overworked husband, Brian, and their two young children. After dropping off her daughter at swim class, Gwen drives across town to purchase a small bag of marijuana from Jude, an old boyfriend. On the way home, she gets into a car accident that leaves her bruised but the other driver dead. The local police can see the accident isn't her fault, but when they find the pot in Gwen's car, they throw the book at her. There have been problems with drugs in the schools, and the police are determined to crack down." "Meanwhile, Brian, a pharmaceutical company executive, is embroiled in an ethical dilemma over the marketing of a drug for "off-label" use. And Jude has gotten in way over his head with his little side business."

When he loses everything in Aden his only chance of survival lies in finding his father who disappeared years before."

So begins an epic journey by foot, camel, lorry and train, which will take Jama through war-torn Eritrea and Sudan, to Egypt, Palestine and, finally, to the icy realms of Britain that he heard about in Aden."

Beautiful language, an evocative sense of place, and an acute understanding of the human condition have combined to produce a deeply moving, compelling novel. The Good Psychologist is an astonishing debut."ûJonathan Kellerman" ""This extraordinarily compelling novel combines the intensity of a thriller with the lucidity and depth of a master class. Shpancer, like all the best writers (and clinicians), doesn't just reveal the complexities of our nature but honors and preserves the mystery at their core. Page by page, The Good Psychologist is brilliantly suspenseful; long after time is up, you'll continue to hear his voice in your head, elegant, knowing, and surpassingly humane."ûRobert Cohen, author of Amateur Barbarians and Inspired Sleep" ""The Good Psychologist is that rare surpriseûa new book by an author I've never heard of that is exactly what I've been waiting to read. Noam Shpancer gets it all right in this breathtaking novel. The narrative is compelling. The voice not only is fresh, it's also haunting, disarming, and wry. The always-treacherous literary journey into the heart of psychotherapyûand into the damaged soul of a therapistûis portrayed with the humility and wisdom of a practiced clinician, and shaped with evocative power and tantalizing patience by a writer who should not yet be this skilled. Don't miss it."ûStephen White, author of The Siege and Dry Ice" "Sometimes The Deepest Secrets Are Where You Least Expect To Find Them." "Noam Shpancer's stunning debut novel opens as a psychologist reluctantly takes on a new clientûan exotic dancer whose severe anxiety is keeping her from the stage. The psychologist, a solitary professional who also teaches a lively night class, helps the client confront her fears. But as treatment unfolds, her struggles and secrets begin to radiate onto his life, upsetting the precarious balance in his unresolved relationship with Nina, a married former colleague with whom he has a childûa child he has never met. As the shell of his detachment begins to crack, he suddenly finds himself too deeply involved, the boundary lines between professional and personal, between help and harm, blurring dangerously." "With its wonderfully distinctive narrative voice, rich with humor and humanity, The Good Psychologist leads the reader on a journey into the heart of the therapy process and beyond, examining some of the fundamental questions of the soul: to move or be still; to defy or obey; to let go or hold on."--BOOK JACKE]]></description>

Not helping are the remnants of the U.K. government, holed up in Oxford and plotting nuclear strikes on mythic figures.

[Mandelman] deftly blends a murder mystery with a nuanced examination of the intransigent Israeli-Arab conflict."---Publishers Weekly, starred review" ""An absorbing and captivating novel that bridges the uncomfortable political gap between the Palestinian and Israeli sides."---Kirkus Reviews" ""Mandelman's stories veer from heartbreaking to hilarious, and all of them depict Israel's desperate fragility and the horrific lengths to which its citizens must go to survive."---New York Times Book Review" ""Taut, nuanced... a rich multigenerational chronicle of Israel since its birth"---Kirkus Reviews, starred review" ""Mandelman... complicates the underside of Israeli culture, teasing out the roots of violence and prejudice in this alternately dark and humorous collection."---Publishers Weekly" ""It takes either naivete, chutzpah, blinding self-confidence, testicular fortitude, or perhaps a combination thereof to write fiction such as the title story of this collection... a gutsy and thoughtful writer."---The Jerusalem Report" "In 1977, having renounced his Israeli citizenship and withdrawn from his family, David Starkman is living a new life in Canada, haunted by persistent nightmares following his military service as a clandestine assassin. When news reaches him of his father's gruesome murder, he reluctantly returns to his homeland for what he hopes will be the final time." "Back in Tel Aviv, David discovers that his war-hero father was also the author of a controversial play called "The Debba," which was performed only once, in 1946, causing a massive riot. In the lore of the Middle East, the Debba is a mythical Arab hyena that can turn into a man who lures Jewish children away from their families. To the Arabs he is a heroic national symbol; to the Jews he is a terrorist. David learns that his father's will demands that the contentious play be staged within forty-five days of his death. Reluctantly David agrees. Pursued by the security services---and perhaps by the Debba itself---he is forced to reimmerse himself in a life he thought he'd escaped for good. But the heart-stopping climax shows that nothing in Israel is as it appears, and not only are the sins of the fathers revisited upon the sons, but so are their virtues---and the latter are more terrible still." "Under the guise of a breathtaking thriller, Avner Mandelman has written a novel that reveals Israel's double soul, its inherent paradoxes, and its taste for both art and violence. The riddle of the Debba---the myth, the play, and the novel---is nothing less than the tangled riddle of Israel itself."--BOOK JACKE]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This powerful, emotionally wrenching story opens in Jerusalem one steamy September when three Americans, unknown to each other, seek personal salvation in a foreign land. Yona Stern longs to make amends with her estranged sister who lives in a radical Jewish settlement. Mark Greenglass, a Talmud teacher, has inexplicably lost his once fierce devotion to Orthodox Judaism and now wonders if he's done with God. Enter Aaron Blinder, an unstable college dropout whose famous father endlessly--some say obsessively--mines the Holocaust for his best-selling, melodramatic novels. In a sweeping, beautifully written story of the lengths to which we will go in search of spiritual fulfillment, Joan Leegant weaves together the stories of three lives in the grip of a volatile, demanding faith, and ultimately bound together by a tragic act of violence. Haunting and wise, Wherever You Go is a gripping and prescient debut nove]]></description>

Isaac, a former Buffalo Soldier, is fiercely proud: black families are rare in the West, and black ranchers even rarer. But it hasn't rained in months, the cattle are bellowing with thirst, and supplies have dwindled. Struggling to feed her family, Rachel is isolated by more than just geography. She is determined to give her surviving children the life they deserve, but Isaac will never leave his ranch: land means a measure of equality with the white man.

<description><![CDATA[Ever since a Woman of the Iron People won the first Tiptree Award in 1991, Eleanor Arnason has been celebrated as the heir to SF's revolutionary feminist legacy. Her Mammoths of the Great Plains presents a radical new vision of the Old West.  In Arnason's astonishing re-imagined America, great shaggy mammoth herds thunder over the grasslands, living symbols of the conflict between the Native peoples and the European invaders. And in an unforgettable adventure that soars from the badlands of the Dakotas to the icy wastes of Siberia, from the Russian Revolution to the Wounded Knee protests of the sixties, a courageous scientist fights to redeem her Lakota heritage and save the mammoths from extinction. And wins. Plus  Writing SF During World War III, a celebrated "letter from the front lines" that examines the hard choices and dangerous opportunities facing artists and activists today.  And Featuring: an unusually revealing Outspoken Interview taking you into the private heart and public soul of one of today's most consistent, yet least predictable, writers.  PM's Outspoken Authors series invites today's edgiest, most entertaining, and uncompromising writers to present their most provocative work in a stunning new format designed to fit your pocket and stretch your mind.   ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[1212. The forces of Christendom are on the march again. There is much to avenge. Twenty-five years ago, the Christian army lay slaughtered on the desolate plain of the Horns of Hattin. Mighty Saladin, ruler of the Moslem world, went on to capture Jerusalem, crush the Crusaders and push back the remnants of the Latin empire to a thin line of threatened coastal forts. The Holy Land seemed lost. But now the Pope has called for crusade. Many take the cross for pilgrimage and battle. Among them is Otto, a young noble heading for the Holy Land in search of his vanished Hospitaller Knight father, and Brother Luke, a mysterious Franciscan on a mission of his own. And then there are the children, tens of thousands of them, pledged to recapture Jerusalem and find the True Cross, the holiest of relics lost to the forces of Islam. But what begins as a religious quest will turn into a harrowing nightmare of hardship and danger. For dangers press in and the way ahead is perilous. Some will not survive. What they seek is Truth. What they find is Hell]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For more than three decades, New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks has ruled the epic fantasy realm with his legendary Shannara series. With each new novel the mythos has deepened, ever more fascinating characters have arisen, and increasingly breathtaking vistas of magical adventure have emerged. Now the evolution of one of imaginative fictions most beloved worlds continues in the first book of the new series Legends of Shannara: Bearers of the Black Staff.   Five hundred years have passed since the devastating demon-led war that tore apart the United States, leaving nothing but scorched and poisoned ruins, and nearly exterminating humankind. Those who escaped the carnage and blight were led to sanctuary by the boy savior known as the Hawkthe gypsy morph. In an idyllic valley, its borders warded by powerful magic against the horrors beyond, humans, elves, and mutants alike found a place they believed would be their home forever.   But after five centuries, the unimaginable has come to pass: The cocoon of protective magic surrounding the valley has vanished. When Sider Ament, the only surviving descendant of the Knights of the Word, detects unknown predators stalking the valley, he fears the worst. And when Panterra Qu and Prue Liss, expert Trackers from the human village of Glensk Wood, find two of their own gruesomely killed, there can be no doubt: The once safe haven of generations has been laid bare and made vulnerable to whatever still lurks in the wasteland of the outside world.      Together, Ament, the two young Trackers, and a daring Elf princess race to spread word of the encroaching dangerand spearhead plans to defend their ancestral home. But suspicion and hostility among their countrymen threaten to doom their efforts from withinwhile beyond the breached borders, a ruthless Troll army masses for invasion. And in the thick of it all, the last wielder of the black staff and its awesome magic must find a successor to carry on the fight against the cresting new wave of evil.   ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Is a dark tongue-in-cheek look at the very center of our world, where a society of short quarrelsome creatures live and operate the machinery that rotates the earth. It's the story of three unsuspecting humans--sixth grade teacher Warren Worst, his student Leo and Warren's beautiful neighbor Lilly--who are living quietly in San  Francisco until the earthquake of October 1989 turns their lives upside down. Literally. Join them as they journey through the Region of Neither Norr, fall hundreds of miles through a giant tunnel-hole, cross the Plains of Low Weather and the Valley of Lopsided Water, fly down the ancient slide of the Droiden Frobble Dynasty and scale the Great Big Canyon. It is a trip that is not just physical but spiritual. The humans will learn much about Nuldoid and its strange politics, religion and the peculiar way these creatures experience death. It is a journey from which one of them will not return, and all of them will be forever changed. What they discover about themselves, about their own world and about the creatures of Nuldoid will flabbergast them, and yo]]></description>

So he travels to the archipelago at the outermost reaches of the land to find out what really happened. He lands on an island and is met by a young woman, hair streaked with blood, raving like a lunatic. She is one of the sisters, who tell him the story of how his son died in the great hall of the Clan, the Norse gods, who were holding a party. But the festivities soon got out of hand, the guests began to argue with one another, and the mischievous shapeshifter Loki dealt a deadly blow. Set in a dystopian future that recalls Orwell and Zamyatin, Klas Ostergren has weaved a dizzying story of magnificent scope and foul play. Moving from the golden halls to the depths of the underworld, it is about one man's search for justice for his son in a world on the brin]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["What would happen if the United States government suddenly went bankrupt? An ancient beheading and a 200-year-old prediction foretell the inevitable consequences of blind ambition and the abuse of power in a thought-provoking, passionate challenge to conventional political wisdom. Maverick Senator Henley Hornbrook fights against unscrupulous President Winston Dillard while a nationwide tax revolt plunges the country into chaos before Hornbrook unveils a stunning plan that will forever change the nation and preserve its destiny. Is it fiction, or prediction? In a classic confrontation between government oppression and rugged individualism, The Hornbrook Prophecy will spark debate from the classroom to the bar room about a new, principled hero who fights for more than the girl and the gold."--P.

These include Mary's niece, the endearing five-year-old Sophie, whom her mother, Letty, accuses of being a witch and locks up periodically without food or water. Letty also abuses pretty fifteen-year-old black 'Chuba, Letty's slave, whom Letty shoots for secretly feeding Sophie. Roaming the streets is Dorcas, the teen-aged distracted daughter of a hanged witch. And taking refuge in the Pest House are the plague-scarred artistic ten-year-old Abigail, and the inventive twelve-year-old Thaddeus, both cared for by Elihu, a hideously cratered hulk of a man who falls hopelessly in love with Mary. Her moral compass and spiritual knowledge guide her to rescue many victims of societal and individual injustice."--P. [4] of cove]]></description>

Should you keep your day job? Stay in your relationship? Save an endangered species? Have a debauched weekend on Sex Island? Buy an aristocrat's life on eBay or pay off all your family's debt? Should you climb Mount Everest, trek the remote jungles of China, book passage on a luxury cruise, or become an infamous Voodoo priestess? Is your destiny to become a philanthropist, a pharmaceutical tycoon, a happy homemaker, or a burlesque stripper? Be careful. Your fortune could be lost in a Ponzi scheme; your wildest fantasy may bring you total bliss or lead you to a run-in with extortionists who try to kill you.   There are hundreds of possible adventures sown inside Million Little Mistakes. Some lives end fabulously while others in utter disaster, so choose wisely. You can buy a lot with $22 million, but can you buy a happy ending?     ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["Recovering con artist Ciara Griffin seems to finally have it all. A steady job at WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock 'n' Roll. A loving relationship with the idiosyncratic but eternally hot DJ Shane McAllister. A vampire dog who never needs shots or a pooper-scooper. And after nine years, it looks as if she might actually finish her bachelor's degree! But fate has other plans for Ciara. First she must fulfill her Faustian bargain with the Control, the paranormal paramilitary agency that does its best to keep vampires in line. Turns out the Control wants her for something other than her (nonexistent) ability to kick undead ass. Her anti-holy blood, perhaps? Ciara's suspicions are confirmed when she's assigned to a special-ops division known as the Immanence Corps, run by the Control's oldest vampire and filled with humans who claim to have special powers. To a confirmed skeptic like Ciara, it sounds like a freak fest. But when a mysterious fatal virus spreads through Sherwood--and corpses begin to rise from their graves--Ciara will not only get a crash course in zombie-killing, but will be forced to put her faith, and her life itself, in the hands of magic."--P.

<description><![CDATA["As an Occult Special Investigator, Tess Corday has seen her fair share of disturbing crime scenes--but nothing has ever shocked her as much as the ritualistic murder of a drugged-out runaway kid, who she soon learns was not the first such victim. All the dead teens had traces of the dangerous magical drug called Hex in their bodies. All were the children of powerful mage families. All were killed with the sacred tools of mages. It adds up to the chilling possibility that the OSI is dealing with a serial killer, one who has incredible inhuman powers. To stop the slaughter, Tess and her partner, Derrick, will go anywhere and do anything--including seeking help from the necromancer Lucian Agrado, whom Tess is under orders to avoid. But as the deaths continue, Tess becomes convinced that the identity of the killer is locked inside her own head. And the question is, how many rules is she willing to break to get to the truth]]></description>

But when her soon-to-be-ex-husband, producer Emilio Baird, is caught in a sex scandal, Dallas's charmed life turns tabloid nightmare. Determined to shield her young son, Cody, from the ugly uproar, Dallas seeks refuge in sleepy St. Dennis, Maryland - the Chesapeake Bay town where her happiest childhood days were spent. Reunited with her boisterous great-aunt, Dallas wants nothing more than to leave her Hollywood days behind. And when she crosses paths with local veterinarian Grant Wyler, her high school summer love, she finds he's everything she remembers, and more-and that the spark is still there. But Dallas's promising new life takes a troubling turn when the unimaginable happens and she finds herself living a mother's worst nightmare-and Emilio storms into St. Dennis to save the day, along with his damaged career. Trapped in the unwanted glare of the limelight once again, Dallas discovers that it's coolheaded Grant who is willing to risk everything to protect her and her son, and to secure the future they were always meant to shar]]></description>

After a murder plot meant to take her out leaves an entire race of shapeshifters nearly extinct, Evy is gnawed by guilt. So when one of the few survivors of the slaughter enlists her aid, she feels duty-bound to help--even though protecting a frail, pregnant shifter is the last thing Evy needs, especially with the world going to hell around her. Amid weres, Halfies, gremlins, vamps--and increasingly outgunned humans--a war for supremacy is brewing. With shifters demanding justice, her superiors desperate to control her, and an assassin on her trail, Evy discovers a horrifying conspiracy. And she may be the only person in the world who can stop it--unless, of course, her own side gets her first."--P. [4] of cove]]></description>

After a fling with a nurse at a Bohemian spa, Serge serves in World War I as a radio operator for reconnaissance planes. When his plane is shot down, Serge is taken to a German prison camp, from which he escapes. Back in London, he's recruited for a mission to Cairo on behalf of the shadowy Empire Wireless Chain.

The two have been living in dismal conditions, forgotten in a corner of the palace grounds. When it occurs to the king and queen that an elephant might be an appropriate wedding gift, everyone rushes to get them ready: Subhro is given two new suits of clothes and Solomon a long-overdue scrub." "Accompanied by the archduke, his new bride, and the royal guard, our unlikely heroes traverse a continent riven by the Reformation and civil war. They make their way through the storied cities of northern Italy: Genoa, Piacenza, Mantua, Verona, Venice, and Trent, where the Council of Trent is in session. They brave the Alps and the Terrifying Isarco and Brenner passes; they sail across the Mediterranean Sea and up the Inn River. (Elephants, it turns out, are natural sailors.) At last they make their grand entry into the imperial city of Vienna."--BOOK JACKE]]></description>

Its been years since he last came to Russia, but he finds that little has changed in the post-Soviet era. The espionage performed by Russian, British, and American spies continues unabated. While trying to ferret out the identities of the killers, Charlie faces down greater dangers that threaten to throw foreign relations between the world powers into turmoil.

And with each kill, he leaves his chilling trademark, honed to razor-sharp perfection over decades of practice... But now, reporter Alex Chapa is tracking the story, following the lead of a murdered colleague--and getting dangerously close to the most elusive serial killer in decades... When the next victim surfaces bearing the unmistakable calling card, Alex realizes no one is safe from this psychopath's murderous rage. For the killer has [set] his sights on Alex and those he loves--and only their blood will satisfy him..."--P. [4] of cove]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["A Loving Collaboration between Charles de Lint and his fans, this extraordinary collection celebrates the finest stories of the pioneer of urban fantasy and creator of the mythical city of Newford. Asked to suggest their own favorite stories for inclusion, de Lint's readers were instrumental in creating this timeless treasury." "These retold fairy tales and modern myths redefine magic through de Lint's enchanted characters: playful Crow Girls sneaking into the homes of their sleeping neighbors; a graffiti artist risking everything to expose a long-standing conspiracy; a half-human girl choosing between her village and her strange birthright; and an unrepentant trickster throwing one last party in his folkloric tradition."--BOOK JACKE]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["A Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Conspiracy. Three Families. One Secret. The Epic Race To Solve History's Greatest Mystery Has Begun." "Beneath the sparkling blue water of a remote Pacific atoll, a merciless killer stalks an underwater archaeological dig. His goal: to bring his employer billionaire industrialist Holden Ironwood an impossible artifact that proves a lost civilization's knowledge of astronomy was thousands of years ahead of its time." "At the same time, in the Armed Forces DNA Identification Lab in Maryland, haunted young researcher David Weir risks his freedom to identify a handful of people with nothing in common except their nonhuman genes, genes that he shares." "Meanwhile in the Arctic tundra, a deadly airborne assault on a pipeline crew propels young paleogeologist Jessica MacClary into the innermost circles of her staggeringly wealthy and powerful family as she learns the astonishing secret her ancestors have defended since the beginnings of recorded history." "Now these three strangers on their separate quests to unlock their pasts are unexpectedly driven into violent collision, only to discover that together they hold the key to answering the ultimate question of humanity's origins provided the U.S. Air Force doesn't stop them first..." "Acclaimed New York Times bestselling novelists Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens once again bring their unique blend of relentless suspense and cutting-edge science to a page-turning story of adventure that spans the globe and millennia of human history, racing from long-buried ruins in Cornwall and the casinos of Atlantic City to the forgotten caves that protect a shocking revelation that will tear the veil off the true history of humankind." "With a mystery more profound than Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, and scientific speculation more provocative than Michael Crichton's Next, Search is an adrenaline-fueled, action-packed thriller that goes beyond wild theories of ancient astronauts and sunken empires to suggest a startling new vision of the birth of human civilization"--Book jacke]]></description>
