She’s back, pimpin’ out notable new releases to place on your radar!
SWAN PEAK by James Lee Burke — Det. Robicheaux is far from his New Iberia roots, attempting to relax in the untouched wilderness of rural Montana. He, his wife, and his buddy Clete Purcell have retreated to stay at an old friend’s ranch, hoping to spend their days fishing and enjoying their distance from the harsh, gritty landscape of Louisiana post-Katrina. But the serenity is soon shattered when two college students are found brutally murdered in the hills behind where the Robicheauxs and Purcell are staying. They quickly find themselves involved in a twisted and dangerous mystery involving a wealthy, vicious oil tycoon; his deformed brother and beautiful wife; a sexually deviant minister; an escaped con and former country music star; and a vigilante Texas gunbull out for blood.
THE SISTER by Poppy Adams — From her lookout in the crumbling mansion that was her childhood home, Ginny waits for her younger sister to arrive. Vivien has not set foot in the house since she left nearly 50 years ago; the reclusive Ginny has rarely ventured out, carrying on her father’s solitary work studying moths. As the sisters revisit their shared past, they realize that their recollections differ in essential and unsettling ways. Before long, the deeply buried resentments that have shaped both their lives rise to the surface, and Vivien’s presence threatens to disrupt Ginny’s carefully ordered world.
THE DISCWORLD GRAPHIC NOVELS by Terry Pratchett — Imagine a flat world, sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle. The Discworld is a place (and a time) parallel to our own — but also very different. That is the setting for Terry Pratchett’s DISCWORLD series, which now celebrates its 25th anniversary. THE DISCWORLD GRAPHIC NOVELS presents the very first two volumes of this much-loved series in graphic novel form. First published 15 years ago, these fully illustrated versions are now issued for the first time in hardback. Introduced here are the bizarre misadventures of Twoflower, the Discworld’s first ever tourist, and possibly — portentously — its last, and his guide Rincewind, the spectacularly inept wizard.
SAY GOODBYE by Lisa Gardner — For Kimberly Quincy, FBI Special Agent, it all starts with a pregnant hooker. The story Delilah Rose tells Kimberly about her johns is too horrifying to be true, but prostitutes are disappearing, one by one, with no explanation, and no one but Kimberly seems to care. As a member of the Evidence Response Team, dead hookers aren’t exactly her specialty. The young agent is five months pregnant — she has other things to worry about than an alleged lunatic who uses spiders to do his dirty work. But Kimberly’s own mother and sister were victims of a serial killer. And now, without any bodies and with precious few clues, it’s all too clear that a serial killer has found the key to the perfect murder … or Kimberly is chasing a crime that never happened.
