Valley of Bones by Michael Gruber

The startling reviews of Tropic of Night announced Michael Gruber as one of the most talented thriller writers to debut in many years. Now, with the much-anticipated publication of Valley of Bones, Gruber fulfills that genre-bending promise as perhaps no writer since Graham Greene, with a genuinely exhilarating thriller that simultaneously offers a profound, deeply provocative exploration of the nature of faith itself.

The author of The Princess Diaries is back with Every Boy's Got One. Meg Cabot is back again with another fabulously funny love story that takes readers on a wild wedding-day ride from New York City to the Italian Riviera.

Ann and I can't recommend any book this season more highly than Baker Towers by Jennifer Haigh. This is a stunning follow-up to her bestselling debut, Mrs. Kimble, and tells a compelling story of love and loss in a western Pennsylvania mining town in the years after World War II.

Revolution No. 9 by Neil McMahon gives us a gripping tale: An ordinary man -- a father, a doctor -- becomes the final obstacle to a charismatic cult leader's fiendish plan for revolution. The Chicago Tribune called Revolution No. 9 "An absolutely riveting read ... McMahon ... creates a terrorist so authentically motivated that he quickly becomes touchingly real." And early First Look readers, such as Gail from Philadelphia, PA agreed: "Give this one 5 Stars. It grabbed me from the first page ... be assured, the fast paced plot will keep you hooked. I will definitely be looking for the previous Carroll Monks thrillers and any new ones to come."
