HARDCOVER FICTION
STORM FRONT by JOHN SANDFORD
The thrilling new novel in the bestselling Virgil Flowers series. Virgil Flowers is at it again working with an Israli cop who happens to be tailing a smuggler of an extraordinary relic — a copper scroll revealing startling details about the man known as King Solomon.
“Wait a minute,” laughs Virgil. “Is this one of those Da Vinci Code deals?” He looks at the cop. She’s not laughing.
T. C. BOYLE STORIES II by T. C. BOYLE
A second volume of short fiction from the bestselling author and master of the form. Few authors write with such sheer love of story and language as T.C. Boyle, and that is nowhere more evident than in his inventive, wickedly funny, and always entertaining short stories. In 1998, T.C. Boyle Stories brought together the author’s first four collections to critical acclaim. Now, T.C. Boyle Stories II gathers the work from his three most recent collections along with fourteen new tales.
LONGBOURN by JO BAKER
In this irresistibly imagined below stairs answer to Pride and Prejudice, the servants take center stage. Sarah, the orphaned housemaid, spends her days scrubbing the laundry, polishing the floors, and emptying the chamber pots for the Bennet household. But there is just as much romance, heartbreak, and intrigue downstairs at Longbourn as there is upstairs. When a mysterious new footman arrives, the orderly realm of the servants’ hall threatens to be completely, perhaps irrevocably, upended.
THE DOUBLE by GEORGE PELECANOS
Every man has his dark side. Spero Lucas confronts his own in the most explosive thriller yet from one of America’s best-loved crime writers.
The job seems simple enough: retrieve the valuable painting–“The Double”–Grace Kinkaid’s ex-boyfriend stole from her. It’s the sort of thing Spero Lucas specializes in: finding what’s missing, and doing it quietly. But Grace wants more. She wants Lucas to find the man who humiliated her–a violent career criminal with a small gang of brutal thugs at his beck and call. Lucas is forced to decide what kind of man he is–and how far he’ll go to get what he wants.
DOOMED by CHUCK PALAHNIUK
Madison Spencer, the liveliest and snarkiest dead girl in the universe, continues the afterlife adventure begun in Chuck Palahniuk’s bestseller Damned. Just as that novel brought us a brilliant Hell that only he could imagine, Doomed is a dark and twisted apocalyptic vision from this provocative storyteller.

THE CIRCLE by DAVE EGGERS
The exhilarating new novel from Dave Eggers, best-selling author of A Hologram for the King, a finalist for the National Book Award.
Mae Holland can’t believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world–even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman’s ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.

TUDORS by PETER ACKROYD
Peter Ackroyd, one of Britain’s most acclaimed writers, brings the age of the Tudors to vivid life in this monumental book. Rich in detail and atmosphere, “Tudors” is the story of Henry VIII’s relentless pursuit of both the perfect wife and the perfect heir; of how the brief reign of the teenage king, Edward VI, gave way to the violent reimposition of Catholicism and the stench of bonfires under “Bloody Mary.” It tells, too, of the long reign of Elizabeth I, which, though marked by civil strife, plots against her, and even an invasion force, finally brought stability.
