Knife Creek by Paul Doiron
When Maine game warden, Mike Bowditch, is tasked with
shooting invasive feral hogs that are tearing up the forest in his district, he
makes a horrific discovery – a dead baby buried in a shallow grave. Even more disturbing is evidence that
suggests the infant was the child of a young woman who was presumed dead four
years earlier, soon after she disappeared from a group rafting trip. As Bowditch assists with the re-opened
investigation, be begins to suspect that some of his neighbors aren’t who they
seem to be. When violence strikes close
to home, he realizes that his unknown enemies will stop at nothing to keep
their terrible secrets. Mike Bowditch
has beat the odds his entire career, but this time, the intrepid warden may
have finally followed his hunches too far.
Corruption by Andrew Klavan
Nestled in the quiet hills of upstate New York, Auburn
County was once the center of urban bliss. When a corpse is discovered in the
murky waters of the Hudson River and the hunt for a murderer begins, that
sleepy rural façade is about to unravel, revealing the web of corruption
underneath. At the head of the hunt are
Cyrus Dolittle, the ailing county sheriff, and small-town journalist Sally
Dawes, who has a penchant for discovering the facts behind a shady story. For years, they’ve been embroiled in a
vicious battle of wits and power, but nothing has prepared either of them for
the ferocity of this confrontation.
While Dolittle scrambles to wrap up this case before the upcoming
election, Dawes races to discover the truth.
As she becomes entangled in a love affair with a married man, she
discovers the lies hidden beneath her most cherished beliefs – and the fact
that no one, ever, is free from corruption.
Klaven constructs a compelling novel of mystery, romance, and suspense,
loaded with eccentric characters and unexpected twists. He creates an aura of nerve jangling tension,
bringing together all the elements that have made him an award-winning
author.
The Second Life of Nick Mason by Steve Hamilton
Nick Mason has already spent five years inside a maximum
security prison when he gets an offer that will grant his release twenty years
early. He accepts, but the deal comes
with a terrible price. Now back on the
streets, Nick has a new house, a new car, money to burn, and a beautiful
roommate. He’s returning to society, but
he’s still a prisoner. Whenever his cell
phone rings, day or night, Nick must answer it and follow whatever order he is
given. It’s the deal he made with Darius
Cole, a criminal mastermind who runs an empire from his prison cell. Forced to commit increasingly more dangerous
crimes, hunted by the relentless detective who put him behind bars, and
desperate to go straight and rebuild his life with his daughter and ex-wife,
Nick will ultimately have to risk everything – his family, his sanity, and his
life – to finally break free.
Keith Richards, the Biography by Victor Bockris
Here is the definitive biography of Keith Richards. For thirty years, Keith Richards stood in the
shadow of Mick Jagger. Now, for the
first time, Richards is put in the spotlight and emerges as the power behind
the throne, the creator, the backbone of the Rolling Stones. From his poverty-stricken roots in postwar
England to his renewed fame on the 1989-90 world tour, Bockris chronicles
Richard’s embattled rise to the top as the archetypical bad boy of the sixties,
his epic struggle with heroin in the 1907’s, and his rebirth as the model
musician of the 1980’s. The author has
gone beyond anything ever written about the Rolling Stones to explore the true
story behind their music, including “Ruby Tuesday,” Gimmee Shelter,” and
“Slipping Away.” This unauthorized
account of a life that mirrors the zeitgeist of the second half of the
twentieth century, finally puts this primary rock artist, and rock itself, in
political, cultural, and spiritual perspective, and establishes Richards as one
of the most important guitar players and greatest songwriters in the history of
rock and roll.
