LATEST ADDITIONS to the Library book shelves this autumn include new titles from big-name writers James Patterson, Val McDermid, Debbie Macomber and Michael Connelly.
Private Vegas
by James Patterson
JACK MORGAN, head of Private Investigations, a global agency for the rich and famous, is being pushed to the limit. His car has been firebombed, his ex is dating someone else, and his twin brother is still out to destroy him.
But Private doesn’t rest, and nor do its clients: not the LAPD who need Private’s help catching two scumbags with diplomatic immunity, and not the client who has just confessed to murdering his wife. Add to that Jack’s best friend being held on a trumped-up charge that could see him locked away for a very long time, and it seems that all bets are off…
Splinter the Silence
by Val McDermid
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILER Tony Hill is trained to see patterns, to decode the mysteries of human behaviour. When he comes across a series of suicides among women tormented by vicious online predators he begins to wonder if there is more to these tragedies than meets the eye.
Similar circumstances, different deaths. Could it be murder? But what kind of serial killer wants his crimes to stay hidden?
Former DCI Carol Jordan has her own demons to confront but, with lives at stake, Tony and Carol begin the hunt for the most dangerous and terrifying kind of killer – someone who has nothing to fear and nothing to lose…
Mr Miracle
by Debbie Macomber
HARRY MILLS is a guardian angel on a mission, to help Addie Folsom get her life back on track – and help her find love.
Creating a happy ending for Addie and her neighbour Erich doesn’t seem life much of a challenge. But soon after arriving in the town of Tacoma, Harry realises that he might need some guidance. Addie and Erich can’t stand each other – growing up he was popular and outgoing, while she was rebellious and headstrong. Addie would now rather avoid Erich entirely, especially at Christmas.
Harry is going to need all the help he can get, and a bit of divine inspiration, to help Addie and Erich find their Christmas miracle.
Trunk Music
by Michael Connelly
HARRY BOSCH is back in Homicide after disciplinary leave. In the wooded hills overlooking the Hollywood Bowl he opens the trunk of a white Rolls Royce and finds a corpse. It looks like a simple case of Trunk Music – a Mafia hit, the victim shot in his own vehicle – but the LAPD’s organised Crime Unit is curiously uninterested.
When Harry starts to glimpse a shocking triangle of corruption and collusion, he is yanked off the case – and suddenly he is the one being investigated. But only a bullet can stop Harry when he is searching for the truth…
