New on the shelves for the summer

11th May 2016 by Anne James

The Revenant

Michael Punke

THIS IS the book that inspired the Oscar-nominated motion picture starring Leonardo Di Caprio. Hugh Glass isn’t afraid to die. He’s done it once already. When expert tracker Glass is viciously mauled by a bear, death seem inevitable. The two men ordered to remain with him flee, stripping him of his rifle and hatchet and leaving him to die alone.

But soon a grim, horribly scarred figure is seen wandering, asking after two men, one with a gun that seems too good for him…

Solitude Creek

by Jeffrey Deaver

WHEN AN interrogation goes badly wrong, California Bureau of Investigation agent Kathryn Dance finds herself busted back to rookie. Her new assignment: routine insurance checks after a roadhouse fire. But the evidence show that the fire was no tragic accident. A highly trained expert in body language, Dance’s most deadly weapon is her instinct, and they can’t take that away from her. Protocol won’t stop her doing everything in her power to take down the perpetrator.

Someone out there is using the panic of crowds to kill and Dance must find out who before he strikes again…

A Vintage Wedding

by Katie FForde

IN THE SMALL West Country town of Bath, Lindy and Rachel are looking for new beginnings. So they set up in business, organising stylish and perfectly affordable vintage weddings. Soon they are busy arranging other people’s Big Days. What neither of them realise is that their own romances are waiting just around the corner…

No Cure For Love

by Peter Robinson

AS A DETECTIVE in the LAPD threat managing unit, Arvo Hughes has dealt with every kind of stalker there is – and in 1990s Hollywood he is not short of work. Tasked with finding out who has been sending unsettling anonymous letters to beautiful TV star Sarah Broughton, Arvo expects this case to be nothing out of the ordinary – until the actress discovers a strangely mutilated body left in the sand outside her beach house.

Certain that Sarah’s stalker must have met her before, Arvo realises that his only chance to catch the killer before he gets closer to Sarah is to delve into her past. But nothing is straightforward in this case and the squeaky-clean star seems to be keeping all memories of a shady history locked away…
