Alistair Maclean's thriller explodes into action with what looks like a driver's miscalculation, a consequent crash, and a powerful racing car that is transformed instantly into a blazing funeral pyre. Johnny Harlow, number one winner on the Grand Prix circuit, seems to be responsible for the "accident"- the latest in a series of disasters that has included the elimination by violence of Johnny's younger brother. The pit boss says he's doubtful that the troubles are being caused by explainable mechanical failures, the head of the team begins to believe that Johnny is losing his nerve, and jealous rivals start referring to Harlow as a has-been. But as the pressures and the tensions mount, a vicious pattern begins to emerge- and Johnny finds himself in a hair-raising race where the prize is survival and the penalty is death. In this fast-paced novel of danger and suspense, one of today's master storytellers tells a tale that moves with the speed of racing motors towards a finish that only one can win.

The Way To Dusty Death

Alistair McLean's novel is a story of a movie crew's journey to a deserted island north of the Arctic circle and the strange events that take place there. What starts out as a routine trip turns into a whirlpool of murderous intrigue. Bear Island is lonely, desolate and bathed in Arctic darkness most of the year - an erie and uncanny setting for a group of men and women who become caught in a web of violence. While making their way to the island aboard a converted trawler in a stormy sea, the passengers and crew become witnesses to what may be maniacal mass murders. The three deaths at sea trigger a nameless fear that is all too readily enforced by two more very sudden, very violent and very inexplicable deaths on Bear Island. Does the most isolated island in the Arctic guard a secret more valuable than five lives? Are some or all of the company marked for death? Is there a pathological killer in their midst? Or have their imaginations run wild because of an unusual number of accidental deaths? Set in an exotic locale, Bear Island is a hard-hitting tale of intrigue which builds to a bristling climax and international repercussions.

Laura Lippman

A Novel

An African-American man accused of rape by a humiliated girl. A vengeful father. A courageous attorney. A worshipful daughter. Think you know this story? Think again. Laura Lippman, the “extravagantly gifted” (Chicago Tribune) New York Times bestselling author, delivers “one of her best novels ” (Washington Post)—a modern twist on To Kill a Mockingbird. Scott Turow writes in the New York Times, “Wilde Lake is a real success.” Luisa “Lu” Brant is the newly elected state’s attorney representing suburban Maryland—including the famous planned community of Columbia, created to be a utopia of racial and economic equality. Prosecuting a controversial case involving a disturbed drifter accused of beating a woman to death, the fiercely ambitious Lu is determined to avoid the traps that have destroyed other competitive, successful women. She’s going to play it smart to win this case—and win big—cementing her political future. But her intensive preparation for trial unexpectedly dredges up painful recollections of another crime—the night when her brother, AJ, saved his best friend at the cost of another man’s life. Only eighteen, AJ was cleared by a grand jury. Justice was done. Or was it? Did the events of 1980 happen as she remembers them? She was only a child then. What details didn’t she know? As she plunges deeper into the past, Lu is forced to face a troubling reality. The legal system, the bedrock of her entire life, does not have all the answers. But what happens when she realizes that, for the first time, she doesn’t want to know the whole truth?

From Erica Spindler, the New York Times bestselling author of The Other Girl and Justice for Sara comes The Look-Alike, a thrilling psychological drama about a woman who believes she escaped a brutal murder years ago—but does anyone else believe her? Sienna Scott grew up in the dark shadow of her mother’s paranoid delusions. Now, she's returned home to confront her past and the unsolved murder that altered the course of her life. In her mother’s shuttered house, an old fear that has haunted Sienna for years rears its ugly head—that it was she who had been the killer’s target that night. And now, with it, a new fear—that the killer not only intended to remedy his past mistake—he’s already begun. But are these fears any different from the ones that torment her mother? As the walls close in, the line between truth and lie, reality and delusion disintegrate. Has Sienna’s worst nightmare come true? Or will she unmask a killer and finally prove she may be her mother’s look-alike, but she’s not her clone?
