 THE
LAST SURGEON by Michael Palmer
The New York Times bestselling author and master of medical suspense
delivers another shocker of a thriller filled with insider details and a
terrifying psychopath
Four murders.
Three accidents.
Two suicides.
One left…
THE LAST SURGEON
Michael Palmer’s latest novel pits a flawed doctor against a ruthless
psychopath, who has made murder his art form. Dr. Nick Garrity, a vet suffering
from PTSD—post traumatic stress disorder—spends his days and nights dispensing
medical treatment from a mobile clinic to the homeless and disenfranchised in
D.C. and Baltimore. In addition, he is constantly on the lookout for his war
buddy Umberto Vasquez, who was plucked from the streets by the military four
years ago for a secret mission and has not been seen since.
Psych nurse Gillian Coates wants to find her sister’s killer. She does not
believe that Belle Coates, an ICU nurse, took her own life, even though every
bit of evidence indicates that she did—every bit save one. Belle has left
Gillian a subtle clue that connects her with Nick Garrity.
Together, Nick and Gillian determine that one-by-one, each of those in the
operating room for a fatally botched case is dying. Their discoveries pit them
against genius Franz Koller--the highly-paid master of the “non-kill”—the art of
murder that does not look like murder. As Doctor and nurse move closer to
finding the terrifying secret behind these killings, Koller has been given a new
directive: his mission will not be complete until Gillian Coates and Garrity,
the last surgeon, are dead.
 LAST
SNOW
by Eric Van Lustbader
The electrifying follow-up to the
New York Times bestselling Jack McClure thriller First Daughter
Jack McClure, Special Advisor and
closest friend to the new President of the United States, interprets the world
very differently from the rest of us. It’s his greatest liability, and his
greatest asset.
An American senator, supposedly on a
political trip to the Ukraine, turns up dead on the island of Capri. When the
President asks him to find out how and why, Jack sets out from Moscow across
Eastern Europe, following a perilous trail of diplomats, criminals, and corrupt
politicians. Thrust into the midst of a global jigsaw puzzle, Jack’s unique
dyslexic mind allows him to put together the pieces that others can’t even see.
Still unreconciled to the recent
death of his daughter and the dissolution of his marriage, Jack takes on a
personal mission along with his official one: keeping safe from harm his two
unlikely, unexpected, and incompatible companions—Annika Dementieva, a rogue
Russian FSB agent, and Alli Carson, the President’s daughter. As he struggles to
keep both young women safe and unearth the answers he seeks, hunted by everyone
from the Russian mafia to the Ukrainian police to his own NSA, Jack learns just
how far up the American and Russian political ladders corruption and treachery
has reached.
In the vein of Eric Van Lustbader’s
latest bestselling Jason Bourne novels, Lustbader takes us on an international
adventure in this powerful page-turner that will keep you reading through the
night.
 THE
LITTLE DEATH by P. J. Parrish
A little sex. A little death.
Most people would kill to live in glamorous Palm Beach, with its beautiful
women, five-star resorts, and dazzling coast. But most people don't know what
really goes on in the bedrooms of the rich and famous....Mark Durand did - and
now the handsome high-class "walker," who escorted the wealthiest women to posh
affairs, is dead, his beheaded corpse found in an abandoned cattle pen.
South Florida detective Louis Kincaid feels out of his element in Palm Beach,
especially after receiving a ticket for driving an ugly car. But plunged into
the gruesome homicide case, he's agreed to help prime suspect Reggie Kent, an
aging male walker who may or may not have been the victim's lover. And as his
investigation snakes through the privileged class, Kincaid uncovers shocking
truths about a powerful lady senator whose husband collects dangerous
weaponry...a silver-tongued dowager with a taste for gossip...and a seductive
socialite who tries to make Kincaid forget about his girlfriend Joe Frye - by
whispering three little words: "Die with me."

TRAITOR IN US ALL by Robert S. Levinson
Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, two teenage
girls are brutally murdered and a third kidnapped in Eden Highlands, a quiet,
close-knit Southern California community north of San Diego. Jack Sothern, a
discredited, down-on-his-luck freelance writer, connects the crimes to Dan
Boone, the notorious American "Turncoat Rebel" who found fame and fortune behind
the Iron Curtain, and to a long-missing diary kept by sociopath Erich Mielke,
sadistic head of East Germany's Ministry of State Security, the dreaded Stasi,
and. If found, the diary's mother lode of state secrets would bring millions in
a bidding war among countries. Deals are struck, treachery substitutes for the
truth and the body count rises in a non-stop series of revelations as Sothern
races to locate the diary, save the kidnapped girl and redeem his honor.
 CITY
OF DRAGONS by Kelli Stanley
February, 1940. In San Francisco's Chinatown, fireworks

fatally shot body of Eddie Takahashi. The Chamber of Commerce wants it covered
up. The cops acquiesce. All Miranda wants is justice--whatever it costs. From
Chinatown tenements, to a tattered tailor's shop in Little Osaka, to a
high-class bordello draped in Southern Gothic, she shakes down the city--her
city--seeking the truth. An outstanding series debut.

his will results in excruciating pain. Then his friends stage a rescue he never
believed possible. Finally "safe" at home, Max still can't escape the prison of

 JACK:
SECRET CIRCLES by F. Paul Wilson
When his five-year-old neighbor goes missing, Jack can't help feeling
responsible. He should have taken Cody home when he found him riding his bicycle
near the Pine Barrens. And then a lost man wanders out of the woods after being
chased all night by...something. Jack knows, better than anyone, that the
Barrens are dangerous-a true wilderness filled with people, creatures, and
objects lost from sight and memory. Like the ancient, fifteen-foot-tall stone
pyramid he, Weezy, and Eddie discover. Jack thinks it might have been a cage of
some sort, but for what kind of animal, he can't say. Eddie jokes that it could
have been used for the Jersey Devil. Jack doesn't believe in that old folk tale,
but something is roaming the Pines. Could it have Cody? And what about the
strange circus that set up outside town? Could they be involved? So many
possibilities, so little time...
