 SPIDER
BONES by Kathy Reichs
Temperance Brennan Series #13
Kathy Reichs—#1 New York Times
bestselling author and producer of the FOX television hit Bones—returns with the
thirteenth riveting novel featuring forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance
Brennan.
John Lowery was declared dead in 1968—the
victim of a Huey crash in Vietnam, his body buried long ago in North Carolina.
Four decades later, Temperance Brennan is called to the scene of a drowning in
Hemmingford, Quebec. The victim appears to have died while in the midst of a
bizarre sexual practice. The corpse is later identified as John Lowery. But how
could Lowery have died twice, and how did an American soldier end up in Canada?
Tempe sets off for the answer, exhuming
Lowery’s grave in North Carolina and taking the remains to Hawaii for
reanalysis—to the headquarters of JPAC, the U.S. military’s Joint POW/ MIA
Accounting Command, which strives to recover Americans who have died in past
conflicts. In Hawaii, Tempe is joined by her colleague and ex-lover Detective
Andrew Ryan (how “ex” is he?) and by her daughter, who is recovering from her
own tragic loss. Soon another set of remains is located, with Lowery’s dog tags
tangled among them. Three bodies—all identified as Lowery.
And then Tempe is contacted by Hadley
Perry, Honolulu’s flamboyant medical examiner, who needs help identifying the
remains of an adolescent boy found offshore. Was he the victim of a shark
attack? Or something much more sinister?
A complex and riveting tale of deceit and
murder unfolds in this, the thirteenth thrilling novel in Reichs’s “cleverly
plotted and expertly maintained series” (The New York Times Book Review). With
the smash hit Bones now in its fifth season and in full syndication—and her most
recent novel, 206 Bones, an instant New York Times bestseller—Kathy Reichs is at
the top of her game.

 FLY
BY WIRE by Ward Larson
With its revolutionary fly-by-wire
technology, the C-500 had become the freight airframe of choice. Until a routine
delivery goes horribly wrong.
Falling like a stone from six miles up, a brand new C-500 crashes in central
France, killing two pilots aboard. When French officials take over this highly
public investigation, they call in the best there is: they call Frank 'Jammer'
Davis.
A retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, Davis is part of the NTSB's 'go-team.'
With a reputation for getting things done-and for steamrolling anyone who gets
in his way-Davis starts to dig.
But just as Davis starts his investigation, news of the crash is overshadowed by
a more spectacular disaster: suicide bombers attack oil refineries worldwide,
sending governments and financial markets into a tailspin.
A relentless Davis keeps investigating, but uncovering the cause of the crash,
and its terrifying connection to this worldwide disaster, reveals a conspiracy
of unthinkable proportions-a conspiracy he might not be able to stop.
Jammer Davis won't stop until he gets answers-or until somebody stops him from
getting answers.

 PRETTY
LITTLE THINGS by Jilliane Hoffman
Thirteen-year-old
Lainey Emerson is the middle child in a household that police are already
familiar with: her mother works too much and her step-father favors his own
blood over another man’s problems—namely, Lainey and her wild older sister,
Liza. So when Lainey does not come home from a Friday night out with her
friends, it is dismissed by the Coral Springs Police Department as just another
disillusioned South Florida teen running away from suburban drama and an unhappy
home life.
But Special Agent Bobby Dees, who has headed up the department’s di4cult Crimes
Against Children (CAC) Squad in Miami for more than a decade, is not quite so
sure. Nicknamed “The Shepherd” by colleagues, he has an uncanny ability to find
the missing and bring them back home—dead or alive. Haunted by the still
unsolved disappearance of his own daughter, Bobby recognizes the all too
familiar up-swell inside him, the gut feeling that Lainey Emerson is no runaway.
A search of Lainey’s computer and a talk with her best friend reveal Lainey was
involved in a secret Internet relationship, spawned over a chat room, and
nurtured through untraceable instant messages. Bobby fears she may be the victim
of an on-line predator, and he fears she may not be the only one.
 BACHELOR
SHERIFF by Paula Graves

an innocent Melissa Draper protection, he doesn't realize what he's signed up

passionate woman safe. But the fact that she's suddenly become a target makes

 IN
THE ECHO OF VIOLENCE by Jordan Dane
The man she'd trust with her heart could sabotage
everything...
When terrorists attack a Haitian missionary school, brutally killing their
hostages and posting videos of the senseless murders online, time is running
out. Sentinels' agent Alexa Marlowe is forced into an unlikely alliance with a
relentless mercenary. But he is no stranger.
Jackson Kinkaid witnessed the raid, and only he can track the killers to their
mountain stronghold. Guarding a dark secret, rumored to sell his services to the
highest bidder, Jackson is not the same man Alexa once knew. And although he can
lead her to the terrorist leader she's been ordered to take alive, how can she
be sure he won't sabotage her mission to save the one person who got him through
the worst nightmare of his life?

 SKATING
AROUND THE LAW by Joelle Charbonneau
Rebecca Robbins is a woman on a mission---to sell the roller rink she
inherited from her mother and get back to Chicago. Fast. However, when she
discovers the dead body of the town’s handyman headfirst in a rink toilet,
potential buyers are scared off. Now Rebecca is stuck in a small town where her
former neighbors think she doesn’t belong, living with her scarily frisky
grandfather, Pop, and relying on a police department that’s better at gardening
than solving crimes.
Eager to move forward with her life, Rebecca begins investigating the murder
herself, reluctantly accepting help from Pop and his extensive social network,
which includes a handsome veterinarian and a former circus camel named Elwood.
Nevertheless, someone isn’t happy she’s looking into the case, and their threats
will have her questioning whether playing sleuth was such a good idea after all.
Joelle Charbonneau’s debut is a sheer delight---a laugh-out-loud mystery with
plenty of heart.
