Product Description
This #1 bestselling officially authorized thriller from Michael Connelly is a stunning spectacle of novelistic mastery – as human, as gripping, and as whiplash-surprising as any novel yet from the writer Publishers Weekly has called “today’s Dostoevsky of crime literature.”

Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense attorney who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, traveling between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers – they’re all on Mickey Haller’s client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence, it’s about negotiation and manipulation. Sometimes it’s even about justice.

A Beverly Hills playboy arrested for attacking a woman he selected up in a bar chooses Haller to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years. It is a defense attorney’s dream, what they call a franchise case. And as the evidence stacks up, Haller comes to judge this may be the simplest case of his career. Then a name close to him is murdered and Haller discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil as pure as a flame. To escape lacking being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal – this time to save his own life.

Amazon.com Review
Best-selling leader Michael Connelly, whose character-driven literary mysteries have earned him a wide following, breaks from the gate in the over-crowded meadow of officially authorized thrillers and leaves every additional contender from Grisham to Turow in the dust with this tightly plotted, brilliantly paced, impossible-to-place-down novel.

Criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller’s father was a legendary lawyer whose clients included gangster Mickey Cohen (in a nice twist, Cohen’s gun, agreed to Dad then bequeathed to his son, plays a key role in the plot). But Dad also passed on an vital piece of advice that’s especially significant when Mickey takes the case of a wealthy Los Angeles realtor accused of attempted murder: “The scariest client a lawyer will ever have is an innocent client. Because if you [screw] up and he goes to prison, it’ll scar you for life.”

Louis Roulet, Mickey’s “franchise client” (so-called becaue he’s able and willing to pay whatever his defense costs) seems to be the one his father warned him against, as well as being a few rungs privileged on the socio-economic ladder than the drug dealers, homeboys, and motorcycle thugs who comprise Mickey’s regular case load. But as the holes in Roulet’s tale tear Mickey’s theory of the case to shreds, his thoughts turn more to Jesus Menendez, a ex- client convicted of a similar crime who’s now languishing in San Quentin. Connelly tellingly delineates the code of officially authorized ethics Mickey lives by: “It didn’t matter…whether the defendant ‘did it’ or not. What mattered was the evidence against him–the proof–and if and how it could be neutralized. My job was to bury the proof, to color the proof a shade of gray. Gray was the color of reasonable doubt.” But by the time his client goes to examination, Mickey’s feeling a few very reasonable doubts of his own.

While Mickey’s courtroom pyrotechnics dazzle, his behind-the-scenes machinations and manipulations are even more incendiary in this taut, gripping novel, which showcases all of Connelly’s literary gifts. There’s not an excess sentence or padded paragraph in it–what there is, happily, is a character who, like Harry Bosch, deserves a franchise series of his own. –Jane Adams

Product Description
Virginia Woolf (née Stephen) (1882-1941) was an English novelist and essayist regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary facts of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her most legendary works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), and the book-part essay A Room of One’s Own (1929) with its legendary dictum, “a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction. ” Woolf started writing well in 1905, initially for the Times Literary Supplement with a journalistic piece about Haworth, home of the Brontë family tree. Her first novel, The Voyage Out, was published in 1915. She went on to publish novels and essays as a public intellectual to both critical and well loved success. Woolf is considered one of the greatest innovators in the English language. In her works she experimented with stream-of-consciousness, the underlying psychological as well as emotional motives of characters, and the various possibilities of broke narrative and chronology.

Product Description

A young NASA doctor must combat a lethal microbe that is multiplying in the deadliest of environments — space — in this acclaimed blockbuster of medical suspense from Tess Gerritsen, bestselling leader of Harvest, Life Support, and Bloodstream.

Gravity

Dr. Emma Watson has been training for the adventure of a lifetime: to study living beings in space. But her mission aboard the International Space Station turns into a nightmare beyond imagining when a culture of single-celled organisms starts to regenerate out of control — and infects the space station crew with agonizing and deadly results. Emma struggles to contain the outbreak while back on Planet her alienated spouse, Jack McCallum, works frantically with NASA to bring her home. But there will be no rescue. The contagion now threatens Planet’s population, and the astronauts are stranded in orbit, quarantined aboard the station — where they are dying one by one…Amazon.com Review
Tess Gerritsen used to be a doctor, so it comes as no fantastic surprise that the medical aspects of her latest thriller are absolutely convincing–even if most of the action happens in a place where few doctors have ever practiced–outer space.

Dr. Emma Watson and five additional hand-selected astronauts are about to take part in the trip of a lifetime–studying living creatures in space. But an alien life form, establish in the deepest crevices of the ocean floor, is accidentally brought aboard the shuttle Atlantis. This mutated alien life form makes the creatures in Aliens look like backyard pets.

Soon the crew are suffering severe stomach pains, violent convulsions, and eyes so bloodshot that a gallon of Murine wouldn’t help. Gerritsen brilliantly describes the difficulties of treating sick people inside a space module, and how the lack of gravity affects the process of taking blood and inserting a nasal tube. Dr. Watson does her best, but her colleagues die off one by one and the people at NASA don’t want to risk bringing the platform back to planet. Only Emma’s spouse, a doctor/astronaut himself, refuses to give up on her. As we read along, eyes popping out of our heads, all that’s missing is one of persons featureless NASA voices adage, “Houston, we have a problem–we’re being attacked by tiny small creatures that are part human, part frog, and part mouse.”

Additional examples of Gerritsen’s controlled medical horrors: Bloodstream, Harvest, and Life Support. –Dick Adler

Product Description
Recalling the temperamental violence of the early novels of Cormac McCarthy and Denis Johnson, a dark and visceral debut set along the seedy wastelands of Galveston by a young writer with a hard edge to his potent literary style

On the same day that Roy Cady is diagnosed with a mortal illness, he senses that his boss, a treacherous loan-sharking bar-owner, wants him dead. Known “lacking affection” to members of the boss’s crew as “Huge Country” on account of his long hair, beard, and cowboy boots, Roy is alert to the possibility that a routine assignment could be a deathtrap. Which it is. Yet what the would-be killers do to Roy Cady is not the same as what he does to them, which is to say that after a smoking ripple of violence, they are mostly dead and he is mostly alive.Before Roy makes his getaway, he realizes there are two women in the apartment, one of them still breathing, and he sees something in her frightened, defiant eyes that causes a fateful choice. He takes her with him as he goes on the run from New Orleans to Galveston, Texas—an action as ill-advised as it is inescapable. The girl’s name is Rocky, and she is too young, too tough, too sexy—and far too much distress. Roy, Rocky, and her sister hide in the battered panorama of Galveston’s country-western bars and fleabag hotels, a world of treacherous drifters, pickup trucks, and ashed-out hopes. Any chance that they will find safety there is soon lost. Rocky is a girl with reasonably a tale to tell, one that will pursue and hurt Roy for a very long time to come in this powerful and atmospheric thriller, impossible to place down. Constructed with maximum tension and haunting aftereffect, written in darkly gorgeous prose, Galveston announces the arrival of a major new literary talent.
