10th Anniversary - Women's Murder Club #10 (James Patterson & Maxine Paetro)

10th Anniversary - Women's Murder Club #10

James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

Blurb: Detective Lindsay Boxer finally gets married. But two violent crimes push the Women's Murder Club back to full throttle before the wedding gifts are even unwrapped.

For every secret.

Detective Lindsay Boxer's long-awaited wedding celebration becomes a distant memory when she is called to investigate a horrendous attack: A teenage girl is badly injured and left for dead, and her newborn baby is missing. Lindsay discovers that there is no trace of the criminals - and the victim may be keeping secrets as well.

For every lie.

Assistant District Attorney Yuki Castellano is prosecuting the biggest case of her life: A woman stands accused of murdering her husband in front of her two young children. Yuki's career rests on a guilty verdict. But when Lindsay finds evidence that could save the defendant, Yuki must choose between trusting her best friend - or following her instinct.

There's a different way to die.

With her every move watched by her new boss and the pressure to find the baby interfering with her new marriage to Joe, Lindsay wonders if she'll ever be able to start a family...or solve her two cases. With James Patterson's white-hot speed and unquenchable action, 10th Anniversary is the most deliciously chilling Women's Murder Club book ever.

Dead in the Family- Sookie Stackhouse #10 (Charlaine Harris)

Dead in the Family - Sookie Stackhouse #10

Charlaine Harris

Blurb: If you think you relationships are complicated, think again: you haven't seen anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton.

In addition to the multitude of family issues complicating her life, the werewolf pack of Shreveport has asked Sookie for a special favour, and since Sookie is an obliging young woman, she agrees. But this favour for the wolves has dire results for Sookie, who is still recovering from the trauma of her abduction during the Fairy War.

10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America (Steven M. Gillon)

10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America

Steven M. Gillon

Blurb: A companion book to The History Channel special series of ten one-hour documentaries.

10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America pinpoints pivotal days that transformed our nation. For the series and the book, The History Channel challenged a panel of leading historians, including author Steven M. Gillon, to come up with some less well-known but historically significant events that triggered change in America. Together, the days they chose tell a story about the great democratic ideals upon which our country was built.

You won't find July 4, 1776, for instance, or the attack on Fort Sumter that ignited the Civil War, or the day Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. But January 25, 1787, is here. On that day, the ragtag men of Shay's Rebellion attacked the federal arsenal in Springfield, Massachusetts, and set the new nation on the path to a strong central government. January 24, 1848, is also on the list. That's when a carpenter named John Marshall spotted a few glittering flakes of gold in a California riverbed. The discovery profoundly altered the American dream. Here, too, is the day that noted pacifist Albert Einstein unwittingly advocated the creation of the Manhattan Project, thus setting in motion a terrible chain of events.

Re-creating each even with vivid immediacy, accessibility, and historical accuracy, 10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America comes together as a history of our country, from the first colonists' contact with Native Americans to the 1960s. It is a snapshot of our country as we were, are, and will be.
