"The 18th installment in the Pendergast series by Preston and Child gives the hero a partner in the hunt for a strange killer... Pendergast is highly successful in closing cases on his own but 'was about as rogue as they came,' and suspects tend not to survive his investigations. Agent Coldmoon's secret assignment is to keep a close eye on his partner, 'a bomb waiting to go off' ... [VERSES FOR THE DEAD has] a nerve-wracking finish. Readers will love the quirky characters in this clever yarn. Pendergast and Coldmoon make an excellent pair. "
Crucible: A Thriller (Sigma Force Novels) by James Rollins
"Superb and scintillating...Rollins shades Crucible with equal measures of science and speculation, mixed in typically brilliant fashion and propelling him past the likes of Wilbur Smith and Alistair MacLean to claim the mantle of the greatest action-adventure writer of this or any generation."
The New
Iberia Blues: A Dave Robicheaux Novel by James Lee Burke
“We’re hanging on for Robicheaux’s pensées...and
those angry outbursts when Robicheaux lets it rip: 'I don’t think you get it,'
he tells one of the movie people. 'Louisiana is America’s answer to Guatemala.
Our legal system is a joke. Our legislature is a mental asylum. How’d you like
to spend a few days in our parish prison?' Only if there’s a new James Lee
Burke novel in the cell."
