The answer to every Connelly fan's dream: Hieronymus Bosch meets the Lincoln Lawyer! "Bestseller Connelly delivers one of his most intricate plots to date in his 20th book, a beautifully executed crime thriller. When L.A. lawyer Mickey Haller, last seen in The Lincoln Lawyer, inherits the practice and caseload of a fellow defense attorney, Jerry Vincent, who's been murdered, the high-profile double-homicide case against famed Hollywood producer Walter Elliot, accused of shooting his wife and her alleged lover, takes top priority. As Haller scrambles to build a defense, he butts heads with LAPD Det. Harry Bosch, the stalwart hero of Connelly's long-running series, who's working Vincent's murder. When Haller realizes that the Elliot affair is bigger than simply a jealous husband killing his cheating wife, he and Bosch grudgingly agree to work together to solve what could be the biggest case in both their careers. Bosch might have met his match in the wily Haller, and readers will delight in their sparring," says Publishers Weekly.

At the close of the phenomenal bestseller Ender's Game, Andrew Wiggin-called Ender by everyone-is told that he can no longer live on Earth, and he realizes that this is the truth. He has become far more than just a boy who won a game: he is the Savior of Earth, a hero, a military genius whose allegiance is sought by every nation of the newly shattered Earth Hegemony. He is offered the choice of living in isolation on Eros, at one of the Hegemony's training facilities, but instead the twelve-year-old chooses to leave his home world and begin the long relativistic journey out to the colonies. With him goes his sister Valentine, and the core of the artificial intelligence that will become Jane. The story of those years has never been told-until now.

An Evil Guest is an excellent stand-alone genre- bending novel from the king of subtle and sly. Cross the pulp pleasure of noir detective stories with some swaggering and swashbuckling space exploration, throw in seductively dark romance, combine Lovecraftian mythos with tech-spec and you start to approach this book. What that doesn't convey is the incredible mastery with which Wolfe pulls the reader into his world-no one can match his style and prowess. -Nici

This fascinating prequel to the Nina Reilly novels takes readers back to her first murder investigation-the case that ignited her passionate commitment to fighting for justice. Set in Carmel and Big Sur, Nina is convinced that a murder has taken place (despite the lack of evidence of foul play) and sets out on her own quest for the truth. Her investigations lead nowhere until she recognizes a crucial, overlooked fact: sometimes people keep their true feelings and desires secret, even from the people who love them. This new novel by the O'Shaughnessy sisters will keep you up nights turning the pages. -Clytia Fuller

Jack McDevitt returns with the fourth book in his Alex Benedict series (following A Talent For War, Seeker, and Polaris). If you haven't read the first three books yet, allow me to sum them up for you, spoiler-free: way far distant future, space travel, off-world archaeology, adventure, suspense, and some of my favorite characters ever written. Called "the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke" by Stephen King, Jack McDevitt is one of my favorite authors, and this is one of my favorite series. -M.G.
