| Trapeze
Simon Mawer
 An old fashioned adventure story set in the espionage stage of WWII. An ordinary young woman in England, a native French speaker, is recruited as an agent. Romance, violence and deception make this a fine page-turning literary thriller. Paperback. |
Tabloid City
Pete Hamill
 As much a thriller as it is a gripping portrait of the city of today, Tabloid City is a new fiction classic from the writer who has captured it perfectly for decades. Just the right book to get lost in. Paperback and Ebook. |
The Troubled Man
Henning Mankell
 Haven't read any Mankell yet? "Arguably Mankell's best Wallander book-which makes the finale for his rule-breaking, overeating, over-drinking, depressed but ultimately good-hearted and righteous detective all the more poignant." -The Plain Dealer |
2030
Albert Brooks
Hilarious! "Albert Brooks is a keen and critical social observer...His first novel is an inspired work of social science fiction, thoughtful and ambitiously conceived, both serious and seriously funny."--Boston Globe Paperback and Ebook |

The Legend of Pradeep Mathew
Shehan Karunatilaka
The indie book critics are gushing about this one. "The Great Sri Lankan novel" and "To refer to The Legend of Pradeep Mathew as a book about cricket is a sin tantamount to calling Moby Dick a book about a whale" and on. Obviously we have to read it! Judge a book by its' cover - sure do! Paperback and Ebook |
The Last Hundred Days
Patrick McGuinness
 The last hundred days of Rumanian Communism in a gripping page-turner written with poetic flair. A debut novel for McGuinness, The Last Hundred Days is fiction, but feels like nonfiction, with spies, party aparatchicks, dissidents and diplomats. A real gem, Paperback and Ebook.

Melissa Coleman  Coleman's searing chronicle tells the true story of her upbringing on communes and sustainable farms along the rugged Maine coastline in the 1970's, embedded within a moving, personal quest for truth that her experiences produced. Paperback and Ebook. |
The Cranes Dance
Meg Howrey
 An edgy, provocative and ultimately touching story of the complex ties of sisters, the demands of the intense world of ballet, and responsibility to those we love. Paperback and Ebook. |
IQ84
Haruki Murakami
 If the hardcover was too daunting to hold, this 3 volume paperback set is just right! "A grand, third-person, all encompassing meganovel. It is a book full of anger and violence and disaster and weird sex and strange new realities, a book that seems to want to hold all of Japan inside of it."
-The New York Times Magazine
