The audacious new adventure of the At Risk team, from america's number-one-bestselling crime writer. When Patricia Cornwell introduced the quick-silver, cut-to-the-bone style and extraordinary cast of characters of "At Risk is Cornwell's finest novel. It works in every way possible - fascinating characters, solid plot, great pacing and expertly crafted prose" (St. Louis Post Dispatch). "Absolutely the best. Here's hoping we'll see more of Win, Monique, Nana and Sykes in the coming years. They are the best characters to emerge from Cornwell's creative pen since well, Kay Scarpetta" (The Denver Post). At Risk featured Massachuettes state investigator Win Garano, a shrewd man of mixed -race background and a not inconsiderable chip on his shoulder; D.A. Monique Lamont, a hard-charging woman with powerful ambitions and a troubling willingness to cut corners; and Garano's grandmother, who has certain unpredictable talents that you ignore at your peril. And in The Front, peril is what comes to them all. D.A. Lamont has a special job for Garano. As part of a new public relations campaign concerning the dangers of declining neighborhoods, she's sending him to Watertown to come up with a "drama" and she thinks she knows just the case that will serve. Garano is very skeptical, because he knows that Watertown is also the home base for a loose association of municipal police departments called the FRONT, set up so that they don't have to be so dependent on the state-much to Lamont's anger. He senses a much deeper agenda here-but he has no idea just how deep it goes. In the days that follow, he'll find that Lamont's task, and the places it leads him, will resemble a house of mirrors - everywhere he turns, he's not quite sure if what he's seeing is true. "Falsehoods rule," warns his grandmother. And they can also kill. This is the master writing at the absolute top of her game. You will never guess what lies behind The Front.

In "Twins," Bari Wood and Jack Geasland weave a masterful tale of suspense and shocking disclosure, insistently drawing the reader toward a terrible domain of gnawing fear and consuming passion that was made for only two. The boys were married in the womb. As youngsters, they dressed alike. When they entered a room, all eyes were on them. Attention, praise, the subtlest pleasure -- all was to be shared between them. And sharing always made it that much better. Yet behind their perfect faces, hidden by their secret smiles, a grotesque force had found a dwelling place. They were linked by a mysterious bond that stretched far beyond their childish years. Only the old man saw it. His warning remained like a forgotten dream -- but he was long dead before the horrors began. When Mike and Dave got older, they always double-dated and looked for girls who liked to be shared. The girls usually didn't mind -- the twins were so beautiful, so perfectly alike, so destined for success. Handsome, charming, and with a gift for putting women at ease, they were to become the most prosperous doctors in the city. Younger by a few minutes, Michael was always the frightened one: His mystical, more-than-brotherly love was tempered by fear. As the solace of their private, shared world became a terrifying nightmare, he tried every path to escape -- friends, family, and career became obstacles against his mirror image. News of their tragic death spread quickly among their wealthy, faithful patients. After practicing together for years, they were at the pinnacle of their profession. Recently they had moved into the old family apartment on Riverside Drive. Acquaintances had applauded the move -- after all, Michael could never hurt David. And David could never, never hurt Michael.

Sir Walter Raleigh-soldier, explorer, adventurer, lover of Queen Elizabeth-emerges from the pages of history and myth, full-blooded, passionate, and profoundly human.  After unjustly languishing for years in the Tower, Raleigh undertakes one final voyage in search of gold.  On his doomed quest he contends with Spanish forces, mutiny, pirates, court intrigue, and disease, all under the shadow of the executioner's blade awaiting him back home.  Along the way, he also recounts his storied rise from humble origins into the Virgin Queen's favor and court-and ultimately her bed. This powerful and action packed novel breathes life into the most dazzling yet most enigmatic of Elizabethans.
