Two
Kinds of Truth: Michael Connelly
Harry Bosch, exiled from the LAPD, is working cold cases
for the San Fernando Police Department when all hands
are called out to a local drugstore, where two
pharmacists have been murdered in a robbery. Bosch and
the tiny town's three-person detective squad sift
through the clues, which lead into the dangerous,
big-business world of prescription drug abuse. To get to
the people at the top, Bosch must risk everything and go
undercover in the shadowy world of organized pill mills.
Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch's days with the LAPD
comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer
claims Harry framed him and seems to have new evidence
to prove it. Bosch left the LAPD on bad terms, so his
former colleagues are not keen on protecting his
reputation. But if this conviction is overturned, every
case Bosch ever worked will be called into question. As
usual, he must fend for himself as he tries to clear his
name and keep a clever killer in prison.

Widows:
Lynda La Plante
Facing life alone, they turned to crime together. Dolly
Rawlins, Linda Pirelli and Shirley Miller are left
devastated when their husbands are killed in a security
van heist that goes disastrously wrong. When Dolly
discovers her husband's bank deposit box containing a
gun, money and detailed plans for the hijack, she has
three options. She could hand over the ledgers to the
Detective. She could hand them over to the thugs who
want to take over Harry's turf. Or, she and the other
widows could finish the job their husbands started. As
they rehearse the raid, the women discover that Harry's
plan required four people and recruit hooker Bella
O'Reilly. But only three bodies were discovered in the
carnage of the original heist - so who was the fourth
man, and where is he now?

best friend and business partner, Gwyn Weaver, a woman
struggling to overcome her own demons. After four years,
he thinks he might finally be ready to confess his
feelings, come what may. But his plans are derailed when
he wakes up in bed with a dead woman - her blood on his
hands and no recollection of how he got there. Whoever
is trying to frame Thorne is about to lead him down the
rabbit hole of his past, something he thought he had
outran long ago. Thorne must figure out who has been
digging into his secrets, how much they know, and how
far they will go to bring him down.

The
God Gene: F. Paul Wilson
Rick's brother, Keith, a prominent zoologist at NYU,
walks out of his office one day and disappears. The only
clue they have are his brother's book, which mentions
"the God Gene." A million or so years ago, a
gene designated hsa-mir-3998 appeared as if by magic
from the junk DNA of the hominids who eventually evolved
into Homo sapiens. It became a key player in brain
development - specifically creativity - and laymen
started calling it "the God Gene." Keith had
been tracking this gene through the evolutionary tree,
and was excited by an odd blue-eyed primate he brought
back from East Africa. But immediately after running the
creature's genetic code, he destroyed all the results
and vanished. Rick and Laura's search takes them to an
uncharted island in the Mozambique Channel, home of the
dapis - blue-eyed primates whose DNA hides a
world-shattering secret.
