Chasing
the Night: Iris Johansen
A CIA agent's two-year-old child was stolen in the night
as a brutal act of vengeance. Now, eight years later,
this torment is something Catherine Ling awakens to
every day. Her friends, family, and colleagues tell her
to let go, move on, accept that her son is never coming
back. But she can't. Catherine needs to find someone as
driven and obsessed as she is to help her - and that
person is Eve Duncan. She knows that Eve shares her
nightmare, since closure is also something that eludes
Eve after the disappearance of her daughter Bonnie. Now,
Eve must take her talents as a forensic sculptor to
another level, using age progression as a way to unite
Catherine with her child. As Eve gets drawn deeper into
Catherine's horror, she must face looming demons of her
own.

The
Drowning God: James Kendley
To uncover modern Japan's darkest, deadliest secret, one
man must face a living nightmare from his childhood.
Few villagers are happy when Detective Tohru Takuda
returns to his hometown to investigate a string of
suspicious disappearances. Even the local police chief
tries to shut him out from the case. For behind the
conspiracy lurks a monstrous living relic of Japan's
pagan history: the Kappa. Protected long ago by a
horrible pact with local farmers - and now by coldly
calculating corporate interests - the Kappa drains the
valley's lifeblood, one villager at a time. As the body
count rises, Takuda must try to end the Drowning God's
centuries-long reign of terror, and failure means death
- or worse.

The
Cry of the Halidon: Robert Ludlum
Alex McAuliff has received an offer he can't refuse: two
million dollars for a geological survey of Jamaica. All
Dunstone Limited requires is his time, his expertise,
and his absolute secrecy. No one - not even McAuliff's
handpicked team - can know of Dunstone's involvement.
But British Intelligence is aware of the deal, and
they've let Alex in on a secret of their own: The last
survey team Dunstone dispatched to Jamaica vanished
without a trace. Now it's too late to turn back. Alex
already knows about Dunstone - which means he knows too
much. From the moment he lands in Jamaica, Alex is a
marked man. On an island paradise where a beautiful
woman might be a spy and every move could be his last,
Alex's only clue to survival is a single mysterious
word: Halidon.

Again: Tess Gerritsen
When Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical
examiner Maura Isles are summoned to a crime scene, they
find a killing worthy of the most ferocious beast -
right down to the claw marks on the corpse. But only the
most sinister human hands could have left renowned
big-game hunter and taxidermist Leon Gott gruesomely
displayed like the once-proud animals whose heads adorn
his walls. Did Gott unwittingly awaken a predator more
dangerous than any he's ever hunted? Maura fears that
this isn't the killer's first slaughter, and that it
won't be the last. After linking the crime to a series
of unsolved homicides in wilderness areas across the
country, she wonders if the answers might actually be
found in a remote corner of Africa.

now Jack Emery, Nikki's husband, has enlisted Ted, Joe,

BOLO Consultants have a prescription to cure that.
