The Last Mandarin - L. Penny An electrifying study of absolute power and voracious greed, political terror, and personal conviction. But it is also an intimate examination of choice, of sacrifice, of memory and myths, both cultural and personal. It is the story of a mother and daughter, as well as a compelling international thriller about the precarious balance of power across the world, and within a family... and what happens when both break down. 5/19: Canon - P. Lewis Two unlikely heroes embark on quests to win God’s favor in this outrageously entertaining, profoundly heartfelt novel that announces an ingenious new voice. Ironwood - M. Connelly Detective Sergeant Stilwell knows that his posting on Catalina Island is no paradise, but to most residents, it seems blissfully separated - by twenty-two miles of ocean - from the troubles of Los Angeles County. But now a threat is coming to his safe haven. The Shippers - K. Center Shipboard antics abound in this witty, heart-tugging, childhood-friends-to-lovers romance, as JoJo and Cooper team up, fake flirt, slow dance, share a cabin, sing duets, get jealous, answer long-held questions, and finally, at last, discover truths about each other that will change everything. 5/26: Babylon, South Dakota - T. Lin A tantalizing, American West saga about a Chinese American family trying to survive on their Dakota farm as a powerful, mysterious, and morally dubious military secret shapes their lives. The Divorce - F. McFadden A razor-sharp, subversive thriller where love curdles into vengeance. Naomi fixates on her husband's new girlfriend. What begins as cynical curiosity soon twists into obsession, and then into something far darker. As Naomi uncovers secrets she never imagined, she realizes her own life may be in danger.
