Beneath The Diamond Sky
by Christopher WaklingA group of adventurous backpackers wander off the beaten path and into a terrifying nightmare at the hands of political extremists. As "intriguing...fast-paced and nuanced" (Newsday) and "compulsively readable" (Booklist) as his acclaimed debut, Wakling's darkly suspenseful new novel takes its young thrill-seekers to the all-too-real edge of human experience. For Kate Cox and Ethan Hughes there's no turning back. They've traded in their London nine-to-fives and family obligations for the promise of adventure in the Himalayan foothills. Once there, they join up with a small band of Western travelers and a local guide to trek through the disputed territory of Kashmir-it's an official no-go zone, and the risk is exactly the appeal. But the adventure's deepest dangers are quickly realized when the hikers are kidnapped by Muslim militants. They're suddenly reduced to helpless hostages in a world beyond their control-at the mercy of violent extremists they can't understand and an unyielding ideology they can't hope to survive. As their prospect of escape from this world of shifting allegiances and unknowable rules diminishes, Kate and Ethan face the ultimate test of will and character: They must choose between love and survival. Chilling and electrifying, Beneath the Diamond Sky combines shrewd psychological insight with striking suspense. It is at once a moving tale of the risks of escapism, a terrifying literary adventure story,and a provocative political thriller precisely for our times. - Christopher Wakling is also the author of The Immortal Part.

by Don PendletonHere, in his most exciting outing to date, Joe Copp finds himself recovering from a three week bout of partial amnesia after a perp almost blew him away with his own gun. Though his doctors have assured the cobwebs would soon dissolve, a more serious problem has arisen: it seems that during the three lost weeks he married a lady who subsequently turned up dead in Los Angeles. Now the police are trying to pin the murder on her unsuspecting, short-term widower, Joe Copp. While being pursued by the L.A.P.D. and an unknown assailant, Copp's search for answers to what happened and why leads him to the Mammoth mountain resort in northern California, where his decidedly ill-fated "romance" apparently began. Copp in Shock takes Joe to the edge of insanity as he careens toward the lethal truth. It is his darkest hour, and also his finest triumph in a riveting story of a man at war with his own mind and those who would eliminate him.

The English Teacher
by Lily KingFifteen years ago Vida Avery arrived from Texas alone and pregnant at Fayer Academy. She has since become a fixture and one of the best English teachers Fayer has ever had. By living on campus, on an island off the New England coast, Vida has cocooned herself and her son, Peter, from the outside world and from an inside secret. For years she has lived in solitude and largely through the books she teaches, but when she accepts the impulsive marriage proposal of ardent widower Tom Belou, the prescribed life Vida had constructed is swiftly dismantled. Peter, however, welcomes the changes. Excited to move off campus, eager to have siblings at last, Peter anticipates a regular life with a "normal" family. But the Belou children are still grieving, and the memory of their recently deceased mother exerts a powerful hold on the house. As Vida begins teaching her signature book, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, a nineteenth-century tale of an ostracized woman and social injustice, its themes begin to echo eerily in her own life and Peter sees that the mother he perceived as indomitable is collapsing and it is up to him to help.
