The Seven Wonders (Roma Sub Rosa #13)
by Steven SaylorAn enthralling prequel to his bestselling Roma Sub Rosa series of mysteries set in the Ancient World, Steven Saylor takes readers back to the younger days of Gordianus the Finder. The year is 92BC and Gordianus has just turned eighteen and is about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime: a far-flung journey to see the Seven Wonders of the World.Gordianus is not yet called 'The Finder' - that title belongs to his father, who we meet in these pages. But at each of the Seven Wonders, the wide-eyed Roman encounters a mystery to challenge his powers of deduction. Here is a portrait of a master sleuth in the making, the earliest exploits of the man who will become the most sought-after investigator in Rome. Accompanying Gordianus on this travels is his tutor, Antipater of Sidon, the world's most celebrated poet. Together, teacher and pupil journey to the fabled cities of Greece and Asia Minor, and then on to Babylon and Egypt. They attend the Olympic Games, take part in exotic festivals, and marvel at the most spectacular constructions ever devised by mankind.Praise for Steven Saylor:'Saylor expertly weaves the true history of Rome with the lives and loves of its fictional citizens.' Daily Express'Saylor's scholarship is breathtaking and his writing enthrals' Ruth Rendell'With the scalpel-like deftness of a Hollywood director, Saylor puts his finger on the very essence of Roman history.' Times Literary Supplement'Readers will find his work wonderfully (and gracefully) researched... this is entertainment of the first order.' Washington Post
Seven-Year Witch (Witch Way Librarian Mysteries #2)
by Angela M. SandersFinding your feet in a new job isn&’t always easy. That goes double for Josie Way, who&’s settling in as Wilfred, Oregon&’s, new librarian—and has just discovered she&’s a witch. But will her fledgling powers be enough to save her from a spell of murder? While Josie develops her witchcraft with the help of letters left by her grandmother, there are other changes happening in her new hometown. A retreat center is being built at the old mill site, and rumor has it that the location is cursed. That piques Josie&’s interest almost as much as Sam Wilfred, handsome FBI agent and descendent of the town&’s founder . . . When Sam&’s soon-to-be ex-wife, Fiona, goes missing at the same time that a bloodied weapon is found, Josie enlists her witchy insight, and her cat familiar, to clear Sam&’s name. But then the mill project&’s architect is found dead, and it&’s clear that someone has been drawing up a vicious plan. Now Josie will have to divine her way out of fatal mischief, before this deadly trouble turns double . . . Praise for Angela M. Sanders&’ Bait and Witch &“Balances paranormal whimsy and small-town charm . . . it&’s a delight to read about someone whose powers derive in part from stories and the feelings that readers attach to them. This is a fine debut that promises more bookish fun to come.&” —BookPage
Seven Years (Bibliomysteries #6)
by Peter RobinsonA gripping novella from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Inspector Banks Mysteries and a &“master of the art&” (TheBoston Globe). Retired Cambridge professor Donald Aitcheson loves scouring antiquarian bookshops for secondhand treasures—as much as he loathes the scribbled marginalia from their previous owners. But when he comes upon an inscription in a volume of Robert Browning&’s poetry, he&’s less irritated than disturbed. This wasn&’t once a gift to an unwitting woman. It was a threat—insidious, suggestively sick, and terribly intriguing. Now Aitcheson&’s imagination is running wild. Was it a sordid teacher-pupil affair that ended in betrayal? A scorned lover&’s first salvo in a campaign of terror? The taunt of an obsessive psychopath? Then again, it could be nothing more than a tasteless joke between friends. As his curiosity gets the better of him, Aitcheson can&’t resist playing detective. But when his investigation leads to a remote girls&’ boarding school in the Lincolnshire flatlands, and into the confidence of its headmistress, he soon discovers the consequences of reading between the lines. Praise for Peter Robinson &“Robinson is equally skilled at reflecting procedural details and treating his flesh-and-blood characters—despite their flaws—with compassion and humor.&” —The Miami Herald &“Robinson is good at producing ingenious mysteries and this one doesn&’t disappoint.&” —The Sunday Telegraph on Friend of the Devil

by Redridingteam A. Powell E. Preziosi Ilyan Kei LavanwayIn un futuro vicino, le Nazioni Unite sono diventate il nuovo braccio armato del Nuovo Ordine del Mondo. Ciò che un tempo erano gli Stati Uniti d'America è stato assorbito nel Superstato del Nord America che include Canada e America Centrale. Contro ogni indicibile probabilità, gli amanti della libertà si sono radunati e hanno costruito le Città di Zion. Ci sono voluti decenni per erigere dozzine di Città di Zion posizionate strategicamente in tutto l'Emisfero Ovest. La maggior parte sono ancora in costruzione, facendo fronte a continue opposizioni delle forze esterne. Piccole bande di Cristiani che si auto governarono sono migrate, per lo più a piedi, alla ricerca di rifugi in queste città. Gracie è una giovane moglie che brama per l'innocenza rinnovata, e Abiathar vorrebbe assicurargliela. Il loro viaggio è stato faticoso ma non beato. Fai esperienza del culmine del loro viaggio. Lascia che la tua fede si rafforzi, mentre questa giovane coppia sistema la propria vita in una nuova città, mentre un'antica profezia si avvera. Dai un'occhiata alle tribolazioni e ai miracoli che i futuri pionieri si possono aspettare mentre vivi indirettamente la vita di questa giovane famiglia.

The Seventh: A Parker Novel
by Richard StarkParker, the ruthless antihero of Richard Stark's eponymous mystery novels, is one of the most unforgettable characters in hardboiled noir. Lauded by critics for his taut realism, unapologetic amorality, and razor-sharp prose style--and adored by fans who turn each intoxicating page with increasing urgency--Stark is a master of crime writing, his books as influential as any in the genre. The University of Chicago Press has embarked on a project to return the early volumes of this series to print for a new generation of readers to discover--and become addicted to. This season's offerings include volumes 7-9 in the series: The Seventh, The Handle, and The Rare Coin Score. In The Seventh, the heist of a college football game goes bad, and the take is stolen by a crazed, violent amateur. Parker must outrun the cops--and the killer--to retrieve his cash. In The Handle, Parker is enlisted by the mob to knock off an island casino guarded by speedboats and heavies, forty miles from the Texas coast. The Rare Coin Score features the first appearance of Claire, who will steal Parker's heister's heart--while together they steal two million dollars of rare coins. "Parker ... lumbers through the pages of Richard Stark's noir novels scattering dead bodies like peanut shells. ... In a complex world [he] makes things simple."--William Grimes,New York Times. "Whatever Stark writes, I read. He's a stylist, a pro, and I thoroughly enjoy his attitude." --Elmore Leonard. "Westlake knows precisely how to grab a reader, draw him or her into the story, and then slowly tighten his grip until escape is impossible."--Washington Post Book World. "Donald Westlake's Parker novels are among the small number of books I read over and over. Forget all that crap you've been telling yourself about War and Peace and Proust--these are the books you'll want on that desert island."--Lawrence Block. Also available from the University of Chicago Press: The Hunter, The Man with the Getaway Face, The Outfit, The Mourner, The Jugger, The Score.
