Reporter Jane Ryland is tracking down a candidate’s secret mistress

just days before a pivotal Senate election. Detective Jake Brogan is investigating a possible serial killer that may be hunting down Boston’s young women under the city’s bridges.

Patrick Taylor’s devoted readers know Doctor Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly as a pugnacious general practitioner

in the quaint Irish village of Ballybucklebo. Now Taylor turns back the clock to give us a portrait of the young Fingal—and show us the pivotal events that shaped the man he would become.

In the 1930s, fresh from a stint in the Royal Navy Reserve, and against the wishes of his disapproving father, Fingal O’Reilly goes to Dublin to study medicine. Fingal and his fellow aspiring doctors face the arduous demands of Trinity College and Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital. The hours are long and the cases challenging, but Fingal manages to fi nd time

to box and play rugby—and to romance a fetching, gray-eyed nurse named Kitty O’Hallorhan.

Dublin is a city of slums and tenements, where brutal poverty breeds diseases that the limited medical knowledge of the time is often ill-equipped to handle. His teachers warn Fingal not to become too attached to his patients, but can he truly harden himself to the suffering he sees all around him—or can he fi nd a way to care for his patients without breaking his heart?

A Dublin Student Doctor is a moving, deeply human story that will touch longtime fans as well as readers who are meeting Doctor Fingal O’Reilly for the very fi rst time.

JACK MCCLURE IS NO STRANGER TO TROUBLE.From his street-savvy education on the mean streets of Washington, DC to his military service and operations with ATF and DoD, danger has never been too far away. But ever since Jack McClure saved the life of Alli Carson, the fi rst daughter, he’s discovered a whole new breed of enemy. These heartless wielders of power do not make headlines. They strike fast and silent, and leave no trace, manipulating foreign affairs from the shadows. And now Jack McClure has become their number one target.

In Father Night, a tidal wave of reform is sweeping across the Middle East. Up for grabs are major seats of political power, and at the center of it all are two men, giants of the vast criminal underworld. Their power knows no bounds. Their war knows no end. One is known as Dadya Gourdiev, the other is an underworld mystery, known only as the Syrian. But hiding in the shadows is a man history might have forsaken, but whose evil is still very much alive...a man known only by the legend Father Night.

ERIC VAN LUSTBADER is the author of many New York Times bestselling thrillers, including the fi rst two Jack McClure books, First Daughter and Last Snow. Lustbader was chosen by Robert Ludlum’s estate to continue the Jason Bourne series, and his Jason Bourne novels include The Bourne Legacy and The Bourne Betrayal. Lustbader and his wife live in New York City and in Long Island.

Rogue Warrior: Blood LiesRICHARD MARCINKO and JIM DeFELICE

From “the creator of SEAL Team 6.” —FOX BUSINESS NEWS

When the daughter of a retired Navy SEAL is kidnapped and held for ransom in Mexico, Rogue Warrior Richard

Marcinko and his band of Red Cell International warriors head south of the border to rescue her. Along the way, they encounter drug dealers and human traffickers, break into a cartel kingpin’s mansion, and do battle with a hundred of the meanest banditos since Pancho Villa. And just for good measure, Marcinko uncovers a secret Hezbollah camp funded by the Iranian government and sheltered by the drug lords.

Marcinko and company fend off the bad guys, saving a small border town in a scene reminiscent of the climax of The Magnificent Seven.

But the founder of SEAL Team 6 finds his toughest opponent may actually be the woman he’s come to rescue. And then there’s the question of who really sent Dick to find her.…

Rogue Warrior: Blood Lies is a stunning new installment from writing team Richard Marcinko and Jim DeFelice.

“[T]hemostcolorful,hell-raising,bomb-throwingex-SEALcommander of them all.” —PLAYBOY

“TheappealofthisseriesliesinMarcinko’ssenseofhumormixedwith traditional thriller elements, creating a laugh-out-loud read that somehow melds the wackiness of Janet Evanovich with a military thriller á la Clancy.” —BOOKLIST

“ The man who pioneered the kind of special ops unit that took down bin Laden.” —CNN

“ Founder of the elite ‘SEAL Team 6’…that many believe led the assault on bin Laden’s compound.” —THE WASHINGTON POST

RICHARD MARCINKO is a living, breathing hero—he was honored with the Silver Star and four bronze stars for valor, along with two Navy Commendation medals. After serving in Vietnam, he started and commanded SEAL Team 6, the Navy’s first counterterrorist group, and Red Cell, a high-level antiterrorist unit whose exploits, fictionalized for security and legal reasons, have formed the basis of his novels. Besides an active speaking and consulting calendar, Marcinko keeps his hand in the field as the president of a private international security company. He lives in Warrenton, Virginia.

For centuries, the Golden Dawn, an ancient sect of Zoroastrians, has guarded an ancient secret: the identity of a true leader fated to appear before the End Times.

Aztec RevengeGARY JENNINGS AND JUNIUS PODRUG

ContinuingthefascinatinghistoryofMexicothatbeganin the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Aztec

Gary Jennings’s New York Times bestselling Aztec series once again takes us to a time after a handful of Spanish

conquistadores had conquered an empire and the new masters treated millions of “indios” as work animals and took their women to satisfy their own lust. As we follow the galloping adventures of Juan the Lépero, the splendor and excitement of a vanished civilization comes alive again.

Juan was a “mestizo,” the mixture of Spanish and Indio blood that was called a blood taint and doomed whoever bore it to a short, violent life on the streets as a lépero beggar. But Juan had a special gift for handling horses and an ability to defend himself at a time when a man’s best friends were his horse and his sword. Only El Mestizo, the half-caste son of the conqueror Cortés, knew the secret of Juan’s birth and that the blood of kings flowed in the young beggar.

Fleeing after killing a man beating a horse, Juan sets out on a series of adventures as a highwayman, horse thief, and ultimately in the guise of a wealthy caballero who is wined and dined by the richest and most powerful people in the colony—people who didn’t realize that some of them had once stared down the barrel of Juan’s pistola as he took their gold.

A reign of terror by the viceroy is triggered when a plot to seize the colony is discovered and Juan must face the ultimate challenge of getting the man who saved his own life out of the hands of Inquisition torturers.

Fighting, conniving, and loving in a colorful era of flashing swords and brave hearts, Juan must use all the tricks he learned as a lépero and bandido to unlock the secret of his own heritage.

Praise for Aztec Rage:

The Gemini VirusWIL MARA

It starts with a sneeze. It kills in four days. There is no cure

Bob Easton thinks he has a cold. Before he dies in agony, four days later, he infects dozens of people. Local health agencies

become quickly overwhelmed by the sick and dying and beg the CDC for help. Dr. Michael Beck and Cara Porter, a member of the Epidemic Intelligence Service, race to identify the deadly bug. They can’t cure it until they know what it is.

Dennis and Andi Jensen and their children are terrified. Schools and offices close. Fresh food disappears from store shelves. Three of their children’s friends die. Their neighbors are dying or running away, fleeing the unstoppable infection. Desperate, the Jensens join the exodus, making a nightmarish journey to their isolated mountain cabin along empty roads, through abandoned towns, past looted shopping malls.

The superbug—and the panic—quickly spreads beyond America’s borders. On a packed plane, someone coughs— and at their destination, the pilots are told, “you can’t land here.” U.S. military bases are quarantined. Yet the virus continues to spread. Some believe the plague is man-made. Others see it as a sign of the end-times.

In the lab, Cara Porter makes a potentially fatal mistake. In the mountains, Andi Jensen tells her husband that she doesn’t feel well.

The world is running out of time.

The Witch of BabylonD. J. McINTOSH

An international treasure-hunting thriller of lost relics, ancient sorcery, and alchemy set against the backdrop of recent history in Iraq

Out of the searing heat and sandstorms of Baghdad’s infamous summer of 2003 comes The Witch of Babylon, a

gripping tale rooted in ancient Mesopotamian lore and its little-known but profound significance for the world.

John Madison is a Turkish-American art dealer raised by his much older brother, Samuel, a respected Mesopotamian scholar. Caught between Samuel’s obsession with saving a priceless relic looted from Iraq’s national museum and a deadly game of revenge staged by his childhood friend, John must solve a puzzle to find the link between a modern-day witch and an ancient one.

Aided by Tomas, an archaeologist, and Ari, an Iraqi photo- journalist—two men with their own secrets to hide—John races against time to decipher a biblical prophecy that leads to the dark history behind the science of alchemy: Is the notion of turning lead into gold possible after all?

Against his will, John returns to Iraq, where a fabulous treasure trove awaits discovery and where the truth behind a famous story the world believes to be a myth is finally revealed.

International thriller-writing sensation D. J. McIntosh makes her American debut with The Witch of Babylon.

“ Ancient history and alchemy combine to terrorize us in this stunning historical thriller. A terrific read.”

—LOUISE PENNY, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BURY YOUR DEAD

“ Soaked in the blood of centuries, yet as fresh as tomorrow’s headlines. D. J. McIntosh is articulate, literate, and scary.”

—ALAN BRADLEY, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE SWEETNESS AT

THE BOTTOM OF THE PIE

“ The Witch of Babylonisatonceacomplexart-historymysterycentered on biblical scholarship, a breath-stealing thriller set in the early months of the Iraq invasion, and an intellectual explorationoflinksbetweenMesopotamianmythsand European alchemical processes.” —MYSTERY WRITERS INK

D. J. MCINTOSH’s The Witch of Babylon has been sold in nineteen countries. The book was short-listed for the Crime Writers Association (U.K.) Debut Dagger Award and won a Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis Award for best unpublished novel. McIntosh is a member of the Canadian Society for Mesopotamian Studies. She is a strong supporter of Reporters Without Borders and the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Black ThunderAIMÉE & DAVID THURLO

Ella Clah hunts a serial killer on the Navajo reservation

A construction crew found the first body. The cops found three more—on both sides of the border of the Navajo reservation.

Because some of the bodies were buried outside the rez, Navajo Police Special Investigator Ella Clah and her team must work a delicate joint investigation with the New Mexico police. Identifying the dead isn’t easy—some had been buried for years—and the cases are stone cold. Then one of the bodies turns out to be that of a missing man who was believed to have embezzled funds from his construction firm…and suspicions focus on the man’s partner.

With no obvious links between any of the corpses and the anniversary of their deaths fast approaching, Ella feels frustrated. Unless she and her team can find what connects these victims, someone else may soon be killed. Ella’s concentration is battered by worries about her teenage daughter, who has been skipping school, and her mother, who is cooking up a storm, a sure sign that trouble is brewing in the household.

Black Thunder, an Ella Clah novel, is a police procedural mystery that should appeal to all readers but especially fans of Tony Hillerman and J. A. Jance.

“ThebookmixesstraightforwardpoliceproceduralwithTonyHillerman–styleexplorationofthecultureoftheNavajo.EllaClahcontinues to be a compelling character, and the story here, which involves a possible serial killer, should keep readers on their toes until the final pages.” —BOOKLIST ON BLACK THUNDER

“ Clah is always good company, on and off the reservation.”—THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Praise for Earthway:

“ An unusually tense mystery.” —KIRKUS REVIEWS

“ Ella is compelling as a highly skilled officer of the law dealing with modern vs. traditionalist issues on the reservation.”

—RT BOOK REVIEWS

AIMÉE and DAVID THURLO have written more than fifteen Ella Clah novels in addition to numerous romantic suspense novels and other mysteries. David was raised on the Navajo reservation and taught school there for many years. Aimée was born in Cuba. The Thurlos live in Corrales, New Mexico.

Margaret Truman's Experiment in MurderA Capital Crimes Novel

DONAL BAIN

ThenextinstallmentintheNew York Times bestselling Capital Crimes series

When a Washington psychiatrist is found dead in his office, Mackenzie Smith is called in to defend one of his patients

who has become a suspect. Then information emerges that links the slain shrink to a highly secret CIA mind control project.

A programmed assassin strikes and kills the wildly popular front-runner in the presidential race. As a result of the assassination, the other government agencies have become aware of the rogue CIA program. They want to infiltrate it, and Mac Smith’s client, the accused killer, seems to be their perfect spy.

But the assassin is programmed to kill anyone who threatens him or his organization, which includes Mac and his wife, Annabel….

Margaret Truman thrills again with Experiment in Murder, the riveting next installment in her Capital Crimes series.

“ Truman ‘knows the forks’ in the nation’s capital and how to pitchfork her readers into a web of murder and detection.”

—THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

“ Truman has produced another knowing look at Washington politics. She, of all people, should know her characters well, and she draws them with style.”

—THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS ON MURDER AT UNION STATION

“ Truman can write suspense with the best of them.” —LARRY KING

“ A dazzling series.” —THE ATLANTIC JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION

MARGARET TRUMAN won faithful readers with her works of biography and fiction, particularly her Capital Crimes mysteries.

Talking to the DeadGEORGE NOORY and ROSEMARY ELLEN GUILEY

Talking to the Deadexploresvariedwaystoconnect to the spiritual realm

Throughout history, people have sought ways to contact the dead and spirits. Such experiences challenge beliefs and

often set people on a path of deeper exploration, looking for validation—and ways to have controlled, direct contact. Do spirit communication devices really work? What are the prospects of someday being able to pick up a cell phone or sit in front of a webcam and talk to the Other Side? While proof of contact is still elusive, there is an abundance of tantalizing evidence and experience to inspire people.

For the past century, inventors have been inspired by the spirits themselves to create telephone, video, radio, and computers to attempt real-time, two-way communication with the dead and other entities.

Talking to the Dead explores the colorful history and personalities behind spirit communications, weaving together spirituality, metaphysics, science, and technology. It examines the idea that new technology can connect to the ancient and universal wisdom of the “music of the spheres”; that contact with the spirit realms can be made through the vibrations of sound.

GEORGE NOORY is the host of America’s top overnight radio show, Coast to Coast AM, which is broadcast on 545 radio stations and streamed over the internet to millions of listeners nightly. Noory was born in Detroit and now resides in St. Louis and Los Angeles. He spent nine years in the United States Naval Reserve and was awarded the Navy Achievement Award.

Target LancerMAX ALLAN COLLINS

Anexplosivenovelthatuncoversnewfactsaboutthedeadly conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy

Long before November 22, 1963, Nathan Heller, “P.I. to the Stars,” knows that a conspiracy is in the works. Several years

earlier, Heller had been involved with the Kennedys, the Mob, and the CIA in the early stages of a plan to assassinate Fidel Castro. Shortly after, Heller’s Mafia contact is murdered.

After being interrogated by gangsters and contacted by U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy, Heller realizes that he may be the one person who can prevent a devastating political assassination. Only he knows all the players; only he knows why a web of conspirators has targeted the man known to the Secret Service as “Lancer,” John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Rigorously researched, Max Allan Collins’s Target Lancer is far more truth than fiction.

Praise for Bye Bye, Baby:

“ A whirlwind tour of the story surrounding Marilyn Monroe’s untimely demise as it might have been covered in the garish pages of Confidential magazine, or by TMZ for that matter, with more grit thanGeorgeBaxt’sHollywoodmysteries.” —LIBRARY JOURNAL

“ Collins convincingly portrays the real-life players in the drama, who include Jimmy Hoffa and Frank Sinatra. Readers with a taste for hard-boiled roman à clef will hope that more Heller is in the offing.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

“ A Hollywood novel that’s more interesting than the true story—if, in fact, it’s not what really happened anyway. Collins’s twist on the American mystery simply can’t be put down.” —RT BOOK REVIEWS

MAX ALLAN COLLINS is the bestselling author of the graphic novel Road to Perdition, the basis for the hit film starring Tom Hanks. He has won two Shamus Awards for previous Nathan Heller novels. His most recent Heller mystery was Bye Bye, Baby. He lives in Muscatine, Iowa.

The Forest LairdA Tale of William Wallace

JACK WHYTE

The Forest Laird is the first novel in Whyte’s trilogy The Guardians, chronicling the tales of the beloved men who fought and died to help Scotland achieve her freedom

In the predawn hours of August 24, 1305, in London’s Smithfield Prison, the outlaw William Wallace—hero of all the Scots and

deadly enemy of King Edward of England—sits awaiting the dawn, when he is to be hanged and then drawn and quartered. This brutal sundering of his body is the revenge of the English. Wallace is visited by a Scottish priest who has come to hear his last confession, a priest who knows Wallace like a brother. Wallace’s confession—the tale that follows—is all the more remarkable because it comes from real life.

We follow Wallace through his many lives—as outlaw and fugitive, hero and patriot, rebel and kingmaker. His exploits and escapades, desperate struggles and victorious campaigns are all here, as are the high ideals and fierce patriotism that drove him to abandon the people he loved to save his country.

William Wallace, the first heroic figure from the Scottish Wars of Independence and a man whose fame has reached far beyond his homeland, served as a subject for the Academy Award–winning film Braveheart. In The Forest Laird, Jack Whyte’s masterful storytelling breathes life into Wallace’s tale, giving readers an amazing character study of the man who helped shape Scotland’s future.

Praise for Jack Whyte:

“ From the building blocks of history and the mortar of reality, he’s built Arthur’s world, and showed us the bone beneath the flesh of legend.” —DIANA GABALDON ON THE CAMULOD CHRONICLES

“ Whyte, a master at painting pictures on an epic-sized canvas, pulls the reader into the story with his usual deft combination of historical drama and old-fashioned adventure.” —BOOKLIST

“ Whyte’s Camulod series is distinctive, particularly in the rendering of its leading players and the residual Roman influences that survived in Britain during the Dark Ages.” —THE WASHINGTON POST

JACK WHYTE was born and raised in Scotland and has lived in Canada since 1967. He has been an actor, orator, singer, and poet at various stages of his life, and was awarded an honorary doctorate of letters for his contribution to Canadian popular fiction. Whyte is the author of the internationally bestselling Dream of Eagles series and the Templar trilogy. He lives in Kelowna, British Columbia.

Silver CrossB. KENT ANDERSON

“ Cold Glory bristles with great characters, fascinating research, and a story that will propel you to the last page with the velocity of a hollow-point bullet.”

—GAYLE LYNDS, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF SPIES

History professor Nick Journey and federal agent Meg Tolman return in Silver Cross, the thrilling sequel to B. Kent Anderson’s

Cold Glory.

When her friend is murdered, Tolman rushes to North Carolina to investigate. She finds a vast conspiracy hanging on a letter from Napoleon III to Confederate president Jefferson Davis, pledging French aid to the Confederacy during the Civil War in return for the “Silver Cross.” The letter was lost when Confederate spy Rose Greenhow drowned just yards from Confederate soil.

Tolman asks history professor Nick Journey for his help, and soon the two are following a treasure map deep into the west Texas desert. Hot on their trail are others desperately trying to cover up the existence of the Silver Cross, including Ann Gray, a freelance assassin gone rogue, and her former employers, a secretive group known only as the Associates.

As horrifying acts of domestic terrorism erupt throughout the country, Journey and Tolman seek an answer to the 150-year-old riddle before it’s too late.

Praise for Cold Glory:

“ This clever first in a new series…should appeal to fans of historical conspiracy thrillers.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

“ In a tale rife with intrigue and suspicion, Cold Glory has something for conspiracy theorists, history buffs, Civil War aficionados, and mystery readers alike, and is a fast-paced page-turner down to the final twist.” —SUSPENSE MAGAZINE

“ Kept me totally absorbed. Nicely drawn characters with real personal issues, a truckload of action, a goodly number of surprises, and a satisfying ending.”

—DAVID HAGBERG, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CABAL

“ A genuinely unique take on the tectonic and dangerous forces that lie beneath the American landscape, written by a man in full command of the page. Never vulgar, always poised, often intellectually and historically surprising, Cold Glory is a deeply satisfying read.”

—DAVID STONE, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF

THE ECHELON VENDETTA

Dinosaur ThunderJAMES F. DAVID

A terrifying thriller from the Footprints of Thunder series

Eighteen years ago, the prehistoric past collided with the present as time itself underwent a tremendous disruption,

transporting huge swaths of the Cretaceous period into the twentieth century. Neighborhoods, towns, and cities were replaced by dense primeval jungles and modern humanity suddenly found itself sharing the world with fierce dinosaurs. In the end, desperate measures were taken to halt the disruptions and the crisis appeared to be over.

Until now.

New dinosaurs begin to appear, rampaging through cities. A secret mission to the Moon discovers a living Tyrannosaurus Rex trapped in an alternate timeline. As time begins to unravel once more, Nick Paulson, director of the Office of Security Science, finds a time passage to the Cretaceous period where humans, ripped from the comforts of the twenty-first century, are barely surviving in the past. Led by a cultlike religious leader, these survivors are at war with another sentient species descended from dinosaurs.

As the asteroid that ends the reign of dinosaurs rushes toward Earth, Nick and his allies must survive a war between species and save the future as we know it.

Dinosaur Thunder is a terrifying, futuristic thriller in the tradition of Michael Crichton and Douglas Preston.

Praise for Footprints of Thunder:

“ Jurassic Park enters The Twilight Zone.” —SAN FRANCISO EXAMINER

“ [A] suspenseful, fantastic first novel.” —LIBRARY JOURNAL

“ Footprints of Thunder kept me up past dawn, red-eyed and riveted. A true roller-coaster of a read.”
