Baldacci may not be a literary stylist, but he really knows how to spin a yarn, and with McLarty he gets a narrator who adds emotional depth to his characters without slowing down the breathless pace of his prose. McLarty uses his distinctive, almost avuncular delivery to excellent purpose in this action-packed thriller that finds the Camel Club members attacked by three tough customers seeking revenge... Aged baritones ofer no great challenge to McLarty's talent, yet his subtle shifts are admirable, from the toughtful, slightly rough-edged Stone to the rougher-edged Bagger to Gray's sneeringly perfect locution. But his art becomes more apparent as he effectively captures the voices of Annabelle, Finn and a gallery of other characters, including a bitter elderly Russan woman and a world-weary Irish-American man, providing them all a dimension not always on the page.

When she lifted her gray eyes to him, Ace saw the confusion, the uncertainty, in their depths, and he felt compassion for her. Did she think he was going to be rough with her, the way Gibb probably was in bed? He would have to go slow with her, he thought, sitting down on the edge of the mattress. When she didn't shrink away from him, he lifted his hand and gently stroked it over the softness of her hair, then lifted a curl and brushed his lips "You smell like my mother's rose garden,' he said softly."And you look like a rose. Your cheeks are" like pink blossoms and your lips are like red petals" He trailed a finger around her lips, then slowly loweredhis head and settled his lips on hers. He meant the kiss to be a light one, to calm any fears shemight have. But when he was met with eager passion, hislips took fire and his mouth moved over hers with matchingheat.

Terrified for their lives, suspicious of each other, and armed only with their own wits and guile, they must join forces in a nightmare cycle of hunt-and-kill.

Robb's style is so edgy and raw that at times it's hard to believe that she is also best-selling romancer Nora Roberts. Shortly after wealthy older men with no known enemies start being poisoned, detective Eve Dallas determines that Julianna Dunne, a wily ex-con, is the perpetrator. The beautiful but chameleonlike murderess is using the killings to get to Eve, who had put her behind bars nearly a decade earlier. Eve's pursuit takes her back to her own traumatic roots, thus providing fans of the series with a more detailed de*ion of her horrendous childhood. In addition, Eve mentors her protege, Peabody, with gritty advice: "And when you step down there, you remember you're one bad bitch cop, and you drink blood for breakfast." Fourteenth in the futuristic romantic suspense series, this novel takes place as the lusty marriage of Eve and her husband, the fabulously wealthy Rourke, approaches the one-year mark.

Justine is a renowned photojournalist with an interest in architecture. Adam fled his English country mansion after an argument led to the death of his brother. Adam now lives in the desolate wasteland that is Namibia's coast, while Justine has retreated to brooding Paradine Park--which just happens to be Adam's ancestral home--after the devastating loss of her beloved elder brother in a fire. The resulting hauntingly elegant tale of a doomed love between two lost souls is rife with Eastern mysticism and concepts of destiny, reincarnation, and redemption. But readers of traditional romance, be warned: Mostert's novel of suspense features palpably evil characters who wantonly destroy baby animals, and there is no blissful union at the tale's conclusion--although happiness together in another life is clearly indicated.

In the recent war in Iraq, the 7th Armored Brigade—bearers of the Desert Rats insignia—was engaged in some of the fiercest early fighting and ultimately took Basra for the Allies. The war in Iraq revived public focus on the Desert Rats, whose famous battles of World War II helped turn the tide of German dominance. After World War II the Desert Rats reemerged as part of the NATO forces during the Cold War years, and participated in major deployments in the 1991 Gulf War, Bosnia, and Kosovo. This gripping history draws heavily upon the drama of first-hand accounts to tell the story of a seminal brigade in military history.

In this literary tour de force, novelist Arthur Golden enters a remote and shimmeringly exotic world. For the protagonist of this peerlessly observant first novel is Sayuri, one of Japan's most celebrated geisha, a woman who is both performer and courtesan, slave and goddess. We follow Sayuri from her childhood in an impoverished fishing village, where in 1929, she is sold to a representative of a geisha house, who is drawn by the child's unusual blue-grey eyes. From there she is taken to Gion, the pleasure district of Kyoto. She is nine years old. In the years that follow, as she works to pay back the price of her purchase, Sayuri will be schooled in music and dance, learn to apply the geisha's elaborate makeup, wear elaborate kimono, and care for a coiffure so fragile that it requires a special pillow. She will also acquire a magnanimous tutor and a venomous rival. Surviving the intrigues of her trade and the upheavals of war, the resourceful Sayuri is a romantic heroine on the order of Jane Eyre and

Beware, the Dead are coming back! This is a unique and fascinating collection of early mummy stories that helped to establish the chilling concept of the Dead returning to life as a potent sub-genre of horror fiction. The main feature on the mummy bill, The Jewel of the Seven Stars by Bram Stoker, is generally regarded as his best work after Dracula. A weird mixture of adventure, the supernatural and science fiction is found in Jane Webb's The Mummy, a tale written in 1827 but set in 2126. Some Words with a Mummy is by the great horror writer Edgar Allen Poe. Arthur Conan Doyle's The Ring of Thoth is the classic mummy tale and was the basis for the 1932 movie 'The Mummy' starring Boris Karloff and, indeed most mummy films ever since. Lot 249, another Doyle chiller, completes this collection, which is guaranteed to entertain and possibly prompt a nightmare.
