Robert B. Parker's Lullaby, by Ace Atkins
Spenser takes up a seemingly open and closed cold case at the behest of a street-wise 16 year old girl, who believes her mother's murderers went free. As Spenser digs deeper into the mystery, he finds a much more dangerous and complex mystery than he bargained for.
Dorchester Terrace, by Anne Perry
Anne Perry's acclaimed Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels have made London's exclusive world of wealth and power an addictive literary destination for readers everywhere. This new masterpiece, a haunting story of love and treason, invites us not only into the secret places of Britain's power but also into the innermost sanctums of the fin de siècle Austro-Hungarian Empire.
How bad have things gotten? How did we get stuck in what now can only be called
a depression? And above all, how do we free ourselves? Krugman pursues these
questions with his characteristic lucidity and insight. He has a powerful
message for anyone who has suffered over these past four years—a quick, strong
recovery is just one step away, if our leaders can find the "intellectual
clarity and political will" to end this depression now.
