Patricia Cornwell, author of Depraved Heart: A Scarpetta Novel

Dr. Kay Scarpetta is working a suspicious death scene in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when an emergency alert sounds on her phone. A video link lands in her text messages and seems to be from her computer genius niece Lucy. But how can it be? It’s clearly a surveillance film of Lucy taken almost 20 years ago. The diabolical presence behind what unfolds seems obvious --- but strangely, not to the FBI. Certainly that’s the message they send when they raid Lucy’s estate and begin building a case that could send her to prison for the rest of her life.

Week of June 27, 2016

Paperback releases for the week of June 27th include OUR SOULS AT NIGHT by Kent Haruf, a bittersweet yet inspiring story of a man and a woman who, in advanced age, come together to wrestle with the events of their lives and their hopes for the imminent future; Preston and Child's CRIMSON SHORE, in which a seemingly straightforward private case turns out to be much more complicated --- and sinister --- than Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast ever could have anticipated; GOLDEN AGE, the final volume of Jane Smiley's Last Hundred Years Trilogy that brings the Langdon family into our present times and beyond; and FIND A WAY, a riveting memoir from Diana Nyad in which she shares a spirited account of what it takes to face one’s fears, engage one’s passions and never ever give up.
