LIBRARY ADDS BALDACCI’S LATEST SUSPENSE NOVEL

Bestselling author David Baldacci’s new novel is The Collectors. Set in Washington, D.C., it revolves around four highly eccentric men with mysterious pasts who call themselves the Camel Club. Their mission: find out what’s really going on behind the closed doors of America’s leaders.  

Elizabeth George tells the story of What Came Before He Shot Her. The brutal, inexplicable death of Inspector Thomas Lynley’s wife has left Scotland Yard shocked and searching for answers. Even more horrifying is that the trigger was apparently pulled by a twelve-year-old boy.  

Magic Time by Doug Marlette follows a New York City newspaper columnist, Carter Ransom, as he returns home to Mississippi after an emotional breakdown. Now he must face a formidable father he has disappointed and a traumatic past he has long repressed.  

Vermont cop Joe Gunther is back in The Second Mouse by Archer Mayor. Joe’s latest case is a murder with no signs of violence, no disorder, and no clues about who the victim was or how she died. Suicide seems a reasonable conclusion, but our hero suspects foul play.  

There’s new nonfiction, too, including Mind Set! by John Naisbitt, author of "Megatrends." Here he helps readers see beyond media headlines, political slogans, and personal opinions to select and judge what will form the pictures of the future.

In 50+ by Bill Novelli, the CEO of AARP, you’ll see that America’s baby boomers from age 50 and up are starting new careers, rallying for causes they care about, and becoming more active in their communities. They’re also changing the face of aging in America.  

Football fans will find two new titles for them. Game of My Life is by Jean-Jacques Taylor who talked to 24 Dallas Cowboys and Jimmy Johnson to learn about their most memorable game.  

And Tales From the Broncos Sideline by Floyd Little gives fans a humorous, behind-the-scenes look at a time when the NFL was about football and friendships, not million-dollar contracts and en-zone dances.  

John Stuart Mill said, "One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only interests."  

See you at the library!
