The Blood of an Englishman The Agatha Raisin Mysteries, Book 25 Reader to be announced
E
VEN THOUGH AGATHA RAISIN loathes amateur dramatics, her friend Mrs. Bloxby has persuaded her to support the local pantomime. Stifling a yawn at the production of Babes in the Woods, Agatha watches as the baker, playing an ogre, struts about the stage. Then a trapdoor opens … followed by a scream and then silence. Surely this isn’t the way the scene was rehearsed? When it turns out the baker has been murdered, Agatha puts her team of private detectives on the case. They soon discover more feuds and temperamental behavior in amateur theatrics than in a professional stage show—and face more and more danger as the team gets too close to the killer.

For James Bond and the British Secret Service, the stakes couldn’t be higher. 007’s mission is to neutralize the Russian operative Le Chiffre by ruining him at the baccarat table, forcing his Soviet masters to “retire” him. When Le Chiffre hits a losing streak, Bond discovers his luck is in—that is, until he meets Vesper Lynd, a glamorous agent who might yet prove to be his downfall.

When 007 goes to Harlem, it’s not just for the jazz. This is the kingdom of Mr. Big, master of crime, voodoo baron and partner in SMERSH’s grim company of death. Those who Mr Big cannot possess, he crushes—like his beautiful prisoner, Solitaire, and her would-be saviours James Bond and Agency man, Felix Leiter. All three are marked out as victims in a trail of treachery and torture that leads from New York’s underworld to the shark-infested island in the sun that Mr. Big calls his own.
The Moonraker project has a millionaire backer, the war hero Sir Hugo Drax—a man who, it seems, cheats at cards. With a ballistic rocket at stake, Sir Hugo’s exposure could threaten Britain’s latest defence system, so James Bond is asked to investigate. Moving from London’s most exclusive gambling club to a missile silo on the Channel coast, 007 and his Special Branch assistant, Gala Brand, discover there’s more to Drax than meets the eye.

Diamonds are being smuggled on a formidable scale from Africa to America via Britain. 007’s assignment is to break the smuggling ring. It’s a dangerous mission that takes him to the racecourse and mud-baths of Saratoga Springs, the gaming tables of Las Vegas, the ghost town of Spectreville and beyond. The Spangled Mob threatens to be too much even for Bond, but help is at hand in the shape of co-conspirator Tiffany Case.

For Ethan Walker, going through the motions of life and never getting attached has become the mantra he lives by.

Until Beau, Ethan had never met a man who could get him to question his own logic and even consider taking a different path.
Braydon Walker has always shared everything with his identical twin, Brendon—hopes, dreams, career path, and yes, even women. Known for tag-teaming their love interests, Braydon is surprised when he finds himself wanting to keep their newest lover all to himself. Will the twins’ relationship evolve to fit this new mold, or will Braydon’s desire for independence tear them apart?

Blue Labyrinth The Pendergast Novels, Book 14 by Douglas Preston; Lincoln Child • Read by Rene Auberjonois A long-buried family secret resurfaces when one of Aloysius Pendergast’s most implacable enemies shows up on his doorstep as a murdered corpse. The mystery has all the hallmarks of the perfect murder, save for an enigmatic clue: a piece of turquoise lodged in the stomach of the deceased. The gem leads Pendergast to an abandoned mine on the shore of California’s Salton Sea, which in turn propels him on a journey into his family’s sinister past. But Pendergast learns there is more at work than a ghastly episode of family history. He is soon being stalked by a subtle killer bent on vengeance. In short order, Pendergast is caught in a wickedly clever plot, which may well end with his death.
“What Preston and Child are so good at are…solid research, clear swift prose, and enough twists to fill a jar of pretzels. Sit back, crack open the book, and get ready for the ride of your life.”

“[Hamilton’s] stories are as compelling, and probably as close to the sordid truth of espionage, as any now being told.”
“Hits the heart, not just the pulse, with people you come to care about. First rate and highly recommended.”

The Brewer of Preston Read by Grover Gardner
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR of the Inspector Montalbano series brings us back to Vigàta in the nineteenth century for a rip-roaring comic novel. 1870s, Sicily. Much to the displeasure of Vigàta’s stubborn populace, the town has just been unified under the Kingdom of Italy. They’re now in the hands of a new government they don’t understand and definitely don’t like. Eugenio Bortuzzi has been named prefect for Vigàta, a regional representative from the Italian government to oversee the town. But the rowdy and unruly Sicilians don’t care much for this rather pompous mainlander nor the mediocre opera he’s hell-bent on producing in their new municipal theater. The Brewer of Preston, it’s called, and the Vigàtese are revving up to wreak havoc on the performance’s opening night.
“Montalbano’s deadpan drollery and sharp observations refresh as much for their honesty as their wit.”

As fairy tale fever descends on New York City, Clare gives her coffee truck a “Jack and the Beanstalk” makeover for a Central Park festival. Her ex-husband contributes a bag of African beans with alleged magical properties, and his mother entertains customers with readings of the grinds. Clare remains skeptical—until she has a vision that helps her find the body of a young model in the woods. The police dismiss the “sleeping beauty” as the victim of an overdose. Then Clare uncovers evidence that points to a roster of suspects, from a wolf of Wall Street to a wicked witch of the West Side. Now Clare has a dangerous predator on her heels and an investigation that leads from a secret Prince Charming club right back to her own NYPD detective boyfriend.

NEW RELEASES DECEMBER Men, Women & Children by Chad Kultgen • Reader to be announced The story of one town’s complicated network of dating and sex, intimacy and disconnection, online and off—at work, at home, and in school—is now a major motion picture by Jason Reitman featuring a star-studded cast that includes Adam Sandler, Jennifer Garner, Emma Thompson, and an attention-getting cast of young newcomers. The novel explores the sexual explorations of a handful of junior high school students and their equally dysfunctional parents. From porn-surfing fathers to World of Warcraft–obsessed sons, from competitive cheerleaders to their dissatisfied, misguided mothers, Kultgen clicks open the emotionally treacherous culture we live in.
“Dark, hilarious, but most of all honest, Men, Women & Children is an unparalleled snapshot of sexual politics in the age of social networking, one that reminds me of my first encounters with films like The Graduate and American Beauty.”

D-Day: The Road to Normandy
Antony and Cleopatra By William Shakespeare Starring Kenneth Branagh, Alex Kingston, and a full cast Audio Theater
Voices from the BBC Archives Featuring Jonathan Keeble Radio Program
In 1940, after the evacuation of the British army from Dunkirk, Winston Churchill vowed that Allied Forces would return to “cleanse Europe of the Nazi Pestilence.” The logistics of Operation Overlord were daunting, but an inspired campaign of deception successfully diverted Hitler’s attention away from the Normandy beaches until it was too late. Rommel had privately declared the battle must be won in the first twenty-four hours or it would be the beginning of the end for Germany. He was right. The reminiscences of civilians, military strategists, German officers, and Allied servicemen powerfully evoke the events of seventy years ago. The courage of the troops is evident, yet their individual stories reveal their deepest fears. • Will appeal to military history buffs and those interested in the personal aspect of war • World War II stories are always in demand

The Ellery Queen Mysteries Read by Mark Peckham
—Kirkus Reviews
Ellery Queen’s latest foe brings a civilized touch to murder.
John Lovering Benedict had more than most men—more money, more mansions, more cars, but most of all more women, including three exwives with little in common but their extraordinary physiques. For Ellery Queen the question was which one of them had bashed in Benedict’s skull with a hunk of iron statuary? The clues were many … but puzzling. All had been planted at the scene of the crime, but by whom, and for what purpose? And who was the last woman in John Benedict’s life?
And on the Eighth Day
“Quintessentially Queen.”

TITLES THAT INSPIRED MAJOR MOTION PICTURES & TELEVISION SHOWS
The Hundred-Foot Journey A Novel by Richard C. Morais Read by Neil Shah
The Hundred-Foot Journey in theaters 8/8/2014. Starring Helen Mirren, Rohan Chand, and Charlotte Le Bon.
“The novel’s charm lies in its improbability: it’s Slumdog Millionaire meets Ratatouille.” —New York Times Book Review
The Best of Me in theaters 10/17/2014. Starring James Marsden, Michelle Monaghan, and Liana Liberato. The Best of Me is the heartrending story of two former small-town high school sweethearts from opposite sides of the tracks. Now middle-aged, they’ve taken wildly divergent paths, but neither has lived the life they imagined—and neither can forget the passionate first love that forever altered their world. When they are both called back to their hometown for the funeral of the mentor who once gave them shelter, each will be forced to confront the choices they have made—and ask whether love can truly rewrite the past.
The Imitation Game in theaters 11/21/2014. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightly, and Mark Strong. Between 1939 and 1943, British and American navies fought a losing battle against German submarine wolf packs. The Allies might never have turned the tide of that historic battle without an intelligence coup. The race to break the German U-boat codes is one of the last great untold stories of World War II. Kahn, the world’s leading historian of cryptology, brings to life this tense, behind-the-scenes drama for the first time. This is the definitive account of how British and American code breakers fought a war of wits against Nazi naval communications and helped lead the Allies to victory in the crucial Battle of the Atlantic.

The King James Version of the Holy Bible is the most influential and widely published book ever written. It has been translated into over two thousand languages and is still the world’s best-selling book every year.

Its flowing language and prose rhythm has had a profound influence on the literature of the past four hundred years. English speakers around the world are praising this new recording of the King James Bible by British narrator Christopher Glyn, who draws on thirty-five years of experience as a Christian narrator and broadcaster to bring you this expressive reading of the King James Bible that captures the beauty and power of God’s Word in easy-to-understand language.

Now, for the first time, David’s wife Edna reveals the intriguing story of their complicated relationship.
“Sensitive and poignant…an indispensable contribution to the Roosevelt literature.”
—Margaret Johnson-Hodge, bestselling author of Butterscotch Blues
—Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
