  When the stalkee becomes the stalker... 
  "Rubin makes the most out of an uber-creepy premise in this superior medical thriller."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
  “A knockout that’s just what the doctor ordered for thriller enthusiasts.”—Kirkus Reviews 
  Liza Larkin, a recent med-school graduate on the cusp of her pathology internship, isn’t like most people. She would rather study the human brain or pound the heavy bag at the gym than spend time with others, and as an outsider she doesn’t let societal norms confine her. 
  So when a stranger’s picture sends Liza’s schizophrenic mother deeper into psychosis, Liza does a reverse-image search to identify him. Upon discovering he is a trauma surgeon at a Massachusetts teaching hospital, she impulsively changes her pathology residency program of choice to his center. 
  She wants to be near him. She wants to know what he’s up to. She wants to protect her family. 
  See you in the ring soon, Dr. Sam Donovan. The bell has rung.

  This is one case Detective Miller won't want to open . . . 
   
   
   
  The second rip-roaring mystery from multi-award-winning international bestseller Mark Billingham starring Detective Miller: unique, unconventional, and criminally underestimated . . . 
   
   
   
  Unconventional Detective Declan Miller has a problem. Well, two problems. First, there's his dead wife and her yet-to-be-solved murder. He really should stop talking to her ghosts . . . 
   
   
   
  Second, and most pressing, a young man has just appeared on his doorstep with a briefcase . . . containing a pair of severed hands. Miller knows this case is proof of a contract killing commissioned by local ne'er do well Wayne Cutler—a man he suspects might also be responsible for his wife's death. Now Miller has leverage, but unfortunately, he also has something that both Cutler and a villainous fast-food kingpin are desperate to get hold of. 
   
   
   
  Sprinkle in a Midsomer Murders-obsessed hitman, a psychotic welder, and a woman driven over the edge by a wayward Crème Egg, and Miller is in a mess that even he might not be able to dance his way out of.

  Hungry - The Inspiring Tale of...

  A mesmerizing work, literarily impressive and historically exacting. -Kirkus 
  In 1847, the Donner party resorted to eating human flesh to survive entrapment at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. They became infamous, with books, stories, and interviews exploring their misery. None of them tell the extraordinary story from the first-person point of view of the female survivors. 
  Until now. 
  Three women yearned to make better lives in California: 
  Nineteen-year-old Mary Ann Graves set out west with her family in search of a home that would be free of disease like the ague that had afflicted her mother and sisters for years. If she met a handsome guy along the way, well, she wouldn’t complain. As the belle of the Donner party, she certainly had plenty of interest. 
  Peggy Breen had just given birth to her seventh child, but she wasn’t afraid of the two-thousand-mile journey toward prosperity. She’d take care of her children and honor her husband along the trail, because that’s what women of faith did. But when supplies became limited, her giving heart and her mother’s instinct were at odds. 
  Virginia Blackstone Reed, the thirteen-year-old daughter of the group’s leader, set out in search of adventure, riding her sassy palomino pony alongside the largest double-decker wagon anyone had ever seen. As the adopted daughter of the most influential and prosperous man in the wagon train, she had no idea at the start that her polarizing father with his ostentatious wealth would pave the way for their future devastation. 
  By the time these women and the rest of the party reached mountains after taking a “shortcut,” they were already two months late. They'd lost people, oxen, mules, and livestock they needed. Then the snow began to fall. 
  And it didn’t stop.

  In the year 2041, Captain Stan Rhodes returns to Planet Mars with a fresh crew and resumes exploring a region called the Cydonia Complex. Investigating architectural wonders from an ancient civilization, they revisit a magnificent five-sided pyramid discovered on the first mission and survey its subterranean passageways. When searching for the ruins of a city called Gaugamar forever buried in the sand, the team is asked by mission planners to penetrate the outer shell of another monument. This leads them to breaching a burial shrine from an older kingdom built for a monarch named Nemnasu. Within the funerary chamber of this monument they encounter an extraordinary life-force, and a text explains how this entity, comprised of a mass of energy, came to be interned in the tomb. The mission is further threatened when one of the team contracts an ancient disease. Coping with horrifically monstrous changes in this individual’s physiology causes this crewmember to become mentally deranged, and in this altered state this person is no longer recognized as human, but seen as something entirely different. Come and join this crew of five as they make new discoveries while struggling to survive on the Red Planet.Special thanks goes to NASA for providing the satellite photos of the Mars surface used in this title.
