The classic thriller that launched the Alex Cross series, the #1 detective series of the past twenty-five years!

A missing little girl named Maggie Rose . . . a family of three brutally murdered in the projects of Washington, D.C. . . . the thrill-killing of a beautiful elementary school teacher . . . a psychopathic serial kidnapper/murderer who is so terrifying that the FBI, the Secret Service, and the police cannot outsmart him - even after he's been captured.

The latest of the unspeakable crimes happens in Alex Cross's precinct. It happens under the noses of Jezzie Flanagan's men. Now Alex Cross must face the ultimate test: How do you outmaneuver a brilliant psychopath? [via]

Book summary:
Oprah Book Club® Selection, September 1996: The horror of losing a child is somehow made worse when the case goes unsolved for nearly a decade, reports Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel columnist Jacquelyn Mitchard in this searing first novel. In it, 3-year-old Ben Cappadora is kidnapped from a hotel lobby where his mother is checking into her 15th high school reunion. His disappearance tears the family apart and invokes separate experiences of anguish, denial, and self-blame. Marital problems and delinquency in Ben's older brother (in charge of him the day of his kidnapping) ensue. Mitchard depicts the family's friction and torment--along with many gritty realities of family life--with the candor of a journalist and compassion of someone who has seemingly been there. International publishing and movie rights sold fast on this one: It's a blockbuster. [via]

Book summary:
Television writer Lee Child's otherwise riveting first thriller, Killing Floor, was criticized by some reviewers because of an unconvincing coincidence at its center. Child addresses that problem in his second book--and thumbs his nose at those reviewers--by having his hero, ex-military policeman Jack Reacher, just happen to be walking by a Chicago dry cleaner when an attractive young FBI agent named Holly Johnson comes out carrying nine expensive outfits and a crutch to support her soccer-injured knee. As Holly stumbles, Reacher grabs her and her garments--which gets him kidnapped along with her by a trio of very determined badguys. "He had no problem with how he had gotten grabbed up in the first place," Child writes. "Just a freak of chance had put him alongside Holly Johnson at the exact time the snatch was going down. He was comfortable with that. He understood freak chances. Life was built out of freak chances, however much people would like to pretend otherwise." Lucky for Holly--whose father just happens to be an Army general and current head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, thus making her a tempting target for a bunch of Montana-based extremists--Reacher still has all the skills and strengths associated with his former occupation. And Child still knows how to write scenes of violent action better than virtually anyone else around. --Dick Adler [via]

Book summary:
No one ever really paid close attention to the faces of the missing children on the milk cartons. But as Janie Johnson glanced at the face of the ordinary little girl with her hair in tight pigtails, wearing a dress with a narrow white collar--a three-year-old who had been kidnapped twelve years before from a shopping mall in New Jersey--she felt overcome with shock. She recognized that little girl--it was she. How could it possibly be true? Janie can't believe that her loving parents kidnapped her, but as she begins to piece things together, nothing makes sense. Something is terribly wrong. Are Mr. and Mrs. Johnson really Janie's parents? And if not, who is Janie Johnson, and what really happened? [via]

To Anybody Out There

My name is Jackie McGee. I am the girl who disappeared. Listen to the news. See if other pieces of paper are scattered nearby. Maybe if you yell really loud I can hear you and yell back. I am not making this up. Please help!

Left in an underground cement room by an unknown captor, Jackie has food and water but no light or human contact. She does not know when--or if--her abductor will retum.

As her desperation mounts, Jackie touch-types to focus her mind: letters to her family, a story for her English class, and reflections on her life in the past few months. In her isolation and fear, Jackie is forced to test her emotional boundaries, and in doing so she finds new meaning in her past as well as rich reserves of strength and courage within herself. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Golden Compass'
Book summary:
Some books improve with age--the age of the reader, that is. Such is certainly the case with Philip Pullman's heroic, at times heart-wrenching novel, The Golden Compass, a story ostensibly for children but one perhaps even better appreciated by adults. The protagonist of this complex fantasy is young Lyra Belacqua, a precocious orphan growing up within the precincts of Oxford University. But it quickly becomes clear that Lyra's Oxford is not precisely like our own--nor is her world. For one thing, people there each have a personal daemon, the manifestation of their soul in animal form. For another, hers is a universe in which science, theology, and magic are closely allied:
As for what experimental theology was, Lyra had no more idea than the urchins. She had formed the notion that it was concerned with magic, with the movements of the stars and planets, with tiny particles of matter, but that was guesswork, really. Probably the stars had daemons just as humans did, and experimental theology involved talking to them.
Not that Lyra spends much time worrying about it; what she likes best is "clambering over the College roofs with Roger the kitchen boy who was her particular friend, to spit plum stones on the heads of passing Scholars or to hoot like owls outside a window where a tutorial was going on, or racing through the narrow streets, or stealing apples from the market, or waging war." But Lyra's carefree existence changes forever when she and her daemon, Pantalaimon, first prevent an assassination attempt against her uncle, the powerful Lord Asriel, and then overhear a secret discussion about a mysterious entity known as Dust. Soon she and Pan are swept up in a dangerous game involving disappearing children, a beautiful woman with a golden monkey daemon, a trip to the far north, and a set of allies ranging from "gyptians" to witches to an armor-clad polar bear.
In The Golden Compass, Philip Pullman has written a masterpiece that transcends genre. It is a children's book that will appeal to adults, a fantasy novel that will charm even the most hardened realist. Best of all, the author doesn't speak down to his audience, nor does he pull his punches; there is genuine terror in this book, and heartbreak, betrayal, and loss. There is also love, loyalty, and an abiding morality that infuses the story but never overwhelms it. This is one of those rare novels that one wishes would never end. Fortunately, its sequel, The Subtle Knife, will help put off that inevitability for a while longer. --Alix Wilber [via]

Book summary:
Set in Scotland after the Jacobite rebellion, young David Balfour leaves home and goes to the sinister House of Shaws. There, he finds himself kidnapped, the victim of his uncle's plot to cheat him of his inheritance, aboard a ship bound for America. He teams up with the Jacobite loyalist and spy, Alan Breck and they take on the ship's crew in a courageous battle but are soon shipwrecked. Later, they find themselves suspected of the murder of 'Red Fox', a notorious enemy of the Jacobeans. They flee across the Highlands in a perilous journey back to David's home where he finally claims his inheritance. First serialised in Young Folks magazine in 1886, and issued as a book later that year, Kidnapped provided much of the inspiration for John Buchan's The Thirty Nine Steps and a generation of subsequent thrillers.

Book summary:
In a riveting new thriller, worldwide bestselling suspense writer Mary Higgins Clark weaves the mystery of twin telepathy into a mother's search for a kidnapped child, presumed dead.

Margaret and Steve Frawley celebrate the third birthday of their twin girls, Kelly and Kathy, with an afternoon party in their new home, a modest fixer-upper in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

The evening of the twins' birthday party, Steve and Margaret attend a black-tie dinner in New York. When they return home, the police are in the house, and they are told that the babysitter had been found unconscious, the children are gone, and a note demanding an eight-million-dollar ransom had been left in their room.

Steve Frawley's firm, a global investment company, agrees to pay the ransom. The kidnapper, who identifies himself as the "Pied Piper," makes his terms known -- on delivery of the ransom, a call will come, revealing the girls' whereabouts. The call comes, but only Kelly is in the car parked behind a deserted restaurant. The driver is dead from a gunshot wound and has left a suicide note, saying he had inadvertently killed Kathy and had dumped her body in the ocean.

At the private memorial Mass for Kathy, Kelly tugs Margaret's arm and says: "Mommy, Kathy is very scared of that lady. She wants to come home right now." More unexplainable occurrences follow, indicating that Kelly is in touch with Kathy. At first, no one except the mother believes that the twins are communicating and that Kathy is still alive. As Kelly's warnings become increasingly specific and alarming, however, FBI agents set out on a search for Kathy. The novel reaches a breathtaking climax as they close in on the Pied Piper and his accomplices, while Kathy's life hangs by a thread.

In delving into the well-documented but still unexplained phenomenon of twin telepathy, Mary Higgins Clark tells a spellbinding tale that takes us deep into the minds of her characters while lifting us to the heights of suspense.

How do you recover the past when it was never yours to lose? Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her beloved, widowed father, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiance, and her own search-and-rescue bloodhound, which she uses to find missing persons. But as Delia plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she can't recall...until a policeman knocks on her door, revealing a secret about herself that changes the world as she knows it -- and threatens to jeopardize her future. With Vanishing Acts, Jodi Picoult explores how life -- as we know it -- might not turn out the way we imagined; how the people we've loved and trusted can suddenly change before our very eyes; how the memory we thought had vanished could return as a threat. Once again, Picoult handles an astonishing and timely topic with under-standing, insight, and compassion. [via]

Book summary:
The story began when teenage Janie Johnson recognized her younger self as The Face on the Milk Carton. It continued when she tried to fit in with her birth family, leaving her "real" parents grieving about Whatever Happened to Janie. The complicated saga took a vicious turn when Janie's boyfriend Reeve betrayed her, broadcasting her troubles as The Voice on the Radio. Finally, we are provided with a suspenseful, satisfying conclusion as Caroline B. Cooney reveals What Janie Found.
The discovery that her adoptive father has been secretly supporting Janie's kidnapper, Hannah, fills Janie with anger and loathing. True, Hannah is his daughter, but long ago she abandoned her parents for a cult, coming back only for a few hours to leave a 3-year-old child with them she claimed was their granddaughter. Janie grew up thinking they were her parents--until that day when her own face looked back at her from the milk carton. Now her father lies unconscious in the hospital, and Janie has found an address in his files that will lead her to the woman who decimated two families. With the reluctant help of Reeve and her brother Brian, Janie sets out to find the enigmatic Hannah and face her down with questions, even though she knows the answers may destroy them all.
Caroline Cooney is a master of the psychological page-turner, and here she pulls together all the threads of this emotionally complex story for a rousing finale to her most popular series. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell [via]

Book summary:
Un nouveau héros est né. Il a douze ans, est le dernier rejeton d'une dynastie de voleurs irlandais. Il vit dans un château, auprès de sa mère dont l'esprit a flanché lors de la disparition de son mari. La fortune des Fowl est au plus mal. Mais Artemis est un petit génie escorté d'un serviteur tout dévoué et doté d'une force peu commune. Voilà des atouts de poids pour faire aboutir un projet fou, qui ne pouvait germer que dans la tête d'un enfant : s'emparer de l'or des fées&
Eoin Colfer a choisi pour héros un jeune (très jeune) malfaiteur. Il fallait oser. Artemis ne s'embarrasse pas de beaucoup de scrupules et sa morale est, disons, particulière. Quand on est fils de bandit& Il n'est pourtant pas dépourvu de cSur, on le verra, ni d'humour. Quant à sa détermination, elle est peu commune. On lui emboîte le pas bien volontiers en dévorant ce roman qui mêle avec allégresse le monde des fées et celui des nouvelles technologies, informatique et magie, science-fiction et traditions, vieilles légendes irlandaises et réalité du monde moderne. Et ce polar caustique n'est que la première manche d'un combat qui promet de se poursuivre entre Artemis et le Peuple& On attend déjà la suite avec impatience, que l'on ait 12 ans, un peu moins ou& beaucoup plus. --Pascale Wester [via]

Book summary:
Il est au départ déstabilisant, le monde dans lequel nous invite Philip Pullman, c'est celui de Lyra, la jeune héroïne. Il ressemble étrangement au nôtre, et s'en sépare tout à la fois, étrangement, par des détails qui apparaissent au fil du récit. On voyage en zeppelin, on rencontre des sorcières, des ours en armure... Chaque personnage est accompagné d'un "daemon", sorte d'animal familier mais qui est bien plus que cela : le daemon fait partie de son compagnon humain, il est le reflet de son âme. L'un ne peut survivre à l'autre. Celui de Lyra s'appelle Pantalaimon. Il la suivra dans toutes ses aventures jusque dans les Royaumes du Nord, en quête de la vérité sur la mystérieuse "Poussière".
Voilà un roman résolument original, lyrique, poétique en même temps que passionnant. À la croisée des mondes, les croyances et les cultures se frottent, se lient ou se heurtent, les certitudes y vacillent, jusqu'à un dénouement en forme de suspense... suite au prochain épisode : La Tour des anges. À partir de 11 ans. --Pascale Wester [via]

Book summary:
Meggie lebt mit ihrem Vater Mo, einem "Bücherarzt", in einem alten Haus. Da steht eines Nachts ein merkwürdiger Mann vor der Tür. Er warnt Mo vor jemandem namens Capricorn. Bei Nacht und Nebel fliehen die drei, und nach und nach findet Meggie heraus, dass ihr Vater allerlei Geheimnisse vor ihr verbirgt. Wieso hat er sich zum Beispiel immer geweigert, ihr vorzulesen? Und was ist mit Meggies Mutter wirklich geschehen, die vor vielen Jahren verschwand?
Meggie bekommt erste Antworten, als sie vom grausamen Capricorn gefangen genommen werden. Er tut alles, um von Mo das Buch "Tintenherz" zu bekommen. Denn Capricorn selbst -- und nicht nur er -- ist aus diesem Buch in unsere Welt gekommen, "herausgelesen" von Mo. Ein Albtraum wird lebendig, ein Buch erwacht zum Leben. Und Meggie wird zum Angelpunkt eines dunklen Kampfes zwischen Realität und allzu realer Fiktion.
Tintenherz ist ein fabelhaft erzähltes Buch über Bücher, über das Wunder des Lesens und über die Bedeutung, die Geschichten für unser Leben haben. Wer hätte sich nicht schon einmal gewünscht, dass die Figuren aus seinen Büchern lebendig werden? Funke lässt diesen Traum Wirklichkeit werden. Aber Meggie, Mo und alle anderen zahlen dafür einen hohen Preis. Denn wundersame Märchenwelt und finsterer Albtraum gehen Hand in Hand, und das Böse scheint von Anfang an die besseren Karten zu haben...
Mit ihrem neuen Buch wird Cornelia Funke nicht nur ihre Fangemeinde begeistern. Auch diejenigen, die ihre Bücher noch nicht kennen, werden "Funke-süchtig" werden, sobald sie einige Seiten gelesen haben. Und die einen wie die anderen werden am Ende erstaunt und betrübt feststellen, dass sie die fast 600 Seiten wie im Rausch verschlungen haben. Aber glücklicherweise gibt es ja noch andere Bücher von dieser außergewöhnlichen Autorin, die zu Recht seit ihrem Buch Herr der Diebe auch international bekannt ist. --Gabi Neumayer [via]
