Fiction

Desperate Girls by Laura Griffin-Defense attorney Brynn Holloran is right at home among cops, criminals, and tough-as-nails prosecutors. With her sharp wit and pointed words, she has a tendency to intimidate, and she likes it that way. When a vicious murderer she once helped prosecute resurfaces and starts a killing spree to wipe out those who put him behind bars, one thing becomes clear: Brynn needs to run for her life.

Red War by Kyle Mills-Mitch Rapp races to prevent Russia’s gravely ill leader from starting a full-scale war with NATO. With the Kremlin’s entire security apparatus hunting him, Rapp must eliminate the threat. If his mission is discovered, it will plunge Russia and America into a conflict that neither will survive.

Ambush by James Patterson-Only Detective Michael Bennett stands in the way of two lethal cartels fighting for New York City’s multi-million-dollar opioid trade. And they know where Bennett, and his family, live. An anonymous tip about a crime in Upper Manhattan proves to be a setup. An officer is taken down-and, despite the attackers’ efforts, it’s not Michael Bennett.

Nonfiction

Rush by Stephen Fried-The remarkable story of Benjamin Rush, medical pioneer and one of our nation’s most provocative and unsung Founding Fathers. In the summer of 1776, fifty-six men put their quills to a dangerous document they called the Declaration of Independence. Among them was a thirty-year-old doctor named Benjamin Rush. One of the youngest signatories, he was also, among stiff competition, one of the most visionary. A brilliant physician and writer, Rush was known as the “American Hippocrates” for pioneering national healthcare and revolutionizing treatment of mental illness and addiction. Yet medicine is only part of his legacy.
