Fiction

¯ “The President is Missing” — The White House is the home of the president of the United States, the most guarded, monitored, closely watched person in the world. So how could a U.S. president vanish without a trace? And why would he choose to do so? An unprecedented collaboration between President Bill Clinton and the world’s bestselling novelist, James Patterson, “The President is Missing” is a breathtaking story from the pinnacle of power. Full of what it truly feels like to be the person in the Oval Office — the mind-boggling pressure, the heartbreaking decisions, the exhilarating opportunities, the soul-wrenching power — this is the thriller of the decade, confronting the darkest threats that face the world today, with the highest stakes conceivable.

¯ “Meet Me at the Museum” — Professor Anders Larsen, an urbane man of facts, has lost his wife and his hope for the future. On an isolated English farm, Tina Hopgood is trapped in a life she doesn’t remember choosing. Both believe their love stories are over. Brought together by a shared fascination with the Tollund Man, subject of Seamus Heaney’s famous poem, they begin writing letters to one another. And from their vastly different worlds, they find they have more in common than they could have imagined. As they open up to one another about their lives, an unexpected friendship blooms. But then Tina’s letters stop coming, and Anders is thrown into despair. How far are they willing to go to write a new story for themselves?

¯ “Ghosted” by Rosie Walsh — When Sarah meets Eddie, they connect instantly and fall in love. To Sarah, it seems as though her life has finally begun. And it’s mutual: It’s as though Eddie has been waiting for her, too. Sarah has never been so certain of anything. So when Eddie leaves for a long-booked vacation and promises to call from the airport, she has no cause to doubt him. But he doesn’t call. Sarah’s friends tell her to forget about him, but she can’t. She knows something’s happened, there must be an explanation. Minutes, days, weeks go by as Sarah becomes increasingly worried. But then she discovers she’s right.
