Exact Revenge

For twenty years, Raymond White has waited. Living in a maximum security prison in upstate New York and convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, his only thoughts are finding the men who put him there.

In 1985, White was living out the decade’s excesses. Money. Power. A beautiful woman. White, a self-made man with humble roots, was only a step away from political office and marriage to the woman he loved.

But when a dying congressman asked White to hand-deliver a simple letter, a group of jealous rivals led him into an ingenious frame-up for murder.

Only decades later, when White befriends a wizened art thief named Lester Cole, does the future offer more than his grim cell. The aged Cole holds the key to unlocking the closed doors of the past.

Together, they plot an ingenious escape. Outside the prison gates, unimaginable wealth from a hidden cache awaits. That and a new name would give White the power to make every one of his enemies pay, and pay dearly.

Mary Mary

Somebody is murdering Hollywood’s A list.

FBI agent Alex Cross is on vacation when he gets a call from the Director. An actress has been shot outside her home in Beverly Hills. Afterward, an editor for the Los Angeles Times receives an e-mail recounting the murder in shocking detail, signed Mary Smith. Her calling card:

"You’ve got mail."

The authorities fear this is only the beginning. Mary Smith is targeting Hollywood stars and power brokers, and she is getting better every time.

This case is like nothing Alex has ever confronted before. Could this be the plan of an obsessed fan or a spurned actor, or is it part of something much more terrifying? And how could a woman be capable of these vicious crimes?

To track a merciless killer, Alex navigates a world where the stars sip San Pellegrino at the Ivy as hopefuls hover around studio gates armed with 8 X 10 glossies. Members of the A-list fear they’re next on Mary’s list, and Cross and the LAPD scramble to find a pattern before Mary can send one more chilling update.

Filled with the ruthless twists that make his fans hunger for more, Mary, Mary is James Patterson’s most sophisticated thriller yet.

Straight Into Darkness

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »

With ten consecutive New York Times bestsellers, Faye Kellerman is truly a “master of mystery” (Cleveland Plain Dealer). Now she turns her acute eye on 1920s Munich, a war-wounded city rocked by political agitation and stalked by a nameless, barbaric butcher.

Lustmord - the joy of murder. The terrifying concept seems apt for the brutal slaying of a beautiful young society wife dumped in the vast English Garden. Homicide inspector Axel Berg is horrified by the crime…and disturbed by the artful arrangement of the victim’s clothes and hair-a madman’s portrait of death.

Berg’s superiors demand quick answers and a quick arrest: a vagrant, the woman’s husband, anyone who can be demonized will do. When a second body is discovered, the city erupts into panic, the unrest fomented by the wild-eyed, hate-mongering Austrian Adolf Hitler and his Brownshirt party of young thugs.

Berg can trust no one as he relentlessly hunts a ruthless killer, dodging faceless enemies and back-alley intrigue, struggling to bring a fiend to justice before the country - and his life - veer straight into darkness.

Praise for Barbara Delinsky’s Audiobooks
"Rather than succumb to the usual tear-jerking stereotype that too often mars women’s fiction, Delinsky fuels The Woman Next Door with realistic people and their very real problems." — Sun-Sentinel (Fort Lauderdale)
