Annabelle Conroy, an honorary member of the Camel Club, is the greatest con artist of her generation. As an old, powerful mark hunts her down and the Camel Club tries to protect her, a new opponent suddenly arises. One by one, men from Oliver Stone’s shadowy past turn up dead. Behind this slaughter stands one man: Harry Finn. To almost all who know him, he’s a loving father and husband who uses his skills to keep America safe. But Finn is also an unstoppable killer who now sets his lethal bull’s-eye on Oliver Stone. And with Harry Finn, Stone may well have met his match.

Tony Alisio finally had a hit. Stuffed into the trunk of his Rolls on a ragged stretch of Mulholland Drive, the B-movie producer took two bullets to the head—the kind of job wiseguys called “Trunk Music.” LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, hungry for action after an involuntary layoff, catches the case and is soon painstakingly unraveling Alisio’s life, times, and ties . . . from his Mob deals to his beautiful wife to a stripper in Vegas to the disgraced FBI agent who just happens to be Harry’s ex-girlfriend. Now somewhere between LA and Las Vegas is the one answer Harry needs. But so are enemies on both sides of the law, the woman he still loves, and the secrets that can break your heart—or get you killed.

The leaders of the free world descend on Scotland for an international conference, and every cop in the country is needed for front-line duty... except one. John Rebus’s reputation precedes him, and his bosses don’t want him anywhere near Presidents Bush and Putin, which explains why he’s manning an abandoned police station when a call comes in. During a pre-conference dinner at Edinburgh Castle, a delegate has fallen to his death. Accident, suicide, or something altogether more sinister? While the government and secret services attempt to hush the whole thing up, Rebus knows he has only 72 hours to find the answers—in his most challenging and personal case yet.

Still aching over his wife’s death, Cody Gunner can’t bear the thought of also letting go of Carl Joseph, his brother with Down Syndrome. Cody wants Carl Joseph home, where he’ll be safe and cared for, not on his own in a world that Cody knows can be merciless and full of danger. So when his brother’s teacher, Elle, starts to champion his independence, she immediately finds herself at odds with Cody. But even as these two battle it out, they can’t deny the emotional connection they share—and Cody soon faces a crisis of the heart. What if Elle is the one woman who can teach Cody that love is still possible? If Cody could only free himself from his lingering anger, he might see that sometimes the brightest hope of all lies JUST BEYOND THE CLOUDS.

SETTING: Debatable Space Universe
♦ The first in a series of stand-alone novels set in the
TERRITORIES: US, Canada, and Open Market
Flanagan (who is, for want of a better word, a pirate) has a relatively simple plan: kidnap Lena, the Cheo’s daughter, demand a vast ransom for her safe return, then sit back and wait. There’s just one problem: the Cheo, the despotic ruler of the known universe, isn’t playing ball. Flanagan and his crew have seen this before, of course, and have obtained secret information about Lena that should make their plan foolproof. Unfortunately, they’ve underestimated the ferocity of the Cheo’s defiance. Now, with the clock ticking, the situation is beginning to require extreme measures. Luckily, Flanagan has considerable experience in this area...

It’s the world’s most famous murder: Cain kills Abel. But the weapon has been lost to history. In 1932, Mitchell Siegel was killed by three gunshots to his chest. While mourning, his son dreamed of a bulletproof man and created the world’s greatest hero: Superman. And like Cain’s murder weapon, the gun used in this unsolved murder has never been found. Until now. Today in Fort Lauderdale, Cal Harper comes face-to-face with his family’s greatest secret: his long-lost father, who’s been shot with a gun that traces back to Mitchell Siegel’s 1932 murder. But before Cal can ask a single question, he and his father are attacked by a ruthless killer tattooed with the ancient markings of Cain. And so begins the chase for the world’s first murder weapon.

PRAISE FROM THE NARRATOR: “Brad Meltzer is one of my favorite writers to narrate, primarily because when we’re recording, it feels like he’s there in the studio with me. Not just because his books are usually written in the first person and dynamically voiced, but because Brad was the first author to show me just how much he cares about the audio versions of their work. Brad goes out of his way to stay involved, to be available at the drop of a hat if a question arises; he’s even called me from Germany to make sure I knew how to interpret a vocal inflection he’d written in for one particular character.” 25

Martha Carrier was one of the first women to be accused, tried and hanged as a witch in Salem, Massachusetts. Like her mother, young Sarah Carrier is bright and willful, openly challenging the small, brutal world in which they live. Often at odds with one another, mother and daughter are forced to stand together against the escalating hysteria of the trials and the superstitious tyranny that led to the torture and imprisonment of more than 200 people accused of witchcraft. This is the story of Martha’s courageous defiance and ultimate death, as told by the daughter who survived. Author Kathleen Kent is a 10th generation descendent of Martha Carrier, and she paints a haunting portrait, not just of Puritan New England, but also of one family’s deep and abiding love in the face of fear and persecution.

LIFE IS A TEST is really three audiobooks in one, each bearing a particular focus to help listeners look for the message embedded in any difficulty. It begins with tests of self-discovery and then examines the challenging realm of interpersonal relationships, concluding with a section on perceiving the Divine Design in the big picture of global events, as well as in one’s own world. Regardless of age or experience, people of all persuasions will find meaningful substance in LIFE IS A TEST. Rebbitzen Esther Jungreis captures the deep-seated questions and provides a decipherable answer key. For over 40 years, she has been a globetrotting spokeswoman for Judaism. Her message is elegantly universal and simultaneously addresses the specific needs of contemporary Jews.

United States after surviving the Nazi’s Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. To counter the spiritual holocaust among Jews around the world, the Rebbetzin founded Hineni, a pioneering outreach organization that reconnects Jews to their rich and dynamic Jewish heritage. ♦ LIFE IS A TEST is Rebbetzin Jungreis’ fourth book. She previously authored three bestsellers, including The Committed Marriage(HarperOne,4/03),The Committed Life (HaraperOne, 8/99), and The Jewish Soul on Fire (William Morrow & Co., 2/82). Translated into Hebrew, Hungarian, Russian, and Spanish, her books have transformed hearts—from soldiers in the field to business leaders and heads of state. The Rebbetzin writes a weekly column for the Jewish Press, the world’s largest Anglo-Jewish weekly with a circulation of 500,000. Her weekly Hineni program is the longest running Jewish broadcast in America. Thousands have attended the Rebbetzin’s twice-weekly Torah classes in Manhattan. These challenging lectures have been the catalyst for countless marriage matches. Jungreis has been featured in major publications including Newsweek, Time, New York, and People, as well as major newspapers throughout the world. In 2005, Jungreis was appointed by President Bush as a member of the US delegation at the dedication of Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. In 2006, he appointed her to a five year term on the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. This audiobook is read by Oscar-nominated and Emmy winning actress Mare Winningham.

Most people just laugh when they hear that the secret to success is giving. THE GO-GIVER tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. He seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant known simply as the Chairman. Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of “go-givers:” a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the “Connector,” who brought them all together. Pindar’s friends share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the power of giving. Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving—putting others’ interests first and continually adding value to their lives—ultimately leads to unexpected returns.

FOOLED BY RANDOMNESS is an instant classic and a cornerstone for anyone interested in random outcomes. It’s about luck—or more precisely, how one perceives and deals with luck in life and business. Taleb uses stories and anecdotes to illustrate the overestimation of causality that makes one view the world as far more explainable than it actually is. With an array of characters who understand the significance of chance, including Yogi Berra, George Soros, Ulysses, and “the lucky fool in the right place at the right time,” Taleb illustrates the role of randomness in professional life. It may be impossible to guard against the vagaries of the Goddess Fortuna, but after listening to FOOLED BY RANDOMNESS listeners will be better prepared.
