“ The perfect thriller for a wintry weekend of reading.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch

on HELL’S CORNER

“ Baldacci delivers crisp, economical prose and a cast of spies, misfits, and assassins that would make even the most patriotic citizen question the American political system.” —Booklist on The Collectors “ It’s his eager, expansive imagination that drives his books.” —Newsweek “ Full of stunning twists, high-stakes intrigue, and global gamesmanship rocketing to the Oval Office and beyond.” —Goodreads.com on The Camel Club

Strength in numbers John Carr, aka Oliver Stone—once the most skilled assassin his country ever had—stands in Lafayette Park in front of the White House. It’s the night of a state dinner honoring the British prime minister. As he watches the prime minister’s motorcade leave the White House, a bomb is detonated in the park. In the chaotic aftermath, Stone is given an urgent assignment: find those responsible for the bombing. British MI-6 agent Mary Chapman becomes Stone’s partner in the search for the unknown attackers. But their opponents are elusive, capable, and increasingly lethal; worst of all, it seems that the park bombing may just have been the opening salvo in their plan. With nowhere else to turn, Stone enlists the help of the only people he knows he can trust: the Camel Club.

Sarah and David have survived the zombie apocalypse. They stood side by side and fought the undead, mad scientists, and even bionic monsters until the unthinkable happened. A zombie bite. But not even that could stop them. Now, with a possible cure in hand, they’re headed east, looking for a safe zone behind the rumored “Wall.” They’re feeling pretty optimistic.

Their entry into the world of killing zombies is one the reader can relate to: often terrifying, sometimes bumbling, and entirely hysterical. ♦♦ A Facebook application once told Jesse Petersen that she’d only survive a day in a zombie outbreak, but she doesn’t believe that. For one, she’s a good shot, and two, she has an aversion to bodily fluids, so she’d never go digging around in zombie goo.

While on a quest to kill a vicious Colombian drug lord, Jason Bourne is interrupted by Jalal Essai, a defector from Severus Domna, a secret, international cabal working to influence world events for its own power and gain. Bourne has tangled with Domna before and has concerns about that organization. Now Essai proposes a partnership to destroy them. Bourne, who always works alone, is suspicious. Yet, Essai promises accurate intelligence and opens with a gift of information: Domna has targeted Bourne for death. The assignment was given to Boris Karpov, the head of Russia’s FSB-2 and a longtime friend and ally of Jason’s. They’ve saved each others’ lives on more than one occasion, and Boris is one of the most determined, honorable, justice-hungry men Bourne knows. What is Bourne to do now that he knows a knife is about to be thrust into his back—and the man wielding it is someone he’d trust with his life?

Growing up, the only place tomboy Thayer Wentworth felt at home was at her summer camp—Camp Greyledge on Burnt Mountain in Georgia. It was there that she came alive and where she met Nick Abrams, her first love...and first heartbreak. Years later, Thayer marries Aengus, an Irish professor, and they move into her deceased grandmother’s house in Atlanta, only miles from her beloved camp. There, Aengus and Thayer lead quiet and happy lives until Aengus is invited up to the camp to tell old Irish tales to campers. As Aengus spends less time at home and becomes more distant, Thayer must confront dark secrets— about her mother, her first love, and, most devastating of all, her husband.

The United States is near total collapse. But 87% of the population doesn’t care: they’re addicted to flashback, a drug that allows its users to re-experience the best moments of their lives. After ex-detective Nick Bottom’s wife died in a car accident, he went under the flash to be with her; he’s lost his job, his teenage son, and his livelihood as a result. Nick may be a lost soul but he’s still a good cop, so he is hired to investigate the murder of a top governmental advisor’s son. This flashback addict becomes the one man who may be able to change the course of an entire nation turning away from the future to live in the past.

There’s only one place to turn When you need maximum force and discretion you turn to Private, a renowned investigation company with branches around the globe run by Jack Morgan. He knows the secrets of the most influential men and women on the planet—and his staff uses the world’s most advanced forensic tools to break their cases. Jack is already deep into the investigation of a multi-million dollar NFL gambling scandal and the unsolved slayings of 18 schoolgirls when he learns that his best friend’s wife, Jack’s former lover, has been killed. It nearly pushes him over the edge, but he devotes all of Private’s resources to tracking down her killer—and Jack doesn’t play by the rules. As he closes in on the killer and chooses between revenge and justice, he has to navigate a workplace love affair that threatens to blow the roof off his plans.

SETTING: Small college town in upstate New York TERRITORIES: World

Nina Stokes’s life is far from picture perfect. For years the small-town artist has waited for the day she’d be able to fulfill her late brother’s wishes and hand over his rambling house to its new owner. Yet when a sexy stranger arrives on her doorstep, key in hand, Nina realizes she’s not ready to let go of the house and all its memories—not until she gets some answers to what really happened to her brother. Mick Rivers may be a hard-as-nails soldier, but throwing a woman out of her house isn’t his style. Neither is dredging up memories of the past—a past he is struggling to remember. He desperately needs to sell the house, but he finds the browneyed beauty with the open heart and warm smile impossible to resist. So instead of moving on, Mick moves in. As sweet summer days lead to sizzling summer nights, Mick must finally face his fears. But can he tell Nina the secrets haunting his heart, without breaking hers?

♦♦ The new Sin Hunters series moves away from the sci-fi

Adam Salvatore is heir to an ancient race possessing a dark, powerful magic—he can shapeshift and create energy. But an inhuman force hunts down Adam, just when he finds someone who makes him feel more human than he ever imagined possible. Home from combat in Iraq, Bobbie Carerra joins Adam in a terrifying battle against paranormal enemies. She’s drawn to his strength of mind and body; he’s attracted to her courage and intoxicating energy. Their scorching passion can either transport them to the heights of ecstasy or—if Adam’s powers rage out of control— destroy them. But when an invisible brotherhood tightens its nets, only a heartrending decision can save them.

fringe of Piñeiro’s previous Forever titles and instead features the kind of shapeshifting otherworldly characters readers love. This shift makes the Sin Hunters more appealing to fans of New York Times bestselling authors Larissa Ione, Gena Showalter, and Kresley Cole. ♦♦ Piñeiro has written more than 20 novels, including romantic suspense, women’s fiction, and paranormal romance, for which she became a New York Times bestselling author. ♦♦ The author will create an online reading group guide. ♦♦ This edition will contain a teaser chapter from the author’s next novel, The Claimed (Forever, 2012).

War is Oscar Wendell’s ticket to greatness. A reporter for The Stars and Stripes, he has the only one-way pass to the front lines of a brutal war over natural resources buried underneath the icy, mineral-rich mountains of Kazakhstan. But war is nothing like he expected. The genetics—the germline soldiers—battle heavily armed soldiers hundreds of meters below the surface. Fast, strong, lethal, and totally devoted to the cause, they are the key to winning this war. The genetics are more than simple weapons, though, and playing with the human genome has consequences. Some inventions can’t be undone. Some technologies can’t be put back in the box.

A bonding trip for Pendergast and his brother-in-law, Judson Esterhazy, turns violent. Before abandoning a wounded Pendergast, Esterhazy announces that his sister, Pendergast’s long-dead wife Helen, is alive. Electrified, Pendergast escapes, but retribution is no longer his quarry; his real goal is his wife. He begins by exhuming her grave. After DNA matches the remains to Helen, Pendergast digs further into her past, learning that Helen was born in Brazil and may be related to an infamous Nazi war criminal. Where does this lead? How does Pendergast find the wife he knows is alive? Though in hiding, Esterhazy can’t rest. He needed Pendergast dead because his search was kicking up unpleasant truths and drawing attention from the worst corners. Those truths did not belong to Esterhazy, but to an organization with mind-boggling power and reach. An organization that will stop at nothing to keep its secrets.
