Newest Fiction Book:

The Jefferson Key by Steve Berry

Four presidents of the United States have been assassinated, in 1865, 1881, 1901, and 1963, each murder seemingly unrelated. But what if those presidents were all killed for the shocking same reason: a clause contained in the United States Constitution? This is the question faced by former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone.

When President Danny Daniels is nearly killed in the heart of Manhattan, Malone risks his life to foil the murder, only to find himself at odds with the Commonwealth, a secret society of pirates first assembled during the American Revolution. Racing across the nation and taking to the high seas, Malone and Cassiopeia Vitt must break a secret cipher originally possessed by Thomas Jefferson, unravel a mystery concocted by Andrew Jackson, and unearth a document forged by the Founding Fathers themselves, one powerful enough to make the Commonwealth unstoppable.

Beauty by Raphael Selbourne

Beauty, in both name and appearance, is a 20-year-old Bangladeshi, returned to England after having disgraced her family by fleeing an abusive arranged marriage.

Forced onto the job-hunter's treadmill and under extreme domestic pressure, she cracks and runs away. Her encounters with officialdom, fellow claimants, and strangers in the city streets, complicated by the restrictions and comfort of her language and culture, place her at the mercy of such unlikely helpers as Mark, a friendly, bull-terrier-breeding ex-offender, and Peter, a middle-class underachiever on the rebound from a bitter relationship.

With determination and good humor, Beauty moves ever closer to making her choice between family duty and personal freedom. All the while, however, her brothers are searching for her across town. Can she make the choice herself, before she’s forced to? A sharply rendered, compassionate, and challenging portrait of a fragmented, multicultural urban England.

V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton

A woman with a murky past kills herself - or was it murder? A spoiled kid awash in gambling debt thinks he can beat the system. A lovely woman's life is about to splinter into a thousand fragments. A professional shoplifting ring works for the Mob, racking up millions from stolen goods. A wandering husband is rich and ruthless. A dirty cop is so entrenched on the force that he is immune to exposure. A sinister gangster is conscienceless and brutal. A lonely widower mourns the death of his lover, desperate for answers, which may be worse than the pain of his loss. A private detective's thirty-eighth-birthday gift is a punch in the face.

V: Victim. Violence. Vengeance.

Available in regular print or large print.

Christmas in Sugarcreek by Shelley Shepherd Gray

Judith Graber has always been the obedient daughter. When her older brother Josh struggled with his love life, she offered wise counsel. When her younger brother Caleb flirted with the idea of leaving their order, she firmly told him he was wrong. She has helped around the house and worked in her family's store during her spare time.

Judith feels overworked, overlooked, and underappreciated this holiday season, but everything changes when her father hires Ben Knox, the bad boy of Sugarcreek. Never anything close to dutiful, two years ago he left Sugarcreek under a cloud of shame and rumor. Now he's back and working side by side with Judith.

As the chaos of the holiday season threatens to sap all joy, sparks fly between them, but Judith steels herself to ignore her infatuation. The last thing she wants to be is just one more girl who falls under Ben's spell. Ben, on the other hand, wants Judith to realize there's more to him than his bad reputation.
