Titles starting with N from Plaid Pineapple Books and Gifts

This 10th Harry Bosch novel links the retired LA cop with characters from previous non-Bosch novels. A serial killer and ex-FBI agent named Robert Backus, the title character from Michael Connelly's first novel, THE POET, was commonly thought to be dead. But now the Poet has resurfaced and has started killing again. At risk is FBI agent Rachel Walling, a former protégé of Backus who subsequently investigated his first killing spree. As she begins a new hunt for the Poet, her path crosses that of Harry Bosch, who believes that the natural-seeming death of a friend, Terry McCaleb (a character from Connelly's BLOOD WORK and A DARKNESS MORE THAN NIGHT), may actually have been one of the Poet's murders.

Amateur detective Nate the Great reluctantly takes on a case presented to him by Oliver, the neighborhood pest. It seems that Oliver has lost his favorite weed. Will Nate and his loyal assistant--his dog, Sludge--be able to crack the case? Two-color and b&w illustrations accompany the text of this beginning reader book.

Articles, essays, interviews, and columns written over three decades by poet Wanda Coleman.

Carl Hiassan takes an outlandish ensemble cast, including an obsessive sexual harasser, a failed alligator wrestler, a soulless telemarketer, and the nature girl of the title, Honey Santana, and sends them on a pratfall-filled escapade into the heart of Florida's Everglades. Hiaasen juggles his characters with comic genius, and incorporates his usual theme of environmental conservation into their ribald antics.
