When I Wake
by Rachel Lee
Crippled in body and soul, archaeologist Vernonica Coleridge joins forces with salvage expert Dugan Gallagher to search for an ancient and mysterious mask known as the Storm Mother, an enigmatic artifact that had claimed her own mother's life, as together they become engulfed in a labyrinth of treachery, nature's wrath, passion, and betrayal. Original.
With This Ring
by Jayne Ann Krentz
Her heroines are "originals," her humor is witty, and her heroes hold you spellbound--which is why every book Amanda Quick writes is a novel to treasure. Now, in her fourteenth irresistible historical romance, the New York Times bestselling author returns to the world of Regency England, where a bold widow and an enigmatic scholar are drawn by a bewildering mystery into a perilous brew of passion and danger....Beatrice Poole may be a vicars daughter, but that doesnt mean shes a stranger to the darker passions. Indeed, she knows enough about gothic terrors to have carved out a highly successful career penning "horrid novels." But now the talented authoress finds herself in the midst of an ominous adventure that rivals anything shes ever written. Her beloved Uncle Reggie is dead, his house has been ransacked, and Beatrice suspects that he was murdered--all because of his keen interest in a fabled treasure that may not even exist. Rumors abound that the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, said to give their possessor the most unnatural powers, have surfaced in London. Yet Beatrice needs more than rumors to uncover the truth. Thats why shes braved the wilds of Devon to seek out a leading authority on antiquities and ancient legends: the famously eccentric, unquestionably reclusive, possibly dangerous Earl of Monkcrest, a man believed to dabble in the supernatural.But bearding the Mad Monk of Monkcrest in his den and dangling the possibility of uncovering a fabulous artifact before him may be the biggest mistake of Beatrices life. For suddenly she finds herself joined in an uneasy alliance with a man who is every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels. Five minutes in her company--thats all it takes for Leo Drake to realize that never has he met a woman more stubborn, more infuriating...or more likely to rescue him from boredom than the alluring Beatrice Poole. So when the daring widow insists upon haring off after a mythic treasure that has no doubt lured any number of men to their doom, Leo refuses to let her go alone. Yet keeping Beatrice out of mischief--and in his arms--won't necessarily keep her safe. For somewhere in the netherworld of London, a villain lurks, waiting for the lovers to unearth the Forbidden Rings--knowing that when they do, that day will be their last.
Acqua Alta
by Donna Leon
With Acqua Alta, Donna Leon's award-winning series of Venice-based mysteries reaches its high --watermark, as suave, determined police commissario Guido Brunetti strives to end a string of violent attacks during acqua alta, the winter floods that submerge Venice. When Brett Lynch, an American archaeologist, is savagely beaten by two well-dressed men on the doorstep of her Venice flat, few besides Brunetti are outraged. Lynch is, after all, a foreigner and a lesbian to boot. But all Venice is galvanized when, two days later, Dottor Semenzato, a prestigious museum curator, is murdered. Brunetti quickly makes the connection between Lynch's attack and Semenzato's killing -- both had worked on a celebrated exhibition of Chinese antiquities. The policeman's investigation opens onto the moral sinkhole in which Venice's upper class clandestinely wallows when he discovers that Semenzato had been peddling artifacts from the Chinese exhibition. Lynch has heard of his misdeeds too and of chicanery in high places half a world away. Even a record breaking acqua altawill not deter the killers from getting her murder right the second time. Can Brunetti. In addition to its taut intricate plotting Acqua Alta boasts poignant, beautifully rendered Vignettes of Brunetti's eventful family life and Brett Lynch's romance with her opera singer girlfriend. The book also offers fascinating insights not only on the "real" Venice but on the monumental archaeological dig in Xian, China (site of the "terra cotta army"), and the diva-eat-diva world of opera. In sum, Acqua Alta is the apex of intelligent escapism.
Temple
by Matthew Reilly
Deep in the jungles of Peru, the race of the century is underway. A race to locate a legendary Incan idol - an idol carved out of a strange kind of stone. A stone which in the late 20th century could be used as the basis for a terrifying new weapon. The US Army wants it - at any cost - but they are not alone.... The only clue to the idol's final resting place lies in a 400-year-old manuscript. Enter Professor William Race, a brilliant young linguist, who is unwittingly recruited to translate the manuscript and lead the Army team to the idol. And so begins the mission that will lead Race and his companions to a mysterious stone temple hidden in the foothills of the Andes. A temple seething with menace and danger. But it is only when the temple is opened that Race and his team discover that they have broken a golden rule: Some doors are meant to remain unopened. From the author of Ice Station comes a sensational new adventure that will literally leave you gasping for air.
Dragon Bones
by Lisa See
Advance praise for Dragon Bones “Mixing history, myths, and current events, Dragon Bones is an extraordinarily rich novel. It reveals the emotional and economical entanglement of China with the West, and tells a story of violence, lust, greed, fear, and desperation. The novel not only is a page-turner but is also timely.” —Ha Jin, author of Waiting and The Crazed Praise for Flower Net “Lisa See [does] for Beijing what Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did for turn-of-the-century London or Dashiell Hammett did for 1920s San Francisco: She discerns the hidden city lurking beneath the public façade.” — The Washington Post Book World Praise for The Interior “Lisa See is one of the classier practitioners of . . . the international thriller. She draws her characters . . . with convincing depth, and offers up documentary social detail that reeks of freshly raked muck. See’s China is as vivid as Upton Sinclair’s Chicago.” —The New York Times Book Review
