New Arrivals!Next in the Stone Barrington Series...
 Kisser
by Stuart Woods
Stone Barrington is back in New York, and after a rather harrowing
sojourn in Key West, he's looking to stay closer to home and work on
some simple divorce and custody cases for Woodman & Weld. But when
he crosses paths with a fetching Broadway actress-and sometime lip
model- Stone gets a little more deeply involved with business than he'd
expected. When his new lady love turns out to be a lady with a shady
past, Stone and downtown cop Dino Bacchetti realize that her beauty may
have an unusually high price. . . -Amazon.comFrom the author of the Historian...
 The Swan Thieves
by Elizabeth Kostova
Psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe, devoted to his profession and the painting
hobby he loves, has a solitary but ordered life. When renowned painter
Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and
becomes his patient, Marlow finds that order destroyed. Desperate to
understand the secret that torments the genius, he embarks on a journey
that leads him into the lives of the women closest to Oliver and a
tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism.
Kostova's
masterful new novel travels from American cities to the coast of
Normandy, from the late 19th century to the late 20th, from young love
to last love. The Swan Thieves is a story of obsession, history's
losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope.-Amazon.com
