Redhead by the Side of the Road <\/em>by\nAnne Tyler:<\/strong> Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. But one day his routines\nare blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late\nthirties a “girlfriend”) tells him she’s facing eviction, and a\nteenager shows up at Micah’s door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and\nthe ways they throw Micah’s meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk\nchanging him forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crooked River <\/em>by Douglas\nPreston:<\/strong> Appearing out of nowhere to horrify the quiet resort town of\nSanibel Island, Florida, dozens of identical, ordinary-looking shoes float in\non the tide and are washed up on the tropical beach–each one with a crudely\nsevered human foot inside. Called away from vacation elsewhere in the state,\nAgent Pendergast reluctantly agrees to visit the crime scene–and, despite\nhimself, is quickly drawn in by the incomprehensible puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chosen Ones <\/em>by Veronica Roth:<\/strong>\nFifteen years ago, five ordinary teenagers were singled out by a prophecy to\ntake down an impossibly powerful entity wreaking havoc across North America. On\nthe tenth anniversary of the Dark One\u2019s defeat, something unthinkable happens:\none of the Chosen Ones dies. When the others gather for the funeral, they\ndiscover the Dark One\u2019s ultimate goal was much bigger than they, the\ngovernment, or even prophecy could have foretold\u2014bigger than the world itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, Holly finds herself drawn back into a\nworld she’s worked to move on from – but one that leads her on remarkable\njourney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenwood <\/em>by Michael Christie:\n<\/strong>Christie has crafted multigenerational story of the forest dwelling\nGreenwood family, spanning from 1934 to 2034. Throughout there are trees:\nthrumming a steady, silent pulse beneath Christie’s effortless sentences and\nworking as a guiding metaphor for withering, weathering, and survival.\nGreenwood is a rain-soaked and sun-dappled story of the bonds and breaking points\nof money and love, wood and blood–and the hopeful, impossible task of growing\ntoward the light<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masked Prey <\/em>by John Sandford:<\/strong>\nOna blog are pictures of the children of influential Washington politicians,\nwalking or standing outside their schools, each identified by name. Surrounding\nthe photos are texts of vicious political rants from a motley variety of\nradical groups. It’s obviously alarming–is there an unstable extremist\ntracking the loved ones of powerful politicians with deadly intent? With\nnowhere else to turn, influential Senators decide to call in someone who can\noperate outside the FBI’s constraints: Lucas Davenport.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim\nhas ties to a sophisticated hacking operation — and also to the mayor’s\nmissing daughter, Natalie, a twenty-one-year-old computer prodigy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
