 stock image, actual book may vary When the body of an American archaeologist is found floating in the Yangzi River, Ministry of Public Security agent Liu Hulan and her husband, American attorney David Stark, are dispatched to Site 518 to investigate. As Hulan scrutinizes this death or is it a murder? David, on behalf of the National Relics Bureau, tries to discover who has stolen from the site an artifact that may prove to the world China s claim that it is the oldest uninterrupted civilization on earth. This artifact is not only an object of great monetary value but one that is emblematic of the very soul of China. Everyone from the Chinese government, to a religious cult, to an unscrupulous American art collector wants this relic, and some, it seems, may be willing to kill to get it. At stake in this investigation is control of China s history and national pride, and even stability between China and the United States. The troubled Hulan must overcome her own fears of failure, while David tries desperately to break through the shell that has built up around his wife. As Hulan and David are enmeshed in international schemes for power and the turbulence of their own relationship, these hunters after the truth become the hunted in a fast-driving narrative set against the backdrop of the building of the Three Gorges Dam, the largest and most expensive project China has undertaken since the Great Wall and the subject of great international debate. It is here, in the heart of the Three Gorges, that David and Hulan will battle their enemies and their own natures to see who will win China s dragon bones. Dragon Bones combines ancient myth with contemporary anxieties concerning religious fanaticism and terrorism to tell a story of love, betrayal, history, ecology, greed

 stock image, actual book may vary From beloved international reporter sne Seierstad comes a remarkable exploration of the lives of ordinary Serbs under the regime of Slobodan Milosevic-during the dramatic events leading up to his fall, and finally in the troubled years that have followed. Seierstad traveled extensively through Serbia between 1999 and 2004, following the lives of people from across the political spectrum. Her moving and perceptive account follows nationalists, Titoists, Yugonostalgics, rock stars, fugitives, and poets. Seierstad brings her acclaimed attention to detail to bear on the lives of those whom she encounters in With Their Backs to the World , as she creates a kaleidoscopic portrait of a nation made up of so many different-and often conflicting-hopes, dreams, and points of view.

 stock image, actual book may vary Will Self is a novelist of world-class stature, an unparalleled literary craftsman with a ferocious insight. In How the Dead Live, he gives us his best and most important book yet, an incisive and troubling dissection of the spiritual emptiness and death in our culture. Lily Bloom is an aging American in final-stage cancer in the Royal Ear Hospital in Central London. Not that there's anything wrong with her ears -- it's just the only bed they could find for her. As her two daughters buzz around her and the nurses pump her full of morphine, Lily slides in and out of consciousness, outraged that there's so little time left and so much hate still to go around. In her delirium she rails against everything, from the sins of those in the immediate proximity to the world at large, viewed through the lens of her paranoid bigotry. In the corner of the ward sits an impassive, middle-aged Aboriginal Australian man, who from time to time reminds Lily that it will be his responsibility to ferry her across the Styx, and that in lieu of a coin, he'll happily accept her dentures. How the Dead Live is an unforgettable portrait of the human struggle with mortality. In it, Will Self has given us a book that will change the way we talk about death, a novel that, like Underworld or Mason Dixon, will be a literary sensation remembered for years to come.

But he soon discovered that the dispirited girl who plodded behind her uncle's wagon was actually a captivating young woman, and as she almost literally blossomed before his eyes, he found it more and more difficult to think of her as someone he couldn't be interested in. And he couldn't be interested in her. He hadn't rescued her from her uncle, only to ruin her life, himself. He'd bought her to save her, and save her he would, no matter what it entailed..

Eleanor knows she's a mess. But today, she will tackle the little things. She will shower and get dressed. She will have her poetry and yoga lessons after dropping off her son, Timby. She won't swear. She will initiate sex with her husband, Joe. But before she can put her modest plan into action-life happens. Today, it turns out, is the day Timby has decided to fake sick to weasel his way into his mother's company. It's also the day Joe has chosen to tell his office-but not Eleanor-that he's on vacation. Just when it seems like things can't go more awry, an encounter with a former colleague produces a graphic memoir whose dramatic tale threatens to reveal a buried family secret. TODAY WILL BE DIFFERENT is a hilarious, heart-filled story about reinvention, sisterhood, and how sometimes it takes facing up to our former selves to truly begin living.

 stock image, actual book may vary Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom. Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle--and people in general--has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic. To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence--creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.

 stock image, actual book may vary The Murder of J. Edgar Hoover On May 1, 1972, J Edgar Hoover drove home after a full day's work, satisfied that another May Day had passed and, thanks to his singular effort, America had not fallen before the communist juggernaut. He had dinner with his ailing associate, Clyde Tolsen, and spent the next thirty minutes rough-housing with his dogs on the rear lawn of his suburban Washington home. He retired early. And died peacefully in his sleep. OR DID HE ? Patrick Desmond, a young architect living the good life in 1970's Boston, comes into an inheritance that hurtles him from his "yuppie" life style into the perilous world of political intrigue. A week after J. Edgar Hoover's death, Patrick's uncle--Francis X. Cavanaugh, Inspector, FBI--and another high-level bureau executive die under the most unusual circumstances. Patrick's inheritance: Inspector Cavanaugh's journal detailing deceit and betrayal at the highest levels of the United States government. AND SOMEONE WANTS THIS JOURNAL ENOUGH TO KILL FOR IT This novel touches on many of the events that fractured the social and political structure of America during the Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations and reveals that J. Edgar Hoover had more potential assassins than Abraham Lincoln. Inspector Cavanaugh is involved in investigations into the assassinations of JFK and Martin Luther King, Jr., the Black Power movement, New Orleans DA Jim Garrison's "Truth of Consequences" grand jury, religious fundamentalism, a FBI agent that might be a serial killer, a SSS board that refused to induct draftees, a FBI agent driven berserk by his wife's poodle, the cult murders of a couple and their three daughters, the torture-murder of a Black Panther member by the Ladies Auxilliary, and mass murders and deportations of young blacks by the Ku Klux Klan's secret "Silver Dollar Club." As Patrick sets off on a picaresque flight through Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington and California to solve the FBI murders and perhaps save his own life, he establishes a long queue of possible assassins including the Ku Klux Klan, Hoover's domestic staff, the FBI, the CIA, the Nixon White House, students of the New Left, Catholic priests, renegade Mormons and others.
