We have added a new library book by the renowned author STUART WOODS.  It is titled “SANTA FE EDGE”.

From the seamy prisons of Mexico to the glamorous movie sets of L.A. and the lush and exclusive resorts of Sante Fe, Ed Eagle and his team of private detectives must hunt or be hunted. . .

Ed Eagle — the six-foot-seven, take-no-prisoners Sante Fe attorney — is no stranger to murder, corruption, organized crime — both north and south of the border.  His home in Sante Fe, a picturesque desert town where the wealthy enjoy the good life, seems like a welcome retreat from the grit and crime of big cities.

But looks can be deceiving.

A puzzling murder in a golfer’s hacienda brings in a new client for Ed, but while his time is spent unreaveling a complex web of sex, money, and false identity, a much more dangerous threat lurks.

A ruthless and implacable enemy who has proved more than a match for him in the past has returned to Santa Fe, and this time she wants nothing less than an all-out retribution.

We have added the NY TIMES bestseller “IN THE WOODS” to the 610 Clematis Street library.

The debut novel of an astonishing new voice in psychological suspense.

In Tana French’s powerful debut thriller, three children leave their small Dublin neighborhood to play in the surrounding woods.  Hours later, their mothers’ calls go unanswered.  When the police arrive, they find only one of the children, gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours.

Twenty years later, Detective Rob Ryan — the found boy, who has kept his past a secret — and his partner Cassie Maddox investigate the murder of a twelve-year-old girl in the same woods.  Now, with only snippets of long-buried memories to guide him, Ryan has the chance to uncover both the mystery of the case before him, and that of his own shadowy past.

Tough reading but the ending is enlightening.
