New bestsellers by Anita Shreve and Patricia Cornwell will be available on Tuesday, NOVEMBER 30.
In Rescue, by Shreve, a rookie paramedic pulls a young woman alive from her totaled car. Sheila Arsenault is streetwise and tough-talking with a never-look-back determination. Peter Webster falls for her instantly. Soon Sheila and Peter are married and have a baby daughter. Eighteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Peter is raising their daughter, Rowan, alone. But Rowan is veering dangerously off track. Sheila's sudden return may be a godsend--or it may be exactly the wrong moment.
Port Mortuary, by Cornwell, is the 18th book in the Kay Scarpetta series. As the chief of the new Cambridge Forensic Center in Massachusetts, Scarpetta is confronted with a case that could shut down her new facility and ruin her personally and professionally. A young man drops dead, apparently from a cardiac arrhythmia, close to Scarpetta's new Cambridge home. But when his body is examined, there are indications that he may have been alive when he was zipped inside a pouch and locked inside the Center's cooler. Various 3-D scans reveal more shocking details about internal injuries unlike any Scarpetta has ever seen. She must race against time to discover who is behind this death and why before more people die.
