Trader of Secrets, by Steve Martini, is the 12th book in the Paul Madriani series. Defense attorney Paul Madriani is involved in a case that involves an angry killer who will stop at nothing short of vengeance, and two missing NASA scientists who are holding secrets that a hostile government desperately wants to purchase. In addition, Madriani's daughter, Sarah, has evaded the man known as Liquida, who has stalked her all the way across the country. She is being kept under armed guard on a farm in Ohio but one morning, Sarah slips from her ring of protection. What she doesn't know is that her assailant is outside, waiting in the dark. Madriani, his companion Joselyn Cole, and his law partner, Harry Hinds, track Liquida, not knowing that their quest will carry them deep into the vortex of international terror.
Dreams of Joy, by Lisa See, continues the story of sisters Pearl and May from Shanghai Girls, and Pearl's strong-willed 19-year-old daughter, Joy. Joy runs away to Shanghai in early 1957 to find her birth father - the artist Z.G. Li, with whom both May and Pearl were once in love. Dazzled by him, and blinded by idealism, Joy throws herself into the New Society of Red China, heedless of the dangers in the communist regime. Terrified for Joy's safety, Pearl is determined to save her daughter. From the crowded cities to remote villages, Pearl confronts almost surmountable challenges as she follows Joy. Yet even as Joy's and Pearl's separate journeys converge, one of the most tragic episodes in China's history threatens their lives.
