New bestsellers available Aug. 31
New bestselling books by Jennifer Crusie, Clive Cussler and Sara Paretsky will be available on Tuesday, AUGUST 31.
In Jennifer Crusie's new book, Maybe This Time, when Andie Miller tries to gain closure with her ex-husband, he asks one final favor of her before they go their separate ways. A distant cousin of his has died and left him as the guardian of two orphans who have driven out three nannies already. He knows Andie can handle anything and asks for her help. Andie's fiance, however, thinks this is all a plan by her ex to get Andie back, and he may be right.

The Lost Empire, by Clive Cussler, is the second entry in his Fargo Adventure series. While scuba diving in Tanzania, Sam and Remi Fargo discover a relic belonging to a Confederate ship. An anomaly about the relic sets them off chasing a mystery and a rumored second artifact. However, a Mexican political party is intent on finding that artifact as well because it contains a secret that could destroy them.

Sara Paretsky's new book, Body Work, is the 14th book in the V.I. Warshawski series. The performer known as the Body Artist works at Chicago's Club Gouge and allows her audience to use her naked body as a canvas for their illustrations. V. I. Warshawski watches as people step forward but the evening takes a strange turn when one woman's sketch triggers a outburst from a man at the club. The man - an Iraqi war vet - leaves the club and days later, the woman is shot outside the club. The police arrest the veteran and V.I. is hired by the vet's family to clear his name.
