The Eyes of Texas by William Johnstone (Western)
The son of a legend. Heir to the Western wilderness. Mountain Man Matt Jensen has come to the most dangerous town in Texas…
Big War In Shady Rest
Shady
Rest, Texas, has the dubious reputation for being the deadliest town in
America. Getting yourself killed is as easy as blinking and twice as
quick. Sure enough, Matt Jensen hasn’t swallowed his whisky before the
town’s marshal is gunned down before his eyes. Matt defends himself by
putting two bullets in the shooter’s chest, unaware that he’s in line
for a $5,000 bounty—as long as he stays in Shady Rest to collect it. And
staying gets even more tempting when a red haired beauty decides to be
the next town marshal…
Annabel O’Callahan is a dressmaker with a
secret weapon—no hard case or gunslinger worth his salt will gun down a
lady. Almost overnight, Shady Rest becomes a model of law and order. But
the man Matt killed has a whole passel of friends and family—the
killing kind, man or woman—headed to Shady Rest for revenge. Now the
dressmaker and the mountain man must join forces. Two against a small
army. And the deadliest shootout Shady Rest has ever seen.

Six Years by Harlan Coben
Six years have passed
since Jake Sanders watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another
man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his
career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave
Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her
new husband, Todd.
But six years haven’t come close to
extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd’s obituary,
he can’t keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse
of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for . . . but she is not Natalie. Whoever the
mourning widow is, she’s been married to Todd for more than a decade,
and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time
of his life—a time he has never gotten over—is turned completely inside
out.
As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect
memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple
either can’t be found or don’t remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in
years. Jake’s search for the woman who broke his heart—and who lied to
him—soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he
has become may be based on carefully constructed fiction.
Nano by Robin Cook
After a tumultuous year
in which her mentor is murdered and her estranged father comes back into
her life, Pia Grazdani, the embattled medical student from Death Benefit,
decides to take a year off from her medical studies and escape New York
City. Intrigued by the promise of the burgeoning field of medical
technology and the chance to clear her head, Pia takes a job at Nano,
LLC, a lavishly funded, security-conscious nanotechnology insititute in
the picturesque foothills of the Rockies. Nano, LLC is ahead of the
curve in the competitive world of molecular manufacturing, including the
construction of microbivores, tiny nano-robots with the ability to
gobble up viruses and bacteria.
But the corporate campus is a
place of secrets. She's warned by her boss not to investigate the other
work being done at the gigantic facility, nor to ask questions about the
source of the seemingly endless capital that funds the institute's
research. And when Pia encounters a fellow employee on a corporate
jogging path, suffering the effects of a seizure, she soon realizes she
may have literally stumbled upon Nano LLC's human guinea pigs. Is the
tech giant on the cusp of one of the biggest medical discoveries of the
twenty-first century—a treatment option for millions—or have they
already sold out to the highest bidder?

Political Suicide by Michael Palmer
Dr. Lou Welcome, from Palmer's bestselling Oath of Office,
is back in this heart stopping medical thriller. A desperate phone call
embroils Lou in scandal and murder involving Dr. Gary McHugh, known
around the Capital as the “society doc.” Lou has been supervising
McHugh, formerly a black-out drinker, through his work with the
Physician Wellness Office. McHugh has been very cavalier about his
recovery, barely attending AA and refusing a sponsor. But Lou sees
progress, and the two men are becoming friends. Now, McHugh has been
found unconscious in his wrecked car after visiting a patient of his,
the powerful Congressman Elias Colston, Chairman of the House Armed
Services Committee. Soon after McHugh awakens in the hospital ER,
Colston's wife returns home to find her husband shot dead in their
garage. She then admits to the police that she had just broken off a
long-standing affair with McHugh.
Something about McHugh's story
has Lou believing he is telling the truth, that the Congressman was dead
when he arrived and before he blacked out. Lou agrees to look into
matters, but when he encounters motive, method and opportunity he is
hard pressed to believe in his friend—that is until a deadly high-level
conspiracy begins to unravel, and Lou acquires information that makes
him the next target.
