Jane
ran the comb through her big brother’s light brown hair one final
time. She could feel the heat of his scalp beneath her fingers.
The heat always freaked her out. She kept expecting Elijah to feel
cold. Not dead cold, god no. More like refrigerated-to-keep-you-fresh
cold. Seth strode directly to the breakfast food section of the
7-Eleven and grabbed the closest box of Pop-Tarts. The flavor didn’t
matter. Then he swung around and headed to the laundry stuff. In
seconds, he found what he needed – a laundry marker, indelible ink,
the nothing-is-going-to-get-this-sucker-off kind. He carried his
two items to the cashier, paid, and returned to the car...

-
by Jordan Sonnenblick

An FBI Thriller
迫在眉睫

by Catherine Coulter
Format: 精裝, 420頁
光本書為全美暢銷作家 Catherine Coulter, FBI懸疑小說系列第十本著作.
本系列第八本BLINDSIDE (2003年8月出版), 創下紐約時報暢銷榜第2名 的記錄(僅次於達文西秘碼). 和第九本 BLOWOUT
(2004年7月出版) 也有第6名的好成績, 精裝及平裝版本在美銷售逾150萬冊. 本系列的書名及詳介...
FBI夫妻檔 Lacey Sherlock 和 Dillon Savich 經歷了探員生涯最棘手危險的案子.
一本讓您正襟危坐的懸疑小說, 作者Catherine Colte寫作生涯的一大成就.
書中主角FBI探員Dillon Savich 和同僚Dane Carver 在解救遭綁架的知名藝人Pinky
Womack時幾乎殉職. 據告密者消息, 嫌犯?身維吉尼亞 Pumis市的汽車旅館, 當他們趕到那裡時, 只見一紅色發光定時器,
隨即而來的爆炸將當地夷為平地, 所幸人員均安...
Summary
The
same snitch leads them to Arlington National Cemetery, promising
the agents Pinky's safe return. The search is interrupted when Savich
takes a fateful call on his cell. The mysterious caller taunts Savich
with other threats-against him, and against his wife, fellow agent
Lacey Sherlock. Up against an untraceable foe-not even MAX can locate
him-Savich and Sherlock find themselves fighting an unstable villain
with a very long memory.
At the same time, Agent Ruth Warnecki's passion for treasure hunting
leads her to Winkel's Cave and a cave chamber that really shouldn't
exist-as well as a dead student from Stanislaus Music School, left
there for eternity. Some students have wandered quite far from the
beaten path, with terrible consequences.
Catherine
Coulter deftly orchestrates her fast-paced, intricate story threads
and the disparate cases challenging her agents with a concertmaster's
touch in her latest FBI novel, Point Blank. Treasure hunting takes
a decidedly deadly turn for FBI agent Ruth Warniecki, who uses vacation
time to explore the dark mysteries of Winkel's Cave. There, her
hunt for Civil War gold leads to the body of music student Erin
Bushnell. Virginia sheriff Dixon Noble and his two sons rescue Ruth
from snowy death and loss of memory. Finding the murdered Erin adds
to the puzzle. The music student had no known enemies. As Ruth begins
to recall the pieces of her life, her FBI colleagues Dillon Savich
and his wife Sherlock arrive to aid her investigations. They face
their own puzzle as they juggle helping Ruth with trying to capture
Dillon's personal tormenters, Moses Grace and Claudia, whose terrorist
assaults may threaten national security.

About the Author
作者Catherine Coulter著作等身,
約有小說作品50多本, 其中38本曾登上紐約時報暢銷書榜. 作者於懸疑驚悚及羅曼史兩大小說領域遊刃有餘.
She
earned her reputation writing historical romances, but in recent
years turned her hand to penning—with great success— contemporary
suspense novels. The Cove spent nine weeks on The New York Times
paperback bestseller list and sold more than one million copies.
The Maze was Coulter's first book to land on The New York Times
hardcover bestseller list. A review of The Maze in Publisher's Weekly
stated that it "was gripping enough to establish Coulter firmly
in this genre." Coulter continues to live up to that promise
with her subsequent New York Times bestselling FBI thrillers The
Target, The Edge, Riptide, and Hemlock Bay. Her newest FBI thriller,
Eleventh Hour, will be released in the summer 2002.
Catherine
Coulter's first novel, The Autumn Countess, was published at the
end of 1978 when she had just reached puberty. It was a Regency
romance because, as she says, "as any publisher will tell you,
it's best to limit the unknowns in a first book, and not only had
I grown up reading Georgette Heyer, but I earned my M.A. degree
in 19th century European history."
Following
The Autumn Countess (a Gothic masquerading as a Regency, she says),
Catherine wrote six more Regency romances. In 1982, she published
her first long historical, Devil's Embrace. She has continued to
write long historicals, interspersing them with hardcover contemporary
novels, beginning with False Pretenses in 1988.
She
pioneered the trilogy in historical romance, each of them very popular.
They include: Song, Star, Magic, Night, Bride, Viking, and Legacy
trilogies. She enjoys trilogies because she doesn't have to say
good-bye to the characters and neither do the readers.
Catherine
grew up on a horse ranch in Texas. She graduated from the University
of Texas and received her masters at Boston College. Prior to becoming
a full-time writer, she worked on Wall Street as a speechwriter
for a company president. She loves to travel and ski, reads voraciously,
and has a reputation for telling jokes—believing the publishing
business is too crazy not to laugh. Catherine lives in Marin County,
California with her physician husband.

愛我的步槍勝於你：
美國軍隊裡的年輕女性
-
by Kayla Williams
本書以回憶錄的形式，報導女性在美國軍隊中殘忍又真實的一面。
女性在美軍裡只佔百分之十五，Kayla Williams，一個聰明、有魅力 又自主的年輕女孩隸屬於該特殊環境裡少數群體。她同時擅長講故事，將個人的軍旅生涯以輕鬆有趣、誠實、直言不諱的敘述形式，暢談個人如何受徵召入伍，如何被分發去學阿拉伯語文並派駐到中東地區，和巴基斯坦男友交往分手，阿拉伯電視媒體如何報導911事件，最後被派駐到伊拉克。在派駐伊拉克的那段時間，Williams
親身經歷人性在極端情況下勇敢與偏執、力量與怯懦、性別歧視與忠誠的一面，她面臨死亡，親眼目睹士兵被嚴刑拷問，她和當地人作朋友，卻在戰爭中竟然舉槍瞄準一名伊拉克小孩，Williams的故事對提供了美國女大兵前所未有，毫無保留的觀點和描述...
Summary
This
groundbreaking book is a gripping account of what it is like to
be a woman soldier, from basic training through to combat. Whether
competing against male soldiers in fitness trials or attempting
to navigate the complex sexual politics that arise in an army comprised
of 13% women, Kayla greets the challenge with grit and a healthy
dose of attitude—her voice literally zings off the page. But what
makes this especially arresting reading is that she is enormously
frank – about the obvious incompetence of her superiors, about
romance within the ranks, and about American soldiers’ uncomfortable
day-to-day interactions with Iraqis.

Hunger’s
Brides
饑餓新娘
-
edited by Paul Anderson
Format: 平裝, 1,360頁, 2005年7月出版
被New York Times 8月23號書評評為”A Book to Read Carefully, With a Physical
Therapist Near”(“一本需要有復健師在身邊、小心閱讀的書”) ，HUNGER’S BRIDES篇幅長達1,360頁、重約2公斤重，可說是今秋最”重量級”的小說，加拿大作者Paul
Anderson花費了12年時間才完成這本小說。本書以17世紀墨西哥的詩人修女Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz為主題，書中不僅有小說敘事文體，同時也以詩、戲劇、書信、邊註等形式呈現，該書編輯稱之謂小說創作的「巴洛克」風華...
Summary
TAn
epic novel of genius and obsession — apocalyptic, lyrical and erotically
charged. Spanning three centuries and two cultures, Hunger’s Brides
brings to vivid life the greatest Spanish poet of her time, Sor
Juana Ines de la Cruz, and plumbs a mystery that has intrigued writers
as diverse as Robert Graves, Diane Ackerman, Eduardo Galeano and
Nobel laureate Octavio Paz. Why did a writer of such gifts silence
herself?
At
the time of her death in 1695, Juana Ines de la Cruz was arguably
the greatest writer working in any European tongue, yet she had
never set foot in Europe. Instead she was born among the descendants
of the Aztec empire, in the shadow of the mountain pass Cortes and
his troops descended on their advance to Montezuma’s capital. A
child prodigy from a barbarous wilderness, her beauty and wit provoked
a sensation at the viceregal court in Mexico City. But at the age
of nineteen, still a favourite of the court, Juana entered a convent,
and from that point her life unfolded between the mystery of her
sudden flight from palace to cloister, and the enigma of her final
vow of silence, signed in blood. After a quarter-century of graceful,
often sensuous poetry, plays and theological argument, Sor Juana
chose silence, which she maintained until she died of plague at
the age of forty-five.
Drawing
on chronicles of the conquest and histories of the Inquisition,
myth cycles and archeological studies, ancient poetry and early
Spanish accounts of blood sacrifice, Hunger’s Brides is a mammoth
work of inspired historical fiction framed in a contemporary mystery.
In the dead of a Calgary winter night, a man escapes from an apartment
in which a young woman lies bleeding — in his arms he clutches
a box he has found on her table addressed to him. He is Donald Gregory,
a once-respected, now-disgraced, academic. She is Beulah Limosneros,
one of his students, and for a brief time his lover. Brilliant,
erratic, voracious, she had disappeared two years earlier in Mexico,
following the thread of her growing obsession with Sor Juana. Over
the ensuing days and weeks, as a police investigation closes in
around him, Gregory pieces together the contents of the box she
has left him: a poetic journal of her travel in Mexico, diaries,
research notes, unposted letters, and a strange manuscript — part
biography, part novel — on Sor Juana.
Hunger’s
Brides is a dramatic unveiling of three intimate journeys: a man’s
forced march to self-knowledge, a great poet’s withdrawal from
the world, and a profane mystic’s pilgrimage into modern Mexico,
in which the bones of the past constantly poke through a present
built on the ruins of the vanquished.
