Diversified Publishing The Frozen River A GMA Book Club Pick
Book SynopsisFrom New York Times bestselling author of I Was Anastasia and Code Name Helene comes a gripping historical mystery based on the real-life diary entries of Martha Ballard, an 18th-century midwife who found herself at the center of a murder trial.Maine, 1789: As a midwife in the town of Hallowell, Martha Ballard knows how to keep a secret. Her neighbors respect her not only for her medical expertise and calm under pressure, but for her discretion in a community governed by rigid Puritan values. So when a man is found under the ice in the Kennebec river, Martha is the first person called to examine the body.The dead man is Joshua Burgess, recently accused, along with the town judge, Joseph North, of raping the preacher''s wife, Rebecca Foster. The case is set to go to trial in the coming months and Hallowell is churning with rumors. Martha, having tended to Rebecca?s wounds in the aftermath, is both a witness and a confidant of Rebecca?s, and while she feels certain she knows the truth of the night of the assault, she suspects there is more to the murder than meets the eye.For years, Martha has recounted her every day in a leather-bound journal: deaths and births, the weather, town events, her patients and their treatments. As whispers and prejudices threaten to overflow into something bloodier, and North becomes more desperate to clear his name, Martha?s diary becomes the center of a mystery that risks tearing both her family and her town apart.In The Frozen River, Ariel Lawhon brings to life a brave and compassionate unsung heroine of early American history, who refused to accept anything less than justice on behalf of women no one else would protect.

Little, Brown Book Group Southern Cross Andy Brazil Book 2
Book SynopsisJudy Hammer has accepted the challenge of Richmond, Virginia''s police department to try and reverse the escalating crime statistics in the city. She brings with her Deputy Chief Virginia West and Andy Brazil, now a full-time police officer. They find a lot of things they are all too familiar with - teenage gangs, a rash of robberies at cash dispensers, street corner drug-dealing, racial tensions, too many people with too many guns and a cardiac inducing lack of parking spaces. They also meet resentment from the established police force and over-high expectations from the city''s institutions. Then a computer virus crashes the police computer, freezing their screens with a design of blue fish, and the same blue fish appears on the statue of Jefferson Davis, which a graffiti artist has turned into a black basketball player and a gang called the Pikes claim it is their symbol, which also has links to the robberies. In an incredibly fast-moving police procedural Patricia Cornwell taTrade ReviewCornwell peels off every layer of this taut society in a careering crime drama that is full of suspense and excitement and has a shaft of humanity beneath the tough talk and the wisecracks. * GOOD HOUSEKEEPING *some very fine comic scenes. * DAILY TELEGRAPH *this highly entertaining confection shows Cornwell clearly has more than one string to her bow. * IRELAND ON SUNDAY *Always a winner. * NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE CHRONICLE *

Little, Brown Book Group Isle Of Dogs Andy Brazil
Book SynopsisIsle of Dogs is the final book in the Andy Brazil series, following the success of Hornet''s Nest and Southern Cross, from bestselling author Patricia Cornwell.Chaos breaks loose when the Governor of Virginia orders that speed traps be installed on all streets and highways, and warns that motorists will be caught by monitoring aircraft flying overhead. But the eccentric inhabitants of Tangier, fourteen miles off the coast of Virginia in the Chesapeake Bay, respond by threatening to secede and set up an independent state, claiming that their independence lies in the history of America''s first settlers, those who set sail from London''s Isle of Dogs in 1607. Judy Hammer, newly installed as the superintendent of Virginia State Police, and Andy Brazil, state trooper and Hammer''s right hand confidant, find themselves at their wit''s end as they try to protect the public from the politician''s and vice versa in this pitch-perfect, darkly comiTrade ReviewCornwell's humour is as unexpected as it is wicked. * DAILY MIRROR *an irreverant and strikingly characterised portrait of law enforcement at the mercy of politics. * CRIME TIME *A unique, often hilarious experience. * IRISH TATLER *Be aware: this is not your typical Cornwell novel. Not only is there no Kay Scarpetta, but Isle of Dogs is a comic romp, a real departure for this author. It centres around a couple of characters from past books--police chief Judy Hammer and reporter-turn * Nicholas H Allison, Amazon.com *
