his father on the island of Martha's Vineyard, it is taking all of Adam
Blaine's will to suture the deep wounds the tragedy has inflicted upon his
family and himself. As the court inquest into Benjamin Blaine's death casts
suspicions on those closest to him, Adam struggles to protect them from those
who still suspect that his father was murdered by one of his kin. But the
sternest test of all is Adam's proximity to Carla Pacelli his late father's
mistress; and a woman who, despite being pivotal to his family's plight, Adam
finds himself increasingly drawn to. The closer he gets to this beautiful,
mysterious woman, the further Adam feels from his troubles. Yet the closer he
also comes to revealing the secrets he's strived to conceal, and condemning the
people he's so hard fought to protect. This is a complex family drama pulsing
with the tumult of the time and dripping with summer diversions, youthful
passion and ideals, class tensions, and familial disruptions. Check Availability

Sight Unseen by Iris and Roy Johansen: She was safe in a world of darkness. Now danger threatens in
the cold light of day...Before the experimental surgery that gave her sight,
Kendra Michaels developed her other senses to an amazing capacity. Now she can
identify a Nissan by the sound of its engine, a Norelco electric razor by the
pattern of stubble it leaves behind, or an obscure colorless fire accelerant by
its sweet smell. Law enforcement agencies clamor for her rare powers of
perception and observation, too often disrupting the life she has built helping
others through music therapy. Because so very often, only Kendra can get the
job done. But in this case, it's Kendra who first realizes that the apparent
traffic accident on San Diego's historic Cabrillo Bridge is in fact a murder
scene, and she rushes to alert the police before crucial evidence is destroyed.
As the body count rises and one murder unveils another, a gruesome pattern
emerges. Someone is killing people in ways that mirror Kendra's most notorious
cases. She has a fan: someone who admires her work and is twisted enough to
show that admiration through murder--while naming himself after the biggest art
forger of the 20th century. He views himself not as a monster but as an artist.
And he is not working alone. As the darkness closes in, near enough to touch
Kendra and those she loves, Kendra must come face to face with her greatest
fears--and her most ruthless enemy. A man who moves through the shadows, a man
she may even know, who hides behind the mask of sanity, sight unseen. Check Availability
