Greg Iles's novels have been praised for their unusual depth of characterization and complexity of plot, and The Quiet Game was no exception. Reviewers called it "beautifully crafted" (The Providence Sunday Journal), "heartbreakingly honest" (Cleveland Plain Dealer), and simply "a grand thriller with a wonderful Southern seasoning" (The Orange County Register). In 24 Hours, Iles takes readers on a daringly executed roller-coaster ride with enough twists and surprises to last a lifetime.

24 Hours begins with the perfect family. On the perfect night. About to become trapped in the perfect crime. Will Jennings is a successful young doctor in Jackson, Mississippi, with a thriving practice, a beautiful wife, and a five-year-old daughter he loves beyond measure. But Will and his family are being watched by a con man and psychopath who may be a genius. A man who has crafted the unbeatable crime. A man who has never been caught and whose victims have never talked to the police. A man whose life's work strikes at the heart of every family's unspoken fear: the unstoppable kidnapping.

But this man has never met the likes of Will and Karen Jennings.

It's gray, gritty early spring in the midsize Midwestern city that is the setting for Scott Turow's spellbinding book, already widely hailed as the most brilliant novel about lawyers and the law to appear in many years. Rusty Sabich, Kindle County's longtime chief deputy prosecutor, has been asked to investigate the rape and murder of one of his colleagues. Carolyn Polhemus was strong, sensuous, and magnetic; she was also clearly ambitious and quite possibly unscrupulous. Her murder has been an embarassment to Rusty's boss, Raymond horgan, who is facing a serious challenge in the upcoming election and who looks to Rusty for a fast solution to the case that will help save him politically. What Horgan doesn't know is that, only a few months before she was murdered, Carolyn Polhemus and Rusty Sabich were lovers.Rusty is a passionate, brooding, fundamentally lonely man. As he nears forty, both his marriage and his career seem to be stagnating. His feelings are focused on his love for his son, Nat, and his desperate, enduring fantasies about Carolyn, who had abruptly ended their affair six months ago. Rusty's investigation allows him to indulge relentlessly in his obsession, but he apparently makes little progress in finding the killer. Then, when Horgan loses the election, Rusty suddenly, incredibly, finds himself accused of Carolyn's murder. (less...)

CHOSEN Submitted for your approval: Vince Hansen, a man at the end of his rope. He's lost his job, his girl, his self-respect-and, as we first meet him, his credit cards. The world is not a place that treats him kindly, but he's determined to get his life back on track... if only the odds didn't seem so stacked against him. So when a GQ-type couple named Michael and Muriel show up like insistent Jehovah's Witnesses at his door one day, telling him he's "chosen," Vince tells them to get lost-even though they seem to know far too much about him... But later, when people in his neighborhood-like his best friend, Speed-start disappearing in a blaze of light, and his ex-girlfriend tells him he should join them, Vince starts to suspect Michael and Muriel might be part of an alien invasion. He'swrong, though-they're actually angels sent to save the "chosen" from the nuclear Armageddon about to happen. Vince discovers the truth too late; however-and is left behind to await the end of the world.THE PLACEBO EFFECT Dr. Leslie Coburn is the living embodiment of the term "caregiver": knowledgeable, kindhearted, understanding. But even she has her limits when it comes to treating Harry Raditch, a textbook case of a hypochondriac if ever there was one. Unfortunately, Harry's latest visit to her office involves an incurable disease he's actually contracted-from reading a science-fiction novel, of all things. It seems that Harry's overactive imagination has turned a fictional ailment into an all-too-real plague that threatens to wipe out everyone on the planet. Leslie's solution is to cure Harry's fictional disease with an equally fictional cure-a placebo created from the residue of "meteors" that she says crashed during the night. The cure works, but Harry gets so worked up about the talk of meteors that his imagination works overtime in manifesting his worst fear: an Earth ravaged by meteor strikes-and the onset of a new Ice Age. . . ..

Alexandra Deford, a precious and precocious girl, was just eight years old when she died in 1980 following a battle against the debilitating effects of cystic fibrosis, the number-one genetic killer of children. Her poignant and uplifting story touched the hearts of millions when it was first published and then made into a memorable television movie. A new introduction contains information on the latest cystic fibrosis research, and a touching postcript reveals how the Deford family came to terms with the loss of Alex. Whenever he speaks, sportswriter Frank Deford knows people will bring articles for him to sign. But what makes him happiest is when someone attends a sports-oriented lecture and brings a copy of Alex: The Life of a Child for him to sign. "Invariably, and happily, there's usually someone at each appearance who either brings that book or wants to talk about their connection to cystic fibrosis." Deford says. "It's tremendously gratifying to me. Rarely does a week go by that I don't get a letter about that book. People leave things at her grave. They really do. I have people tell me that she changed their lives. It's terribly dramatic, but they literally say that. I heard from a woman who became a pediatric nurse after reading the book. Hearing from people like that means more to me than anything." (less...)
