STARRED REVIEWS ADRENALINE by Jeff Abbott is poised to be a breakout thriller of the summer. Publisher's Weekly explains in this starred review: "Edgar-finalist Abbott's outstanding tale of high intrigue set primarily in London and Amsterdam, the first in a series, introduces Sam Capra, a London-based CIA agent. Abbott (Panic), displaying a greater mastery of the genre than in previous books, hits full stride early on and never lets up. Readers who thrive on a relentless narrative pace and a straight line to the finish won't be disappointed." Fiction/Thrillers Grand Central Publishing, Hardcover, ISBN 9780446575171, $24.99 Also available in Audio   TAMED BY A HIGHLANDER is the third book in Paula Quinn's brand new and sinfully sexy Scottish medieval romance series about the MacGregor clan. "Quinn's third Children of the Mist installment (after 2010's Ravished by a Highlander and Seduced by a Highlander) is another winning mix of fascinating history and lush romance. Readers will be captivated by the meticulously accurate historical detail (including cameos by various famous figures) and Connor and Mairi's searing passion." —Publisher's Weekly Historical Romance Forever, Mass Market, ISBN 9780446552363, $7.99 FLASHBACK by Dan Simmons is a thriller set in the near future of a bankrupt America whose population is besotted by flashback, a drug that allows its users to relive the best moments of their lives.  Publisher's Weekly raves, "Simmons makes some logical if depressing extrapolations from current political and economic developments in this outstanding mystery thriller set in a near-future dystopic United States. Simmons keeps the action moving briskly and smoothly, despite the novel's length."

"Journalist Rotella (Twilight on the Line) explores the hot-button issue of immigration with its political, social, and emotional ramifications in his superb fiction debut. Unflinching views of a double agent's harrowing life, a violence-drenched Mexican jail, and the wild border areas complement the provocative plot."—Publisher's Weekly Fiction/Thriller Mulholland Books, Hardcover, ISBN 9780316105309, $24.99 THE RIDGE is a new supernatural thriller from international bestseller Michael Koryta: a man discovers a deadly force that has plagued an idyllic town for over a century.

Mystery readers, supernatural thriller lovers, and horror buffs who can live without gore will all appreciate Koryta's latest effort." —Library Journal Fiction/Thriller Little, Brown & Co, Hardcover, ISBN 9780316053662, $27.99 Also available in Audio and Large Print   In DAVID BOWIE: STARMAN Paul Trynka illuminates Bowie's seemingly contradictory life and his many reinventions as an artist, offering over 300 new interviews with everyone from classmates to managers to lovers. Library Journal notes, "We seem to be in the golden age of David Bowie biographies; recent books by Marc Spitz (Bowie) and Kevin Cann (David Bowie: Any Day Now) are excellent, but Trynka's contribution is something special. . . This is a terrific book, and readers will be rushing to relisten to the artist's back catalog. Not to be missed."
