THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
BABIAK, TODD
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Entirely unlike anything Todd Babiak has written before, The South of France is a riveting novel about murder,
revenge, love, loyalty and loss. The driving plot, in which a bereft husband and father races to save his wife from
a family of killers, is perfectly balanced by moments of surprising power and intimacy. Christopher Kruse has
come to France with his wife and daughter to become a better man- to escape his past as a high-priced security
agent. When death comes crashing into their newly idyllic life, however, he's forced to fire up old instincts to
protect his wife and unravel a tangle of political loyalties that reach all the way to the highest office of the country.

THE SPACE BETWEEN US
HART, MEGAN
Tesla Martin is drifting pleasantly through life, slinging lattes at Morningstar Mocha, enjoying the ebb and flow of
caffeine-starved customers, devoted to her cadre of regulars. But none of the bottomless-cup crowd compares
with Meredith, a charismatic force of nature who can coax intimate tales from even the shyest of Morningstar's
clientele. Caught in Meredith's sensual, irresistible orbit, inexpressibly flattered by the siren's intoxicating
attention, Tesla shares long-buried chapters of her life, holding nothing back. Nothing Meredith proposes seems
impossible-not even sleeping with her husband, Charlie, while she looks on. After all, it's all in fun, isn't it? In a
heartbeat, vulnerable Tesla is swept into a willing and spectacular love triangle. Together, gentle, grounded
Charlie and sparkling, maddening Meredith are everything Tesla has ever needed, wanted or even dreamed of,
even if no one else on earth understands.

SPARTACUS: REBELLION
KANE, BEN
The mighty slave army, led by Spartacus, has carried all before it, scattering the legions of Rome. Three
praetors, two consuls and one proconsul have been defeated. Spartacus seems invincible as he marches
towards the Alps and freedom. But storm clouds are massing on the horizon. Crixus the Gaul defects, taking all
his men with him. Crassus, the richest man in Rome, begins to raise a formidable army, tasked specifically with
the defeat of Spartacus. And within the slave army itself, there are murmurings of dissent and rebellion.
Spartacus, on the brink of glory, must make a crucial decision -- to go forward over the Alps to freedom, or back
to face the might of Rome and try to break its stranglehold on power forever.
