Dominance
Will Lavender - $25.00
Fifteen years earlier. Jasper College
is buzzing with the news that famed
literature professor Richard Aldiss
will be teaching a special night class
called Unraveling a Literary
Mystery - from a video feed in his
prison cell. In 1982, Aldiss was convicted
of the murders of two female
grad students; the women were
killed with axe blows and their bodies
decorated with the novels of
notoriously reclusive author Paul
Fallows. Even the most obsessive
Fallows scholars have never seen
him. He is like a ghost. Aldiss en -
treats the students of his night class
to solve the Fallows riddle once and
for all. The author's two published
novels, The Coil and The Golden
16
Silence, are considered maps to
finding Fallows's true identity. And
the only way in is to master them
through a game called the Proce -
dure. You may not know when the
game has begun, but when you
receive an invitation to play, it is an
invitation to join the elite ranks of
Fallows scholars. Failure, in these
circles, is a fate worse than death.
Soon, members of the night class
will be invited to play along . . .
Present day. Harvard professor Alex
Shipley made her name as a member
of Aldiss's night class. She not only
exposed the truth of Paul Fallows's
identity, but in the process uncovered
information that acquitted
Aldiss of the heinous 1982 crimes.
When one of her fellow night class
alums is murdered…the body chop -
ped up with an axe and surrounded
by Fallows novels…can she use
what she knows about Fallows and
the Procedure to stop a killer before
each of her former classmates is
picked off, one by one?

with a trip to The Haven, a health
spa on the California coast. She and
her cat Prozac are eager to hit the
road. Upon their arrival, she discovers
that this is just a fat farm in disguise;
complete with celery-juice
cocktails, humiliating weigh-ins,
and a zero-tolerance position on
carbs. As she gets to know her fellow
inmates, she realizes 300-calorie
dinners aren’t the craziest thing
she’ll be dealing with. Among her

Mallory Fran cis, a B-list movie star
with a knack for making frenemies
with everyone she meets. She’s
found strangled during a seaweed
wrap gone awry. Jaine is hardpressed
to think of anyone who
couldn’t have done it. Perhaps it
was Kendra, Mallory’s bitter sisterslash-personal
assistant. Maybe
Clint, a macho former co-star
whose dirtiest secret is in danger of
being undressed in the drama
queen’s upcoming memoir. Or was
it The Havens’ masseuse, driven to
commit a crime of passion when
Mallory seduced her aerobics
instructor husband Sven? With the
suspects mounting, Jaine doesn’t
know whom to believe. When her
search for truth and justice, leads
her straight to the killer, it seems
murder may be on the menu again.
Lassiter - Jake Lassiter 8
Paul Levine - $25.00
Jake Lassiter, second-string linebacker

cynical about the law, but if you hire
him, he’ll take a punch for you and
maybe a swing at the prosecutor,

involvement in the disappearance of
her sister 18 years earlier. What
does Lassiter know about Krista
Larkin, the runaway teen turned
porn actress? More than he’s saying.
Seeking to atone for his own past,
Lassiter follows the cold trail of the
missing Krista and butts head with
the powerful men who also knew
her: a former porn king turned philanthropist,
a slick Cuban-born
prosecutor who’d love to be governor,
and an aging mobster who once
worked for the infamous Meyer
Lansky. The evidence leads to a
long-ago night of kinky sex, designer
drugs and possible murder. But
before Lassiter can nail the truth, a
gun goes off, a suspect falls dead,
and Amy is charged with murder. The
state has an eyewitness and a slamdunk
case. Lassiter has a client he
doesn’t trust and a case he can’t win.
Did Amy shoot the man who killed
her sister? Or the wrong man? And
what really happened to Krista?

to run alcohol guns wherever the

ugly side-effects. Becoming
legit is easier said than done, and
Cly’s first legal gig, a supply run for
the Seattle Underground, will be paid
for by sap money. New Orleans is not
Cly’s first pick for a shopping run. He
loved the Big Easy once, back when
he loved a prostitute named Jose -
phine Early, but that was a decade
ago, and he hasn’t looked back since.
Jo’s still thinking about him, though,
or so he learns when he gets a tele -
gram about a peculiar piloting job.
It’s a chance to complete 2 lucrative
jobs at once, one he can’t refuse. He
sends his old paramour a note and
heads for New Orleans, with no idea
of what he’s in for or what she wants
him to fly. He won’t be flying. Not
exactly. Hidden at the bottom of Lake
Pontchartrain is an astonishing war
machine…an immense submersible
called the Ganymede. This prototype
could end the war, if only anyone had
the faintest idea of how to operate
it…could sneak it past the Southern
forces at the mouth of the Mississippi
River…and it hadn’t killed most of
the men who’d ever set foot inside it.
But it’s those “if onlys” that will
decide whether Cly and his crew will
end up in the history books, or at the
bottom of the ocean.

The Big Switch -
War That Came Early 3
Harry Turtledove - $27.00
What if Neville Chamberlain,
instead of appeasing Hitler, had
stood up to him in 1938? Enraged,
Hitler reacts by lashing out at the
West, promising his soldiers that
they will reach Paris by the new
year. They don’t. Three years later,
his genocidal apparatus not fully in
place, Hitler has barely survived a
coup, while Jews cling to survival.
But England and France wonder
whether the war is still worthwhile.
Weaving together a cast of characters
that ranges from a brawling
American fighter in the Abraham
Lincoln Brigade in Spain to a
woman who has seen Hitler’s evil
face-to-face, Turtledove takes us
into a world shaping up very differently
in 1941. The Germans and
their Polish allies have slammed
into the gut of the Soviet Union in
the west, while Japan pummels
away in the east. In trench warfare in
France, French and Czech fighters
are outmanned but not outfought by
their Nazi enemy. Then the stalemate
is shattered. In England,
Winston Churchill dies in an apparent
accident, and the gray men who
walk behind his funeral cortege
wonder who their real enemy is. The
USSR, fighting for its life, makes
peace with Japan and Japan’s war
with America is about to begin.

when Monty thinks he might just
have it all under control, his old

Wiebe, shows up on his doorstep.
Monty is more than suspicious of
Smiley’s motives, but figures if you

the monster’s point of view. In most
stories we get the perspective of the
hero, the ordinary, the everyman.
We are all the hero of our own tale,

monsters, from Lucifer to Mordred,
from child-thieving fair ies to
Frankenstein’s monster and the
Wicked Witch of the West. From
our point of view, they may very

of course they won’t see themselves
in the same light, and their point of
view is what concerns us in these
tales. Demons and goblins, dark
gods and aliens, creatures of myth
and legend, lurkers in darkness and
beasts in human clothing, these are
the subjects of The Monster’s Cor -

civic leaders, he aggressively
