In Heather Terrell's second novel, The Map Thief, Mara Coyne --- the protagonist of 2007's historical thriller The Chrysalis --- returns with a new art-related mystery. Set in Beijing, China, in 1421, a fleet of unprecedented size sets sail under Admiral Zheng He. Zheng's mission is to chart the globe, trading for riches and bringing glory to China's emperor. Among the crew is the talented cartographer and navigator Ma Zhi, whose work will lead to the first true map of the world --- but whose accomplishment will vanish when the fleet returns to a very different China than the one it left.

Elizabeth Brundage follows the success of her first novel, The Doctor's Wife, with Somebody Else's Daughter, which introduces readers to Nate Gallagher, a teacher and struggling writer haunted by the daughter he gave up for adoption years ago. The girl, Willa --- now a teenager and one of Nate's students --- lives with her adoptive parents, Joe and Candace, who have nurtured her with their affection and prosperity. When Willa wins a community service internship and begins working at a local women's shelter, her friendship with a troubled prostitute raises questions about her own biological past. Despite her parents' love and care, Willa can't shake her feelings of confusion and abandonment, and Joe and Candace are too preoccupied with their crumbling marriage to realize her unhappiness.

Breena Clarke's debut novel, River, Cross My Heart, was an October 1999 Oprah Book Club selection. In her newest work of fiction, Stand the Storm, even though Sewing Annie Coats and her son, Gabriel, have managed to buy their freedom, their lives are still marked by constant struggle and sacrifice. Washington's Georgetown neighborhood, where the Coatses operate a tailor's shop and laundry, is supposed to be a "promised land" for former slaves but is effectively a frontier town, gritty and dangerous, with no laws protecting black people. For events and appearances, and more information about Breena's novels, visit www.BreenaClarke.com.
All her life, Marie Brenner struggled to understand her older brother, Carl. They had very little in common: Carl was a one-time lawyer turned apple farmer in Washington State; Marie was an investigative journalist in New York City, espousing every cultural and political position Carl professed to hate. He was aloof and patronizing, his put-downs cruel and constant; she was never allowed to forget that she did not impress him. How could she break through? You can find out more about Marie and her extraordinary memoir, Apples & Oranges, and see her on tour by visiting her website, www.MarieBrenner.com.

Cody McFadyen's newest thriller, The Darker Side, is gripping. A lie, a long-ago affair, a dark desire --- everyone has secrets they take to the grave. No one knew that better than FBI Special Agent Smoky Barrett. But what secret was a very private young woman keeping that led her to her very public murder? And what kind of killer was so driven and so brazenly daring that he'd take her life on a commercial airliner 30,000 feet in midair, a killer so accomplished that he'd leave only a small souvenir behind?
