Hilary Thayer Hamann
Hamann’s novel follows Eveline Auerbach from her high school years in East Hampton through her early adulthood in Manhattan of the 1970s.

The Glass Rainbow
James Lee Burke
When Dave Robicheaux gets the call saying his ex-partner Clete Purcel is in jail for felony assault and resisting arrest, bailing him out
is instinctive. After all, Clete is the man who saved Robicheaux’s life by carrying him down a fire escape with two bullets in his back. But Clete’s latest escapade isn’t just worrying because it shows his demons are gaining the upper hand; it also brings some of those demons into Robicheaux’s life, in the most personal way possible.
Tinkers
Paul Harding
An old man lies dying. Confined to bed in his living room, he sees the walls around him begin to collapse, the windows come loose from their sashes, and the ceiling plaster fall off in great chunks, showering him with a lifetime of debris: newspaper clippings, old photographs, wool jackets, rusty tools, and the mangled brass works of antique clocks. A methodical repairer of clocks, he is now finally released from the usual constraints of time and memory. Heartbreaking and life affirming, Tinkers is an elegiac meditation on love, loss, and the fierce beauty of nature.
Blind Fury
Lynda La Plante
Close to a motorway service station, the body of a young woman is discovered. She appears to have no family, no friends, no one to identify her. Detective Inspector Anna Travis is brought onto the team of investigators and it appears this recent case could be linked to two unsolved murders. As more evidence is uncovered, the team realise that they are contending with a triple murder investigation, and no suspect. But then a murderer known to Anna makes contact from prison. He insists that he can help track down their killer, but he will only divulge his secrets to Anna herself.

Hitch 22
Christopher Hitchens
Over the last thirty years, Christopher Hitchens has established himself as one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals. In this long-awaited and candid memoir, Hitchens retraces the footsteps of his life to date, from his childhood in Portsmouth with his adoring, tragic mother and reserved Naval officer father, to his life in Washinton DC, the base from which he would launch fierce attacks on tyranny of all kinds. Along the way he recalls the girls, the boys and the booze; the friendships and the feuds; the grand struggles and lost causes; and the mistakes and misgivings that have characterised his life.
Nomad
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Ayaan Hirsi Ali caused a worldwide sensation with her memoir Infidel. Now she tells of coming to America to build a new life, an ocean away from the death threats made against her by European Islamists, the strife she witnessed and the inner conflict she suffered. It is the story of her physical and emotional journey to freedom - her transition from a tribal mindset that restricts women’s every thought and action to life as a free and equal citizen in an open society. Through stories of the challenges she has faced, she shows the difficulty of reconciling the contradictions of Islam with Western values.
