THE CHINA GAMBIT

by ALLAN TOPOL

SYNOPSIS:

National bestselling author Allan Topol returns with a thrilling new trilogy of international intrigue. THE CHINA GAMBIT(Vantage Point; $14.95; January 2012) introduces Craig Page, a daring and resourceful former CIA agent, now fighting terrorism in Europe after being unceremoniously fired from the agency. After his daughter Francesca — a New York City reporter investigating the biggest story of her young career — dies in an “automobile accident,” Craig is instinctively convinced that she was murdered and sets out to find answers…and vengeance.

Joined by Francesca’s editor, the gutsy and equally resourceful Elizabeth Crowder, Craig soon begins to peel back the conspiracy layer by layer, eventually learning that Francesca was just collateral in a much larger ultimate target: The United States.

With a worldwide conflict that revolves around oil, money, weapons, and greed, THE CHINA GAMBIT raises the stakes by presenting frighteningly real consequences. The action races around the globe, jumping from Canada to Tehran, Beijing to Washington, and finally to Aspen, with Craig and Elizabeth narrowly escaping the deadliest of obstacles in their attempts to prevent impending catastrophe at the hands of Chinese General Zhou. Yet the rogue general is not the only twisted mastermind, and Craig soon learns that this conspiracy is a “three-headed monster”— one Chinese, one Iranian, and one American, led by a traitorous CIA director with whom Craig has a tumultuous past.

MAY THE ROAD RISE

UP TO MEET YOU

by PETER TROY

SYNOPSIS (fom Doubleday):

An engrossing, epic American drama told from four distinct perspectives, spanning the first major wave of Irish immigration to New York through the end of the Civil War.
Four unique voices; two parallel love stories; one sweeping novel rich in the history of nineteenth-century America. This remarkable debut draws from the great themes of literature—famine, war, love, and family—as it introduces four unforgettable characters. Ethan McOwen is an Irish immigrant whose endurance is tested in Brooklyn and the Five Points at the height of its urban destitution; he is among the first to join the famed Irish Brigade and becomes a celebrated war photographer. Marcella, a society girl from Spain, defies her father to become a passionate abolitionist. Mary and Micah are slaves of varying circumstances, who form an instant connection and embark on a tumultuous path to freedom.
All four lives unfold in two beautiful love stories, which eventually collide. Written in gorgeous language that subtly captures the diverse backgrounds of the characters, and interspersed with letters, journals, and dreams, this unforgettable story, rendered in cinematic detail, is about having faith in life’s great meaning amidst its various tangles.

“In the dead of winter, Sydney Hayes finds herself in an internet chat room in hopes of expelling her loneliness.

When a girl that social worker Kari Marchant places in foster care is brutally murdered, she’s compelled to learn why. Her quest for the truth pits her against friends and coworkers.

But things between them go terribly wrong when Kari’s old lover is found murdered with a letter from her in his pocket. The evidence against Kari is damning.
