The jury in a Mississippi tobacco trial appears to be manipulated and controlled.

Known for his meticulous, fascinating research, as well as his ability to create exciting plot twists that inevitably, a month or two later, seem to have anticipated real-life headlines, Ridley Pearson has genered praise as a "master" of the suspense novel. In Middle of Nowhere, the "Blu Flu" has struck the Seattle Police force and a majority of the officers are on a unofficial strike, with the exception of a few, including Detective Lou Boldt, who is committed to the job. When a string of robberies and the brutal assault of a female cop rock the city, the pressure of isolation threatens Boldt's psyche and his marriage. With the help of psychologist Daphne Matthews and Sergeant John LaMoia, Boldt is able to make progress on both the assault and the robberies, but things soon spin out of control, and Bodt's refusal to drop the case puts his own life at risk. Filled with the fast-paced, spiraling action that has made Pearson's previous novels "irresistable" (Los Angeles Times Book Review) works of suspense that "grip the imagination" (People magazine), this offering from "the best thriller writer alive" (Booklist) is certain to keep the reader breathless.

HEARTS IN ATLANTIS comprises five brilliant, interconnected, sequential narratives, each deeply rooted in the 60s and haunted by the Vietnam War: In 'Low Men in Yellow Coats' 11-year-old Bobby discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror. In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest ... and confront their own collective heart of darkness. In 'Blind Willie' and 'Why We're in Vietnam', two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era. And in 'Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling' Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, the hope of redemption, and his heart's desire may await him.

Tovenaarsglas is het verhaal van de jeugd van Roland, de scherpschutter. Het is de geschiedenis van zijn eerste liefde, Susan Delagado, die Roland ontmoette in Baronie Mejis, vóór de wereld verder ging. In Mejis streed Roland zijn eerste strijd tegen de machten van Chaos, met zijn kameraden Alain en Cuthbert. In Mejis zetten zij hun eerste schreden op een weg vol gevaren, de queeste naar de Donkere Toren. In Mejis werd Roland wat hij nu is: een onverzettelijke vechter, de laatste scherpschutter. Tovenaarsglas is de vierde roman van het magnum opus van Stephen King: de monumentale Donkere Toren-saga. Deze cyclus is Stephen Kings versie van de graal-legende, gesitueerd in een wereld die op een fascinerende manier anders is dan de onze en toch raadselachtig bekend aandoet.
