NEW FICTION BOOKS
Bad River by Ralph Cotton. LARGE PRINT. Ranger Sam Burrack is riding to the Mexico Valley to hunt down the Arizona Cowboy Gang, notorious bandits who have topped the Most Wanted list for the past year. Now they’re robbing banks and trains on both sides of the border. Burrack knows it won’t be easy. But with patience–and a little luck–he will find them nearby, maybe in the limestone mountains, maybe in the caves above the old Quaker mission. He’ll smoke them out like rats if he has to. That was the job, and a ranger always gets the job done.
Imperfect Promise by Susanna Lane. LARGE PRINT. Former gunfighter Cortland Enders is about to go to prison when the woman he works for invents a scheme to save him. Sienna Harris, widowed owner of the Circle H, makes a deal with the judge-Cort will serve his three-year sentence running the ranch, bound to it as her new husband.
Just John by Reg Quist. LARGE PRINT. The Civil War is dying down and the roads are dangerous but with some help the horse is delivered and the slave sees freedom. Wishing to be freed from any remembrance of the slave farm, John has a last name that he refuses to use. John’s skill with horses opens doors for him which eventually take him to Fort Worth, Texas. More open doors, over a period of years, find him on the cattle drive to Montana, followed by a second drive into Alberta, Canada. From there, he chooses the name Ware. John Ware stays in Alberta, where he becomes a much loved and respected Alberta rancher. The John Ware story is well known, however since he never learned to read or write he left no historic record of his background.
Killer Words by V.M. Burns. LARGE PRINT. Bookstore owner and mystery writer Samantha Washington comes to the aid of the cop who once arrested her own grandmother…
Sam and Nana Jo are back in sleepy North Harbor, Michigan, where Sam is eagerly awaiting the publication of her first book. In search of more immediate excitement, Nana Jo hits the casino with her fellow Shady Acres Retirement Village gal pals—but they get more than they bargained for when they witness Detective Bradley Pitt decking mayoral candidate John Cloverton.
Lost Trails by multiple authors, including Louis L’Amour, Elmer Kelton, and William W. Johnstone. They are the stuff of legend, thundering out of the harsh landscapes and stunning vistas of the American West, vividly lodged in our collective imaginations. From Buffalo Bill to Billy the Kid, from Cochise to Jesse James, these names and so many others screamed across newspaper and dime store magazine headlines while the Wild West was won. Lost Trails features inventive, hard-riding, action-packed stories by America’s best Western writers. So, sit a spell and listen to a good ol’ yarn about Mark Twain’s meeting with Buffalo Bill, a man who shoed horses for Jesse James, or a little-known nugget about Cochise by the legendary Louis L’Amour. . .and for a time, you can find yourself riding those Lost Trails with the real people that make the legends of the West come alive today.
A Summer Love Affair by Holly Chamberlin. LARGE PRINT. Over the course of two summers, decades apart, romance will be kindled and rekindled, life-altering decisions made, and secrets of the heart will come to light at last.
Tick Tock by Fern Michaels. In a thrilling new story of female empowerment, adventure and vigilante justice from a best-selling author, The Sisterhood reunites to avenge an attack against one of their own.
NEW NON-FICTION
Maus: A Survivor’s Tale by Art Spiegelman. An autobiographical and biographical cartoon in which the author explores his strained relationship with his father, an Auschwitz survivor, while also relating the story of his parent’s experiences as Jews in wartime Poland, as told to him by his dad during a series of conversations they had years later in New York and Vermont.
NEW DVD
The Duke, Rated R with Jim Broadbent, Helen Mirren, and Fionn Whitehead. Set in 1961 when Kempton Bunton, a 60-year-old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government agreed to provide television for free to the elderly. What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge a startling revelation of how a good man set out to change the world and in so doing saved his son and his marriage to Dorothy Bunton.
