The relationship begins with the following titles: -- The Hades Factor is a new political thriller from critically acclaimed authors Robert Ludlum and Gayle Lynds. The first installment of Ludlum's Covert-One series, The Hades Factor, traces a leading government lab researcher's quest to expose the mystery behind a doomsday virus before it creates a pandemic. Author Robert Ludlum has enjoyed a string of national bestsellers from 1972 to today. The Hades Factor is the latest bestseller, achieving New York Times bestseller status. -- When six-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was murdered on December 25, 1996, millions were transfixed by the story. JonBenet: Inside the Murder Investigation, tells, in the words of Detective Steve Thomas, who was at the center of the team that searched for her killer, how someone got away with murder. JonBenet: Inside the Murder Investigation, spent four weeks on the New York Times printed Bestseller list, peaking at #3. -- Four to Score is the fourth book in author Janet Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum" mystery novel series. Follow the spandex-sporting detective as she hunts down a gum-smacking waitress who skips bail when her boyfriend has her arrested for stealing his car. Janet Evanovich has earned high praise for Four to Score: USA Today called it "A Plum Choice" and The Washington Post wrote, "If you love your capers wild, this is one you have to have." Evanovich's latest book, Hot Six, was the #1 on the New York Times Bestseller last week, and her paperback High Five also earned bestseller status. -- The Year's Best Science Fiction: 17th Annual Collection, by Gardner Dozois, is the latest installment of the Locus Award Winning anthology. It features a collection of top SciFi tales from leading authors including Greg Egan, Stephen Baxter, and Ben Bova. This body of work explores the realm of the near and distant future, as we stand on the edge of the 21st century.
