New to Bundamba Library: Notorious nineteen

 

'Notorious nineteen' , a Stephanie Plum novel by best selling author Janet Evanovich has been added to our fiction collection.

"After a slow summer of chasing low-level skips for her cousin Vinnie’s bail bonds agency, Stephanie Plum finally lands an assignment that could put her checkbook back in the black. Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trenton’s premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now it’s on Stephanie to track down the con man. Unfortunately, Cubbin has disappeared without a trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumors are stirring that he must have had help with the daring escape . . . or that maybe he never made it out of his room alive. Since the hospital staff’s lips seem to be tighter than the security, and it’s hard for Stephanie to blend in to assisted living, Stephanie’s Grandma Mazur goes in undercover. But when a second felon goes missing from the same hospital, Stephanie is forced into working side by side with Trenton’s hottest cop, Joe Morelli, in order to crack the case." -- Taken from back cover.

Come to Bundamba library for a funny and relaxing read this weekend!

Clive Cussler's The Race: new to Bundamba library

Set in the early 1900's, intrepid detective Isaac Bell engages in his most dangerous case yet.  If you are after a great adventure/thriller read this weekend, try The race.

"It is 1910, the age of flying machines is still in its infancy, and newspaper publisher Preston Whiteway is offering $50,000 for the first daring aviator to cross America in fewer than fifty days.  He is even sponsoring one of the prime candidates - an intrepid aviatrix named Josephine Frost - and that's where Bell, chief investigator for the Van Dorn Detective Agency, comes in.

Frost's violent-tempered husband has just killed her lover and tried to kill her, and he is bound to try again.  Bell has tangled with Harry Frost before, and knows the man has made his millions leading gangs of thieves, murderers and thugs in every city across the country.  He also knows Frost won't be after just his wife, but after Whiteway as well.  And Bell knows that if he takes the case, Frost will be after him, too..." -- Taken from back cover.
