Sharon Virts, author of The Grays of Truth

In Reconstruction-era Baltimore, members of the city’s elite keep turning up dead. Below the polished surface of high society, there are illicit affairs, jilted lovers, financial hardships and countless motives for murder. When Jane Gray Wharton’s husband, Ned, dies unexpectedly while overnighting at his brother’s home, Jane has no reason to question the circumstances of his death. But on a visit to the same house a few weeks later, both Jane and her daughter fall gravely ill, and Jane begins to suspect foul play.

Robert Dugoni, author of Beyond Reasonable Doubt

When Jenna Bernstein, the disgraced wunderkind CEO of a controversial biotech company, is accused of murdering her former partner and lover, she turns to Seattle attorney Keera Duggan to defend her. Keera is more than a master chess player who brings her intuitive moves into court --- she’s Jenna’s childhood friend. But considering their history, Keera knows that where Jenna goes, trouble follows. With only circumstantial evidence against Jenna, Keera is willing to bury any trepidation she might have to defend a woman she believes to be innocent this time. As the investigation gets underway and disturbing questions arise, Keera puts her trust in a client who swears that she's telling nothing but the truth. If this is all just another devious game, Keera might be working to set a murderer free.

Al Pacino, author of Sonny Boy: A Memoir

SONNY BOY is the memoir of a man who has nothing left to fear and nothing left to hide. All the great roles, the essential collaborations and the important relationships are given their full due, as is the vexed marriage between creativity and commerce at the highest levels. The book’s golden thread, however, is the spirit of love and purpose. Love can fail you, and you can be defeated in your ambitions --- the same lights that shine bright can also dim. But Al Pacino was lucky enough to fall deeply in love with a craft before he had the foggiest idea of any of its earthly rewards, and he never fell out of love. That has made all the difference.
