Week of August 15, 2022

Paperback releases for the week of August 15th include THE NAMELESS ONES, which marks the return of John Connolly's white-knuckled series starring Charlie Parker, who is involved in a heart-pounding race to hunt down the deadliest of war criminals; FRIENDS LIKE THESE, a relentlessly twisty literary thriller from Kimberly McCreight, in which a desperate intervention brings together a group of college friends 10 years after graduation --- a reunion marked by lies, betrayal and murder; Mary Dixie Carter's THE PHOTOGRAPHER, a slyly observed, suspenseful story of envy and obsession, told in the mesmerizing, irresistible voice of a character who will make you doubt that seeing is ever believing; and TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE, a riveting memoir from Ellen McGarrahan, a private investigator who revisits the case that has haunted her for decades and sets out on a deeply personal quest to sort truth from lies.
