Week of July 25, 2016

Paperback releases for the week of July 25th include ROGUE LAWYER, John Grisham's latest legal thriller that introduces readers to Sebastian Rudd, an attorney who believes that everyone is entitled to a fair trial --- even if he has to bend the law to secure one; CITY ON FIRE, Garth Risk Hallberg's much-talked-about debut novel that revolves around a mystery --- namely, a shooting in Central Park on New Year’s Eve --- that will open up even the loneliest-seeming corners of 1970s New York City; YES, MY ACCENT IS REAL, a collection of humorous autobiographical essays from Kunal Nayyar, best known as Raj on "The Big Bang Theory"; and the continuations of such popular series as Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache mysteries (THE NATURE OF THE BEAST) and James Rollins' Sigma Force novels (THE BONE LABYRINTH).

James Rollins, author of The Bone Labyrinth: A Sigma Force Novel

In the remote mountains of Croatia, an archaeologist makes a strange discovery: a subterranean Catholic chapel, hidden for centuries, holds the bones of a Neanderthal woman. In the same cavern system, elaborate primitive paintings tell the story of an immense battle between tribes of Neanderthals and monstrous shadowy figures. It isn’t long before the investigative team is attacked, while a bloody assault is made upon a primate research center outside of Atlanta. How are these events connected? Who is behind these attacks?
