 The Door to December
Dean Koontz
$4.00
Little Melanie had been kidnapped when she was only
three. She was nine when she was found wandering the L.A.
streets, with blank eyes. What had become of her in all
those years of darkness…and what was the terrible
secret, clutching at her soul, that she dared not even
whisper?
Her loving mother and the police desperately hunted for
the answer. They needed Melanie to help get to the bottom
of the most savage scene of carnage the city had ever
seen. And they would do anything to save her from
whatever dreadful force or thing had invaded her young
life. But first they would have to save themselves from a
rising tide of terror…and from an icy evil howling
through…the door to December.
 Bed of Nails
Michael Slade
$4.00
Isolated in Ashworth House, an asylum for the
criminally insane, is the Ripper. He believes he’s
the notorious butcher who terrorized Whitechapel more
than a century ago. He talks of time travel, infinity,
and the occult. In the black hole of his imagination, he
reenacts the crimes. In the darkness of his heart, he
still craves the trill of the kill. Thank God he can’t
escape. But with such an ingenious mind for murder, the
Ripper doesn’t have to—and the ghastly crimes
he can manipulate from his padded cell are taking Zinc
Chandler and the Special X investigators on a trail of
unspeakable carnage that leads to the idyllic Cook
Islands, where human sacrifice and cannibalism is more
than a dark and perverted chapter in history. It’s
tradition.
 Unspoken

When secrets are revealed
Shelby Cole thought she’d put Bad Luck behind her.
Bad Luck, Texas, that is. She’d left her hometown
ten years ago, her world shattered and her illegitimate
baby dead. Now she’s receiving anonymous letters
claiming that her daughter is alive. But going home means
demanding answers that her father, Judge Jerome Cole, won’t
be happy to give—and facing Nevada Smith, the man
who broke her heart…
And lies are exposed
For Nevada, Shelby’s homecoming is a bitter reminder
that his half-breed blood was never good enough for a
rich girl like the judge’s daughter. Even now, his
bad-boy reputation hovers around him like a cloud of
Texas dust. But years haven’t changed the way Shelby
makes him feel—and he can’t ignore the idea
that he may be the father of the child she’s looking
for.
Anything can happen…even murder
Yet Shelby’s not the only person on her way back to
Bad Luck. Falsely accused of murder and sent to prison
for ten years, Ross McCallum is coming home to settle the
score, especially with Shelby and Nevada. Now, as the
temperature soars, Shelby’s search for the truth
promises to boil over into violence as a lethal web of
revealed secrets threatens everything she believes about
the man she loves—and even her very own life…

FBI agent Rachel Walling finally gets the call she’s
dreaded for years, the one that tells her the Poet has
surfaced. She has never forgotten the serial killer who
wove lines of poetry in his hideous crimes—and
apparently he has not forgotten her.
Former LAPD detective Harry Bosch gets a call, too—from
the widow of an old friend. Her husband’s death
seems natural, but his ties to the hunt for the Poet make
Bosch dig deep. Arriving at a derelict spot in the
California desert where the feds are unearthing bodies,
Bosch joins forces with Rachel. Now the two are at odds
with the FBI…and squarely in the path of the Poet,
who will lead them on a wicked ride out of the heat,
through the narrows of evil, and into a darkness all his
own…

turns. Suddenly all of L.A. is in an uproar, and Bosch,
fighting to keep control, is driven to the brink of an
unimaginable decision.
