Every season, Rowan looks forward to her return to the wilds of Montana to carry on the family legacy. But this time the joy of coming home is overshadowed by constant reminders of the partner she lost last year.

When a dark presence looking to blame someone for the terrible tragedy lashes out against her, Rowan becomes worried. She knows she can’t complicate things with Gull—any distractions in the air or on the ground could be dangerously irresponsible.

BROKE BY GLENN BECK
Description from Conservative Book Club: "Never before in the history of our nation, says Glenn Beck, have we been so close to losing our freedoms than we are today. Our way of life -- unalienable rights, unquestionable freedoms, unimaginable wealth -- may seem natural and permanent to us, but they could be gone in the blink of an eye.

Packed with great stories from history, chalkboard-style teachable moments, custom illustrations, and Glenn Beck's trademark combination of entertainment and enlightenment, Broke makes the case that when you're traveling in the wrong direction, slight course corrections won't cut it -- you need to take drastic action.

THE CONFESSION BY JOHN GRISHAM
Description from Literary Guild Book Club: "John Grisham’s back in the courtroom with his biggest suspense-driven masterpiece to date. All rise for The Confession.... For every innocent man in prison, there is a guilty one on the outside. He doesn’t understand how the police and prosecutors got the wrong man, nor does he care. Time passes and he realizes the authorities are determined to get a conviction. He may even watch the trial of the person wrongly accused. He is relieved when the verdict is guilty. He is content to allow an innocent person to serve hard time, even to be executed. Travis Boyette is such a man. In 1998, he raped and strangled a high school cheerleader. He buried her body so it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row. Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled for a different crime; Donté is four days away from execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor and, for the first time in his miserable life, he decides to do what’s right and confess. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges and politicians that they’re about to execute an innocent man?"

FULL DARK, NO STARS BY STEPHEN KING
Description from Doubleday Book Club: "In epic works like his Dark Tower series, The Stand and his recent Under the Dome, legendary author Stephen King has proven that he’s a master at working on a large canvas. His grand story arcs are, quite simply, breathtaking. But there’s something special about his shorter works. More intimate, immediate and intense, they’re beautifully crafted gems, and the thrills—and chills—hit you with surgical precision. Full Dark, No Stars is a perfect example. A dark quartet of never-before-published novellas, it features: (1) 1922 — When Wilfred and his wife move onto land willed to her by her father, it sets in motion a gruesome sequence of events that leads to madness…and murder, (2) Big Driver — Tess, a mystery writer, takes a shortcut home, only to run into a nightmare more terrifying than her stories. (3) Fair Extension — In this darkly funny tale, cancer patient Harry Streeter decides to make a deal with the devil, but as always, there’s a price to pay. (4) A Good Marriage — Darcy learns more about her husband of 20 years than she would have liked to know when she stumbles across a mysterious box in their garage. Tautly plotted and beautifully told, this is Stephen King at the top of his game."

LEGACY OF ASHES BY TIM WEINER
Description from the Progressive Book Club: "For the last 60 years, the CIA has managed to maintain a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, burying its blunders in top-secret archives. Its mission was to know the world. When it did not succeed, it set out to change the world. Its failures have handed us, in the words of President Eisenhower, 'a legacy of ashes.' Now Pulitzer Prize–winning author Tim Weiner offers the first definitive history of the CIA—and everything is on the record. The best-selling Legacy of Ashes is based on more than 50,000 documents, primarily from the archives of the CIA itself, and hundreds of interviews with CIA veterans, including ten directors of central intelligence. It takes the CIA from its creation after World War II, through its battles in the Cold War and the war on terror, to its near-collapse after 9/11. With shocking revelations that made headlines in papers across the country, Weiner gets at the truth behind the CIA and uncovers why nearly every CIA director has left the agency in worse shape than he found it—and how these profound failures jeopardize our national security. Legacy of Ashes won the National Book Award for Nonfiction. The Washington Post called it 'must reading for anyone interested in the CIA or American intelligence since World War II.' "
