Missing Sookie Stackhouse? Try Ms. Harris' New Trilogy

From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse and her world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a darker locale populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that’s how the locals prefer it.

Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town.

There’s a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There’s a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there’s new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he’s found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).

Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth...

Pick up Midnight Crossroad on the new book shelf section on the main floor of the library.

First in new trilogy: 'The Watchers'

An atmospheric new trilogy opens with Jon Steele's The Watchers.  Memory-challenged British private detective Jay Harper investigates a series of murders that may be the handiwork of a gang of international killers - or fallen angels.  Set in Switzerland's historical Laussanne Cathedral, the story is somewhat reminiscent of Hunchback of Notre Dame or Richard Harvell's The Bells, but with a paranormal element.  Happy reading!
