Other Indie FavoritesAlex, by Pierre LeMaitre, Frank Wynne (Trans.) (MacLehose Press, $24.95) “A beautiful woman is kidnapped after leaving a Paris shop and is brutally beaten and suspended from the ceiling in a wooden crate in an abandoned warehouse by a man who tells her he wants to watch her die. Police Commander Camille Verhoeven is assigned to the case after eyewitnesses report the abduction. Verhoeven is a detective whose tragic past has crippled him, but he is able to use his extraordinary investigative abilities to understand the victim. Alex is chilling and frequently horrifying as the plot twists catch the reader by surprise at every turn.” —Fran Keilty, The Hickory Stick Bookshop, Washington Depot, CT

Rivers: A Novel, by Michael Farris Smith (Simon & Schuster, $25) “In a post-Katrina world still ravaged by storms, one man tries to maintain an illusion of normal life but finally is forced to seek his escape and a new beginning. The physical and spiritual odyssey of Cohen is conducted in a world gone mad, but his quest is an assertion of the decency still capable of humanity. The language is rich and lyrical, the story taut and tense, the characters unforgettable. The world of literary fiction has a new talent in its ranks!” —Bill Cusumano, Nicola’s Books, Ann Arbor, MI

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteLet the People In: The Life and Times of Ann Richards, by Jan Reid (University of Texas Press, $16.95) “Let the People In is a rich, engaging look at one of the most exciting political figures of the last 40 years. Reid’s biography captures the way Ann Richards thrilled, frustrated, and surprised people across the country again and again. In addition to divulging some of the inner workings of politics in Texas and Washington, Reid provides an in-depth look at Austin in its most formative decades. A great history, a great story, and a great read.” —Sam Ramos, The Book Cellar, Chicago, IL
