Description

THE KEY TO REBECCA By Ken Follett: Cairo, 1942: a city holding its breath. The German army is poised for a strike into Egypt, and the British seem powerless to stop it. Powerless, too, to catch the spy who is stealing their military secrets and transmitting them to Rommel in the desert. Who is he? And what is the code that's hidden in the pages of a famous novel? One man, a British intelligence officer, has the key in his grasp, but to use it he must risk losing all he holds dear....Heart-stopping suspense from the author of EYE OF THE NEEDLE. A PIANO FOR MRS. CIMINO By Robert Oliphant: Esther Cimino, a widow of seventy-six, is confused, exhausted, and no longer able to manage her life. Such at least is the opinion of her doctors, her two sons, and the judge who declares her incompetent. But time and some help from a caring granddaughter work a small miracle: Mrs. Cimino sets out to reclaim her independence, and finds that she not only has all her wits but some of the fires of youth as well. This wholly engaging story dramatizes a predicament that concerns us all. THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD By Avery Corman: Meet Steve Robbins, a nice boy from the Bronx whose dreams have come true. He has become a successful advertising executive, he's proud of his perfect wife with her own career, and he has two fine daughters. But something's gone wrong: with too many outside pressures and too little time for one another, the Robbins family is falling apart. Searching for old values to shore up his shifting foundations, Steve looks to his past. The author of KRAMER VS. KRAMER has written a novel of warm, vulnerable, very real people embarked upon a voyage of self-discovery. THE GOLD OF TROY By Robert L. Fish: A fabulous lost treasure of ancient Trojan kings sudddenly turns up for international auction. But who is selling it--and why? And where has the priceless collection been since it disappeared during World War II?
