Just ahead of our week-long closing, we received a big box from the Men in Brown containing 12 new releases.  Among the items within:  Column of Fire, Ken Follett’s  continuation of his “Pillars of the Earth series; a new installment in Stieg Larsson’s “Girl Who” series; mysteries by Dana Stabenow and The Robert Parker franchise; suspense from Clive Cussler; fiction by Nicole Kraus and Celeste Ng; and last but not least, a charming kids book by Rolling Stone Keith Richards, which tells how his grandfather got him his first guitar.
