In “Twisted Prey” by John Sandford, a rogue senator is using intelligence data for personal vendettas. In “The Fallen” by David Baldacci, “memory man” Amos Decker investigates a string of murders in a rust belt town.  “The 17th Suspect” by James Patterson means its another month and time to catch another serial killer. In “After Anna” by Lisa Scottoline, responsibility for a death in the family may land on a family’s doorstep. And finally, “Shoot First” by Stuart Woods offers Bond-like adventure (exotic locales, romantic dalliances, fast paced action).
