Nicholas Sparks, bestselling author of The Notebook, and Nights in Rodanthe, brings us The Last Song on September 8th.
Seventeen year-old Veronica “Ronnie” Miller’s life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from NYC to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, her mother decides it would be in everyone’s best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie’s father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms – first love, the love between parents and children – that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts… and heal them.
(Random fact: Miley Cyrus chose the name Ronnie for the main character.)
On September 15th, Dan Brown releases his highly anticipated follow up to Angels & Demons, and The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol. Brown’s long time editor says “nothing ever is as it first appears in a Dan Brown novel. This book’s narrative takes place in a twelve-hour period, and from the first page, Dan’s readers will feel the thrill of discovery as they follow Robert Langdon through a masterful and unexpected new landscape. The Lost Symbol is full of surprises.”
On September 28th James Patterson takes a slight detour from his usual mystery thrillers with the non-fiction thriller The Murder of King Tut: The Plot to Kill the Child King.
Egyptologists have long presumed that the young king died of disease, or an accident. In The Murder of King Tut, James Patterson and Martin Dugard chronicle their epic quest to find out what happened to the boy-king. They comb through the evidence - X-rays, Carter’s files, forensic clues - and scavenge for overlooked data to piece together the details of his life and death. The result is a true crime tale of intrigue, betrayal, and usurpation that presents a compelling case that King Tut’s death was anything but natural.
