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.

August is looking to be a good month for Mystery, Thriller fans! Two of the best-selling authors of all time (and long-time member favorites) have new books coming out that are sure to heat up the last days of summer.

Sandra Brown is back this summer with Smash Cut. ‘Smash cut’ is a movie term referring to a sudden shift in scene, made specifically to shock the viewer. Brown explains this in a video on her offical website. “You see, my villan in this book is a film scholar. He eats, drinks, and sleeps movies. His conversations are sprinkled with quotes of movie dialogue - some you’ll recognize, and some you may not.  The research for this book was fun. Watching movies, trying to find the perfect line of dialogue to tie into the scenes that I was writing. Sometimes it got a little creepy, as does my villan. As the story progresses, he takes his fetish a bit further than quoting dialogue and actually begins re-enacting ….. well, I guess you’ll just have to read it, won’t you?”

The Smash Cut audiobook doesn’t come out until August 11th, but you can beat the rush and add it to your rental shelf now!

Next up, on August 24th,  James Patterson, world record holder and veritable story machine, is set to release the 15th book in his Alex Cross detective series, Alex Cross’s Trial.

Trial is written in the voice of Detective Alex Cross, as he passes down the family tale of his great uncle Abraham and his struggle for survival in the era of the Ku Klux Klan.

Washington D.C. lawyer Ben Corbett fights against oppression and racism and risks his family and his life in the process. When President Roosevelt asks Ben to return to his home town to investigate rumors of the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan there, he cannot refuse.

When he arrives in Eudora, Mississippi, Ben meets the wise Abraham Cross and enlists him to introduce Ben to the hidden side of the idyllic Southern town. Lynchings have become commonplace and residents of the town’s black quarter live in constant fear. Ben aims to break the reign of terror–but the truth of who is really behind it could break his heart.
