The
Other
by David Guterson
From
the author of the best-selling Snow Falling on Cedars, a dazzling
new novel about youth and idealism, adulthood and its compromises,
and two powerfully different visions of what it means to live a good
life. When two boys meet in 1972 at age sixteen, they're brought
together by what they have in common: a fierce intensity and a love
of the outdoors. |

Plea
of Insanity
by Jilliane Hoffman
Julia
Vacanti, a 28-year-old Miami assistant state attorney, helps to
prosecute David Marquette, a Miami surgeon accused of stabbing his
wife and their two older children as well as smothering their baby
in Coral Gables, Fla. David's plea of insanity finds the prosecution
team working double time to prove he's just a clever psychopath
faking schizophrenia to avoid Florida's death penalty.

The
Last Indian War: The Nez Perce Story
by Elliott West
This
newest volume in Oxford's acclaimed Pivotal Moments series offers a
true unforgettable portrait of the Nez Perce War of 1877, the last
great Indian conflict in American history. It was, as Elliott West
shows, a tale of courage and ingenuity, of desperate struggle and
shattered hope, of shortsighted government action and a doomed
flight to freedom.
