Budiansky, Stephen
Perilous Fight
Budiansky takes a fresh look at the War of 1812, saying it changed the course of naval warfare, America's place in the world, and the rules of international conflict forever. Never again would the Great Powers challenge the young republic's sovereignty in the aftermath of the stunning performance of America's navy and privateers in sea battles that ranged across half the globe. Their brilliant hit-and-run tactics against a far mightier foe would pioneer concepts of 'asymmetric warfare' that would characterize the insurgency warfare of later centuries. Above all, the War of 1812 would be the making of the US Navy. Drawing extensively on diaries, letters, and personal accounts from both sides, Budiansky recreates the encounters at sea in bloody clashes of cannon fire and swordplay, and the behind-the-scenes political intrigue and maneuvering in Washington and London.

At least they hope it's the work of someone new, for the prospect of Gretchen breaking her promise to him is more than Archie can bear.

Ranchero
Repo man Nick Reid had a job to do: talk to Percy Dwayne Dubois about the payments he's behind on for a flat screen TV, or repossess it. But Percy Dwayne hit Nick over the head, tied him up, took the TV, and stole the mint-condition 1969 Ranchero that Nick had borrowed from his landlady. Nick and his repo man buddy Desmond have no choice but to go after him. The fact that the trail eventually leads to Guy, a meth cooker recently set up in the Mississippi Delta after the Feds ran him out of New Orleans, is of no consequence - to get the Ranchero back, Nick will do anything. And it turns out he might have to.

Now meet Cherry again: in the person of her secret double Ann DeLusia. Ann portrays Cherry whenever the singer is too 'indisposed' - wasted - to go out in public. And it is Ann-mistaken-for-Cherry who is kidnapped from a South Beach hotel by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott. Now the challenge for Cherry's handlers (uber-stage mother; horndog record producer; nipped, tucked, and Botoxed twin publicists; weed whacker-wielding bodyguard) is to rescue Ann while keeping her existence a secret from Cherry's public - and from Cherry herself. The situation is more complicated than they know.

Will Bang Abbott achieve his fantasy of a lucrative private photo session with Cherry Pye? Will Cherry sober up in time to lip-synch her way through her concert tour? Will Skink track down Ann DeLusia before Cherry's motley posse does?

Dear Priscilla
Signed by the author on the title page. In 1943 Chicago, where it's tough to tell the difference between the cops and the criminals, the murders of two women put a mean police detective and his loan-shark partner on the trail of a cold-blooded killer with a warped psyche.
Signed by the author on the title page. Usually in St. Germaine, North Carolina, the three weeks before Christmas are marked by an increase in good feelings. Not this year. The whole town is crabby. Noylene's new personal Christian astrologer blames it on the convergence of Pluto and the third moon of Jupiter. Pete Moss thinks it might have something to do with increasing levels of positive ion bombardment from outer space. (Also included in Pete's theory are sunspots, a hole in the ozone layer, the federal deficit, CNN election coverage, armadillo migration, and the cancellation of two long-running soap operas.) When a long-lost cantata is found in the basement of the courthouse, a Christmas Eve performance is the order of the day. What happens next is anyone's guess.
