Inside Out: A Novel
by Barry Eisler, released June 29, 2010. "...the propulsive thriller that only former CIA operative turned bestselling novelist Barry Eisler could write." Jailed soldier Ben Treven will be released from prison if he accepts an assignment - find a rogue operator who has stolen torture tapes from the CIA and is using them to blackmail the U.S. government. Some heady stuff in this thriller!And what I brought home from the library:
A Twist of Orchids: A Death in the Dordogne Mystery
by Michelle Wan, 2008. I've read her previous orchid mysteries, Deadly Slipper
, and The Orchid Shroud
. The up and down relationship between Julian Wood and Mara Dunn is tested when strange things start happening to their friends in the mountains of France. I enjoy botanical mysteries such as this series set in France among orchid lovers and plant finders.
