5 softcover books that are for the most part thrillers.

The first is called The Other Extreme and is by Deen Koontz. For Jay Hutchin, the line blurs on a sultry night in a cheap motel on Tango Key. One moments jealous rage is all it takes for the esteemed judge to murder Diane Jackson, a beautiful starlet whose fatal mistake was to underestimate her married lover's devotion - and the depth of his jealousy. Having made a name for herself taking high-profile cases, defense attorney, Kit Parrish has everything to lose this time around. Hired to defend the innocent suspect in the Jackson murder, Kit grows increasingly distracted by her brother's unsolved disappearance a decade ago - and her young son's bizarre behavior, triggered by voices only he can hear. On the verge of becoming U.S. Attorney General, Jay Hutcin is quietly frantic, bent on keeping Kit Parrish from clearing her client's name - and determined to avoid the accusing gaze of Kit's son. The little boy can't possibly know what really happened that night on Tango Key .... or can he? As the truth closes in, Jay will do anything to safeguard his future and cover his tracks. Anything. Even kill again........

The second book is called Cross Road Blues, a Nick Travers mystery and is authored by Ace Atkins.

But when a colleague disappears into the Mississippi Delta while researching 1930s blue legend Robert Johnson, Nick's life takes a tailspin. On the trail of the lost professor, Nick also delves into Johnsons' mysterious death, and suddenly finds himself with two baffling mysteries on his hands, each more convulated than the Mighty Mississippi.

The last book is called Flee From The Past and is by Carolyn Hart. Vengance is Mine. It was a warning for her and her alone.

Someone who knew who she really was. Knew the terrible secret in her past. Knew that she'd built a happy new life around another name. Whoever wrote that message would soon destroy her.
