Check out these triple treat thrillers

THE ZERO GAME by Brad Meltzer
COTTONWOOD by Scott Phillips
THE LAST GOODBYE by Reed Arvin


THE DA VINCI CODE continues to be a best seller!

THE DA VINCI CODE by Dan Brown. You can read a review and an excerpt at Bookreporter.com.

Readers of the book have this to say about it.

As I read the book, I found I wanted to know more about the story: could there be some truth to this tale? A search at Google.com came up with some interesting results. For example, DaVinci:Father of Cryptography?.

The popularity of THE DA VINCI CODE has caused people to read one of Brown's earlier books, ANGELS AND DEMONS, also a best-seller.

New ones and old favorites

    FINAL ROUND by William Bernhardt

    Nobody raises a ruckus or even a loud voice at the Masters, the prestigious and very proper golf tournament that brings the best players and most ardent fans to Augusta, Georgia, every April. Nobody bashes a player to death with a nine iron and leaves the body in a sandy bunker on the 18th hole, either, except someone did just that to John McCree, whose best friend and fellow golfer, Conner Cross, wasn't playing his best game even before the murder. Three people die, including Jodie McCree--Conner's girl prior to becoming John's wife--before Conner unmasks a killer who'd do anything for a chance at the coveted green jacket of a Masters champion.
