Both are found dead and Ruth finds herself the prime suspect, tried and convicted by the court of public opinion because she is a single parent and rumors abound about her drinking and dating habits. Flint has created a compelling whodunit based on true events, and I was riveted from page one. This is a literary thriller that will have you parked in your reading chair until you turn the last page! Sarah Harmuth Letke, Redbery Books, Cable, WI The River at Night: A Novel, by Erica Ferencik (Gallery/Scout Press, $26) What would you do to save the lives of your friends? In this debut novel, Winifred and her three friends are about to find out. Instead of a trip to a comfortable, fancy resort in some exotic destination, they embark on an excursion to the Allagash wilderness in upstate Maine. What happens next is everyone s nightmare, yet it leads to the kind of wisdom few people ever achieve. This is a tense, disturbing, yet satisfying story of the strength of friendship in the face of a severe challenge. Linda Bond, Auntie s Bookstore, Spokane, WA

Hope in the Dark Rebecca Solnit, Haymarket Books, $15.99 Another Indie Favorite Dodgers: A Novel, by Bill Beverly (Broadway Books, $15) Four young black men, following orders, leave their tightly bound South Central Los Angeles community, and drive across the country to perform a hit to prevent a witness from testifying against their boss. They are ghetto born, raised, and trained, so they have outlaw skills and the resulting respect in their community. In wide-open America, they are profoundly out of their comfort zone. What each young man does with his skills, wits, sense of duty, and for one in particular a dawning sense of what the future holds for such a lifestyle forms the core of this powerful novel. Provocative, gripping, and timely, Dodgers is a riveting read that leaves a lasting impression. Sheryl Cotleur, Copperfield s Books, Sebastopol, CA Copyright American Booksellers Association.
