Simple Genius
by David Baldacci
Sean
King and Michelle Maxwell are back, and struggling in the
emotional aftermath of the events that brought them to the
brink in Hour Game. Dogged by personal demons, Maxwell agrees
to treatment in a psychiatric institution, after barely
surviving a violent barroom brawl. And King, to right their
partnership, accepts an offer to investigate a murder in
a scientific think tank named Babbage Town. Feeling cured,
Michelle joins him on the case, and they penetrate this
secret enclave of geniuses working to surpass the capabilities
of the most sophisticated microprocessor in the world. Suddenly,
the pair find themselves in a race against time to expose
those who would tip the entire global power structure...and
destroy what's left of their lives.

Pontoon
by Garrison Keillor
Keillor's
delightful latest addition to the Lake Wobegon series, set
in the fictional Minnesota town known to legions of A Prairie
Home Companion radio show fans, opens with a typically laconic
musing: Evelyn was an insomniac, so when they say she died
in her sleep, you have to question that. The author's storytelling
skills come to the fore as he describes Evelyn Peterson, a
sprightly 82-year-old whose secret life of romance and adventure
is revealed after her death. Her daughter, Barbara, a please-everyone
type with a fondness for chocolate liqueur, finds Evelyn dead
in bed, and things snowball from there. Debbie Detmer, who
made her fortune as an animal therapist for the rich and famous,
is planning a grand commitment ceremony (on a pontoon boat
in Lake Wobegon) to celebrate her relationship with a private
jet time-share salesman. Meanwhile, Barbara plans to carry
out her mother's wishes for a cremation ceremony involving
a bowling ball filled with her ashes, and then there's the
group of Danish Lutheran ministers stopping by Lake Wobegon
on their tour of the U.S. Keillor's longtime fans may find
some of the material familiar (he notes he's told this story
several hundred times... with many variations), but there's
plenty of fun to be had with the well-timed deadpans and homespun
wit. (Sept.)
