More suspense plus something different

The Fourth Order by Stephen Frey---Michael Rose, CFO of Trafalgar Industries want to take over CIS, a computer company with ties to a secret government operation called the Fourth Order. Since 9/11, the Order has been given instructions to detain and torture anyone who they suspect may have connections to terrorism. Of course, innocent people are detained and a plot is uncovered to have a repeat of the 9/11 attacks but.....is it really terrorists or our own people? Follow Michael and find out.

Currently reading Strip Search by William Bernhardt. A serial killer of the worst kind is striking seemingly random victims in Las Vegas. Susan Pulaski, a behaviorist working for LVPD and an unusual assistant, Darcy work together to profile this unusual killer. Darcy is an autistic savant who is gifted in math and obscure mathematical formulas left at the crime scenes are a challenging puzzle for him to solve. Will they be able to solve the case before the killer strikes again? I am ready to find out but I won't spoil the ending for you. Readers won't be disappointed by this one.


Something different!!! I was a big fan of the TV series M.A.S.H. and especially loved Hawkeye played by Alan Alda. I am waiting to read his new book Things I Overheard While Talking To Myself. Eddie brought me a copy of his first book Never Have Your Dog Stuffed. Alda is a gifted writer as well as actor and this memoir of his youth will leave you laughing, crying and admiring how he was able to deal with being the son of a famous actor and a mother with a serious mental problem. I really do respect him more now that I know what he went through. There are also photographs included that depict him growing from a cute little boy to a grandfather with his grandchildren. I am eagerly awaiting his newest!!!

That sounds like fun. I truly admire Alan Alda also. He brought a great humanity to his role and they covered lots of important subjects in M.A.S.H. Thank you for the book recommendation!
