by Michael Palmer · Bantam

In his five bestselling novels, from The Sisterhood to Natural Causes, physician Michael Palmer has drawn on years of firsthand emergency-room experience to create the drama of a frighteningly authentic world--a world where the line between medicine and murder is scalpel-thin. Now, in his most harrowing suspense novel yet, Palmer reveals how the power to heal can become a license to kill.... With his wife, Evie, scheduled for surgery the next day, Dr. Harry Corbett goes to the hospital for what he hopes will be a quiet evening of reconciliation. In recent weeks Evie, never quick to share her feelings, has been more closed and distant than ever. But when Harry reaches Evie's room, it is too late for reconciliation. Shockingly, without warning, Evie is dead. The police suspect homicide. And their only suspect is Dr. Harry Corbett. Harry is not prepared for the stunning revelations that follow: His bright, beautiful, highly ambitious wife was leading a double life; she may have had dangerous secrets. But what secret could have been explosive enough to die for? Then the killer strikes again, boldly, tauntingly murdering one of Harry's favorite patients in such a way that only Harry knows the death was not natural. This time Harry is certain: The killer, medically sophisticated, coolly arrogant, moving undetected through a busy urban hospital, could only be a doctor. And he wonders--how many more will die? Desperately Harry probes deeper, following the only clue Evie left. What he finds is a sinister pattern that threatens patients in every hospital in the city. Harry is engaged in a life-and-death battle of wits with a chillingly efficient monster. And until the doctor is unmasked, no patient is safe from his lethal silent treatment. Michael Palmer has done it again, delivering a no-holds-barred novel of medical intrigue-- a gripping thriller that features the most terrifying physician since Hannibal Lecter.

by Jane Smiley · Knopf

Med "Moo" introduserer den amerikanske forfatteren Jane Smiley leseren for det indre liv på en høyskole i Midtvesten. Med svart humor og ironi spenner hun opp et stort lerret av enkeltskjebner og miljøer som fremstår som et mikrokosmos av vår vestlige kultur. Akademiske karriereambisjoner og politisk spillfekteri møtes i uhellige allianser - hvem er det nå egentlig som betaler for "forskningen" som utføres? Parallelt blir en rekke enkletpersoners forfengelige og fåfengte strev for å posisjonere seg, seksuelt og sosialt forøvrig, avkledd på morsomt vis. Av Jane Smiley bøker er tidligere bare en utgitt på norsk, "Fire tusen mål", som kom i 1992.
