New at the library – Tough Customer by Sandra Brown. Private investigator Dodge Hanley doesn’t make excuses, and he doesn’t let the rules get in his way, whether it means breaking hearts or breaking heads. That’s why, when a stalker tries to kill the daughter that he’s never met, his ex Caroline King calls him to find the man who wants to murder their daughter – and anyone else who gets in his way.

Spider Bones by Kathy Reichs. John Lowery was declared dead in Vietnam. Four decades later, he was declared dead again in Canada, and yet again in Hawaii. How could the same man be dead in three different places at three different times? Tempe Brannen is going to find out.
