Book Description
In 1483, Edward and Richard of York — Edward, by law, already King of England — were placed, for their protection before Edward’s coronation, in the Tower of London by their uncle Richard. Within months the boys disappeared without a trace, and for the next five hundred years the despised Richard III was suspected of their heartless murders.
In To the Tower Born, Robin Maxwell ingeniously imagines what might have happened to the missing princes. The great and terrible events that shaped a kingdom are viewed through the eyes of quick-witted Nell Caxton, only daughter of the first English printer, and her dearest friend, “Bessie,” sister to the lost boys and ultimate founder of the Tudor dynasty.
It is a thrilling story brimming with mystery, color, and historical lore. With great bravery and heart, two friends navigate a dark and treacherous medieval landscape rendered more perilous by the era’s scheming, ambitious, even murderous men and women who will stop at nothing to possess the throne.

Book Description
To survive in a game with no rules at all, John Corey must invent a strategy that includes no luck at all.
The hero of DeMille’s No. 1 New York Times best seller, Plum Island, Corey has been through a lot, not the least of which was surviving three bullet wounds while serving on the NYPD.
Now he signs on with the government’s Anti-Terrorist Task Force in an attempt to stop an alleged Libyan terrorist known simply as “The Lion.” The Lion has the instincts of a wild animal, the bloodlust of a carnivore, and the boldness and speed of a cat of prey. And now he’s loose in America. Can John Corey stop him? Or has his allotment of luck just run out?
Filled with unrelenting suspense and surprising plot twists at every terrifying turn, THE LION’S GAME is a heartstopping race against time and one of Nelson DeMille’s most riveting thrillers.
