Bang, bang, she's back! Stephanie Plum, the tough-talking, mace-packing female bounty hunter from New Jersey, has returned to thrill and amuse listeners in the third book of this acclaimed series. Best-selling author Janet Evanovich creates an outrageously high-spirited romp through the gritty Trenton landscape. Cursed with a disastrous new hair color and unable to shake Lula -- a 230-pound former prostitute and bounty hunter wannabe -- Stephanie must find Mo Bedemier, Trenton's most beloved citizen, before it's too late. With the body count rising, Stephanie struggles to stay one clue ahead of gun-toting drug dealers. Fast-paced, impudently funny, and screaming with suspense, Three To Get Deadly is Evanovich at her provocative best. C.J. Critt's lively narration brims with moxie, and will leave listeners checking their rear-view mirrors for Plum's big blue '53 Buick. [9 compact discs in a vinyl clamshell case] [10.25 hours]

American Gunfight
By Hunter, Stephen
On November 1, 1950, two Puerto Rican nationalists, Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola, nearly assassinated President Harry Truman. If this historical fact surprises you, you're not alone. American Gunfight, a new account by suspense novelist and Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic Stephen Hunter and journalist John Bainbridge Jr., examines this largely forgotten episode in meticulous detail, including the conspiracy surrounding it and the misconceptions associated with the would-be assassins. As the book makes clear, it's remarkable that these two men even came close to succeeding, given the disorganized nature of the plot. Intending to attack the president at the White House, they only learned in passing from a cab driver that it was being renovated and that Truman was in fact living at the nearby Blair House.
