Four novels of varying genres in condensed format (150-200 pages) although surprisingly, they feel like complete stories.
 
"No Safe Place" by Richard North Patterson, about political corruption.
 
"Somebody's Baby" by Elaine Kagan about a woman who seeks to discover the truth behind the mother who gave her up for adoption.
 
"Riptide" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child--treasure hunters undergo a high-tech expedition, working against each other to see which will be able to overcome a "diabolically engineered labyrinth of tunnels and shafts" known for centuries as the Water Pit.
 
"The Coffin Dancer" by Jeffrey Deaver shows the return of quadriplegic criminologist, Lincoln Rhyme ("The Bone Collector") as he faces off against an elusive hired killer who shares a mysterious history with Rhyme and makes this case all that much more personal.
