John Sandford –

In Israel, a man clutching a backpack searches desperately for a boat. In Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a message from Lucas Davenport: You’re about to get a visitor. It’s an Israeli cop, and she’s tailing a man who’s smuggled out an extraordinary relic—an inscribed stone revealing startling details about the man known as King Solomon. Wait a minute, laughs Virgil. Is this one of those Da Vinci Code deals? The secret scroll, the blockbuster revelation, the teams of murderous bad guys? Should I be boning up on my Bible verses?
He looks at the cop. She’s not laughing. As it turns out, there are very bad men chasing the relic, and they don’t care who’s in the way or what they have to do to get it. Maybe Virgil should start praying.
The Gallery of Vanished Husbands.  Natasha Solomons. London, 1958. It’s the eve of the sexual revolution, but in Juliet Montague’s conservative Jewish community where only men can divorce women, she ¬finds herself a living widow, invisible.

The second book in the Blaine trilogy. America is in a state of turbulence, engulfed in civil unrest and uncertainty. Yet for Whitney Dane- spending the summer of her twenty-second year on Martha’s Vineyard–life could not be safer, nor the future more certain. Educated at Wheaton, soon to be married, and the youngest daughter of the all-American Dane family, Whitney has everything she has ever wanted, and is everything her all-powerful and doting father, Charles Dane, wants her to be. But the Vineyard’s still waters are disturbed by the appearance of Benjamin Blaine. An underprivileged, yet fiercely ambitious and charismatic figure, Blaine is a force of nature neither Whitney nor her family could have prepared for.
An acknowledged master of the courtroom thriller, Patterson’s Blaine trilogy, a bold and surprising departure from his past novels, is a complex family drama pulsing with the tumult of the time.

Clell Hodges and Mark Lane had been hired to tame the wilderness. Engineers both, they had been brought to California’s Imperial Valley to wrest an irrigation system from the grip of a fearful adversary: the Colorado River. Wayward and turbulent, the mighty Colorado held the key to survival for all settlers along the Valley, and neither Clell nor Mark was alone in recognizing what prizes there were to be had if the River could be successfully tapped.

San Francisco business interests, greedy landowners, and the national government—all knew that the fortunes of the region would rise or fall with the current of the Colorado. What neither Clell nor Mark suspected—until one agonizing moment—was that their lives depended on it as well.
