Set on Cape Cod in the rarified circles of old-money political dynasties, this story s characters are larger than life, brilliant, infuriating, and compelling. They have constituencies and causes, servants in their seaside mansions, famous artwork on their walls, and horse habits, yet they struggle with the shame of overstretched finances, an infamous love triangle, and buried secrets. The Last Summer of the Camperdowns is the perfect summer page-turner. Sara Hinckley, Hudson Booksellers, Marietta, GA If You Were Here: A Novel of Suspense, by Alafair Burke (Harper, $25.99) If You Were Here is the story of a New York City prosecutor long fallen from grace, now working as a news reporter. McKenna Jordan unexpectedly stumbles across a recent photo of a close friend who disappeared nearly 10 years ago. Nothing is as it seems, not even the case that cost McKenna her career. Clever plot twists kept my nose buried until the very last page. Highly recommended for fans of Harlan Coben and Lisa Unger. Bina Valenzano, The BookMark Shoppe, Brooklyn, NY

Salinger, Warner, $6.99 Another Indie Favorite Sutton: A Novel, by J.R. Moehringer (Hyperion, $15.99) Willie Sutton s life was stranger than fiction so it seems only appropriate that Moehringer uses the novel form to describe the fascinating existence of the bank robber who became a folk hero. As Sutton travels about New York with two reporters after his release from prison, the reader is treated to a story almost beyond belief while being transported into another era. Moehringer s eye for detail and his ability to convey a gritty life and time make for a mesmerizing story. Bill Cusumano, Nicola s Books, Ann Arbor, MI = On the Rise

A little girl overhears their problem and puts her doll in danger on the monkey bars to give the boys the jumpstart they need to be heroes again. Kelly Bolduc, Hockessin Bookshelf, Hockessin, DE 10.
