Blind Man's Alley by Justin Peacock
This one came from Doubleday/Random House as a review copy in connection with the giveaway we're hosting. Be sure to enter to win this exciting adventure. It's one of my favorite genres: the good mystery with some legal maneuvering. I can't wait to dive in.

I've got a stack of Donna Andrews books here waiting to be read. I've heard so many great comments from lots of folks I trust. This latest one came as a win from Lesa at Lesa's Book Critiques. If you haven't visited her blog, it's really work a look. She runs great, easy to enter contests over there all the time. Thanks Lesa

Confirmation by Ralph Reed
This one is from the Early Reviewers program at LibraryThing.com. I don't think I realized who the author was when I 'requested' this one. Based on some reviews already published on LT, and my own political leanings, I may have some difficulty with this one. But I will give it a try.

About the BookNewly elected U.S. president Bob Long is weighing reports of nuclear weapons in Iran when he learns Justice Peter Corbin Franklin, 86-year-old liberal conscience of the Supreme Court, has suffered a massive stroke.

Long faces a series of political missteps while his court nominee, Marco Diaz, suffers vicious character accusations in the media for his religious beliefs and rumors of a tragic past.Meanwhile, terrorists in Iran have hijacked more nuclear materials and are threatening to bomb a major city if the U.S. or Israel attacks. Chaos reigns in the nation’s capitol . . .
