Judgment prey / by Sandford, John,1944 February 23-author.;
"Alex Sand was spending the evening at home playing basketball with his two young sons when all three were shot in cold blood. A wealthy federal judge, there's no short list of people who could have a vendetta against Sands, but the gruesome murders, especially that of his children, turn their St. Paul community on its head. Sand was on the verge of a major donation to a local housing charity, Heart/Twin Cities, and with the money in limbo, eyes suddenly turn to his grieving widow, Margaret Cooper, to see what she might do with the money. Margaret, distraught over the death of her family, struggles to move forward, and can't imagine how or why anyone would target her husband. With public pressure mounting and both the local police force and FBI hitting dead end after dead end, Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers are called in to do what others could not: find answers. With each potential lead flawed, Davenport and Flowers are determined to chase every theory until they figure out who killed the Sands. But when they find themselves being stonewalled by the most unlikely of forces, the two wonder if perhaps each misdirection could lead them closer to the truth"--

The high notes : a novel / by Steel, Danielle,author.;
Iris Cooper has been singing ever since she can remember, hitting the high notes like no one else. When she is twelve, her father convinces the owner of a bar in Lake City, Texas, to let her perform, and she stuns the audience. In the ensuing years, never staying anywhere for long, father and daughter move from one dusty town to the next, her passion for music growing every time she takes the mike in another roadhouse. But it is not an easy life for Iris with her father in charge and using her income to pay for gambling, women, and booze. When she starts to tour at age eighteen, she takes on a real manager. Yet he exploits her too, and the singers and musicians she tours with are really the only family she has. It is they who give Iris the courage to finally fly free, leave the tour, and follow her dreams. After years of enduring the hardships of the road, exploitation, and abuse to do what she loves, Iris's big chance comes as her talent soars. But at the top at last, Iris still has to fight every step of the way. In The High Notes, Danielle Steel delivers an inspiring story about finding the strength to stand up for yourself and your dreams, no matter what it takes.

The lady on Esplanade / by White, Karen(Karen S.),author.;
"Nola Trenholm's attempt at starting her new life in New Orleans is disrupted when the ghosts and the men from her past return, in the third novel of the Royal Street series by New York Times bestselling author Karen White. Nola Trenholm was ready to move on from ghosts. She thought she finally had, and just got back to work on the restoration of her home. Even though that included the unsolicited help of Beau Ryan, licensed contractor and unwelcome reminder of her past. He also happened to be the psychic who risked his life to help rid her house of the ghosts. But that's all he was-he had a girlfriend, and Nola was definitely not interested in him. On the night of the dinner party to celebrate Nola saving Beau, she learned that another man from her past had recently moved to New Orleans: Cooper Ravenel, her high school crush and first heartbreak, and the man who helped Nola save Beau that night. Now that he was settling in, she planned to show him the house on Esplanade. Despite his return, everything else seemed to be falling into place, which may be why only Nola and Beau noticed the flickering lights followed by a women's wet footprints during dinner. That could only mean one thing: Beau's late mother still had unfinished business. And she needed her son's help ... "--
