PRESTO VARIATIONS
LAMOTHE, LEE
Detectives Ray Tate and Djuna Brown are back from a vacation in Paris fraudulently funded by a stolen
State Police credit card. While waiting to find out if they're going to be fired or jailed, the couple is
assigned to the Green Squad, a dead-end job shuffling paper and counting contraband money. But while
interrogating a money smuggler, Tate and Brown uncover a massive currency stash they hope will keep
them out of jail. Their target is drug trafficker Laszlo "Marko" Markowitz, who has millions in cocaine
profits to be laundered and shipped into Canada.

PURE GOLD BABY
DRABBLE, MARGARET
Jessica Speight, a young anthropology student in 1960s London, is at the beginning of a promising
academic career when an affair with her married professor turns her into a single mother. Anna is a pure
gold baby with a delightful, sunny nature, but it soon becomes clear that she will not be a normal child. As
readers are drawn deeper into Jessica’s world, they are confronted with questions of responsibility,
potential, even age, all with Margaret Drabble’s characteristic intelligence, sympathy and wit. Drabble
once wrote, “Family life itself, that safest, most traditional, most approved of female choices, is not a
sanctuary; it is, perpetually, a dangerous place.” Told from the point of view of the group of mothers who
surround Jess, The Pure Gold Baby is a brilliant, prismatic novel thattakes us into that place with satiric
verve, trenchant commentary, and a movingly intimate story of the unexpected transformations at the
heart of motherhood.
