THE ASCENDANT
CHAPMAN, DREW
Numbers don’t lie. Not according to Garrett Reilly who, just two weeks past his twenty-sixth birthday,
thinks he’s probably the best bond analyst at his brokerage—maybe even the best in all of Manhattan.
Garrett’s memory for numbers is photographic. But he doesn’t just memorize them; he sorts them, ranks
them, senses patterns in them. As he watches buy and sell numbers float across his Bloomberg terminal,
Garrett notices what nobody else can: that US Treasury bonds are being sold off at an alarming rate—two
hundred billion dollars’ worth. It’s a discovery that he knows will make him incredibly rich. Then the United
States military arrives at his office, and Garrett’s life is blown to pieces. As Captain Alexis Truffant
explains, Garrett has stumbled upon something much larger—and scarier—than he could have imagined:
the first attack in a covert war of unthinkable proportions. His biggest problem? Numbers don’t lie…but
governments can.

AUNTY LEE'S DELIGHTS: A SINGAPOREAN MYSTERY
YU, OVIDIA
After losing her husband, Rosie Lee could easily have become one of Singapore’s “tai tai,” an idle rich
lady devoted to mah-jongg and luxury shopping. Instead she threw herself into building a culinary empire
from her restaurant, Aunty Lee’s Delights, where spicy Singaporean home cooking is graciously served to
locals and tourists alike. But when a body is found in one of Singapore’s beautiful tourist havens, and
when one of her wealthy guests fails to show at a dinner party, Aunty Lee knows that the two are likely
connected. The murder and disappearance throws together Aunty Lee’s henpecked stepson Mark, his
social-climbing wife Selina, a gay couple whose love is still illegal in Singapore, and an elderly Australian
tourist couple whose visit—billed at first as a pleasure cruise—may mask a deeper purpose. Investigating
the murder is rookie Police Commissioner Raja, who quickly discovers that the savvy and well-connected
Aunty Lee can track down clues even better than local law enforcement.
