STALKER - Faye Kellerman

(Headline Feature $27.50)

Already known as mistress of the genre, Faye Kellerman presents Stalker, another of her tours de force. It begins with a policewoman’s sixth sense - Cindy Decker suspects someone is watching her. Then, after the breaking and the night-time car pursuit, she knows. Someone is after her; trailing her; destroying her belongings and putting her in fear for her life.

But when the inexperienced policewoman - and daughter of a veteran of the force - opts to keep her fears secret and launch her own private investigation, how will it end?

Stalker is said to be a gripping tale, evoking the blind terror felt by an innocent woman as a ruthless maniac hunts her down. Says magazine: “Stalker is Mystery shrouded in skin-crawling suspense.”

ON WRITING - Stephen King

Also known for skin-crawling suspense, is Stephen King. But On Writing delivers fact and not fiction in a book that will both surprise and intrigue. On Writing provides an insight into King’s life, writing and influences.

On Writing uncovers such hidden treasures as King’s literary and film influences, his first idea for a story and the true-life tail that inspired Carrie. Part writer’s memoir and part practical manual, this hardcover book will be one to cherish, whether the reader is an aspiring writer or just a collector of fine literature.
