Night School,” by Lee Child (Adult Fiction) – Jack Reacher goes back in time to 1996 when Reacher is still in the army and is sent back to school. His three-man class is a front for a secret mission to uncover the plot behind a message intercepted in Germany which reads “the American wants 100 million dollars.” Reacher recruits the best soldier he has ever worked with: Sergeant Frances Neagley to get their man and save the world from an epic act of terrorism. From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, “Night School” moves like a bullet through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked identities, and new and terrible enemies as Reachers maneuvers inside the game and outside the law.

The Wrong Side of Goodbye,” by Michael Connelly (Mystery) - Former LAPD detective Harry Bosch is hired as a private eye to find out whether a reclusive billionaire has an heir related to him by blood. Now well into his 80s, the man had left behind a pregnant underage Mexican girl “on the wrong side of goodbye” when he was a college student. Harry’s search will lead him into the heart of Chicano culture in Southern California and the investigation will expose him and his teenage daughter to great danger as the board members of the billionaire’s company seek to protect their access to wealth and power. Meanwhile, Harry has been taken on as a volunteer reserve officer by the San Fernando Police Department to investigate cold cases and has succeeded in linking a series of bold and brutal rapes.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Double Down,” by Jeff Kinney (Juvenile Fiction) – The pressure’s really piling up on Greg Heffley. His mom thinks video games are turning his brain to mush, so she wants her son to put down the controller and explore his “creative side.” As if that’s not scary enough, Halloween’s just around the corner and the frights are coming at Greg from every angle. When Greg discovers a bag of gummy worms, it sparks an idea. Can he get his mom off his back by making a movie . . . and will he become rich and famous in the process? Or will doubling down on this plan just double Greg’s troubles?
