New releases: missing skiers and hookers

This week's releases include thrillers for kids and adults. You'll find yourself looking for lemurs, skiers and prostitutes. All are due out Tuesday.

Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox, by Eoin Colfer (Disney-Hyperion, $17.99). Ages 9-12. In the sixth book of the series, Artemis' mother has contracted a deadly disease -- and the only cure lies in the brain fluid of African lemurs.

Say Goodbye, by Lisa Gardner (Bantam, $25). Prostitutes are disappearing, one by one, with no explanation, and no one but FBI agent Kimberly Quincy seems to care.

Just Too Good to Be True, by E. Lynn Harris (Doubleday, $23.95) This is a sweeping novel about mothers and sons, football and beauty shops, secrets and lies.

Killer View, by Ridley Pearson (Putnam, $24.95). When a skier goes missing at Sun Valley's Galena Summit, Sheriff Walt Fleming quickly assembles his crack search-and-rescue team and heads out into the snowy night. Within minutes, a shot rings out, and one of their team is dead.

Rules of Deception, by Christopher Reich (Doubleday, $24.95). The twisting story line revolves around Jonathan Ransom, a 37-year-old surgeon for Doctors Without Borders, whose wife is killed while mountain climbing in the Swiss Alps. As Ransom struggles to come to grips with this tragedy, he receives two mysterious baggage claim tickets addressed in her name.

About the bloggers
While she always preferred The Hardy Boys to Nancy Drew, Nancy Knight grew up reading nearly everything she could get her hands on, including a probably unhealthy amount of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike, with the obligatory Jane Austen thrown in. She'll still read just about anything you put in front of her, especially the funny or weird. She lives in the city with her books, cat and drum set.

Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is an assistant managing editor and Sunday editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
