New releases: James Patterson is back

On Tuesday, we'll see several new thrillers, with plots that stretch from Russia to Arizona.

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge (Little, Brown, $20). The greatest superpower of all isn't to be part-spider, part-man, or to cast magic spells - the greatest power is the power to create. Daniel X has that power.

Moscow Rules by Daniel Silva (Putnam, $26.95). The death of a journalist leads Gabriel Allon to Russia, where he finds that, in terms of spycraft, even he has something to learn. He's playing by Moscow rules now.

Damage Control by J.A. Jance (Morrow, $25.95). In the Coronado National Monument, an elderly couple's car goes off the side of a mountain and into oblivion. Cochise County Sheriff Joanna Brady investigates.

Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor.
