Welcome to Los Angeles\, birthplace and residence of Tori Spelling.
It's not every Hollywood starlet whose name greets you on a Virgin Airways flight into la-la land. But Tori Spelling has come to accept that her life is a spectacle. Her name is her brand\, and business is booming. Too bad when your job is to be yourself\, you can't exactly take a break.
Tori finally has everything she thought she wanted—a loving family and a successful career—but trying to live a normal life in Hollywood is a little weird. With the irresistible wit\, attitude\, and humor that fans have come to love\, the New York Times bestselling author of sTORI telling and Mommywood is back with more hilarious\, heartwarming\, and candid stories of juggling work\, marriage\, motherhood\, and reality television cameras.
Tori comes clean about doing her time on jury duty\, stalking herself on Twitter\, discovering her former 90210 castmates' "\;I Hate Tori"\; club\, contracting swine flu\, and contacting Farrah Fawcett from the dead. Like many mothers\, she struggles to find balance (Stars\, they're just like us!)—only most women don't have to battle it out with paparazzi at the grocery store. She talks openly about the darker side of life in the spotlight\: media scrutiny over her weight and her marriage to Dean McDermott\, her controversial relationship with Dean's ex-wife\, and her unfolding reconciliation with her mother.
Having it all isn't always easy—especially when you're a perfectionist—but with the help of her unconventional family and friends\, an underwear-clad spiritual cleansing or two\, and faith in herself\, she's learning to find her happy ending. Because when you're Tori Spelling\, every day brings uncharted terriTORI.

Anthony Rabinowitz Gersten assumed her marriage was great -- and why not? Jonah Gersten\, M.D.\, a Park Avenue plastic surgeon\, clearly adored her. He was handsome\, successful\, and a doting dad to their four-year-old triplets Dashiell\, Evan\, and Mason. But when Jonah is found in the Upper East Side apartment of second-rate "\;escort"\; Dorinda Dillon\, Susie is overwhelmed with questions left unanswered. It's bad enough to know your husband's been murdered\, but even worse when you're universally pitied (and quietly mocked) because of the sleaze factor. None of it makes sense to Susie -- not a sexual liaison with someone like Dorinda\, not the "\;better not to discuss it"\; response from Jonah's partners. With help from her toughtalking\, high-style Grandma Ethel who flies in from Miami\, she takes on her snooty in-laws\, her husband's partners\, the NYPD\, and the DA (is the person arrested for the homicide the actual perp\, or just an easy mark for a prosecutor who hates the word "\;unsolved"\;?)\, as she tries to prove that her wonderful life with Jonah was no lie. Susan Isaacs brilliantly turns the conventions of the mystery on end as Susie Gersten\, suburban mom\, floral designer\, and fashion plate\, searches not so much for answers to her husband's death as for answers to her own life. (Scribner\, $25)

With extraordinary authenticity\, a superb cast of characters\, and heart-stopping tension as it moves from Salonika to Paris to Berlin and back\, Spies of the Balkans is a stunning novel about a man who risks everything to right—in many small ways—the world’s evil. In the ancient port of Salonika\, Greece\, in 1940\, the invasion is coming\, it’s only a matter of time\, and the people of Salonika can only watch and wait. At the center of this drama is Costa Zannis\, a senior police official\, head of an office that handles special “political” cases. As war approaches\, the spies begin to circle\, from the Turkish legation to the German secret service. And Zannis is soon in the game\, securing an escape route—from Berlin to Salonika\, and then to a tenuous safety in Turkey\, a route protected by German lawyers\, Balkan detectives\, and Hungarian gangsters. And hunted by the Gestapo. Meanwhile\, as war threatens\, the erotic life of the city grows passionate. For Zannis\, that means a British expatriate who owns the local ballet academy\, a woman from the dark side of Salonika society\, and the wife of a local shipping magnate.

Dazed and disoriented\, she regains consciousness after the blast to find a man standing over her with a white plastic injector. She feels the prick of a needle and the rush of medication under her skin\, but before she can make a sound\, the man is gone. Shaken by the event and unsure of what substance was pumped into her\, Emma calls the one person who can help her figure things out\: Edward Banner of the security company Darkview. But Banner has his hands full with another emergency\: Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden have attacked a cruise ship\, and Darkview has been hired to assist with the rescue. However\, according to intelligence sources\, the ship is carrying cargo far more valuable than wealthy passengers—something that could be a new weapon of unknown origin. Suspecting the weapon may be chemical in nature\, Banner asks Emma to infiltrate the ship and use her professional expertise to identify it. Emma knows it's a risky job\, one that she might not survive. But when she learns that special agent Cameron Sumner—a man who has saved her life in the past—is among the hostages\, nothing will stop her from getting onboard\, no matter what the cost.

Now\, having severed his ties with the Office\, Gabriel has retreated to the Cornish coast with only one thing in mind\: healing his wife\, Chiara\, after her encounter with evil. But an unspeakable act of violence once again draws Gabriel into a world of danger when an art restorer is brutally murdered and the newly discovered Rembrandt on which he is working taken. Gabriel is persuaded to use his unique skills to trace the painting and those responsible for the crimes\; but\, as he investigates\, he discovers there are terrible secrets connected to the painting\, and terrible men behind them. Before he is done\, he will have undertaken a journey through some of the twentieth century's darkest history-and come face-to-face with some of the same darkness within himself. (Putnam Adult\, $26.95)
