Thomas Holland's ONE DROP OF BLOOD (1400102375, $37.99) provides a forensic thriller by the scientific director of the Department of Defense's Central Identification Lab, pairs this with a vivid narration by Patrick Lawlor, and tells of one Robert 'Kel' McKelvey, who faces a particularly challenging case in the recovery of an Arkansas soldier who died a hero's death in Vietnam, until a link between him and an unsolved racial killing emerges. Plenty of tension comes alive in audio. Colin G. Calloway's THE SCRATCH OF A PEN: 1763 AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF NORTH AMERICA (1400102332, $29.99) receives a smooth and evocative voice in Simon Vance as it charts the story of 1763, when the Treaty of Paris would end war and change the world. Thomas Perry's NIGHTLIFE (1400102413, $39.99) pairs audio narrator Shelly Fraiser's warm and clear rendition with the tense thriller of two women pitted against each other: a lovely serial killer and a detective. An excellent story of suspense. Ace Atkins' WHITE SHADOW (1400102405, $39.99) pairs long-time audio veteran William Dufris' experienced and lively style with the story of 1955 Tampa's underworld, where the death of a mob boss leads to a probe of his secrets. Nicholas Wade's BEFORE THE DAWN: REDISCOVERING THE LOST HISTORY OF OUR ANCESTORS (1400102324, $37.99) receives veteran narrator Alan Sklar's clear and revealing voice to add to the lively nonfiction examination of how language began, how ancestors defeated the Neanderthals, and how races evolved. Marc Wortman's THE MILLIONAIRES' UNIT (1400102502, $39.99) reveals the nonfiction story of a generation of young privileged students who participated in the Yale flying club--and were prepared to give up their elite positions to join the war in France. Patrick Lawlor's award-winning voice brings events to life. Morgan Llywelyn's THE GREENER SHORE (1400102537, $34.95) pairs British actor Simon Vance's award-winning voice with the story of ancient druids in Celtic Gaul who face Roman invasion and exile in Hibernia. Fast-paced action comes to life in audio with these new winners.
