FICTION
1. A Nyonya in Texas, Lee Su Kim (2007)
Tired of Europeans describing 'exotic' Asian cultures? Here is a refreshing twist with Lee Su Kim, a Straits Chinese (Nyonya) writer, observing Americans as she writes about her 'expat' experiences in Texas, the Lone Star State. The author regales us with her brilliant and funny insights into life and society in Texas, highlighting the complexities of cross-cultural encounters, its joys and travails.
2. Pet Sematary, Stephen King (2001)
When the Creeds move into a beautiful old house in rural Maine, it all seems too good to be true: physician father, beautiful wife, charming little daughter, adorable infant son -- and now an idyllic home. As a family, they've got it all ... right down to the friendly cat. But the nearby woods hide a blood-chilling truth - more terrifying than death itself ... and hideously more powerful.
3. Trunk Music, Michael Connelly (2009)
Harry Bosch is back in Homicide after disciplinary leave. In the wooded hills overlooking the Hollywood Bowl, he opens the trunk of a white Rolls Royce and finds a corpse. It looks like a simple case of Trunk Music - a Mafia hit, the victim shot in his own vehicle - but the Mafia weren't the only ones after movie producer Tony Aliso. Nailing Aliso's elusive killer looks like the only way to make sure that Harry's first case back in homicide isn't his last in the LAPD.
4. Sign of the Cross, Chris Kuzneski (2006)
A Vatican priest is found murdered on the shores of Denmark - nailed to a cross in the shadow of Hamlet's castle. He is the first victim in a vicious killing spree that spans the world. Each horrific murder exactly mirrors the crucifixion of Christ. Meanwhile, deep in the Roman catacombs of Orvieto, an archaeologist uncovers an ancient scroll dating back two thousand years. The scroll, he knows, holds the key to a dark and treacherous secret that will rock the very foundations of the Church.
5. No Crystal Stair, Mairuth Sarfield (1997)
Marion Willow, a proud young widow must work at two jobs to ensure that her three girls develop lifestyles not hindered by class and colour. The bitter-sweet experience of Torrie Delacourt, her elegant American expatriate neighbour, could help Marion's half-grown up daughters survive Canada's subtle racism which, though not legislated, wounds and hems them in. But the women's rivalry for the love of Edmund Thompson, a handsome railway porter, pits them against each other. With humour and sensitivity, No Crystal Stair reveals both the conflict and the human heart of the proud, tight knit Black community of the Little Burgundy district of Quebec in the mid-forties.
6. Piercing the Darkness, Frank E. Peretti (1989)
It all begins in Bacon's Corner, a tiny farming community far from the interstate ... An attempted murder, a case of mistaken identity, and a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school. Sally Beth Roe, a young loner, a burn-out, a kind of 'leftover hippie', finds herself caught in the middle of these bizarre events, fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past.
7. Nostradamus Predicts the End of the World, Rene Noorbergen (1991)
400 years ago, a mysterious French psychic named Nostradamus was able to foresee with astonishing clarity many world events that have since become history - The rise of Mikhail Gorbachev and Glasnost, the growing power of Japan, Arab terrorism, the Vietnam War. Are we on the brink of a new world order, ruled by terrorist fanatics and their greed for power?
8. Angels and Demons, Dan Brown (2001)
From the author of The Da Vinci Code, a no-holds barred, pull-out-all-the-stops, breathless tangle of a thriller - a heck of a good read!
9. Violets are Blue, James Patterson (2001)
Two San Francisco joggers are found dead - bitten and hung by their feet to drain the blood. Is this the work of a cult, of role players, or even of modern-day vampires? Desperate to stop the deaths, Alex Cross teams up with Jamilla Hughes, a savvy woman detective, and the FBI's Kyle Craig. But Alex has never been closer to defeat, or in greater danger. In a shocking conclusion, he must survive a deadly confrontation - only to learn at last, the awful secret of the Mastermind.
10. First Among Equals, Jeffrey Archer (1984)
In the 1960s four ambitious new MPs take their seats at Westminster. Over three decades they share the explosive passions of the race for power with their wives and families, men and women caught up in an explosive game for the highest stakes of all. But only one man can gain the ultimate goal - the office of Prime Minister.
