The Summons by John Grisham

Ray Atlee is a professor of law at the University of Virginia, he's forty-three, newly single, and still enduring the aftershocks of a surprise divorce. He has a younger brother, Forrest, who redefines the notion of a family's black sheep.

And he has a father, a very sick old man who lives alone in the ancestral home in Clanton, Mississippi, who is known to all as Judge Atlee, a beloved and powerful official who has towered over local law and politics for forty years. No longer on the bench, the Judge has withdrawn to the Atlee mansion and become a recluse.

With the end in sight, Judge Atlee issues a summons for both sons to return home to Clanton, to discuss the details of his estate. It is typed by the Judge himself, on his handsome old stationery, and gives the date and time for Ray and Forrest to appear in his study.

Ray reluctantly heads south, to his hometown, to the place where he grew up, which he prefers now to avoid. But the family meeting does not take place. The Judge dies too soon, and in doing so leaves behind a shocking secret known only to Ray. And perhaps someone else.

The Day Trader by Stephen Frey

The Millionaires by Brad Meltzer

Two brothers.
Three Secret Service agents.
And millions for the taking.
Brad Meltzer, the author of the runaway bestseller The First Counsel, is back with another edge-of-your-seat thriller-a tale of two brothers trying to hide in a world where your every step can be traced.

Something Wild by Linda Davies

Sarah Jensen's delicate beauty is deceptive: she is more than capable of taking care of herself. She's fought her way to the top as a financial trader. She's worked undercover for MI6. She's survived the death of her parents, the murder of her best friend, the assassination of her lover, and she refuses, now, to be vanquished by love. So she runs away from the one man who has touched her heart, rock star John Redford. Months later, when her son is born, Sarah keeps the identity of his father a secret, certain she will never see him again. Then she is asked to return to her old investment bank to investigate a potential new client, a rock star who is planning a huge financial deal to raise money against his future royalties. It can only work if the bank is certain there is no dark secret in the rock star's past that could jeopardize his earnings. Her new client is John Redford...
