The cosmic key : a thriller / by Donohue, Patrick,author.(CARDINAL)865117;

"While lecturing at a conference, world-renowned researcher of ancient civilizations Daniel Whitlock receives an urgent late-night visit from the FBI. A prominent nuclear physicist has been murdered at Idaho National Laboratory, with a baffling relic found near the body—one seemingly tied to William Shakespeare himself. Did the famous playwright have a secret? As Whitlock sorts through the bizarre clues, he follows an archaic cipher hidden in Shakespeare’s earliest printings, revealing an explosive truth about its author—and his true identity. The stakes are raised when Whitlock learns of a startling link: The relic is directly connected to the Cosmic Key—an ancient artifact whispered to be so powerful that it was once referred to as "all knowledge." Fiercely guarded by secret societies and passed down through the founding of America, the legend speaks of a trail of clues scattered throughout his works that reveals its location, buried for centuries somewhere in the New World. Joined by a beautiful Shakespearean scholar and an iconoclastic billionaire, Whitlock is thrust into a vast conspiracy that stretches to the highest levels of power. Caught between mighty adversaries in a frantic race against time, the search begins for the greatest treasure ever bestowed upon humankind."--

One drop of blood / by Holland, Thomas D.(CARDINAL)435495;

"As the director of the Department of the Army's Central Identification Laboratory, Robert Dean "Kel" McKelvey has made a career solving some of the country's most complex identification cases. The CIL is responsible for identifying all U.S. war dead from battlefields old and new around the world. The caseload is endless, the endgame invaluable. Kel's work - the examination of a bone or bone fragment - may bring blessed closure to thousands of military families and loved ones left behind. But after fifteen years at the CIL, Kel is fast approaching emotional meltdown. And that's when he encounters his thorniest case yet: the recovery of Jimmie Carl Trimble, a soldier from Arkansas who died a hero's death during the Vietnam War. When a rare DNA sequence turns up at both the Army and FBI labs, it points to the unthinkable: a link between Trimble and a forty-year-old unsolved racial killing in the Arkansas delta.Partnered uneasily with the volatile FBI Special Agent Michael Levine, Kel must peel back decades of silence to reveal a complex web of stolen identity, betrayal, patriotism, collusion, and lies."--BOOK JACKET.

Transhuman / by Bova, Ben,1932-2020author.(CARDINAL)139122;

"Luke Abramson, a brilliant cellular biologist who is battling lung cancer, has one joy in life, his ten-year-old granddaughter, Angela. When he learns that Angela has an inoperable brain tumor and is given less than six months to live, Abramson wants to try a new enzyme, Mortality Factor 4 (MORF4), that he believes will kill Angela's tumor. However, the hospital bureaucracy won't let him do it because MORF4 has not yet been approved by the FDA. Knowing that Angela will die before he can get approval of the treatment, Abramson abducts Angela from the hospital with plans to take her to a private research laboratory in Oregon. Luke realizes he's too old and decrepit to flee across the country with his sick granddaughter, chased by the FBI. So he injects himself with a genetic factor that will stimulate his body's production of telomerase, an enzyme that has successfully reversed aging in animal tests. As the chase weaves across the country from one research facility to another, Luke begins to grow physically younger, stronger. He looks and feels the way he did thirty or forty years ago. Yet his lung cancer is not abating; if anything the tumors are growing faster. And Angela is dying"--Provided by publisher.

The lost spy : an American in Stalin's secret service / by Meier, Andrew.(CARDINAL)458866; Meier, Andrew;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 361-380) and index.For half a century, the case of Isaiah Oggins, a 1920s New York intellectual brutally murdered in 1947 on Stalin's orders, remained hidden in the secret files of the KGB and the FBI--a footnote buried in the rubble of the Cold War. Then, in 1992, it surfaced briefly, when Boris Yeltsin handed over a deeply censored dossier to the White House. This book at last reveals the truth: Oggins was one of the first Americans to spy for the Soviets. Based on six years of international sleuthing, journalist Meier traces Oggins's rise in beguiling detail--a brilliant Columbia University graduate sent to run a safe house in Berlin and spy on the Romanovs in Paris and the Japanese in Manchuria--and his fall: death by poisoning in a KGB laboratory.--From publisher description.

The bone thief / by Bass, Jefferson.(CARDINAL)481238;

Dr. Bill Brockton has been called in on a seemingly routine case, to exhume a body and obtain a bone sample for a DNA paternity test. But when the coffin is opened, Brockton and his colleagues, including his graduate assistant Miranda Lovelady, are stunned to see that the corpse has been horribly violated. Brockton s initial shock gives way to astonishment as he uncovers a flourishing and lucrative black market in body parts. At the center of this ghoulish empire is a daring and prosperous grave robber. Soon Brockton finds himself drawn into the dangerous enterprise when the FBI recruits him to bring down the postmortem chop shop using corpses from the Body Farm as bait in an undercover sting operation. As Brockton struggles to play the unscrupulous role the FBI asks of him, his friend and colleague medical examiner Eddie Garcia faces a devastating injury that could end his career. Exposed to a near-lethal dose of radioactivity, Dr. Garcia has lost most of his right hand and his entire left hand. Out of options, he embarks on a desperate quest: both of his ravaged hands will be severed at the wrist and replaced with those from a cadaver. But unless suitable ones are found soon, the opportunity will be lost. As Brockton delves deep into the clandestine trade, he is faced with an agonizing choice: Is he willing to risk an FBI investigation and his own principles to help his friend? Will he be able to live with himself if he crosses that line? Will he be able to live with himself if he doesn t? And as the criminal case and the medical crisis converge, a pair of simpler questions arise: Will Dr. Garcia survive and will Brockton?
