Heavy hitters on audio

We have some new audiobooks on the shelves that feature bestselling authors:

J.A. Jance's latest J.P. Beaumont novel may have gotten mixed reviews, but fans of the series will still enjoy the experiences of this Seattle-based detective. In Justice Denied - the 18th novel in the series - Beaumont works on 3 cases simultaneously and continues his relationship with his girlfriend Mel Soames.

Early in his career, Stephen King wrote under the pen name of Richard Bachman, and one of his early novels has just been published this year. Blaze is the nickname of a physically powerful man whose horrific childhood has left him mentally retarded. Befriended and influenced by one of King's trademark evil characters, Blaze pursues a plot to kidnap a baby for ransom. King manages to make Blaze a sympathetic character, and this is a powerful book.

Play Dirty is another tale of sex and suspense from popular author Sandra Brown. This one deals with a disgraced ex-NFL player, an impotent millionaire looking for someone to impregnate his wife, and an unsolved murder.

Kingdom Come: the final victory is the conclusion to the hugely popular Left Behind series by Time LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. It's taken 12 years, but readers can finally find out what happens as the Millennium ends and the final battle between good and evil begins.
