Five New Titles at Birmingham's Baldwin Public Library

Need a little action, suspense or adventure to get you through the week? The Baldwin Public Library has just what you need with the latest batch of new arrivals.

Identical by Scott Turow

State Senator Paul Giannis is a candidate for Mayor of Kindle County. His 
identical twin brother Cass is newly released from prison, 25 years after pleading guilty to his girlfriend's murder. When Evon Miller, an ex-FBI agent who is the head of security for the Kronon family business, and private investigator Tim Brodie begin a re-investigation of Dita's death, a complex 
web of murder, sex, and betrayal unfolds.

Johnny Carson by Henry Bushkin

An unreserved and incisive account of the career and personal life of the "King of Late Night" at the height of his fame and influence is shared from the perspective of his lawyer, wingman, fixer, and closest confidant.

The Double by George Pelecanos

The job seems simple enough: retrieve the valuable painting - "The Double" - Grace Kinkaid's ex-boyfriend stole from her. It's the sort of thing Spero Lucas specializes in: finding what's missing, and doing it quietly. But Grace wants more. She wants Lucas to find the man who humiliated her - a violent career criminal with a small gang of brutal thugs at his beck and call.

The Heat (DVD)

An uptight FBI Special Agent is paired with a foul-mouthed Boston cop to take down a ruthless drug lord.

Pacific Rim (DVD)

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, have humans on the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
