|  | Every Breath You Take by Michelle Spring
Every breath you take. Every move you make. I'll be watching you.... Someone is stalking art teacher Monica Harcourt. Someone very dangerous, very deadly. Someone who leaves Monica's slashed and bludlgeoned body in her Cambridge flat. Private investigator Laura Principal, who had recently met Monica, feels compelled to investigate. She cooperates with the local police as she works on her paying cases -- including tailing a convict's scheming wife. Through interviews with Monica's students, her colleagues, and her handsome, alcoholic ex-lover, plus the discovery of some of the artist's secret work, Laura begins to fill in the outlines of Monica's life -- and turns up a serpent's lair of possible motives for her murder . . . from sexual harassment to homophobia, from professional jealousy to political scandal.

 | Timeline by John Bedford Lloyd, Michael Crichton, Stephen Lang
Tucked away in the arid New Mexico desert, Robert Doniger and his team of scientists develop a time machine based on the development of quantum technology. While Doniger envisions a lucrative monopoly on the tourism and travel industries, beloved Yale history professor Edward Johnston sees it as a chance to finally experience the subject of his scholarly profession. After getting his hands on a prototype of Doniger`s time machine, Johnston is hurled back in time to Medieval France. Problems arise, however, when the aged professor gets stuck in this colorful alternate universe filled with fantastic castles, knights in shining armor, and beautiful damsels in distress. Anxious to redeem his ticket to fame and fortune, Doniger sends out a daring rescue team made up of two ex-military types and three of Johnston`s university colleagues dressed in the latest Medieval styles complete with electronic sound pieces used for language translation. Soon after their arrival to the year 1357, the brawny military guides are slaughtered by horse soldiers hired by an evil English nobleman who has mistaken Johnston for a sorcerer and kidnapped him. Now it`s up to the academics to save the professor and find a way back to the twentieth century. AUTHOR: John Bedford Lloyd, Michael Crichton, Stephen Lang
