Doll's Eyes
by Bari Wood"You're psychic; you can go places, see things no one else can . . . and that's fabulous and awesome and most of all useful." Eve Tilden Dodd Klein, thirtysomething scion of a rich Connecticut family, has inherited a powerful and fearsome legacy from her mother: clairvoyance. But she doesn't see her power as fabulous or awesome or useful or anything except a curse that has robbed her of her emotional peace and driven her husband away. She follows him to a small town in the Adirondacks in an attempt at reconciliation, and, through the hated clairvoyance, "witnesses" a murder in the woods. She is the only one who's seen the killing, and is inexorably drawn into the violent, horrifying web of the killer's dementia. Police Lieutenant Dave Latovsky, the tough but charming local cop who has been tracking the murderer, has no leads--until Eve gives him a fragment of a description. "His eyes are light brown. Same color as his hair. And they're empty. Never saw eyes like that--empty . . . dead . . . glassy. Like a doll's eyes." Those words lead Detective Latovsky closer to the killer, and in turn, the killer closer to Eve. Before long, the price of Eve's power may prove too high. "He's looking for me. Hunting for me." But both Eve and Latovsky are wrong about why--and can't imagine what the killer with doll's eyes would do if he found her. Doll's Eyes adds up to a first-class, spine-chilling suspense thriller that confirms Bari Wood's place as a master of the genre.

Dolly City
by Dalya Bilu Orly Castel-Bloom"Dolly City--a city without a base, without a past, without an infrastructure. The most demented city in the world." In the midst of a futuristic-primitive metropolis, the accumulation of all our urban nightmares, Doctor Dolly (certified by the University of Katmandu) finds a newborn baby in a black plastic bag, and decides to become a mother. Overcome by unfamiliar maternal urges, Dolly dispenses with her private lab of rare diseases and turns all her surgical passion onto her son. Ceaselessly cutting and sewing, Dolly is the scalpel-wielding version of the all-too-familiar Jewish Mother archetype, forever operating upon her son with destructive, invasive love. In this grotesque satire of war and the defensive measures taken to survive it, Orly Castel-Bloom, one of Israel's most provocative and original writers, turns her own scalpel upon that most holy of institutions, the myth of motherhood--and its implications in the life of a nation.
