News tips

Some of the tastier morsels out this week:
* The Front, by Patricia Cornwell (Putnam, $22.95). Continues the adventures of Massachusetts state investigator Win Garano.
* Snuff, by Chuck Palahniuk (Doubleday, $24.95). Follows 600 men waiting for their turns in a record-breaking porn movie. I can't believe I just typed that, much less that someone wrote a book about it.
* A Time to Fight: Reclaiming a Fair and Just America, by Jim Webb (Broadway, $24.95). Political insight from the U.S. senator from Virginia.
* Moon Shell Beach, by Nancy Thayer (Ballantine, $24). Traces the reconciliation of two childhood friends on Nantucket.
* Blood Trail, by C.J. Box (Putnam, $24.95). The seventh crime novel with investigator Joe Pickett.
* Hospital: Man, Woman, Birth, Death, Infinity, Plus Red Tape, Bad Behavior, Money, God and Diversity on Steroids, by Julie Salamon (Penguin Press, $25.95). Chronicles a year in Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn. From the same author who brought us the inside-the-film-industry classic The Devil's Candy (about the making of The Bonfire of the Vanities).
* Odd Hours, by Dean Koontz (Bantam, $27). The newest supernatural mystery starring Odd Thomas, a former fry cook who can -- oh, here's a marketable skill -- communicate with the dead.
