Brian Azzarello's new graphic novel, Filthy Rich ($20)

Richard "JUNK" Junkin has always lived on the edge of trouble. A former professional football star who's career was cut short by injury (and gambling problems), he now finds himself selling cars in New Jersey, dreaming of what-might-have-been and lusting after his boss's unbelievably spoiled, unbelievably sexy and unbelievably rich daughter, Victoria.So when the boss asks him to be her personal bodyguard as she tears up the New York City club scene, he leaps at the chance. But before long Junk becomes more of a lapdog than a chaperone, doing all of Victoria's dirty work...up to, and including, murder.This is the story of FILTHY RICH--the story of a disgraced man with a chip on his shoulder whose best years are behind him, dropped in the middle of a group of over-privileged rich girls ruthlessly competing with each other. For the love of a filthy rich girl (that he knows in his heart won't redeem him), he'll do whatever it takes because he just can't resist the hell of a ride she takes him on...in the fast lane. Without any brakes.

M.E. Harrigan's 9800 Savage Road ($25)

In Dec., 2000, in a tiny office in the basement of the NSA, a handful of analysts work on a project so secret its existence is known to fewer than 100 people. The team is intercepting satellite phone calls from Osama bin Laden. Suddenly the conversations stop. Then a Senior Executive is murdered inside the NSA complex, just one of a spiraling series of disasters inflicted from both inside and outside the carefully concealed agency. Analyst Alexandra is pitted against the escalating crises. "A truly intriguing and thought-provoking look behind the scenes in the war on terror." —Nelson DeMille.
Now retired to Tucson, Harrigan has distilled her 27 years with the NSA into a debut that could only have been written by an agency insider.
