James Grady, most famous as the author of “Six Days of the Condor,” is back with another thriller, “Mad Dogs.” The story is set in a secret insane asylum for CIA operatives who have burned out. Five of them are framed for the murder of their counselor. Nice set up, eh?

On the coffee table front, here are three you might want to put on your possible gift list: “Desert Light: A Photographer’s Journey through America’s Desert Southwest” by John Annerino; Matt Martinez’s “Mex Tex: Traditonal Tex Mex Taste” (yum) and “Made To Be Broken: The 50 Greatest Records and Streaks In Sports History” by Allen St. John.

The great thing about these nonfiction books is that the title is all the explanation you need. Happy shopping.
