How far do the ripples of violence go? Beginning with an act of family violence
in 2008, The Circle of Thirteen ($26.95) spans seven decades,
culminating in the desperate effort by Julia Moro, the U.N. Security Director,
to stop a major act of terror. Petrocelli weaves the story around themes of
poverty, political corruption, environmental disaster, and the backlash against
the rising role of women.
