New releases for week of Feb. 3

  Another big book follows last week’s release of “The Associate” by John Grisham.
  Up this week: “Run for Your Life” by James Patterson.
  This latest thriller from the best-selling author centers around a serial killer who calls himself The Teacher and is murdering New York’s arrogant social elite. Detective Mike Bennett, under pressure from the media as well as his boss, is assigned the case. While some New Yorkers think the wealthy are getting what’s coming to them, Detective Bennett must piece the clues together and discover the secret pattern to The Teacher’s lessons.
  “The Yankee Years” by Joe Torre also is expected out this week. Readers get a chance to peek inside the dugout as Torre and Tom Verducci reveal how, after taking over as manager of the New York Yankees in 1996, Torre united the team, won over the media and fans, and became one of the most successful managers in the game.
  Also hitting shelves this week: “Captain Freedom: A Superhero’s Quest for Truth, Justice, and the Celebrity He So Richly Deserves” by Gregory Xavier Robillard; “An Irish Country Village” by Patrick Taylor; “True Colors” by Kristin Hannah; “Very Valentine” by Adriana Trigiani; and “The Fetch” by Laura Whitcomb.
