*Sie
German adjectives have several declension schemes, depending on what precedes them: there's a difference whether the adjective follows a definite or indefinite article. See, for example, http://germanforenglishspeakers.com/adjectives/adjective-declensions/ for more details.

Es müsste bei der Verwendung des unbestimmten Artikels heißen: "Haben Sie EIN neueS Buch von Sandra Brown?" Wenn der bestimmte Artikel verwendet wird, heißt es "das neue Buch".
