From International Number One Bestseller Andrew Gross, The Last Brother is the thrilling historical novel about three brothers and the Mafia in 1930s New York.
1930s New York City. Three brothers grow up poor on the Lower East Side, until the death of their father forces them to find work to support their family. Each brother takes a different path.
Twelve-year-old Morris Rabishevsky apprentices himself to a garment manufacturer with the aim of running the business. Sol, six years older, heads to accounting school but is forced to drop out. Scarred by a family tragedy, Harry falls under the spell of the charismatic Louis Buchalter, who in a few short years becomes the
most ruthless mobster in town. Morris convinces Sol to go into business with him, but Harry can't be lured away from the glamour, power and money of the mob.
As their business grows, Buchalter sets his sights on the unions that control the garment maker's factories, setting up a fatal showdown that could bring them together or shatter their family forever.

What happens when an old spook loses his mind? Does the Service have a retirement home for those who know too many secrets but don’t remember they’re secret? Or does someone take care of the senile spy for good?
These are the questions River Cartwright must ask when his grandfather, a Cold War–era operative, starts to forget to wear pants and begins to suspect everyone in his life has been sent by the Service to watch him.
But River has other things to worry about. A bomb goes off in the middle of a busy shopping center and kills forty innocent civilians. The agents of Slough House have to figure out who is behind this act of terror before the situation escalates.

Kit is still the only person who knows what Diane did. And now Diane knows something about Kit that could destroy everything she’s worked so hard for.
How far would Kit go, to make the hard work, the sacrifice, worth it in the end? What wouldn’t she give up? Diane thinks Kit is just like her. Maybe she’s right. Ambition: it’s in the blood . . .

The new white-knuckled thriller in the NUMA series from the No. 1
Sunday Times bestselling Grand Master of Adventure, Clive Cussler
Kurt Austin and the NUMA crew face swarms of deadly bio-hacked sea
locusts, a runaway AI system, and a sinister cult in the latest novel
in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series created by the "grand
master of adventure" Clive Cussler.
When Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala investigate a mass stranding of aquatic
life in the Indian Ocean, they accidentally uncover a much deeper
mystery. A strange figure soon steals NUMA’s findings, forcing a
high-speed chase—someone really didn’t want them examining those dead
whales. But who, and why?
A cryptic text through the NUMA satellite network makes things still
stranger: these odd phrases and numbers look like NUMA codes. But who
could be tantalizing the crew with such specific knowledge of their
tech? Are they being helped by an old friend, or lured into a trap by a
traitor who knows a little too much about NUMA’s inner workings?
Kurt, Joe, and even Max, the agency’s supercomputer, will have to
investigate like never before as they decrypt data, infiltrate a cult
of cloned men, and prepare for a battle on two very different planes:
one physical; one digital.
The aquatic stranding was just the beginning of a sinister plan
concocted by a mind more brilliant than any they’ve ever faced—the mind
of a machine. A new, terrifying world order is being plotted. First
marine ecosystems will be devastated, then the entire globe’s . .
.Unless the NUMA crew can stop this code of desolation.
'You Haunt me like a beautiful jewel, hung in ghastly night' -
William Shakespeare Sam had kept his final promise to his late wife
Annie, but sitting on the steps outside the National Gallery in
Trafalgar Square, London, he can hear a woman shouting behind him;
their meeting will alter the direction of their lives forwver. But
was their meeting by accident? Or had fate, or a force beyond their
control, drawn them together? Both bear scars from their past:
Sam's due to a betrayal of love and trust - caustic memories that
eat away at his soul; Penny's because of guilt from early
childhood, loney and friendless - blame which won't allow her to
believe in herself. When their friendship takes on a momentum of
its own, Sam becomes drawn into her life as an actress - and the
lives of her two meddling, eccentric aunties. But behind the
scenes, simmering revenge and betrayal is being acted out .... a
plot that could not only destroy Penny's career and sanity, but
Sam's reputation as a man who, come hell or high water, never ever
turns his back on friends.
