AN UNDERWATER GRAVEYARD IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...A MYSTERIOUS
SEAPORT IN THE LOUISIANA BAYOUS...A DIABOLICAL PLOT TO DESTROY
AMERICA!
When NUMA agent DIRK PITT(R) rescues a beautiful undercover
agent in a daring underwater operation at Orion Lake, just north of
Seattle, he confronts a sinister network run by Qin Shang, a
ruthless smuggler who sells Chinese immigrants into slavery.
Shang's campaign contributions have bought him a collection of
powerful U.S. politicians, but Pitt is not a man to be subverted by
politics. As he moves to probe Shang's mystifying seaport in the
Louisiana bayous, his investigation involves him in an
adrenaline-pumped race up the Mississippi River and a desperate
dash to recover sunken Chinese treasures lost half a century
before. And in Qin Shang, Pitt faces ones of his most formidable
foes -- a madman bent on killing thousands of innocent civilians
with a catastrophic surge of mass destruction.
Elizabeth's reign is reaching its winter and England's old
adversaries are fading. But in a world on the brink of change,
showing any weakness can be fatal... 1598. Nicholas Shelby,
unorthodox physician and reluctant spy for Robert Cecil, has
brought his wife Bianca and their child home from exile in Padua.
Welcome at court, his star is in the ascendancy. But he has
returned to a dangerous world. Two old enemies are approaching
their final reckoning. England and Spain are exhausted by war. In
London, Elizabeth is entering the twilight of her reign. In Madrid,
King Philip of Spain is dying. Perhaps now is the time for one last
throw of the dice. Elizabeth has seen off more than one Spanish
attempt at invasion. But still she is not safe. In Ireland,
rebellion against her rule is raging. And if Spain can take
Ireland, England will be more vulnerable than ever. When England's
greatest living poet, Edmund Spenser, sends Robert Cecil an
enigmatic and mysterious plea for help from his Irish fastness,
Cecil dispatches Nicholas to investigate. Soon he and Bianca find
themselves caught up not just in bloody rebellion, but in the
lethal power-play between Cecil and the one man Elizabeth believes
can restore Ireland to her, the unpredictable Robert Devereux, Earl
of Essex.

"New York Times" bestselling author Carl Hiaasen serves up a
humorous helping of "taut, fast-paced action...crisp and hot"
After dispatching a pistol-packing intruder from his home with the
help of a stuffed Marlin head, Mick Stranahan can't deny that
someone is out to get him. His now-deceased intruder carries no
I.D., and as a former Florida state investigator, Stranahan knows
there are plenty of potential culprits. His long list of enemies
includes an off point hit man, a personal injury lawyer of
billboard fame, a notoriously irritating TV journalist, and a
fumbling plastic surgeon.
Now, if he wants to keep fishing into his golden years, Stranahan
has no choice but to come out of retirement to close this one last
case...
An electrifying thrill-ride of a novel that peeks behind the white
picket fences of suburbia, "The Innocent" is at once a twisting,
turning, emotionally-charged story, and a compelling tale of the
choices people make and the repercussions that remain.

The incredible thriller about a codeword, an extraordinary murder -
and the detective who must solve both to stop a deadly plot fifty
years in the making. Geiger is the perfect read for fans of I Am
Pilgrim by Terry Hayes and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg
Larsson. __________________ The landline rings as Agneta is waving
off her grandchildren. Just one word comes out of the receiver:
'Geiger'. For decades, Agneta has always known that this moment
would come, but she is shaken. She knows what it means. Retrieving
her weapon from its hiding place, she attaches the silencer and
creeps up behind her husband before pressing the barrel to his
temple. Then she squeezes the trigger and disappears - leaving
behind her wallet and keys. The extraordinary murder is not Sara
Nowak's case. But she was once close to those affected and, defying
regulations, she joins the investigation. What Sara doesn't know is
that the mysterious codeword is just the first piece in the puzzle
of an intricate and devastating plot fifty years in the making . .

'I doubt if a more exciting and muscular book will come along this
year' Peterborough Telegraph Money can't buy everything But it can
buy revenge Can a doctor take lives instead of saving them? British
doctor Raj Patel puts his own life on the line to treat the injured
in war-torn Syria. His medical skills help casualties survive
against all the odds. But Raj needs to rely on a completely
different set of skills when he is taken hostage in a dangerous
case of mistaken identity. Billionaire big-game hunter Jon van der
Sandt is driven by revenge - his family have been killed by
jihadist terrorists and he wants his vengeance up close and
personal. He has hired ex Special Forces hard men to snatch the
ISIS killers from the desert and transport them halfway across the
world to the vast wilderness of his American estate. But they grab
Raj by mistake, and once the killing begins it's too late to plead
mistaken identity. To survive, he'll have to become as ruthless a
killer as the man who is hunting him.
An idealistic American doctor is imprisoned and sentenced to death
in a corrupt Central American country. Now he must figure out how
to escape and rescue his beautiful wife, who has also been taken
hostage-and is being tortured beyond imagination. Trapped in a jail
cell in a troubled Central American republic, Martin Springer, an
idealistic U.S. volunteer doctor, faces execution. His "crime"
having witnessed the massacre of an entire village by government
forces. His beautiful and determined wife, Katherine, arrives in
the country with money in hand to try and save him, but she too is
arrested. Her crime: resisting the advances of General Vaca, the
sadistic head of the secret police. Her punishment: imprisonment
and degradation in a low-class brothel. When word of his wife's
plight reaches Springer, he must find a way to escape from his
dungeon cell, find his wife and rescue her, and kill her
tormentors-and in the process shed some of his humanitarianism and
even take on the brutality of his captors.
It's payback time and revenge can be sweet--if somewhat
complicated. All that Ivanna Delimkova --the new queen of the
Moscow cartel--wants is to get even with those who ripped them off.
But this proves far from simple--none of her targets are quite what
they appear. Seemingly innocent former SAS officer Harry Linley
finds himself in the midst of Russian mobsters, Iranian secret
agents, a British computer hacker, and a bumbling MI6 agent with a
knack for accidentally predicting the next international crisis.
These are all the ingredients for a masterful and humorous thriller
that races between the Gulf States, Singapore, Moscow, Iran,
Bermuda and London--purring contentedly in the middle of it all is
Bunny, a Persian cat presumed dead but very much alive.
