Tyrell Hawthorne was a naval intelligence officer--one of the
best--until the rain-swept night in Amsterdam when his wife was
murdered, an innocent victim of the games spies play. Now he's
called out of retirement for one last assignment. For Hawthorne is
the only man alive who can track down the world's most dangerous
terrorist.
Amaya Bajaratt is beautiful, elusive, and deadly--and she has set
in motion a chilling conspiracy that a desperate government cannot
stop. With his life and the life of the president hanging in the
balance, Hawthorne must follow Bajaratt's serpentine trail, a path
of seduction, betrayal, and the looming threat of death. Racing
from a millionaire recluse's fortress to the social whirl of Palm
Beach, from the Oval Office to treacherous Caribbean waters,
Hawthorne will uncover a sinister network of well-placed men and
women who exist to help this consummate killer--and the shattering
truth behind the Scorpio Illusion.

The Fourth Reich is waiting to arise--and the only man who can stop
it is about to sign its birth certificate. In 1945 the children of
the Third Reich were secretly hidden all over the world, to be
concealed until they came of age in the 1970s, at which point $780
million would be waiting in a Swiss bank. But all of these
elaborate plans need an unsuspecting outsider to set them in
motion: Noel Holcroft, the American son of a high-ranking Nazi
officer. He has just been shown an incredible document known as the
Holcroft Covenant. If he signs, he will inadvertently deal a
serious blow to an already fragile world--and authorize his own
death warrant.

The year is 1949.
In the bombed-out ruins of Cologne, Hanno Dasch is king.
Director of the most successful black market operation in post-war Germany, Dasch has kept his clients supplied with goods so extravagant and rare that they were almost impossible to find even at the height of Germany's conquests. Nobody but Dasch, his enigmatic daughter and the war criminal he keeps as his bodyguard know how he does it.
None of this has escaped the attention of Allied Intelligence, who face not only the systemic corruption of a country where everything is in short supply, but the growing threat of Stalin's KGB. Fearing that Dasch will soon expand his business to include dealings with Russia, and invite the further meddling of Russian agents in the west, the CIA sets in motion an undercover operation to infiltrate and, ultimately, destroy Dasch's empire.
A disgraced American Army officer, Nathan Carter, is recruited to approach Dasch and to ingratiate himself with promises of stolen army supplies. As Carter moves further and further into the labyrinth of Dasch's world, it soon becomes clear that the black market ring has already been compromised, but by someone even more dangerous than the Russians.
Carter stumbles upon a counterfeiting ring, with whom Dasch has unwittingly gone into business, which seems to have been created with the sole purpose of destroying the Soviet economy, something it could easily do with the superlative quality of the forged bills it is producing. With Carter caught in the middle, and facing the danger that his cover might be blown at any moment, a race begins between the Russian and American spy agencies to uncover who is responsible, before the situation escalates to war.
Two wars, two secrets, one man...A brilliant global conspiracy

empire is on the verge of oblivion, and a coup is being planned by
a powerful new cabal. Stephen Metcalfe, now a retired ambassador,
must return to Moscow and finally reveal a secret that has haunted
him since the fall of Berlin...a secret that might just avert a
global cataclysm.
When you're the president's daughter and the closest thing the
country has to a first lady, your life is never really your own.
When you're the woman charged to guard the first daughter, and you
also happen to be her lover, every moment of every day is filled
with challenges-and a mistake could cost you everything.

world when a net of violence and death draws down upon them and the

A spy is dead. A legend is born. This is how it all began. The
explosive prequel to Casino Royale, from bestselling author Anthony
Horowitz, Forever and a Day is the story of the birth of a legend
in the brutal underworld of the French Riviera that takes the
reader to the very beginning of James Bond's illustrious career and
the formation of his identity. M laid down his pipe and stared at
it tetchily. "We have no choice. We're just going to bring forward
this other chap you've been preparing. But you didn't tell me his
name." "It's Bond, sir," the Chief of Staff replied. "James Bond."
The sea keeps its secrets. But not this time. One body. Three
bullets. 007 floats in the waters of Marseille, killed by an
unknown hand. It's time for a new agent to step up. Time for a new
weapon in the war against organized crime. It's time for James Bond
to earn his license to kill.

knowledge about his family history. And when a letter turns up at

Silverview is the mesmerising story of an encounter between
innocence and experience and between public duty and private
morals. In this last complete masterwork from the greatest

Now in paperback, Nocturnal Butterflies of the Russian Empire was
acclaimed by The Hartford Courant as "a thrilling discovery ... a
reversal of the letters [of] Saul Bellow's Herzog ... [with] a
Nabokovian delight in words and texts." J. is a smuggler living in
Russia, making his living fencing the flotsam of communism's
collapse. In Istanbul he takes a commission to trap an endangered
Russian butterfly and decides to use it as an opportunity to
smuggle V., his Russian lover who has no papers, back into her
homeland. In the port of Odessa, she disappears, and J. continues
alone to a small village on the Black Sea. Letters from V. begin to
arrive, and as J. hunts the butterfly, he seeks a way to lure V.
back into his life. Equal parts bittersweet love story,
international intrigue, and one man's quest to write the perfect
love letter, Nocturnal Butterflies of the Russian Empire, wrote The
Tennessean, is "an amazing jewel of a story ... that winks with wit
[and] wears its astonishing craftsmanship lightly." "An
aesthetically blissful reading experience ... Nabokov's spirit,
alive and kind, has touched [Prieto] with its butterfly wings." --
Aleksandar Hemon, The Village Voice Literary Supplement
."..Nocturnal Butterflies is an impressive performance by a writer
whose gifts are clearly abundant." -- Richard Bernstein, The New
York Times "A beautiful, lavish, seedy, poetic, and magical
book.... Pure pleasure for the literary mind." -- Chris Kridler,
The Baltimore Sun

For Jack Ryan, Jr., and his comrades at the covert organization
known as The Campus, the fight against America's enemies is never
over. But the danger has just hit home in a way they never
expected...
The Campus has been discovered. And whoever knows they exist knows
they can be destroyed. Meanwhile, President Jack Ryan has been
swept back into the Oval Office--and his wisdom and courage are
needed more desperately than ever.
Internal political and economic strife has pushed the leadership
of China to the edge of disaster. And those who wish to consolidate
their power are using the opportunity to strike at long-desired
Taiwan, as well as the Americans who have protected the tiny
nation.
Now, as two of the world's superpowers move ever closer to a final
confrontation, President Ryan must use the only wild card he has
left--The Campus. But with their existence about to be revealed,
they might not even have a chance to enter the battle before the
world is consumed by war.

stand-alone novel about an America in chaos. THE NO. 1
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR 27 MILLION BOOKS SOLD WINNER OF
THE GLASS KEY AWARD "The president has gone way too far. . . .
These are practically dictatorial methods we're talking about."
When Democratic Senator Bruce Jansen is elected president of the
United States, it is a personal victory for Dorothy "Dottie"
Rogers. She has secured a job in the White House, has proved to her
Republican father that she was right to support Jansen, and is
proud to see the rise of an intelligent, inspiring leader who
shares her ideals. But the triumph is short-lived: Jansen's
pregnant wife is assassinated on election night, and the alleged
mastermind behind the shooting is none other than Dottie's own
father. When Jansen ascends to the White House, he is a changed
man, determined to end gun violence by any means necessary. Rights
are taken away as quickly as weapons. Checkpoints and roadblocks
destroy infrastructure. The media is censored. Militias declare
civil war on the government. The country is in chaos, and Dottie's
finds herself fighting for the life of her father, who just may be
innocent.
