The classic spy thriller about corruption in the CIA that inspired
the hit film and TV show: "A master of intrigue" (John Grisham).
Sandwiches are a part of Ronald Malcolm's every day, but one just
saved his life. On the day that gunmen pay a visit to the American
Literary Historical Society, he's out at lunch. The society is
actually a backwater of the Central Intelligence Agency, where
Malcolm and a few other bookworms comb mystery novels for clues
that might unlock real life diplomatic questions. One of his
colleagues has learned something he wasn't meant to know. A
sinister conspiracy has penetrated the CIA, and the gunmen are its
representatives. They massacre the office, and only learn later of
Malcolm--a loose end that needs to be dealt with. Malcolm--codename
Condor--calls his handlers at the agency, hoping for a safe haven,
instead drawing another attempt on his life. With no one left to
trust he goes on the run. But like it or not, Malcolm is the only
person who can root out the corruption at the highest levels of the
CIA. This "chilling novel of top security gone berserk" earned
James Grady his reputation as a Grand Master of the spy thriller,
inspiring legions of imitators as well as the classic Sydney
Pollack film Three Days of the Condor and the new TV series Condor
featuring Max Irons, Mira Sorvino, and Brendan Fraser (Library
Journal).
The brand-new historical novel based on a true story from the
bestselling author of The Rose Code and The Alice Network.
In the snowbound city of Kiev, aspiring historian Mila Pavlichenko's life revolves around her young son - until Hitler's invasion of Russia changes everything. Suddenly, she and her friends must take up arms to save their country from the Fuhrer's destruction. Handed a rifle, Mila discovers a gift - and months of blood, sweat and tears turn the young woman into a deadly sniper: the most lethal hunter of Nazis. Yet success is bittersweet.
Mila is torn from the battlefields of the eastern front and sent to America while the war still rages. There, she finds an unexpected ally in First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and an unexpected promise of a different future. But when an old enemy from Mila's past joins forces with a terrifying new foe, she finds herself in the deadliest duel of her life.
The Diamond Eye is a haunting novel of heroism born of desperation, of a mother who became a soldier, of a woman who found her place in the world and changed the course of history forever.
The final book of the smash-hit Wayward Pines trilogy from the New
York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and
Upgrade What's inside was a nightmare. What's outside is a thousand
times worse. Welcome to Wayward Pines, the last town. Secret
Service agent Ethan Burke arrived in Wayward Pines, Idaho, three
weeks ago. In this town, people are told who to marry, where to
live, where to work. No one is allowed to leave; even asking
questions can get you killed. But Ethan has discovered the
astonishing secret of what lies beyond the electrified fence that
surrounds Wayward Pines and protects it from the terrifying world
beyond. And now that secret is about to come storming through the
fence to wipe out this last, fragile remnant of humanity. The Last
Town at last pitches Ethan Burke and his fellow residents into
all-out war against the forces outside the town's gates - and in
doing so delivers every bit the riotously horrific, breathlessly
action-packed conclusion that the Wayward Pines trilogy deserves.
*Now a major TV series starring Gary Oldman* 'The best thriller
writer in Britain today' Sunday Express At Regent's Park, the
Intelligence Service HQ, new First Desk Claude Whelan is learning
the job the hard way. Tasked with protecting a beleaguered Prime
Minister, he's facing attack from all directions: from the
showboating MP who orchestrated the Brexit vote, and now has his
sights set on Number Ten; from the showboat's wife, a tabloid
columnist, who's crucifying Whelan in print; and especially from
his own deputy, Lady Di Taverner, who's alert for Claude's every
stumble. Meanwhile, the country's being rocked by an apparently
random string of terror attacks. Over at Slough House, the last
stop for washed up spies, the crew are struggling with personal
problems: repressed grief, various addictions, retail paralysis,
and the nagging suspicion that their newest colleague is a
psychopath. But collectively, they're about to rediscover their
greatest strength - making a bad situation much, much worse. 'Mick
Herron is the John le Carre of our generation' Val McDermid

Wickedly funny. Wildly twisty. The new book from the master of the heist novel.
Super thief Riley Wolfe can do it all. He is a master of disguise, can scale a wall, and can vanish into thin air (thick air, too). He uses these unique talents to rob the richest. But this time, it's the most powerful who have him in their grips.
It's not just that the high-up, rogue government agent has abducted the only two people Riley loves: it's the fact that Riley has to do the man's dirty work to set them free. It's something Riley ordinarily would find a modest day's work, infiltrating a madman's Soviet missile silo in one of the world's most remote places, all to find a secret on a tiny flash drive-but he's never had to race the clock like this.
From its vivid, remote locales to its John Wick-meets-Deadpool dialogue, this gripping heist novel from Jeff Lindsay, author of the Dexter series, is everything: an utterly escapist, must-read novel of espionage, thievery, love and betrayal. It twists, it turns, and keeps everything on the line until the very end. Even for Riley, it looks like this time, the only way out is through.
