pace, and one that will keep you guessing until the very end!"
Goodreads If they move you, they will kill you. When Kate Foster
secures a lucrative new job, her boss insists that she undertake a
pre-deployment security and hostage survival course - a course
that's not meant to be easy, and one that Kate almost fails, to the
consternation of her instructor. Six months later, Kate is working
in Istanbul when a simple day's task goes horribly wrong. Kidnapped
and held hostage by a group of violent criminals, Kate must recall
the lessons she learned during her security training in order to
stay alive while she hopes for rescue. For Finn Scott, the man who
trained her, it's his worst nightmare. Haunted by memories of a
failed hostage rescue, he is thrust into a situation beyond his
control. Now, against a sinister adversary whose ambitions will
tear apart Eastern Europe, Finn must face the demons from his past
to secure Kate's future before the kidnappers' deadline expires...

A dangerous and often fatal pursuit, collecting pieces of bombs is
a prime activity for boys in London during WWII in the early 1940s.
Young Tom Sloan is no exception. While investigating one ravaged
building, he finds more than he expects-an injured German pilot,
Hauptman Heinrich Leuzinger, who had ejected from his plane.
Leuzinger begs Tom not to turn him in to authorities, but rather to
help him see his wife and children again. Tom understands this is a
dangerous dilemma for which there could be serious consequences.
More than a thousand miles away in the North African desert, the
boy's father, Major Bernie Sloan, a British officer and the
commandant of a German and Italian POW camp, meets captured German
Colonel Hans Dieter Reichmann who tells an unbelievable story.
Sloan, a Jewish man, harbors a deep hatred for Germany and its
people. Sloan finds it difficult to believe that Reichmann may have
actually saved a Jewish family by smuggling them out of Germany.
Both father and son are about to discover that in war, as in life,
things are not always as they appear, and people can't always be
judged by the uniforms they wear. Or can they?
A woman wakes up to discover her new husband is missing and sets
out on a wild race of power, politics, and revenge in this
international thriller from New York Times bestselling author Chris
Pavone. You think you know a person... Ariel Pryce wakes up in
Lisbon, alone. Her husband is gone - no warning, no note, not
answering his phone. Something is wrong. She starts with hotel
security, then the police, then the US embassy, at each confronting
questions she can't fully answer: What exactly is John doing in
Lisbon? Why would he drag her along on his business trip? Who would
want to harm him? And why does Ariel know so little about her new
husband? The clock is ticking. Ariel is running out of time. But
the one person in the world who can help her is the one person she
doesn't want to ask... A complex, intelligent, multi-layered
thriller, Two Nights in Lisbon is filled with twists, turns,
husbands, wives, secrets and lies - and it will linger long after
you turn the surprising final page. Two Nights in Lisbon was an
instant New York Times bestseller in May 2022! Praise for Two
Nights in Lisbon: 'This is smart suspense at its very best.' John
Grisham 'Timely, important, layered with ticking suspense.' Lee
Child 'The finest thriller I've read in a very long time... This is
sophisticated, of-the-moment suspense of the highest order.' C.M.
Ewan 'Intelligent, utterly compelling and deeply satisfying.' Peter
James 'Pavone has become one of the most skilled creators of menace
and suspense in the world.' Daily Mail 'As close to unputdownable
as you can get.' Stephen King
When an African dictator seizes a U. S. Navy frigate, the U. S.
President has a choice. Does he pay the terrorists a ransom or does
he fight back? He decides to fight back.
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.
While on assignment in Africa, New York investigative journalist
Mark Reynolds learns of a disaster in Nigeria. He is the first
foreign journalist to arrive at the site of an industrial chemical
leak that has killed hundreds. Digging through a cover of foreign
subsidiaries, Reynolds learns that the principal shareholder of the
industrial chemical plant is a large U.S.-based corporation,
Martinelli Global, Inc. MGI fits perfectly as the poster child for
Reynolds' series of articles on the negative consequences of
globalization. But the low profile MGI is much more than just
another aggressive multinational corporation doing business in
developing countries. MGI has for decades invested in operations in
some of the world's riskiest places to do business using corruption
as their business model. To mask their illegal activities from
Western regulatory scrutiny, they have structured a Byzantine web
of foreign subsidiary corporations and offshore tax-haven shell
companies. Parallel to these illicit business dealings is the real
possibility that MGI-affiliated operations may be involved in a
nuclear weapons proliferation scheme involving Iran. As Reynolds
probes deeper, MGI retaliates with its considerable power and
influence. The intimidation and violence ratchet up- ward,
threatening Reynolds and those helping him.
The blockbuster spy thriller from the award-winning author of
Corpus. ___________________ Autumn 1941. The war is going badly for
Britain and its allies. If Hitler is to be stopped, a new weapon is
desperately needed. In Cambridge, professor Tom Wilde is approached
by an American intelligence officer who claims to know of such a
weapon - one so secret even Hitler himself isn't aware of its
existence. If Wilde can smuggle the package out of Germany, the
Third Reich will surely fall. But it is only when he is deep behind
enemy lines that Wilde discovers why the Nazis are so desperate to
prevent the 'package' falling into Allied hands. And as ruthless
killers hunt him through Europe, a treacherous question hangs over
the mission: if Hitler's secret will win them the war, why is Wilde
convinced it must remain hidden? Dramatic, intelligent, and utterly
compelling, Hitler's Secret is the Sunday Times bestselling spy
thriller of 2020 from the award-winning author of Corpus and
Nucleus - perfect for readers of Robert Harris, C J Sansom and
