Killer twists. Heroes to believe in. Trust Baldacci. Memory man FBI
agent, Amos Decker, returns in this action-packed thriller to
investigate the mysterious and brutal murder of a federal judge and
her bodyguard at her home in an exclusive, gated community in
Florida from international bestselling author David Baldacci.
Things are changing for Decker. He's in crisis following the
suicide of a close friend and receipt of a letter concerning a
personal issue which could change his life forever. Together with
the prospect of working with a new partner, Frederica White, Amos
knows that this case will take all of his special skills to solve.
As darkness falls, evil comes to light . . . Judge Julia Cummins
seemingly had no enemies, and there was no forced entry to her
property. Close friends and neighbours in the community apparently
heard nothing, and Cummins' distraught ex-husband, Barry, and
teenage son, Tyler, both have strong alibis. Decker must first find
the answer to why the judge felt the need for a bodyguard, and the
meaning behind the strange calling card left by the killer. Someone
has decided it's payback time.
Family first. Family last. The Glass family always... Charley Glass
arrived in her family's lives like the hurricane she'd escaped. But
she hadn't run far enough: the ruthless Giordano family are on her
tail and want two things - her life, and the return of the property
she stole from them. No matter how many bodies stack up. After
years of hoping, Charley finally has the family she's always
wanted, but now she's going to have to tell them the real reason
she came looking for them. There is only one way she's going to
stay alive, and that is to employ the muscle of the notorious Glass
Family. The head of the family, Luke, isn't sure they're strong
enough to take on one of New Orleans' biggest crime gangs. But he'd
put his life on the line to protect the empire they've built - even
if they'll have to take on an enemy hurting enough to cross an
ocean for revenge. Page-turning, gritty, and utterly compelling,
Thief is Owen Mullen's best book yet. Perfect for fans of Martina
Cole, Kimberley Chambers and Mandasue Heller. What readers say
about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen knows how to ramp up the action
just when it's needed... he never fails to give you hard-hitting
thrillers that have moments that will stay with you forever...'
'One of the very best thriller writers I have ever read.' 'Owen
Mullen writes a good story, he really brings his characters to life
and the endings are hard to guess and never what you expected.'
Faced with his most disturbing case yet, Detective Roy Grace
tracks a serial killer in the television tie-in edition of You Are
Dead, by award-winning crime writer Peter James.
Now a major TV drama on Britbox, Grace stars John Simm as the titular
character.
A series of young women - all beautiful, all with long brown hair -
have been stalked and abducted. Each victim is found with a brand on
their body, a marking that reads 'U R Dead.' And some of their remains
are from thirty years ago.
When Logan Somerville is taken while on the phone to her fiancé, Grace
must find a lead, connect the cases and track down the killer before
they can strike again.
Although the Roy Grace novels can be read in any order, You Are Dead is
the eleventh thrilling title in the bestselling series.
What will it take to tell the truth when your life depends on a lie?
A year ago, a father and his fiancée were brutally stabbed in their
opulent townhouse, sparking the most high-profile murder investigation
in recent history. Blood spatter expert Doctor Claudia O’Sheil’s
evidence put the killer behind bars – or so everyone believes. Since
the trial, Claudia’s learned a horrific truth: her evidence and her
testimony were wrong. And someone she knows made sure of it.
Now, as she takes the stage to give a career-defining speech before
London’s elite, Claudia faces a devastating choice. Protect her
children and her livelihood with her continued complicity or blow the
whole conspiracy apart and reveal the truth: not only is the real
murderer still out there, they’re in the audience.
As Claudia steps toward the microphone, she revisits that fateful
night. What really happened? And what speech will Claudia give?
