It was supposed to be only a temporary job--something to pay the
bills until Dusty could get his feet back on the ground and raise
enough money for medical school. After all, there's nothing wrong
with being a bellboy at a respectable hotel like the Manton--that
is, until "she" came along.
Marcia Hillis. The perfect woman. Beautiful. Experienced. Older and
wiser. The only woman to ever measure up to that "other" her--the
one whose painful rejection Dusty can't quite put from his mind.
But while Dusty has designs on Marcia, Marcia has an agenda of her
own. One that threatens to pull the Manton inside-out, use Dusty up
for all he's worth and leave him reeling and on the run, the whole
world at his heels.
A richly-imagined crime narrative of the Oedipal and betrayal, A
SWELL-LOOKING BABE is Thompson at his very best--a cornerstone in

The second of three high-energy thrillers arriving back-to-back
from cult crime fiction sensation Duane Swierczynski.
Left for dead after an epic shootout that blew the lid off a
billion-dollar conspiracy, ex-cop Charlie Hardie quickly realizes
that when you're dealing with The Accident People, things can get
worse. Drugged, bound and transported by strange operatives of
unknown origin, Hardie awakens to find himself captive in a secret
prison that houses the most dangerous criminals on earth.
And then things get really bad. Because this isn't just any prison.
It's a Kafkaesque nightmare that comes springloaded with a brutal
catch-22: Hardie's the warden. And any attempt to escape triggers a
"death mechanism" that will kill everyone down here--including a
group of innocent guards. Faced with an unworkable paradox, and
knowing that his wife and son could be next on the Accident
People's hit list, Hardie has only one choice: fight his way to the
heart of this hell hole and make a deal with the Devil himself.
In this neighborhood, make a wrong turn...
.".. and you're history."
Mickey Wade is a recently-unemployed journalist who lucked into
a rent-free apartment--his sick grandfather's place. The only
problem: it's in a lousy neighborhood--the one where Mickey grew
up, in fact. The one he was so desperate to escape.
But now he's back. Dead broke. And just when he thinks he's
reached rock bottom, Mickey wakes up in the past. Literally.
At first he thinks it's a dream. All of the stores he remembered
from his childhood, the cars, the rumble of the elevated train. But
as he digs deeper into the past, searching for answers about the
grandfather he hardly knows, Mickey meets the twelve-year-old kid
who lives in the apartment below.
The kid who will grow up to someday murder Mickey's father.

When Jamie arrives, the conference room is stocked with cookies
and champagne. His boss smiles and tells his employees, "We're a
cover for a branch of the intelligence community. And we're being
shut down." Jamie's boss then tells everyone to drink some
champagne, and in a few seconds they'll fall asleep---for good. If
they refuse, they'll be shot in the head.
Escape is not an option. Jamie's boss has shut down the
elevators and rigged the fire towers with chemical bombs. Panic
sets in, chaos erupts, and no one is sure whom to trust. Jamie
quickly realizes that there's only one way he's ever going to see
his family again: the hard way.

It's dangerous enough when an ordinary college girl turns
confidential informant. Even more dangerous when she's smarter than
the kingpins, killer, and cops who control her.
Honors student Sarie Holland is busted by the local police while
doing a favor for her boyfriend. Unwilling to betray him but
desperate to avoid destroying her future, Sarie has no choice but
to become a "CI"--a confidential informant.
Philly narcotics cop Ben Wildey is hungry for a career-making bust.
The detective thinks he's found the key in Sarie: her boyfriend
scores from a mid-level dealer with alleged ties to the major drug
gangs.
Sarie turns out to be the perfect CI: a quick study with a
shockingly keen understanding of the criminal mind. But Wildey,
desperate for results, pushes too hard and inadvertently sends the
19-year-old into a death trap, leaving Sarie hunted by crooked cops
and killers alike with nothing to save her--except what she's
learned during her harrowing weeks as an informant.
Which is bad news for the police and the underworld. Because when
it comes to payback, CI #1373 turns out to be a "very" quick
study...

SERIES' ASTONISHING CONCLUSION.
Charlie Hardie finds himself in a steel box, tubes and wires

months' duty or his wife and son will have an "accident."
But when someone all-too-familiar docks on the satellite, informs
Hardie he's sitting in a veritable zero-G vault containing the
world's most dangerous secrets, and forces a crash-landing in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hardie must decide whether he's come
face-to-face with the partner he needs to save his family--or with
his nemesis. After years of exile, Hardie's arming up....and
heading home.
