When secrets from Jason Bourne's past come to light, he may be the next
thing that's buried. The latest thrilling instalment in the legendary
New York Times bestselling series from the world of Robert Ludlum.
It's been over a decade since Nash Rollins recruited a brilliant,
talented, but disaffected young man named David Webb to join
Treadstone. Webb became the agent known as Cain - and later took on the
identity of Jason Bourne.
That violent winter which included Cain’s first mission for Treadstone
was also a story of betrayal in ways that David never knew. So after
the injury that erased Bourne’s whole life, Nash lied about the
circumstances of David’s recruitment to Treadstone. He was afraid that
learning the truth might drive Bourne out of the agency forever.
But now, when Bourne meets a woman who recognises him as David Webb,
the secrets of those days begin to come out - and Bourne is forced to
confront the dangerous ghosts of a past he doesn’t even remember.
Jason Bourne is back... and this time he's the hunted one. The
latest electrifying entry in Robert Ludlum's #1 New York Times
bestselling series. Around the world, Treadstone agents are being
hunted down and murdered... and Jason Bourne may be next on the
list. Someone high up in the U.S. government is erasing all
evidence of a shocking mission from Bourne's past, known as
Defiance – and that evidence includes Bourne himself. Staying one
step ahead of a team of killers, Bourne follows a global trail that
leads him to one of the government's darkest secrets. But exposing
the truth about the Defiance mission will also bring Bourne face to
face with his arch-enemy, the assassin known as Lennon, for a final
deadly confrontation. Reviewers on Brian Freeman: 'Freeman has a
firm grasp of Bourne's tangled background plus the skills to keep
the action front and center. Bourne fans will hope for an encore
from this talented author.' Publishers Weekly 'This guy can tell a
story.' Michael Connelly 'Some of the most literate and stylish
writing you'll find anywhere today.' Jeffery Deaver
The world's most ruthlessly efficient assassin, Jason Bourne, has
carved a bloody swathe through all his opponents but now he's
facing the one force he can't defeat - his own past - in the latest
thrilling entry in Robert Ludlum's New York Times bestselling
series. Three years ago, Jason Bourne embarked on a mission in
Estonia with his partner and lover, a fiery UK-based Treadstone
agent codenamed Nova. Their job was to rescue a Russian scientist
and activist, the leader of an anti-Putin protest movement, who'd
recently been smuggled out of St. Petersburg in the midst of an FSB
manhunt. They failed. Now, three years later, everything has
changed for Bourne. Nova is gone, killed in a mass shooting in Las
Vegas. Bourne is a lone operative working in the shadows for
Treadstone. He's ready for a new mission when his handler bring him
shocking news. The Estonian mission was a set up. Their target had
not been killed. She is still in hiding in Russia and the Russian
State Intelligence Agency is desperately seeking her. Bourne must
find her first, but his race to correct the errors of the past will
lead him to one inevitable conclusion: Some secrets should stay
buried.
Jason Bourne tackles a global media conspiracy and a murderous tech
giant in the latest electrifying entry in Robert Ludlum's New York
Times bestselling series. Jason Bourne has faced many killers
before, but none as dangerous as the assassin Lennon. Lennon's
trail leads Bourne from Iceland to New York and then to Washington
D.C. - and the body count rises with each deadly encounter. Bourne
believes Lennon has a shadowy new employer called the Pyramid. The
only clue to the group's agenda is a young German woman, murdered
in D.C., but the woman's entire identity turns out to be a lie.
Finding the truth may be Bourne's only chance to catch Lennon - and
uncover the conspiracy behind the Pyramid. But the chase comes with
high stakes. Bourne's former lover, journalist Abbey Laurent, is
digging into the mystery too, and Abbey will soon be in the
assassin's crosshairs. Bourne will need every bit of his tradecraft
and his genius for mayhem to take down his biggest threat yet.
Praise for Brian Freeman's Bourne books: 'Bourne fans will hope for
an encore from this talented author' Publishers Weekly 'A treat for
fans of the late Robert Ludlum' Kirkus Reviews

gripping psychological thriller about a woman haunted by terrifying
memories-of someone else's life. On the Fourth of July, Hallie
Evers dies at a rooftop party in Las Vegas. Hours later, she wakes
up in the hospital, disoriented but alive. Why can't she find the
doctor who revived her? Why does her head feel crowded and loud?
Why do her memories feel both foreign and familiar? Her self-doubt
spirals into crippling paranoia. Hallie knows that mental illness
runs in her family-her mother suffered from delusions that led to
an early death. But now even Hallie's dreams are fraught with
details that seem like more than imagination-vivid images of a city
she remembers but has never visited in her life. As she embarks on
a cross-country search for answers, Hallie catches glimpses of what
feel like another person's memories. It's a dark, horrifying,
tragic vision...of someone else's murder. But is any of it real?

telling the truth? While Stride endeavours to make sense of the
conflicting pieces of evidence, a young woman's body lies

This book presents an anatomical overview of the changing form and
structure of the human body. Although biomechanical embryology can
be traced back to the 19th century, up until recently the most
commonly accepted framework for the study of human ontogeny
(development of the individual) was molecular biology, which all
too frequently relied on findings from animal experiments that
remained untested for humans. German embryologist and anatomist
Erich Blechschmidt's research concentrates on the evidence
presented by the human embryo itself. He offers a new approach to
the study of early human growth as a way to shed light on the
development of body build, instincts, gestures, language,
mathematics, tools, and dress.

Ecological and Economic Entomology is a comprehensive advanced text
covering all aspects of the role of insects in natural ecosystems
and their impacts on human activity. The book is divided into two
sections. The first section begins with an outline of the
structure, classification and importance of insects, followed by
the geographical aspects of plant distribution and the complex
defences plants marshal against herbivorous insects. Insect pests
affecting plant roots, stem, leaf, and reproductive systems are
covered in a comprehensive review. This section also covers insects
that are important in medical and veterinary science, paying
particular attention to those that transmit pathogens. The section
concludes with the beneficial aspects of insects, especially their
use in biological control, but also as soil formers and their
importance in forensic science. Autecology (or single-species
ecology) and its application to pest management is the focus of the
second section of the book. Firstly, some general aspects of
autecology are examined, including species abundance, competition
and speciation, and relevant genetics. The classic general theories
of insect population dynamics are reviewed, followed by chapters on
life tables, time series analysis and mathematical models in insect
populations. The final chapter reviews the application of
autecology to the insect pests of forests, farms and orchards and
to the control of insect vectors of diseases of humans and
livestock. Particular attention is paid to environmentally friendly
methods of pest management and the application of Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) techniques. This volume is essential reading for
professional entomologists and advanced students of agricultural,
medical and veterinary entomology, insect ecology and conservation.
NINE YEARS It is almost a decade since Duluth said goodbye to its
innocence. The city creeps ever closer to the tenth anniversary of
the year in which it found itself both gripped by murder and united
in terror; and during which the pillar of its community, DS
Jonathan Stride, had his home and heart torn to ribbons by the
claws of cancer. NINE LIVES Cat Mateo, an orphan with a knack of
landing on her feet, has bid farewell to a life on the streets.
This once-stray teenager owes her rescue to Detective Stride, the
father figure she holds close to her heart. But Cat holds something
else to her chest - a secret: the sheer power of which she could
not possibly comprehend. A secret that, once out of the bag, will
not just viciously scratch at Duluth's still-healing wounds, but
will make DS Jonathan Stride wave goodbye to his convictions about
the events nine years before, and say hello to his darkest fears.

In a riveting debut thriller that has drawn comparisons to
masters of the genre like Dennis Lehane and Michael Connelly, Brian
Freeman weaves obsession, sex, and revenge into a story that grips
the reader with vivid characters and shocking plot twists from the
first page to the last.
Lieutenant Jonathan Stride is suffering from an ugly case of
"deja vu." For the second time in a year, a beautiful teenage girl
has disappeared off the streets of Duluth, Minnesota--gone without
a trace, like a bitter gust off Lake Superior. The two victims
couldn't be more different. First it was Kerry McGrath, bubbly,
sweet sixteen. And now Rachel Deese, strange, sexually charged, a
wild child. The media hounds Stride to catch a serial killer, and
as the search carries him from the icy stillness of the northern
woods to the erotic heat of Las Vegas, he must decide which facts
are real and which are illusions. And Stride finds his own life
changed forever by the secrets he uncovers. Secrets that stretch
across time in a web of lies, death, and illicit desire. Secrets
that are chillingly...immoral.
Keeping secrets is like playing with fire. You could get burned...
A teenager murdered. A teacher accused. A secret that won't stay
buried... The Bone House is the unforgettable murder mystery by
Brian Freeman, author of Thief River Falls and The Voice Inside.
Sure to enthral fans of James Patterson and David Baldacci.
