Wickedly funny. Wildly twisty. The new book from the master of the
heist novel. "A super-thief who leaves no trace."-Andy Garcia "An
anti-hero for our times."-Sarah Dunn "A can't-miss master."-David
Baldacci 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. ONE
MADMAN. TWO HOSTAGES. 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. SOMETIMES
TRUTH CAN BE A THREE-EDGED SWORD. 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.
The Basis for a New Showtime(R) Original Series Starring Michael C.
Hall
Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep's clothing. He's
handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide
by a different set of rules. He's a serial killer whose one golden
rule makes him immensely likeable: he only kills bad people. And
his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department
puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims. But when
a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own
style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered
and being frightened-of himself or some other fiend.
From the international bestselling author of Dexter come a
brilliant new thriller starring Riley Wolfe: a master thief, expert
at disguise, and not averse to violence when it's needed. ********

blast...Far-fetched, foulmouthed and very funny.' - Mark Sanderson,
The Times 'Vastly entertaining, and written with verve and charm,
it ushers in a character that is impossible to forget.' - Geoffrey
Wansell, Daily Mail ******** It's no accident, though, that Riley
targets the wealthiest 0.1 percent and is willing to kill them when
they're in his way: he despises the degenerate and immoral rich and
loves stealing their undeserved and unearned valuables. In this
series launch, Riley aims for an extraordinary target in a heist
that will make history. Riley will try to steal the Crown Jewels of
Iran. Yes, these jewels are worth billions, but the true attraction
for grabbing them comes down to one simple fact: it can't be done.
Stealing these jewels is absolutely impossible. The collection is
guarded by space-age electronics and two teams of heavily armed
mercenaries. No one could even think of getting past the airtight
security and hope to get away alive, let alone with even a single
diamond from the Imperial Collection. No one but Riley Wolfe. He's
always liked a challenge. But this challenge may be more than even
he can handle. Aside from the impenetrable security, Riley is also
pursued by a brilliant and relentless cop who is barely a step
behind him. With the aid of his sometime ally, a beautiful woman
who is a master art forger, Riley Wolfe goes for the prize that
will either make him a legend-or, more likely, leave him dead.

Dexter Morgan isn't exactly the kind of man you'd bring home to
your mum. At heart, he's the perfect gentleman: he has a shy
girlfriend, and seems to lead a quiet, normal life bordering on the
mundane. Despite the fact that he can't stand the sight of blood,
he works as a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami police.;But
Dexter also has a secret hobby: he is an accomplished serial
killer. So far, he's killed 36 people and has never been caught
because he knows exactly how to hide the evidence. And while that
may lead some people to assume he's not such a nice guy, he tempers
his insatiable hunger for brutality by only killing the bad
guys.;However, Dexter's well-organised life is suddenly disrupted
when a second, much more visible serial killer appears in Miami.
Intrigued that the other killer favours a style similar to his own,
Dexter soon realises that the mysterious new arrival is not simply
invading his turf but offering him a direct invitation to 'come out
and play'...

BLOOD - major new drama 'Fascinating, entertaining, and
brilliant... the freshest, most terrifying creations you are ever
likely to meet' Robert Crais Everything's changing for our friendly
neighbourhood serial killer. As if getting married wasn't enough to
complete his nice-guy persona, Dexter is now the proud father of a
baby girl. And disconcertingly, he actually seems to care. But even
if fatherhood is distracting Dexter from his midnight excursions to
rid Miami of a few more lowlifes, there's no let-up at work. Two
young girls are missing - and it's not long before one of the
bodies turns up, partially eaten. But as Dexter and Miami PD's
finest investigate, Dexter can't shake the feeling that somebody's
watching him...
"A rock-solid series debut." -BOOKLIST Before there was Dexter,
there was Billy Knight. NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Jeff
Lindsay mastered suspense with his wildly addictive DEXTER series.
Before that, however, there was former cop and current burnout
Billy Knight. When a hostage situation turns deadly, Billy loses
everything-his wife, his daughter, and his career. Devastated, he
heads to Key West to put down his gun and pick up a rod and reel as
a fishing boat captain. But former co-worker Roscoe McAuley isn't
ready to let Billy rest. When Roscoe tells Billy that someone
murdered his son, Billy sends him away. When Roscoe himself turns
up dead a few weeks later, however, Billy can't keep from getting
sucked back into Los Angeles, and the streets that took so much
from him. Billy's investigations into the death of a former cop,
and his son, will take him up to the highest echelons of the LAPD,
finding corruption at every level. It puts him on a collision
course with the law, with his past, with his former fellow
officers, and with the dark aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement.
Jeff Lindsay's considerable storytelling gifts are on full display,
drawing the reader in with a mesmerizing style and a case with more
dangerous blind curves than Mulholland Drive.
"Hemingway and Lindsay carry the Hemingway traditions of hunting,
family, and storytelling into the new millennium." —KIRKUS
Fifteen years after her father's death, Hilary Hemingway receives a
curious inheritance: an audio-cassette of Les, her father, telling
outrageous stories about hunting with his famous older brother,
Ernest Hemingway. Les clearly aims to amuse the listeners with
tales of the Hemingway brothers hunting vicious ostriches, hungry
crocodiles, and deadly komodo dragons, but where Les Hemingway gets
serious is in defending and explaining his brother’s reputation
to a contemptuous Hemingway scholar. Hilary transcribes these
stories, revealing the bond between two larger-than-life
brothers—and tells of her own quest to make peace with the
painful parts of the Hemingway legacy.

than it bargained for when television's hottest stars descend on
the Miami Police Department for 'research'. Mega-star Robert Chase
is famous for losing himself in his characters and he becomes
fixated on Dexter Morgan, the blood spatter analyst with a sweet
tooth for doughnuts and a seemingly average life. To perfect his
role as a forensics guy, Chase is obsessed with shadowing Dexter's
every move. There is just one tiny problem... Dexter's favourite
hobby involves hunting down the worst killers to escape legal
justice, and introducing them to his special brand of playtime.
It's a secret best kept out of the spotlight if Dexter wants to
stay out of the electric chair. The last things he needs are the
bright lights and the paparazzi - but even Dexter isn't immune to
the call of fame.

In his work as a Miami crime scene investigator, Dexter Morgan is
accustomed to seeing evil deeds. . . particularly because, on
occasion, he commits them himself. But Dexter's happy existence is
turned upside down when he is called to an unusually disturbing
crime scene at the university campus. Dexter's Dark Passenger -
mastermind of his homicidal prowess - immediately senses something
chillingly recognizable and goes into hiding. Dexter is alone for
the first time in his life, and he realizes he's being hunted by a
truly sinister adversary. Meanwhile he's planning a wedding and
trying to learn how to be a stepfather to his fiance's two kids -
who might just have dark tendencies themselves. Macabre, ironic,
and wonderfully entertaining, "Dexter in the Dark" goes deeper into
the psyche of one of the freshest protagonists in recent fiction.
No rest for the wicked - the serial killer with a heart is back . .
. As seen on TV - DEXTER: NEW BLOOD - major new drama Dexter Morgan
is busy planning his wedding to Rita to complete his nice-guy
disguise. But when a student is found burnt, molested and headless
- seemingly sacrificed to an ancient god - and Dex is brought in as
forensic analyst to help investigate, he realises he could be
dealing with someone a whole lot more sinister than he is. Soon it
seems the dark passenger in Dexter's head has gone into hiding. And
when something creeps out your friendly neighbourhood serial
killer, you know it's serious . . . As Halpern and Dexter are
stalked by death, it looks like it's getting personal - especially
as Dex now has a family to protect. Gradually, Dexter realises his
stepchildren might share his extracurricular interest in death.
Could he help them target their bloodlust, just as he steers his
own? But to do that, Dex must cope with a certain mutilated
sergeant from his past, and more importantly . . . stay alive . . .

both ends for many years. Blood spatter analyst . . . husband . . .

has truly collapsed. Dexter is arrested on charges of murder. He
has lost everything - including his wife, his kids, and the loyalty
of his sister. Now completely alone, Dexter faces a murder charge
(for a crime . . . ironically . . . he did not actually commit).
His only chance for freedom lies with his brother, Brian, who has a
dark plan to prove Dexter's innocence. But the stakes are deadly,
and the epic showdown that lies in Dexter's path may lead, once and
for all, to his demise. Jeff Lindsay's trademark devilish wit and

someone has seen him in the act. Dexter is being followed,
manipulated and mimicked, leading him to realise that no one likes
to have a double - especially when his double's goal is to kill
him. Dexter is not one to tolerate such displeasure ... in fact, he
has a knack for extricating himself from trouble in his own
pleasurable way.
