run from powerful and deadly forces in the latest thriller from

reputation permanently marred by an insider trading conviction,
Jamison Maddox, a young Wall Street broker, reluctantly takes a job
doing research for a small company in the sleepy town of
Redemption, Illinois. He's never heard of the company, or of the
town, but he's out of money and options. Though Jamison notices
right away that everyone in Redemption is in some way related to
one another, the big city boy chalks it up to small town ways. And
as for the company's seemingly extreme security practices, Jamison
was planning on minding his own business anyway.But when he falls
in love with a beautiful and enigmatic colleague, Gillian, Jamison
begins to realize that he may be doing illegal work for the
company. So when she asks him to run away with her, he agrees
wholeheartedly. The two set off across the country, hoping to
secure some money and go into hiding. The company is soon on their
tails, pursuing them with the single-minded goal of silencing them
forever.If Jamison hadn't realized how dangerous these people
really are, he now realizes they will stop at nothing to protect
the company. And he has no idea that his lover, a stunning woman
shrouded in mystery, is as dangerous as the people he's running
from.
The brand new nerve-shattering thriller from the highly-acclaimed
author of The Inside Ring. When Joe DeMarco is sent to investigate
the death of reporter Terry Finley, it appears to be nothing more
than a tragic accident. However, DeMarco's suspicions are aroused
when he discovers Finley was investigating Senator Paul Morelli,
considered a shoe-in for his party's presidential nomination.
Morelli's luck is famous, even by a politician's standards, and
whilst his past has already been thoroughly scrutinized, looks can
be deceptive. DeMarco's search leads him into a world of dirty
secrets, beltway politics and divided loyalties. And as two rogue
agents freelancing for the CIA begin to follow him, he finds the
deeper he digs, the more deadly and out of control his pursuit for
justice becomes.
The West Wing meets 24 in a pace-ridden thriller of conspiracy,
corruption and cold-blooded murder. Joe De Marco is running out of
time. Someone has made an attempt on the president's life, but the
wrong man is dead. How could this happen when the president and
those nearest to him are protected by a group of men known as The
Inside Ring? Is there is a chink in the armour? A break in the
circle? Is someone not quite what they seem? Joe's search for the
answers takes him from the corridors of power to the swamps of the
southern states, where one lie will lead to another until finally
the shocking truth emerges in an orgy of violence. 'The Inside
Ring': where greed and corruption walk hand in hand with murder.
Joe DeMarco is back and the corridors of power have never felt so
deadly... First a bomb attack on the Baltimore Harbour tunnel is
averted. Then a young American Muslim is shot down in a Cessna
plane whilst trying to drive it into The Whitehouse. What follows
is chaos as a ruthless senator tries to pass a xenophobic law that
will see non-citizen Muslims deported and extensive background
checks on all Muslims living in the US carried out immediately.
Speaker of the house John Mahoney wants nothing to do with the bill
being pushed through. He knows all to well what trouble a law like
that could stir up, and what's worse he knows the kid who tried to
crash the plane into the White House. Enter Joe DeMarco, a man with
a shady past, a lawyer who has never practised law. He's charged
with investigating the attacks but there's a twist to the attempted
mass destruction, something the FBI didn't even see, and suddenly
at every turn DeMarco faces a new and terrifying danger...
In the thirteenth book in Mike Lawson's celebrated series, Joe
DeMarco finds himself on the wrong side of an investigation--in the
wake of a political assassination, he's been framed as the killer.
As the fixer for Congressman John Mahoney in Washington, D.C., Joe
DeMarco has had to bend and break the law more than a few times.
But when Representative Lyle Canton, House Majority Whip, is found
shot dead in his office in the U.S. Capitol and DeMarco is arrested
for the murder, DeMarco knows he's been framed. Locked up in the
Alexandria Jail awaiting trial, he calls on his enigmatic friend
Emma, an ex-DIA agent, to search for the true killer. Emma's
investigation leads her to Sebastian Spear, the ruthless and
competitive CEO of the multi-billion-dollar Spear Industries. Spear
had a motive for killing Lyle Canton: Canton's wife, Jean, had once
been Spear's high school sweetheart and the one true love of his
life--until Canton won her over. Now Jean was dead, killed in a car
crash while driving drunk, and Spear blamed Canton for the
accident. But the case the F.B.I. has built against DeMarco is
airtight, and not a single piece of evidence points to the grieving
CEO. Using her cunning and her D.C. connections, Emma sets out to
prove that Spear has been using some fixers of his own. Featuring
crimes of passion, corporate corruption, and partisan feuds, House
Arrest is a gripping, timely political thriller, and one of
Lawson's best books yet.
