"Super yachts are secretive, like their owners. The bigger the richer. Like castles, they are created to inspire awe. Like castles too, they are defended. They are an entire world, separate from the rest of us. Kai, a carefree once-successful musician is invited by his new Russian girlfriend Zina to join her family's Caribbean holiday. Impulsively accepting he learns that Zina is the daughter of a Russian oligarch, Stepan Pirumov and that the trip is aboard his yacht, the Zinaida, moored in St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. On arrival Kai discovers that the head of security has been arrested, armed guards are below deck, there's an onboard panic room and a strong sense of all not being quite right beneath the gleaming surfaces of the Pirumov's lives. An unnerving presence punctures the atmosphere: a murderous imposter is on board the Zinaida, but who is it? Kai will find that the only person he can trust will be Erin and that the world of the super-rich will become a prison from which they must escape."--Publisher
"The U.S. Postal System is under assault. For decades, corporate interests and ideologues have sought to convert this invaluable public institution into yet another profit-driven corporation. In 2020, the attacks escalated. In the middle of a pandemic and a presidential election dependent on mail-in ballots, the newly installed postmaster, Louis DeJoy, disrupted postal operations by slowing down mail delivery, decreasing window hours, and removing mail-processing equipment and neighborhood mailboxes. An outraged and indignant public fought back and scored a victory, reversing his policies. Though that stage of the battle ended in a public victory, the corporate war against the Postal System continues. In First Class, Christopher Shaw provides a brief history of the USPS, exposing the various campaigns against it, who has been waging them, and the consequences to the American public--and democracy itself--if they are not stopped"-- Provided by publisher
The past is about to catch up to Jack Logan and Taylor Parks in this gripping follow-up to The Network--praised by Steve Berry as "mandatory reading for any thriller aficionado." It's been almost two years since investigative reporter Jack Logan and television producer Taylor Parks brought down the Institute--the secret facility responsible for indoctrinating a generation of America's political and media power players. Their lives are just getting back to normal, and Jack and Taylor have settled into married life with their young son, Evan. But soon a series of bizarre, seemingly random murder/suicides captures Jack's attention as a disturbing pattern emerges. Could someone be intentionally causing people to become homicidal? At the same time, Taylor is producing a story about a class action suit against a national insurance company that has reached the Supreme Court. As Jack and Taylor start to suspect that their stories are connected, they realize there is something far more insidious at play that could not only directly threaten them--but the very future of the country...
