Un tempo era un uomo qualunque, con una famiglia. Ma da infiltrato della polizia adesso si è trasformato in sicario, e dei più spietati. Torna Piet Hoffmann, lo straordinario antieroe protagonista del romanzo culto Tre secondi . Medellín è una città condannata a cambiare volto nel giro di pochi isolati: fatiscente, lurida, lussuosa e sfacciata. Lì dentro, anche Piet Hoffmann è costretto all'ennesima metamorfosi. Da tre anni è un infiltrato pagato dal governo statunitense per combattere il traffico di droga e lavorare all'interno di una spietata banda di narcos. Quelli del cartello lo conoscono come El Sueco, il sicario infallibile con una lucertola tatuata sul cranio rasato. Non sanno, però, che ogni notte El Sueco prega di poter tornare a una vita normale insieme alla propria famiglia. E quando la sua banda resta coinvolta in una violenta rappresaglia e perfino il governo degli Stati Uniti lo abbandona, Hoffmann capisce che è arrivato il momento di progettare la fuga, anche se stavolta il prezzo da pagare potrebbe essere molto alto. Tra ragazzini disposti a uccidere per riscattarsi dalla miseria, prostitute guerrigliere e politici corrotti, i due maestri del crime scandinavo firmano il loro capolavoro assoluto, uscito in contemporanea in oltre venti Paesi.

Seit der Entdeckung des neuartigen Virus NCoLV gibt es bisher nur eine einzige Person, die die Infizierung überlebt hat: Hanna, die Frau von IT-Professor Eric Söderqvist. Eric war es gelungen, an die einzige existierende Dosis des Gegenmittels zu kommen, doch nun ist der Entwickler tot, und niemand kennt die Formel. Dann kommt eine Biotechfirma aus Uppsala auf die Idee, einen Impfstoff zu entwickeln. Die dafür benötigten Antikörper lassen sich möglicherweise aus Hannas Blut gewinnen – aber diese hat kein gutes Gefühl dabei, und es gibt Gerüchte, dass das Unternehmen in terroristische Aktivitäten verwickelt ist ...
In this savage saga of love, war, lust, and magic set in the tenth century, young Sigrid is destined to be the mother of the king of the Nordic lands that would become Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and England. A devout believer in the old Nordic gods, Sigrid is visited regularly in her dreams by the goddess Freya, who whispers to her of the future. Though Sigrid is beautiful, rich, arrogant, and matchlessly clever, her uncanny ability to foresee the future and manipulate the present guides her through dangerous politics as a bloody war between Vikings and Christians rages on. Sigrid's father wants her to marry Erik, a local king, to secure the peace between the Goths and the Swedes. Thinking she is doing Freya's will, she accepts the marriage offer, only to find that her destiny lies not with Erik but with Sweyn, a warrior who dreams of dethroning Harald Bluetooth, the legendary ruler of Denmark. Will Sigrid sacrifice her will for the greatest Viking kingdom of all time, or will she follow her heart at the risk of losing everything?
