    • One of Kirkus Review's "Best Books of 2013" The shocking end is only the beginning . . . #1 bestselling author Jeffery Deaver has created the most riveting and original novel of the year-a race-against-the-clock mystery, told in reverse. THE OCTOBER LIST Gabriela waits desperately for news of her abducted daughter. At last, the door opens. But it's not the negotiators. It's not the FBI. It's the kidnapper. And he has a gun. How did it come to this? Two days ago, Gabriela's life was normal. Then, out of the blue, she gets word that her six-year-old daughter has been taken. She's given an ultimatum: pay half a million dollars and find a mysterious document known as the "October List" within 30 hours, or she'll never see her child again. A mind-bending novel with twists and turns that unfold from its dramatic climax back to its surprising beginning, THE OCTOBER LIST is Jeffery Deaver at his masterful, inventive best.

    • The third Antichrist is here, just as Nostradamus predicted--and Adam Sabir is the only man who can prevent hell from reigning on earth, in the final Nostradamus installment Five centuries ago, Nostradamus wrote of three Antichrists. Two, Napoleon and Hitler, have already bathed the world in blood--but it is the third who will bring the Apocalypse. And his time has come. In the mountains of Moldova, a ruthless tyrant is hailed as the Second Coming of Christ. In the gypsy camps of Romania, a woman's unborn child could change the course of the world. In a polluted sinkhole in Mexico, four siblings pledge themselves to vengeance. Only scholar Adam Sabir, guardian of the lost prophecies of Nostradamus, knows what will happen when these destinies collide. He alone has decoded the identity of the Third Antichrist. He alone knows the one who can prevent this tyrant's rise. The fate of the world is in his hands. The countdown to Armageddon has begun.
