      Van de #1 New York Times-bestsellerauteur komt een meeslepende psychologische thriller waarin twee vrouwen—een voormalige detective en een gevaarlijke oplichter—het tegen elkaar opnemen in een electriserend kat-en-muis spel. Mickey Gibson, alleenstaande moeder en voormalige detective, leidt een hectisch leven waarin ze de eisen van haar twee kleine kinderen combineert met haar werk voor ProEye, een wereldwijd onderzoeksbedrijf dat rijke belasting- en kredietfraudeurs opspoort. Wanneer Mickey een telefoontje krijgt van een collega met een ongebruikelijk verzoek om de leegstaande woning van een wapenhandelaar te inventariseren, denkt ze er niet veel van. Tot ze bij het landhuis aankomt en een lijk in een geheime kamer ontdekt—en dat niets is zoals het lijkt. De wapenhandelaar blijkt niet te bestaan en het slachtoffer is Harry Lancaster, een man met banden met de maffia die ooit in het getuigenbeschermingsprogramma zat. Bovendien werkt er niemand met de naam Arlene Robinson bij ProEye. In een oogwenk is Gibson de belangrijkste verdachte in een moordonderzoek—en nu staat ook haar baan op het spel totdat ze bewijst dat ze in de val is gelokt. Al snel is Gibson verwikkeld in een strijd van verstand met een briljante vrouw zonder naam, een verborgen verleden en onbekende motieven—wiens einddoel net zo mysterieus als dodelijk is.

Convicted murderer Melvin Mars is counting down the last hours before his execution--for the violent killing of his parents twenty years earlier--when he's granted an unexpected reprieve. Another man has confessed to the crime. Amos Decker, newly hired on an FBI special task force, takes an interest in Mars's case after discovering the striking similarities to his own life: Both men were talented football players with promising careers cut short by tragedy. Both men's families were brutally murdered. And in both cases, another suspect came forward, years after the killing, to confess to the crime. A suspect who may or may not have been telling the truth. The confession has the potential to make Melvin Mars--guilty or not--a free man. Who wants Mars out of prison? And why now? But when a member of Decker's team disappears, it becomes clear that something much larger--and more sinister--than just one convicted criminal's life hangs in the balance. Decker will need all of his extraordinary brainpower to stop an innocent man from being executed.

Čerstvě rozvedená, osamělá hrdinka je v něm překvapena návrhem neznámého muže předstírat v předvánoční době, že je jeho partnerkou. Kdo ví, k čemu takové předstírání může nakonec vést... „Dokonalé ticho“ anglické autorky Rosamund Luptonové je thriller o putování matky s hluchou dcerou polární krajinou za otcem, který se ztratil při požáru inuitské vesnice na severu Aljašky. Detektivní thriller „Kulka“ od Mary Louise Kellyové pracuje s motivem postupného odhalování doposud skryté záhadné minulosti hlavní hrdinky Caroline Cashionové, ve které se skrývá nevyřešený zločin.

If the mission fails, he would face certain impeachment, and the threats against the nation would multiply. So the president turns to the one team that can pull off the impossible: Will Robie and his partner, Jessica Reel. Together, Robie and Reel's talents as assassins are unmatched. But there are some in power who don't trust the pair. They doubt their willingness to follow orders. And they will do anything to see that the two assassins succeed, but that they do not survive. As they prepare for their mission, Reel faces a personal crisis that could well lead old enemies right to her doorstep, resurrecting the ghosts of her earlier life and bringing stark danger to all those close to her.
