Top Secret Twenty-One: A Stephanie Plum Novel (Stephanie Plum #21)
by Janet EvanovichCatch a professional assassin: top priority. Find a failure-to-appear and collect big bucks: top score. How she’ll pull it all off: top secret. <p><p>Trenton, New Jersey’s favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now he’s out on bail and has missed his date in court, and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city’s hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesn’t want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Poletti’s bookkeeper and knows all his boss’s dirty secrets. Now Briggs is next on Poletti’s list of people to put six feet under. <p><p>To top things off, Ranger—resident security expert and Stephanie’s greatest temptation—has been the target of an assassination plot. He’s dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, he’ll have to enlist Stephanie’s help and reveal a bit more of his mysterious past. <p><p>Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained assassins, and Stark Street being overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a day’s work for Stephanie Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazur’s wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe Morelli’s Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what’s number one on the list—but that’s top secret.

Toploader
by Ed O'LoughlinIn a novel compared by some reviewers to Catch-22 for its mix of humor and outrage, this brilliant send-up of modern military adventurism is an insightful and darkly comic anti-war masterpiece. Its setting is the Embargoed Zone (or "Easy"), headquarters to the coalition of western allies, somewhere in the Middle East.Spying inside the Easy is expensive and hazardous, and the "terrorist" double agent known as Cobra needs his wages paid in cash in order to survive. But his down-at-heels spymaster from the occupying forces, one Captain Smith, is broke and forced to pay his agent in kind--with a top-loading washing machine pilfered from the American compound. When it turns out that this piece of clothes-washing technology is in fact a critical piece of military hardware essential to the allied war effort, a frantic scramble to retrieve the device is unleashed.Packed with unforgettable characters--including a resourceful teenage girl from the occupied territory, an intrepid local reporter navigating the Easy in search of the truth, an egotistical western blogger with delusions of relevance, a hapless drone pilot with an itchy trigger finger, and at least one very unfortunate donkey--Toploader is a savage and hilarious indictment of remote-control warfare and imperialism by proxy.
Toppleton's Client
by John Kendrick BangsAn extravaganza that ranges all the way from dry Stocktonian humor to roaring farce. The central idea is that of the exchange of souls between bodies, and we may easily imagine the opportunities it offers a writer intent only upon the possible humorous complications. The "client" is an exiled spirit whose body is occupied by a usurping fiend, and who engages Toppleton (a lawyer whose chief work of reference is the "Comic Blackstone") to possess him once more of the bodily estate that he has lost. But the fiend is too sharp for the lawyer, and, preferring Toppleton's corporeal tenement to that in which he has been fraudulently dwelling, effects a substitution, and leaves Toppleton helpless, either to protect the rights of his client or to re-establish his own.

Tercera entrega de la trepidante, divertida y apasionante serie Ladronas de corazones. Sony Logan es una ingeniera informática, que vive Innsbruck, su ciudad natal y adora las montañas que la rodean. Vive en una casa en las alturas y adora practicar el parapente. Lo hace siempre que puede, o cuando necesita desconectar de su trabajo para aclararse las ideas. En uno de estos vuelos, un hombre se la lleva por delante cuando toca el suelo y ella le dice de todo menos bonito. ¡Hay personas a las que no se les debería permitir volar! Daniel Collado es socio de la aseguradora Erlington, de París. Ha trabajado mucho para tener un despacho en la última planta, la de los ejecutivos. Es un hombre satisfecho de su vida, no cree en el amor, pero no le hace falta nunca compañía femenina. Una mala experiencia del pasado lo hace desconfiar de todas las mujeres, y no deja que ninguna se le acerque demasiado. Se muestra ante el mundo como si fuera su dueño, además es prepotente. Hasta que encuentra una mujer que le canta las cuarenta. Como está acostumbrado a que todas le dediquen caídas de pestañas, no sabe cómo reaccionar ante aquella que le grita. Sony recibe la llamada de su amiga, que la convoca a Formentera porque necesita su ayuda para llevar a cabo una misión: recuperar los objetos que un desalmado ha robado antes de que estallara la Guerra Civil española y devolverlo a sus legítimos dueños. La hazaña no le resultará nada fácil. Mucho menos, cuando Daniel se dedica a perseguir a Sony. A él le atrae a la vez que le intriga esa mujer que parece quererlo bien lejos de ella. No está acostumbrado a que le den calabazas y Sony no para de dárselas, lo que la hace más deseable a sus ojos. ¿Logrará Daniel salvar las barreras que ella ha construido alrededor de su corazón? ¿Será Sony capaz de alejarse de ese hombre que la atrae como ninguno? * ¿Hasta qué punto reparar un agravio justifica cometer otro? ¿Es la venganza una forma de justicia? Las ladronas de corazones tienen claro que harán lo necesario para recuperar las reliquias robadas a sus familias años atrás. Tienen un elaborado plan, dividido en cinco fases. Una por cada objeto a rescatar. Y, sin saberlo, una por cada corazón a conquistar. Cinco mujeres que se unieron para ser ladronas de tesoros robados terminarán siendo ladronas de corazones.

If your luck holds, you're dead soon after. Very dead. But your involuntary cremation continues. Your blood boils in your veins for a few seconds - before it bursts them. As your tortured corpse dries out from the horror-heat inside it, your skin blisters, pops, bursts - and then flares into scorching flame fueled by your own melding body-fat. Clouds of choking, greasy smoke join the searing blaze consuming what's left of you. You have become your own funeral pyre...

Total Propaganda: Basic Marxist Brainwashing for the Angry and the Young
by Helen RazerA cheeky introduction to Marxism and socialism for everyone fed up with their capitalist woes. Millennials have it bad. They face the problems of underemployment, unaffordable housing, and economists who write crap columns telling them it’s their fault for taking an Uber to brunch. Today the future’s so dark we need night vision goggles, not a few liberal guys shining a torch on a sandwich. Maybe today we could use the light of Karl Marx. Marx may not have had much to say about brunch in the twenty-first century, but he sure had some powerful thoughts about where the system of capitalism would land us. Over time, it would produce a series of crises, he said, before pushing the wealth so decisively up that the top-heavy system would come crashing down with a push. Pushy old communist Helen Razer offers an introduction to the thought of Marx for Millennials and anyone else tired of wage stagnation, growing global poverty, and economists writing desperate columns saying everything would work better if only we stopped eating avocado toast.
