Breakpoint
by Richard A. Clarke"Against All Enemies" warned about how we were conducting the war against terror. "The Scorpion's Gate" demonstrated what could happen. And now America's preeminent counterterrorism expert and #1 bestselling author shows us all... that might come next. The global village-an intricately intertwined network of technology that binds together the world's economies, governments, and communication systems. So large, so vital-and so fragile. Now a sophisticated group is seeking to "disconnect the globe"-destroying computer grids, communications satellites, Internet cable centers, biotech firms. Hard to do? If only that were so. Quickly, a dedicated team of men and women assembles to try to track the group down, searching through right-wing militias and Russian organized crime, Jihadist terrorists and enemy nation-states. But the attacks are coming more swiftly now, and growing in destructiveness. Soon, they will reach the breakpoint- and then there may be nothing anybody can do.

It also leads her to an unexpected romance with Tom Hartley-a man as lonely as Julian, and as passionate about uncovering the truth.Welcome to the twists, turns and switchbacks that are Jonathan Stone's trademark. A world of puzzles and mirrors, where the possibilities move as fast as the characters. Where the trail goes from cold to warm to searing hot. And where a beautiful young banker seems to wield more power dead than alive. In Jonathan Stone's Breakthrough, the collars may be white, but the blood still runs red.

Bred in the Bone (The Jasmine Sharp and Catherine McLeod Novels #3)
by Christopher Brookmyre“Gangland violence explodes off the page” as two female detectives cross paths in Scotland’s criminal underworld (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Glasgow Detective Superintendent Catherine McLeod should be smiling: She has a gangster in the mortuary and another, Glen Fallon, behind bars for allegedly taking him out. But fighting for conviction isn’t going to be easy. McLeod’s real motives might be more personal than she’s letting on. And Fallon might not even be guilty. Private investigator Jasmine Sharp has a stake in Fallon’s future, too. That’s because the gangland enforcer is part of her past. He moved in the same dangerous shadows that her mysterious father lived and died in. And the strange bond Fallon had with her mother is something no one in Sharp’s family ever dares to discuss. As McLeod battles her demons and Sharp chases her ghosts, these two very different detectives will ultimately confront the secrets that have entangled both of their fates—by descending into the Glasgow underworld where vengeance spans generations and everyone has a score to settle. “A polished stylist who spikes his smooth wordsmithery with a quirky Scottish brogue.” —Marilyn Stasio, TheNew York Times “Should cement Brookmyre’s reputation as one of today’s top Scottish crime writers.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
