Icon (Core Ser.)
by Frederick ForsythFrom the master of the novel of international intrigue comes a riveting new book as timely and unsettling as tomorrow's headlines.It is summer 1999 in Russia, a country on the threshold of anarchy. An interim president sits powerless in Moscow as his nation is wracked by famine and inflation, crime and corruption, and seething hordes of the unemployed roam the streets.For the West, Russia is a basket case. But for Igor Komarov, one-time army sergeant who has risen to leadership of the right-wing UPF party, the chaos is made to order. As he waits in the wings for the presidential election of January 2000, his striking voice rings out over the airwaves offering the roiling masses hope at last--not only for law, order, and prosperity, but for restoring the lost greatness of their land.Who is this man with the golden tongue who is so quickly becoming the promise of a Russia reborn? A document stolen from party headquarters and smuggled to Washington and London sends nightmare chills through those who remember the past, for this Black Manifesto is pure Mein Kampf in a country with frightening parallels to the Germany of the Weimar Republic.Officially the West can do nothing, but in secret a group of elder statesmen sends the only person who can expose the truth about Komarov into the heart of the inferno. Jason Monk, ex-CIA and "the best damn agent-runner we ever had," had sworn he would never return to Moscow, but one name changes his mind. Colonel Anatoli Grishin, the KGB officer who tortured and murdered four of Monk's agents after they had been betrayed by Aldrich Ames, is now Komarov's head of security.Monk has a dual mission: to stop Komarov, whatever it takes, and to prepare the way for an icon worthy of the Russian people. But he has a personal mission as well: to settle the final score with Grishin. To do this he must stay alive--and the forces allied against him are ruthless, the time frighteningly short....
Iconoclast: A Sean McPherson Novel, Book Two (A Sean McPherson Novel)
by Laurie BuchananBurdened by the pressing weight of survivor’s guilt, Sean McPherson, an ex-cop, is desperate for redemption. At Pines & Quill, a writer’s retreat in the Pacific Northwest, he and his fiancée, Emma Benton, are planning their lives together. He wants to go back into law enforcement. She plans to walk again. Georgio “The Bull” Gambino, head of a Seattle-based crime family, has a long reach. Like cockroaches, his minions infiltrate even the most inaccessible of places to do his bidding. With Seattle to the south, the Canadian border a stone’s throw to the north, and Bellingham Bay—a gateway to the Pacific Ocean—immediately to the west, Bellingham is the ideal location for the Gambino crime family to traffic drugs, weapons, and humans. But McPherson’s in Gambino’s way, which means he must be eliminated. The writers in residence at Pines & Quill include an Afghanistan War veteran, a professional photographer, a civil rights attorney, and a gourmet chef. But McPherson suspects that there’s more going on than the joy of creating plot twists. Is one of them conspiring murder outside the pages of their manuscript?
Icy Clutches: Curses!, Icy Clutches, And Make No Bones (The Gideon Oliver Mysteries #6)
by Aaron ElkinsEdgar Award–winning series: On a trip to Glacier Bay, Alaska, the Skeleton Detective pursues a cold-hearted killer who buries evidence in an avalanche. Gideon Oliver expects to be amicably bored when he takes on the role of &“accompanying spouse&” at a lodge in the magnificent wild country of Glacier Bay, Alaska, where his forest ranger wife, Julie, is attending a conference. But it turns out to be exactly his cup of tea. There is another group at the lodge: six scientists on a memorial journey to the site of a thirty‑year‑old glacial avalanche that killed three of their colleagues. Their leader is TV&’s most popular science personality, the unctuous M. Audley Tremaine, who is the sole survivor of the fatal avalanche. But he does not survive long and is soon found hanged in his room. If that is not upsetting enough, shocked hikers discover human bones emerging from the foot of the glacier—are they the shattered remains of the three who died, finally seeing daylight after their two‑mile, three‑decade journey within the glacial flow? When the FBI seeks expert help, everyone agrees how fortunate it is that Dr. Oliver, the famed Skeleton Detective, is on the scene. Everybody, that is, but the person who wants ancient history to stay that way—and who believes that murder is the surest way to keep the past buried. Icy Clutches is the 6th book in the Gideon Oliver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Identidad oculta
by Eugeni VerdúIdentidad oculta es un thriller policiaco que nos adentra en el mundo del arte contemporáneo y su entorno. Su trepidante trama nos transporta a diferentes escenarios, desde Barcelona a Londres, pasando por San Petersburgo, Filadelfia, Miami y Nueva York, entre otros. Por el autor de La abadía de los herejes. Udrev, un reconocido pintor y escultor, es salvajemente asesinado. Su cadáver aparece pintado y cubierto de extraños dibujos y grabados. El recién ascendido inspector Jan Balasch se hará cargo de la investigación ayudado por la agente Carla Janerich, adscrita a la Brigada de Patrimonio, experta en arte y dotada de una especial intuición. Pese a la incansable labor de los policías, y de las diferentes líneas de investigación abiertas, los resultados son desalentadores. Parece que un denso manto de niebla se hubiera apoderado de la escena del crimen y velado el rostro de sus autores, como si ese asesinato ritual nunca hubiera existido. Ya resignados a archivar el caso, el azar les lleva a descubrir un pendrive en el interior de una de las esculturas del artista. Inicialmente parece tratarse de una broma póstuma de Udrev, pero la inesperada filtración de su contenido a la prensa desencadena una serie de robos, asesinatos y suicidios en diferentes ciudades de Europa y Estados Unidos que pondrán a Balasch y Janerich, en coordinación con Interpol, tras la pista de la trama criminal urdida por un poderoso lobby del mundo del arte. Inmersos en la investigación advertirán que existe una intriga paralela todavía más inquietante. La crítica dijo sobre La abadía de los herejes...«A caballo entre El nombre de la rosa y las intrigas medievales donde se confronta el saber, las pasiones y la política. [...] Verdú pinta un completo fresco en torno al medievo en el sureste de Francia.»Fernando Barea, El Ideal «Un libro con traición, aventura, acción, religión... ¡no le falta de nada!»Página Dos, RTVE«Una trama muy bien urdida, muy bien contada, que mantiene al lector con una intriga permanente.»De lector a lector «Una novela muy instructiva y entretenida.»Libros que hay que leer «Un thriller de amor, sexo, familia, herejías, torturas e historia que te atrapará. Un arranque potente, un núcleo interesante y un final bien resuelto.»Tendencias Hoy«Es una novela apasionante. Se disfruta mucho ya que la intriga hace que su lectura te atrape.»Sintiendo tus letras
