Lethal Secrets
by Pete EarleyFormer Washington Post reporter Pete Earley sets the stage for this shocking thriller with an actual security threat the CIA secretly investigated during the peak of the Cold War: that the Soviet Union's KGB had cleverly smuggled a nuclear bomb into the very heart of Washington, D.C. In Lethal Secrets, the bomb is now in the hands of a band of Chechen rebels, led by Movladi "the Viper" Islamov, who's threatening to detonate the device unless his demands are met. The fate of the city rests in the hands of a disgraced deputy U.S. marshal, Wyatt Conway, who is reluctantly called into action by his FBI and CIA rivals because he was once a friend of Islamov's, before the freedom fighter turned into an international terrorist. His only hope at getting to Islamov lies with Vladimir Khrenkov, a possibly corrupt Russian intelligence agent. Conway suspects Khrenkov of being the man who executed a top Russian mobster whom Conway was protecting in the federal witness protection program. Kept on short leash by Kimberly Lodge, a skeptical CIA beauty who finds him incompetent and foolish, Conway must find a way to manipulate and expose Khrenkov, keep Lodge and her bureaucratic cronies off his back, and prevent Islamov from igniting the spark for Armageddon.

Lettere Gialle
by Miriam MezaTutto iniziò con una bugia… Quando ti vidi per la prima volta, mi innamorai del tuo spirito selvaggio, del tuo essere libera e di come mi facevi sentire. Ma tutto era una bugia, non è vero? Una delle migliaia che abbiamo raccontato. Era più facile fingere e ignorare i segnali. Era più facile scriverci lettere e tenerci per mano. Ma quello è stato un mio errore, credo. Reggerti il gioco. Ora non ci sei… Un giorno semplicemente sei sparita mettendo il mio mondo sottosopra. Non c'è un solo posto in cui non ti abbiano cercata e nessuno sembra sapere dove tu sia. Ti sei dileguata senza lasciare traccia e ora tutti mi guardano con sospetto perché, secondo loro, nessuno ti conosce come me. La tua partenza è un mistero per tutti. Quello che non sanno, è che c'è un mistero ancora più grande. E sei tu. Ma non preoccuparti, Liv. Perché, costi quel che costi, io ti troverò.
