Spider Snatch
by Bill BranonEwie North is a typical young wife and mother-until a stray bullet kills her 18-month-old daughter and forever shatters Ewie's normal life. When her husband, Ted, suggests they go to Panama to buy a boat and cruise the Caribbean, she agrees- anything to bury her grief, anything to forget that she was once a mother. Shipwrecked off Panama's coast, Ewie finds herself on an island inhabited by gentle Cuna Indians but controlled by the henchmen of one of the world's most brutal drug lords- Spider. Degraded and abused, Ewie slowly loses her grip on hope, and her descent into hell becomes complete when she realizes that she's been sacrificed as the ultimate victim. But when Ewie changes the rules of the game, no one-not her husband, not the DEA, not even Spider- can stop her. Spider Snatch spins a web of betrayal and intrigue in trademark Branon style. All of the elements that made his first two novels, Let Us Prey and Devils Hole, classics within the action-adventure genre are present here, including the re-emergence of Branon's indelible dark hero, Arthur Arthur. Publisher's Weekly- calls Spider Snatch "a lively, invigorating adventure thriller, loaded with nonstop, nail-biting action." Like the protagonists in his newest high-voltage thriller, Bill Branon sank his sailboat off the coast of Panama. Shipwrecked on an island inhabited by Cuna Indians, Branon lived many of the adventures portrayed in Spider Snatch, and he uses those real-life experiences to spin a chilling story of betrayal, vengeance, and sacrifice.

Spies
by Richard Ben SapirAn FBI investigation of a German spy ring on American soil threatens to devastate lives, loves, and families forty years after the end of World War II A watertight packet is discovered by a diver in the waters surrounding Block Island. Unrecovered detritus from the last German U-boat sunk off the coast of Rhode Island, it contains secret codes suggesting that a Nazi spy ring operated in the United States during the darkest days of World War II. If confirmed, it could prove a major embarrassment to the FBI--whose late director, J. Edgar Hoover, once assured the government there were no spies in the country--so the Bureau sends one of its best, Unit Chief Todd Oliver, to Newport to investigate. A war that ended four decades earlier is not yet over for some in this New England naval town, as Oliver's mission threatens to destroy the lives and relationships of the guilty and the innocent alike. Suddenly, dark, lingering shadows are everywhere, enveloping respected pillars of the community, the wealthy and powerful in their mansions on "the Avenue," and respectable, law-abiding citizens who merely wish to forget. Even Oliver himself is not safe, as the agent's inquiries into secret wartime espionage begin unraveling strong, sacred bonds of love, friendship, and family, tempting the dedicated operative to compromise everything he stands for in the face of a shocking murder that rocks Newport society to its core.

Spies and Holy Wars: The Middle East in 20th-Century Crime Fiction
by Simon Reeva SpectorIlluminating a powerful intersection between popular culture and global politics, Spies and Holy Wars draws on a sampling of more than eight hundred British and American thrillers that are propelled by the theme of jihad--an Islamic holy war or crusade against the West. Published over the past century, the books in this expansive study encompass spy novels and crime fiction, illustrating new connections between these genres and Western imperialism. Demonstrating the social implications of the popularity of such books, Reeva Spector Simon covers how the Middle Eastern villain evolved from being the malleable victim before World War II to the international, techno-savvy figure in today's crime novels. She explores the impact of James Bond, pulp fiction, and comic books and also analyzes the ways in which world events shaped the genre, particularly in recent years. Worldwide terrorism and economic domination prevail as the most common sources of narrative tension in these works, while military "tech novels" restored the prestige of the American hero in the wake of post-Vietnam skepticism. Moving beyond stereotypes, Simon examines the relationships between publishing trends, political trends and popular culture at large--giving voice to the previously unexamined truths that emerge from these provocative page-turners.
