by William W. JohnstoneIn post-apocalyptic, dystopian North America, an ex-mercenary leads forces against an evil brewing in Mexico—from a USA Today–bestselling author. The patriot army of Ben Raines went toe-to-toe with the most powerful enemy in the world—the USA—and fought its way through the hellish chaos and terrorism. But for the free and the brave there is no rest—not when USA leader Claire Osterman has been ousted from power. Her reaction: a plan for revenge that will plunge the North American continent into bloody war. The attack will come from the South, where Osterman has made a pact with the devil—a former Sandinista Rebel named Perro Loco. Rushing up through Costa Rica and Mexico, their unholy alliance is poised to strike at the heart of the SUSA. Ben Raines, however, will not wait until blood is spilled on his own soil. He will lead his own strike force into the jungles of Mexico...to kill the enemy on his own ground. Thirtieth in the long-running series!

The Tyrant's Novel
by Thomas KeneallyThomas Keneally's literary achievements have been inspired by some of history's most intriguing events and characters, but in a rare reversal of time his brilliantly imagined new novel takes us into a near future that uncannily is all too familiar. In a detention camp where he is neither granted asylum nor readied to be sent back to his native land, a detainee bides his time. He insists on being called Alan Sheriff, a westernization of his given name; he was born in a country that had once been a friend to the United States but is now its enemy. Little else is known about Sheriff until a writer comes to interview him. Sheriff decides that the time is right to tell his visitor his story and embarks on the unraveling of events that have led to his current state with extraordinary detail--the basis of which forms this novel within a novel.Sheriff is a celebrated novelist in a country in which its brutal leader orders Sheriff to ghostwrite a work of fiction: an uneasy combination of invention, autobiography, and polemic--the very publication of which would overturn Western sanctions and shame the United States. The deadline is impossible, but the government enforcers guard his house and stalk his every move. It is not long before Sheriff becomes the tyrant's caged canary, as he races against the deadline that threatens to cost him everything and everyone he holds dear. In a work reminiscent of the classic Fahrenheit 451, Thomas Keneally has written a dazzling story of a man caught between the demands of his government and his impulse to run for his life. Provocative and possibly prophetic, The Tyrant's Novel is a literary achievement inspired by recent history's most intriguing events and characters. Here, Keneally once more combines, as he did in Schindler's List, his fictional talent with his engagement in world politics.
U is for Undertow: A Kinsey Millhone Novel (A Kinsey Millhone Novel #21)
by Sue GraftonIt’s April, 1988, a month before Kinsey Millhone’s thirty-eighth birthday, and she’s alone in her office doing paperwork when a young man arrives unannounced. He has a preppy air about him and looks as if he’d be carded if he tried to buy booze, but Michael Sutton is twenty-seven, an unemployed college dropout. Twenty-one years earlier, a four-year-old girl disappeared. A recent reference to her kidnapping has triggered a flood of memories. Sutton now believes he stumbled on her lonely burial when he was six years old. He wants Kinsey’s help in locating the child’s remains and finding the men who killed her. It’s a long shot but he’s willing to pay cash up front, and Kinsey agrees to give him one day. As her investigation unfolds, she discovers Michael Sutton has an uneasy relationship with the truth. In essence, he’s the boy who cried wolf. Is his current story true or simply one more in a long line of fabrications? Grafton moves the narrative between the eighties and the sixties, changing points of view, building multiple subplots, and creating memorable characters. Gradually, we see how they all connect. But at the beating center of the novel is Kinsey Millhone, sharp- tongued, observant, a loner...

Uccidere ha delle conseguenze
by Giacomo Giammatteo Lorena CrociDescrizione del libro: “Uccidere ha delle conseguenze” è il secondo libro della serie “Amicizia e Onore.” So che sembra strano sentire la parola omicidio nella stessa frase con amicizia e onore, ma è esattamente questa discordanza che viene esplorata in questa serie. Si tratta di due ragazzi che sono cresciuti come migliori amici, quasi fratelli, ma uno è diventato un poliziotto, l’altro un sicario. Vi siete mai domandati quanto si possa spingere in là un’amicizia prima che si spezzi? Trent’anni prima, quattro ragazzi fecero il giuramento di essere amici per sempre e di guardarsi sempre le spalle reciprocamente. In “Uccidere richiede tempo”, il primo libro della serie, quel giuramento spinse uno dei ragazzi a una morte precoce e un altro a nascondersi. Solo due hanno continuato la propria vita ma il giuramento rimane. Le parole di Nicky Fusco dettano il tema per il secondo libro: “I giuramenti sono qualcosa che fai quando sei giovane e desidereresti non aver fatto una volta diventato adulto.” Quanto vi spingereste oltre per onorare un giuramento fatto quando avevate otto anni? Quanto sacrifichereste? E se onorarlo comportasse rompere una promessa che avete fatto a vostra moglie? O a Dio? Quando il Detective Frankie Donovan finisce nei guai e la legge non può aiutarlo, si rivolge al suo migliore amico, Nicky Fusco. Il problema è che Nicky ha promesso alla sua famiglia e a Dio che avrebbe rigato dritto. La maggior parte della gente non crede che i criminali abbiano onore; queste storie potrebbero far loro cambiare idea.

Ma, quando Frankie e Lou iniziano a stringere il cerchio intorno all’assassino, lui rivolge la propria attenzione su di loro.
Uccidere richiede tempo
by Lorena Croci Giacomo GiammatteoBrooklyn viene sconvolta da una serie di brutali omicidi e di corpi che si accumulano e il Detective Donovan sa cosa sta succedendo. Gli indizi lasciati sulle scene dei crimini indicano che il colpevole è qualcuno del suo vecchio quartiere e la cosa non gli piace. Frankie ha fatto due giuramenti nella sua vita: quello di difendere la legge, prestato quando era diventato un poliziotto, e quello fatto con i suoi due migliori amici quando avevano otto anni ed erano inseparabili. Quelle relazioni avevano costretto Frankie a prendere molte decisioni difficili in passato ma ora si trovava ad affrontare la più difficile della sua vita: cinque omicidi da risolvere e uno dei suoi amici era il colpevole. Se tentasse di arrestarlo, romperebbe il giuramento che aveva mantenuto per venticinque anni e rischierebbe anche di perdere la vita. Nel quartiere dove Frankie Donovan era cresciuto, i giuramenti non si rompevano mai.

Then there was Domina. Now - there is Ultima. Glamorous international art-dealer Elizabeth Teerlinc knows a thing or two about fakes. After all, she is one herself.

La última ascua
by Levin, DanielAntiguos espías, conspiraciones modernas... Arqueología, política y religión se dan cita en La última ascua para intentar redefinir la propia Historia. ¿Realidad o ficción? El Imperio romano castigó la rebelión del pueblo judío con la destrucción del Templo de Jerusalén. En el botín figuraba la menorá, un enorme candelabro de siete brazos de oro macizo al que se atribuía un alto valor, símbolo más antiguo del judaísmo... Jonathan Marcus, abogado de compradores de antigüedades poco lícitos, ha de regresar a Roma, donde descubrió su pasión por la arqueología años atrás, para resolver el caso de la desaparición de una importante reliquia que lleva escondida 2.000 años. Sus investigaciones lo llevan del laberíntico subsuelo del Coliseo romano a los túneles de Jerusalén, que se remontan a tiempos bíblicos. En su búsqueda se encuentra frente a frente con Emili Travia, antigua compañera y conservadora de las Naciones Unidas, y juntos se darán cuenta de que no son los únicos que persiguen la reliquia... Bajo Roma y Jerusalén duermen innumerables yacimientos, auténticas ciudades subterráneas que permanecen ocultas. Con La última ascua volveremos a descubrir el Coliseo, las ruinas del Foro y la misma Roma con una mirada tremendamente sugerente y original. Daniel Levin nos transmite una pasión viva y actual por la antigüedad clásica. La trama, bien documentada pero sin olvidar que debe cautivarnos, se mueve entre la novela histórica y la detectivesca. Un mestizaje sumamente seductor.
