Armi & bagagli (serie Armi & bagagli #1)
by Madeleine Urban Abigail Roux Cornelia GreySerie Armi & bagagli, Libro 1Una serie di omicidi affligge la città di New York. L'FBI e la polizia brancolano nel buio: si sospetta che il killer sia uno solo, ma gli indizi sono talmente scarsi e indecifrabili da non fornire alcuna pista. Quando a rimetterci le penne sono due agenti del Bureau, però, il caso diventa di importanza vitale per l'FBI. L'agente speciale Ty Grady è reduce da un incarico sotto copertura finito molto male. È arrogante e litigioso, ma è anche il migliore in quello che fa. Quando però lo mettono in coppia con l'agente speciale Zane Garrett, è odio a prima vista. Garrett è l'agente modello: serio, sobrio e devoto -- il che rende la loro collaborazione la classica accoppiata 'sbirro buono-sbirro cattivo', gli opposti complementari. Entrambi gli agenti capiscono, da subito, che la vera difficoltà del caso non sarà l'assenza di indizi, quanto il dover lavorare insieme. Appena arrivati sul posto, però, l'assassino colpisce ancora -- e questa volta il mirino è puntato su di loro. Costretti a fuggire e a nascondersi, e al tempo stesso decisi a scovare l'uomo che li ha presi di mira, Grady e Garrett devono trovare il modo di lavorare insieme -- e alla svelta, se non vogliono diventare altre due tacche sul coltello dell'assassino.

And Amish life is far different than today.Pennsylvania in the late 18th century, once called William Penn’s Woods, was an assortment of different faiths living together for the first time in American history.

Surrounding this peaceful people were unavoidable threats: both Patriots and the British were pillaging land and goods for the sake of the war, young Amishmen were leaving the faith to take up arms and defend freedom. A simple walk in the untamed forests could result in death, if not from bullet or arrow, then from an encounter with a wild animal. Amid this time of tumult, Adam Wyse is fighting a personal battle. To possibly join the war efforts and leave his faith, which would mean walking away from the only woman he’s ever loved: Lena Yoder. But for that love he’s made a promise that may keep them apart permanently.When Adam withdraws from Lena, she’s forced to turn to his brother, Isaac, for support. Must Lena deny her heart’s desire to save Adam’s soul?And will life in this feral and primitive New World be more than this peace-keeping people can withstand?“There is a beautiful love story that unfolds within the pages . . . I was vested in the lives of these characters from the first page.” —BETH WISEMAN, best-selling author of The Wonder of Your Love and Plain Proposal
