Summary

Once a successful attorney, Morris Rock’s world changed the day a ruptured brain aneurysm brought his career to a halt. In the quiet aftermath, he discovers the concept of ambiguous loss: the grief that haunts those left behind when someone vanishes without a trace.
 
Still recovering, Rock makes a bold decision: to return to the field, not to argue in court, but to find the missing. Reuniting with his trusted investigator Cleon Odom, Rock takes on the case of Joan Bradley, who has disappeared.
 
For Rock, the case is more than an unsolved mystery: it’s a path back to purpose. While chasing answers for others, he's also in search of something deeply personal: the man he used to be.
Available since: 06/03/2025.

     A hostage situation threatens to ignite a global crisis. 
 A brutal raid in Africa takes an American hostage—Doctor Samantha Fremont—turning a regional strike into an international emergency. 
Because this captive isn’t just any American—she’s the daughter of a powerful senator. And the United States has one narrow advantage: her captors don’t know who they’ve taken… yet. 
Fremont finds herself at the center of a criminal alliance between Mexican cartels and extremists in Africa’s Sahel region. The trans-Atlantic syndicate keeps the drug pipeline to Europe flowing and reaps billions in profits.  
Harrison Kohl, Director of the CIA’s Special Activities Center, is given an urgent directive from the President: find Fremont before her captors discover her true identity. 
But Kohl faces an enemy with deadly capabilities on both sides of the Atlantic. Armed with cutting-edge weapons, cloaked by advanced operational security, and backed by billions in illicit funding, the syndicate is more than a threat—it’s a revolution in organized violence. 
As conventional methods fail, Kohl chooses to activate a disavowed asset and launch an off-the-books operation to rescue the doctor and destroy the syndicate—before it’s too late. 
From David Bruns and J. R. Olson, the authors of Command and Control, will devour this pulse-pounding thriller in the tradition of Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn, where covert operations and great-power rivalry collide.

    Jesse McDermitt has done it. He has escaped the ugliness so pervasive in modern society, and along with his family and a few close friends, they have set out aboard a boat he designed himself for living long periods totally off the grid. 
The first couple of months are peaceful, uneventful, and by today's standards, quite boring. But the crew of Taranis have the sun, sea, and quiet coves to explore, where there aren't even any footprints in the sand. 
Until they reach their destination. 
The island of Dominica, in the middle of the Leeward Islands, rises straight up out of the Caribbean, with volcanic peaks shrouded in mist from the many steam vents and Boiling Lake itself. 
Little does McDermitt know, but the island is also a staging area for drugs and arms coming up out of South America. When a group of men on a luxury cruising yacht reveal clues as to who they really are, Jesse handles things in his trademark fashion... murder and mayhem in paradise.

    Privacy is a privilege. Shame is a weapon. And someone is always watching.

One storm-lashed October night, sixteen-year-old Hugo vanishes from the Gotland ferry. The search is called off, but a hushed-up witness report and a sister's intuition suggest Hugo didn't just fall-he was pushed. While the mystery of the missing boy lingers, a brutal wave of violence hits the island. An aging school photographer is left for dead in his home, his life's work-a massive photo archive-systematically ravaged by fire.

The investigation takes a devastating turn for Detective Tomas Hartman when his own mother is assaulted and left to die in the forest. Her only memory? The cold lens of a camera filming her agony.

As Detective Inspector Maria Wern takes the lead, the hunter becomes the hunted. She receives an email that stops her heart: a high-definition video of her own bedroom, filmed from the darkness outside her window. In a world where our most private secrets are just one 'send' away from public disgrace, Maria must track down a digital predator before her own life is uploaded for the world to see. Because in the age of the internet, the ultimate weapon isn't a gun or a knife-it's the truth, weaponized.

In this gripping sixteenth installment of the Maria Wern series, international bestseller Anna Jansson explores a chilling new frontier of crime. The killer doesn't just want to take lives; he wants to destroy them with a single click.
