Sinossi

She’s the only one who saw what really happened, but this cop doesn’t plan to play by the rules . . .Detective First-Grade Christie Opara, the newest addition to the district attorney’s Special Investigation Squad, has just gotten her first assignment: to tail her boss’s daughter. As soon as she sees the police barricades and seething civil rights demonstrators, Christie knows a riot is about to explode. As things spiral out of control, a solid mass of blue uniforms bears down on the mob. Minutes later, a young black activist is dead, apparently killed by a cop. But Christie saw a different shooter. With the public demanding blood and law enforcement scrambling to contain the fallout, Christie must go mano a mano against a cunning killer. But another meticulously planned crime is about to go down, one that will send the city—and the NYPD—reeling. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy Uhnak including rare images from the author’s estate.

    An innocent Seattle sailor is pulled into a dangerous web of espionage in this thriller that “is almost impossible to put the book down” (The Oregonian).   In this “enthralling” thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author, Jay Becker, an overworked, underpaid musician, is trying to earn some extra cash by giving sailing lessons on Puget Sound (The San Diego Union-Tribune). When a mysterious woman named Marlene hires him for what appears to be a simple expedition, he has no idea that he will be drawn into a plot that involves the CIA, the FBI, and a kaleidoscope of spy, counterspy; cross, double-cross—with the lives of himself, the woman he loves, and his best friend hanging in the balance . . .   “Pearson skillfully spins this thriller with sense-of-place, breakneck pace, and economically drawn, believable characters.” —Library Journal

    Praise for Seized 
     
    “Elizabeth Heiter does her research, and it shows in this superb FBI thriller. With a ripped-from-the-headlines plot and excellent characterization, Seized is a true winner. Don’t miss it.” —J.T. Ellison, New York Times–bestselling author of What Lies Behind 
     
    “Seized . . . is a taut thriller that could be torn from tomorrow’s newspaper headlines . . . The Profiler series could easily be turned into a dandy television series. Heiter’s latest is a thought-provoking thriller by a rising star in contemporary crime fiction.” —The Lansing State Journal
