Sinopse

E. Phillips Oppenheim's 'Expiation' is a masterful exploration of moral ambiguity and the consequences of human choices, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe. The novel intricately weaves themes of guilt and redemption through its deftly drawn characters, employing a narrative style characterized by sharp dialogue and vivid imagery. Oppenheim's acute understanding of the socio-political landscape of his time deeply informs the story, reflecting the era's apprehensions about justice and societal retribution, while also delving into the personal dilemmas faced by individuals caught between duty and desire. Oppenheim, often referred to as the 'Prince of Storytellers,' was a prolific writer whose own experiences in the rapidly changing world of the early 1900s greatly influenced his work. His background in law and his keen observations of human behavior infused 'Expiation' with a realism that resonates with readers. Oppenheim's fascination with the psychological depths of his characters and the moral intricacies of their lives served as a catalyst in crafting this poignant narrative. Readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that not only entertains but also challenges moral boundaries will find 'Expiation' a compelling read. This novel invites reflection on the nature of guilt and forgiveness, making it a timeless exploration of the human condition that will engage both casual readers and literary enthusiasts alike.

    In Hawaii, FBI agent Karen Vail pursues a killer without a profile, in this thriller by the USA Today bestselling author of The Darkness of Evil. 
     
     
     
    When Det. Adam Russell of the Honolulu PD encounters the body of a woman in her sixties—the second in recent days to inexplicably die of what seem like natural causes—he reaches out to Karen Vail, the renowned FBI profiler, who hops on the next plane. 
     
     
     
    But even for someone as fluent in the language of murder as Vail, this case is hard to read. How were these women asphyxiated with no signs of trauma? How can she gather clues or collect evidence when the killer seems to strike during the briefest casual encounters? Is this the behavior of a male or a female perpetrator? And perhaps most terrifying of all, if the deaths appear so natural at first glance, how many victims have already been overlooked? 
     
     
     
    Now, as something cold and dark lurks under the sunny warmth of this island paradise, Vail must stop a serial killer as elusive as the breeze . . . 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    The world of Chaiavis is a lawless place. As a haven for smugglers, mercenaries, and criminals from all corners of Fringe Space, the sprawling city’s law enforcement officials are consistently overwhelmed…at least those who aren’t already in the pockets of the local gangs and cartels. 
    Banished from her homeworld of Haphez due to a genetic defect, Kat Reilly has called Chaiavis home since childhood. Her intimate knowledge of the streets and inner workings of the city has turned her into a skilled fixer. Her clients—the desperate, the powerful, sometimes both—seek out her services when conventional channels aren’t an option. 
    When she’s hired by an agent from Haphez’s own embassy to track down a stolen service weapon, Kat is tempted to refuse. But the deeper she digs into the theft, the clearer it becomes that the weapon is merely a piece of a much larger, more sinister puzzle. On this job, her mission to help others becomes a battle for her own survival. 
    I Am Reilly is a short story set just prior to the events of Nexus: Ziva Payvan Book 2 and can be enjoyed independently.
