Ruth of the U.S.A. is very much in the E. Phillips Oppenheim suspense-novel tradition, with a plucky young American woman getting involved with spies through a chance street encounter. It’s a fast, fun read and holds up well as a historical novel. “Spying, fighting, danger, and love ... all breezily told.”—Indianapolis Star
A mission cloaked in deception. A rogue agent with deadly secrets. A race against time to stop a global catastrophe. Former British Secret Service operative John Beckett thought he’d left the world of espionage behind, living a quiet life in Costa Rica. But when a mysterious woman seeks his help, Beckett is ambushed, blackmailed, and thrust back into a dangerous game with a ruthless CIA adversary. His mission: eliminate Saul Turner, a rogue agent thought to be selling secrets to the enemy. Paired with the elusive Erica Reed, Beckett’s pursuit of Turner takes him from New York’s bustling streets to a high-stakes gathering of powerful elites. But as he delves deeper, Beckett discovers that in this world of shifting loyalties, no one is who they seem—and the line between ally and enemy is perilously thin. With millions of lives at stake, Beckett faces an impossible choice that will test his loyalties and could alter the course of his life forever. Dive into A Bullet for the Past, a gripping thriller in Matthew Hattersley’s John Beckett Series, where every turn reveals a new betrayal, and every ally could be a deadly foe.Ver livro

A down and dirty gem of a tale—a twisty and twisted crime novel that evokes the worlds of George V. Higgins, Patricia Highsmith, and David Mamet, destined to be a neo-noir classic. Rick and Frank are recovering addicts and accomplished house thieves. They do not steal randomly—they steal according to order, hired by a mysterious handler. The jobs run routinely until they're tasked with taking a seemingly worthless trophy: an object that generates interest and obsession out of proportion to its apparent value. Just as the robbery is completed, the two are involved in a freak car accident that sets off a chain of events and Frank disappears with the trophy. As Rick tries to find Frank, he is forced to confront his past, upending both his livelihood and his sense of reality. The narrative builds steadily into a powerful and shocking climax. Reveling in its con-artistry and double-crosses, Just Thieves is a nail-biting, noirish exploration of the working lives of two unforgettable crooks and the hidden forces that rule and ruin their lives.Ver livro
