The Brooklyn murders

G. D. H. Cole

Sinossi

At seventy Sir Vernon Brooklyn was still the outstanding figure in the theatrical world. It was, indeed, ten years since he had made his farewell appearance on the stage; and with a consistency rare among the members of his profession, he had persisted in making his first farewell also his last. He had also for some time past resigned to younger men the actual direction of his vast theatrical enterprises, which included five great West End theatres and a steady stream of touring companies in the provinces and overseas. Both as actor and as manager, he was wont to say, his work was over; but as Chairman of the Brooklyn Dramatic Corporation, which conducted all its work under his name, he was almost as much as ever in the eye of the public.

Guard us

Anonimo

The most elite team you’ve never heard of. 
By day, Jonathan Roy is the president of a prestigious tech university. But when duty calls, he’s the commanding officer of an elite National Guard Special Forces team—highly trained part-time warriors with full-time firepower. 
When sophisticated drone and cyberattacks cripple key infrastructure across the U.S., the digital fingerprints point to Jon’s gifted teenage son. Framed, hunted, and in the crosshairs of both law enforcement and international adversaries, Jon must rally his unconventional team: a combat-hardened SWAT team leader, a cyber warfare PhD with a troubled past, and a medic who juggles emergency room chaos with battlefield trauma. 
But what begins as a domestic manhunt to find the true culprit spirals into a globe-spanning pursuit—from ambushes in Seattle streets to drone strikes on rare earth mines of Bulgaria and data wars in the darkest corners of the web. As the team races against the clock, they uncover a brutal conspiracy that could bring America to its knees—and make Jon’s son the face of its collapse. 
Perfect for fans of Brad Taylor, Jack Carr, and Mark Greaney, Guard U.S. delivers an explosive fusion of high-tech warfare, cyber sabotage, and unsung heroism—where every firefight, data breach, and moral decision counts.
