Gary Gregor

Sinopse

All seven books in Gary Gregor's 'Foley & Rose', a series of Australian crime novels, now in one volume!

Vengeance List: After a cop is brutally killed at the police headquarters in steamy Darwin, right under the noses of his colleagues, lead homicide investigator Russell Foley is assigned to the case. More murders soon follow, leaving investigating officers baffled. Meanwhile, Sam Rose - private investigator, former police detective and one-time best friend of Russell Foley - is hired to covertly investigate the killings. Can Russell and Sam put their past differences aside, and catch the killer before he claims another victim?

Lasseter's Cave: It's desolate and dangerous, and about as deep into the infamous Australian outback as anyone would dare to venture. An eminent neurosurgeon and his family are shot dead, their bodies left to the ravages of the desert sun. Detective Inspector Russell Foley and his best friend, Detective Sergeant Sam Rose, are sent into the heart of the legendary Harold Lasseter, "Lost Reef of Gold" country, to investigate the brutal murders. But is it Gold Fever, the twisted mind of a deranged killer protecting that which he believes is his... or something else entirely?

Bones In The Well: Skeletal remains of several young women have been discovered in the bottom of a long-abandoned well, and Major Crime Investigators Russell Foley and Sam Rose are assigned to the case. They soon learn a number of young backpackers have been reported missing in the area. As yet another young girl is reported missing, Foley and Rose find themselves in a race against time to find her before she becomes another victim at the bottom of the well.

The Petticoat Gang: Young, beautiful and deadly, best friends Amber, Ebony and Anna are on a mission to leave a past littered with tragedy behind them. Spurred by the promise of a future free of financial hardship, they travel to Alice Springs to rob banks and kill their way to a better life. Major Crime investigators Russell Foley and Sam Rose are assigned to the case, and they pursue the three desperate, determined women north. In a frantic chase to catch the killers and save lives, can they prevent more people from becoming victims of the Petticoat Gang?

Safe House: An undercover Federal Police Officer, two Mexican assassins and Australian hitmen on Harleys all seem to be involved in Foley & Rose's next case. Jackson Traynor worked deep undercover for years, gaining the trust of the Australian arm of a drug syndicate. Now, he has enough evidence to send a lot of people to prison for a long time. The authorities place Traynor to Witness Protection, and Northern Territory Major Crime Detectives Russell Foley and Sam Rose are sent from Alice Springs to escort Traynor.

Snatched!: An abandoned military training base hidden in the middle of the Australian outback. A school teacher and her class, kidnapped in broad daylight. A ransom demand of two million dollars, three former Australian Army commandos, and a desperate, corrupt politician. Major crime detectives Russell Foley and Sam Rose are assigned to find the hostages, bring them home safe and sound, and capture the kidnappers in the process. But can they find the teacher and her class before the kidnappers carry out their threat and kill them all?

Desert Demon: Major Crime investigators Russell Foley and Sam Rose are on the hunt again. This time their prey is using the remote Aussie Outback as a hiding place and killing innocent holidaymakers near some of the Territory’s popular tourist attractions. Boxed in the iconic Kata Tjuta, the killer seems prepared to go to any lengths in order to make his way out. And this time, Sam's girlfriend's life is also on the line. But will she become another one of the killer's victims, and can Foley & Rose survive the inevitable final confrontation with the killer?

Against the Grain

Peter Lovesey

Detective Peter Diamond, chief of the Avon and Somerset Murder Squad, is taking a short holiday in the country. His former colleague Julie Hargreaves has invited Diamond and his partner, Paloma, to visit the idyllic village of Baskerville (no relation to the Sherlock Holmes story, so he’s told). It turns out Julie’s invitation was not without ulterior motives. The woman who owns the village’s largest dairy farm has been convicted of manslaughter following a terrible accident in her grain silo. Julie’s ex-investigator instinct tells her there has been a miscarriage of justice and a murderer is on the loose—but Julie’s been keeping secrets of her own, and can’t take her inquiry any further.

Diamond takes the bait; the case is a fascinating one, and he’s quite enjoying his incognito information-gathering, getting to know the villagers as they prepare for their annual Harvest Festival. The deeper into the cow dung Diamond mucks, the more convinced he becomes there was foul play. But maintaining his innocent tourist façade becomes harder as he closes in on his suspects. To protect his alias, he might have to learn how to operate a tractor or drive a herd of wayward cows. He might even be forced to attend a hoedown—not that he’d dance, not even to catch a killer. Or would he? The curmudgeonly detective has plenty to learn about himself as he tries on some new hats: undercover private investigator; village detective; country gentleman.

Over 30 years and 21 other novels, Peter Lovesey has bewitched his enormous fandom with the wry, stubborn, and fiendishly clever Peter Diamond. Now he brings his Anthony, Macavity, and CWA Dagger–winning series to a close with this delightful and bittersweet final installment.

The Adventure of the Cardboard Box

Arthur Conan Doyle

The Adventure of the Cardboard Box is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the second of the twelve Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes in most British editions of the canon, and the second of the eight stories from His Last Bow in most American versions. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1893.Miss Susan Cushing of Croydon receives a parcel in the post that contains two severed human ears packed in coarse salt. Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard suspects a prank by three medical students whom Miss Cushing was forced to evict because of their unruly behaviour. The parcel was sent from Belfast, the city of origin of one of the former boarders. Upon examining the parcel himself, Holmes is convinced that it is evidence of a serious crime. He reasons that a medical student with access to a dissection laboratory would likely use something other than plain salt to preserve human remains, and would be able to make a more precise cut than the roughly hacked ears suggest. The address on the package, roughly written and with a spelling correction, suggests to Holmes that the sender lacks education and is unfamiliar with Croydon. The knot in the string suggests to Holmes that they are looking for someone with sailing experience...Famous works of the author Arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, Stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World.

Zero Ri$k

Simon Hayes

TEN DAYS. SEVEN DEADLY SINS. ZERO RI$K
When customer complaints on Christmas Eve about tenfold inflated bank balances herald not early gifts, nor a botched system upgrade, but the most sophisticated cyber attack in history, National Bank Chief Operating Officer Rob Tanner finds himself in the eye of a ‘Black Swan’ storm no one predicted, but anyone could have anticipated. Tanner enlists the help of brilliant American cyber security expert Ashley Markham, but the attacks only worsen. The only clue to the hacker’s intentions... cryptic daily emails, centred on Hieronymus Bosch’s medieval representation of the seven deadly sins.
With financial markets—and the very world as he knows it—on the brink of collapse, Tanner races against the clock to prevent unthinkable financial Armageddon, where money has no value, stock and bond prices are meaningless, and the economy is destroyed. Can he unravel the mystery of the hacker’s obsession with Bosch, sin and retribution before modern society returns to the dark ages?
