This isn’t revenge. It’s reckoning. When Sheriff Rebecca West answers a late-night dispatch about a fatal car accident on the bridge, she fears the worst. The victim isn't just any driver—he’s her informant. The man who risked everything to send her a thumb drive exposing the monster who shattered her life. He was on his way to Shadow Island, seeking her protection. Instead, he found death. The strangulation marks covering his neck underscore the grim truth. This was no accident. It was an execution. And Rebecca knows exactly who’s behind it. He’s silenced anyone who’s dared to stand against him—her parents, an inventor who once worked for him… and now, her final connection to the truth. Now, he’s coming for her. Every act of violence is a warning. Every victim that falls is a message. He doesn’t just kill—he makes examples. And unless Rebecca finds a way to stop him, she’s his next lesson. The game is set. The pieces are moving. And the stakes? Everything. Safety is an illusion, and Shadow’s Reckoning—the pulse-pounding twentieth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—will have you checking over your shoulder long after you turn the last page.Voir livre

I can hardly wait for the sequel.” --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Any Means Necessary) From #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars, author of the critically-acclaimed Luke Stone and Agent Zero series (with over 5,000 five-star reviews), comes an explosive new, action-packed thriller series that takes readers on a wild-ride across Europe, America, and the world. When elite Navy Seal Troy Stark is forced into retirement for his dubious respect for authority, he dreads the quiet life awaiting him with his brothers and buddies in Yonkers, New York. But the quiet doesn’t last long: the NYPD needs Troy’s military expertise to help find and stop a major terrorist threat to New York City. To pre-empt the attack, they need him to fly to Europe and stop it at its source—using any means necessary. Troy finds himself partnered with an Interpol agent who is as different from him as can be, and their instant dislike is mutual. But they have an attack to stop, and only a few days to do it, and together they’ll need each other as they criss-cross Europe in a high-octane cat-and-mouse chase to shut these terrorists down. But what starts off as a straightforward mission (and an opportunity to clear his name) soon catapults Troy headfirst into a global conspiracy. These criminals are more sophisticated than they appear, and even with Troy’s unparalleled military skills, he and his team find themselves constantly one stop behind. With the fate of New York City on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Where will they strike? And when? And can Troy stop it before it’s too late?
