Martina Monroe knows some cases leave scars that never heal. After a year that nearly destroyed her life and threatened her family, she’s sworn off anything that could pull her back into danger. That is, until a desperate and heartbroken father walks into her office. His twenty-three-year-old daughter, Lena, is missing. The police are stalled, and he believes time is running out. Martina tries to hand the case to another investigator, but the father refuses to give up. When Martina finally agrees, she does so reluctantly, convinced Lena is simply on an extended holiday and that she'll find her safe and sound. But as soon as Martina starts investigating, doubt creeps in. Following a thread of half-truths, quiet warnings, and doors that slam shut the moment she starts asking questions, she is quickly drawn to Red Rose County, where Lena was last seen alive. That’s where she meets retired FBI agent Val Costa. Together, they uncover something far more disturbing than one missing woman, and that Lena wasn’t taken by chance. She was chosen. And she wasn’t the first, and she won’t be the last. As the danger closes in, Martina and Val realize the killer isn’t just watching their moves, he’s anticipating them. And if they don’t stop him soon, they may be next on the list.

You have 87 seconds to save yourself from drowning. Can you? A young woman in a strapless blue summer dress lies on the cobblestones next to the canal. With her eyes half open, it looks like she's had one too many Bacardi Breezers and is going to wake up with a killer hangover. Except she won't wake up ever again... and her lifeless body has been pulled from Christianshavn canal, right in the centre of Copenhagen. Investigator Georg Guldmann watches with dismay as the zip of the bodybag is pulled close. As the last teeth of the zip catch, he realises something that feels out of place – a fiery red burn mark spreading across the victim's right underarm.

A brand-new novel from New York Times bestselling author Robert Littell, A Plague on Both Your Houses is a thrilling tale of love and war. On Christmas Day, 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev delivered a ten-minute televised speech announcing his resignation as Soviet president. Moments later, with little pomp and less circumstance, the red flag was lowered from its floodlit perch atop the Kremlin, and the Soviet Union ceased to exist. Into the vacuum—before a new democracy had time to put down roots—surged the Russian mafia, supplying what the new state could not: krysha, or “roof”—protection for the privately owned businesses sprouting across the country. Rivalries turned bloody as Moscow’s Jewish mafia battled the Ossete vory v zakone (literally “thieves-in-law”) for control of the city. Caught up in the mayhem, Yulia, only daughter of the Jewish mafia godfather, and Roman, only son of the Ossete mafia godfather, are obliged to navigate the minefield of a star-crossed love affair as they attempt to escape a destiny that appears preordained. A Plague on Both Your Houses is the fictional story of one bloody episode in Moscow’s Great Turf War, when clans fought brutally in the streets and the future of the Russian nation was anything but assured.Ver livro
