Beschreibung

It could be lights out for British sleuth Patrick Dawlish when a dangerous new drug hits London and falls into the hands of a criminal mastermind.   After a Paris vacation with his wife, Patrick Dawlish steps off the train and is welcomed home by trouble, to no one’s surprise. An esteemed medical researcher who wanted Dawlish’s help while being blackmailed has gone missing. For months the poor doctor’s mind has been wracked with fear, derailing his work on a cure for a devastating virus and plunging him into financial ruin.   The search for the doctor puts a target on Dawlish’s back—and everyone close to him—just as a series of bizarre murders begin. Some small-time crooks are drugged into a blissful sleep never to awaken again. And that’s enough to convince Dawlish that there’s a big-time thief behind the scenes, one who’s gotten his hands on the ultimate weapon to satisfy his lust for wealth and power . . .

When a federal judge's daughter disappears and her last cellphone ping places her near Samantha's jurisdiction, the stakes rise dramatically. 
    With Gavin's sister becoming increasingly entangled in the sorority's web and someone willing to eliminate anyone who gets too close to the truth, they race against time to expose a conspiracy spanning generations.

    1941 
     
     
     
    Flying Officer Angus Mackennelly is flying over Northern France when his tank is holed and he's forced to crash-land. Luckily, he is picked up by the French Resistance before the enemy can get to him and, after a tense few days moving between safe houses, he escapes back to Blighty. 
     
     
     
    Reunited with his squadron, Angus expects to return to flying duties. However, Squadron Leader Bentley informs him that he's not going to be flying sorties. He is singled out to lead a top-secret mission. The special mission is to conduct a low flying night operation with six blacked out Spitfires to strafe a convoy carrying a top general from the German High Command and assassinate him. 
     
     
     
    Training quickly commences but a spate of unexpected enemy fighter attacks leads the team to suspect that a spy is trying to leak details of the upcoming mission to the Germans. 
     
     
     
    Angus is put on the case to squirrel out the informer and protect the rest of the men from the enemy within. 
     
     
     
    Will Angus succeed in his secret mission? Can he identify the mole? Or will the lives of all the men in Maverick Squadron be compromised . . . ?
