Europe behind Walls

Laszlo Reti

Sinopsis

Europe, 2033.
 
The Wall is up.
 
It protects the continent's southern and eastern borders against millions of migrants.
 
It is six metres high. Watchtowers, machine guns, snipers. Fire order in force. Thousands die every year trying to cross The Wall.
 
Europe had to choose between its old values and security.
 
Europe chose security.
 
Europe closed its doors.
 
In this world Zsuzsa Radnai, an agent of the European Immigration Office, is trying to protect what is really important to her. Like the others: the young teacher at the University of Pest, the American investigative journalist, and the Muslim terrorist.
 
Europe or Eurabia?
 
Freedom or security?
 
Laszlo Reti tackles the issues that are increasingly defining our daily lives and our future.
 
The first edition of the novel was published in 2o15, the first year of the migrant crisis, under the title Behind the Walls. Since then, many of the events predicted in the novel have already happened.

Red Flags

Lisa Black

New York Times bestselling author Lisa Black launches a pulse-pounding new series with a taut, compelling forensic thriller that introduces Dr. Ellie Carr and Dr. Rachael Davies, who must combine their expertise to solve deadly crimes …

When D.C. crime scene analyst Dr. Ellie Carr is called to investigate the heartrending case of a missing baby, she’s shocked to discover that the child’s mother is her own cousin. Close during their impoverished childhoods, Ellie and Rebecca eventually drifted apart. Rebecca
is now half of a Washington power couple, and she and her wealthy lobbyist husband, Hunter, have been living a charmed life in an opulent mansion—until their infant son is taken.

“Every contact leaves a trace.” That’s the basic principle of forensic science followed by pathologist Dr. Rachael Davies. A reluctant Ellie is teamed with Rachael, employed by Hunter to help with the investigation. Rachael is assistant dean at the prestigious Locard
Forensic Institute, named in honor of the French criminologist who inspired the profession.

But in this case, discovering where those traces lead quickly becomes a dangerous journey through a web of greed and deadly ambition.

At first antagonists, then allies, Ellie and Rachael race to find the baby alive and bring the kidnappers to justice. What seemed like a simple ransom grab reveals links to a lobbying effort to loosen regulations on a billion-dollar gaming empire. Unless they can piece
together the evidence before the Senate hearing, Rebecca’s son—and others like him—will face an unthinkable fate …
