Sinopse

A deadly game of cat and mouse—and no one is safe

 
Social worker Billy Jo McCabe is used to dealing with difficult situations, but nothing could prepare her for what happens the night she receives a late call about a child in distress. Alone and with a nearly dead phone, she arrives at a deserted location—only to realize too late that she’s walked straight into a trap.

 
When Billy Jo doesn’t show up for work the next day, Detective Mark Friessen is called in to search for her. As he retraces her steps, he uncovers unsettling clues that lead him to believe this isn’t just about Billy Jo. Someone has orchestrated her abduction with a far more sinister goal—and Mark might be the true target.

 
In The Trap, bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart delivers a heart-pounding mystery where trust is scarce, danger lurks in the shadows, and a rescue mission turns into a chilling game of survival.

The Accidental Oligarch - A...

David Hoffman

**The author is donating all proceeds from this book to Internews to help Ukrainian journalists** 
Ukraine is the "new Berlin," the front line of Russian American confrontation. It's a place of intrigue, corruption, political blackmail and, yes, romance. The Accidental Oligarch reveals how Ukraine's fate is intimately entangled with our own. 
After Yuri Yavlinsky is laid off from his job shoveling shit at the Kyiv Zoo, he is promptly arrested for failing to pay a $30 million tax bill. Yuri's ID had been used to create several offshore shell companies to hide the assets of the oligarch who is the principal backer of Ukraine's president. Dora Osatinskaya, the Ukrainian lawyer who heads an anti-corruption organization, persuades Yuri to retrieve the mogul's bank records used for money laundering. But Yuri doesn't stop there. Infuriated by the corruption that is sucking the life out of his country, he uses his wits and street smarts to hijack the companies and their billion dollars in assets. It takes an oligarch to fight an oligarch. 
The novel climaxes during the 2014 Euromaidan "Revolution of Dignity," where Yuri and his band of savvy saboteurs fight oligarchs, the government, a cabal of mobsters and moguls, and stealth Russian forces, as they strive to save themselves and the battered country they believe in.

Genetic Bullets

J. C. Ryan

A catastrophe of biblical proportions, 35,000 years in the making.

The world as we know it is on the verge of destruction.

There is no escape. . . or is there?

The discovery and excavation of a 35,000 year old city hidden deep within the Transantarctic Mountains releases a pandemic across the globe. Within a few weeks 5 million are dead and another 10 million are about to die. Billions more are certain to die within weeks.

But, what kind of disease only affects members of a certain ethnic group?

Some world leaders are convinced this is a genetic bioweapon, developed and deployed against them for the sole purpose of ethnic cleansing. They convince their followers that enemy governments are behind this and join forces to go to war. The human race stands on the brink of extinction.

The world has slipped into economic and political chaos, stock markets have crashed and shut down, and lawlessness is on the rise. Radical political and ethnic solutions are considered and implemented. Within a matter of days the world will descend into open warfare, more than half of the entire world population will be annihilated on the battlefield of Armageddon. Nuclear warheads and long range missiles have been aimed, military forces have been mobilized ... ready to march.

There are those who want this to happen.

Only a handful of people may be able to stop this catastrophe. Will they be able to do it? Will they be allowed to do it? Do they have enough time?

Does anyone besides Sarah Rossler remember the dire warning of the 10th Cycle; that our cycle’s final, civilization-ending catastrophe could be triggered by war?
