  Alone and outgunned, Sand has two weeks to stop the largest gold heist in history 
   
   
   
  The Chinese diplomat walks into the revolving door just a step ahead of the grenade. Samurai Robert Sand is too late to save him from the blast, but as the smoke clears he is hot on the grenade-tosser's heels. In Central Park, Sand disarms the killer and knocks him unconscious. His name is Ivan Vanich, and he is posing as a Soviet operative. His real employer is a power-mad millionaire, who arranged the hit as part of a plot to upend a Russo-Chinese trading contract and seize the profits for himself. The diplomat in the revolving door was only the first to die. 
   
   
   
  On special orders from an ex-president, Sand races to avert catastrophe. His hunt for answers takes him to a sprawling English castle, where the samurai comes face to face with the man who would let millions die for the sake of gold.

  In modern society writing a letter, on paper, is almost unheard of.  We all scribble notes and reminders but very rarely compose our thoughts in lengthy prose for another person to read. 
     
  In bygone days the letter was the fastest and most accurate means of communication.  Letters were sent and delivered at incredible speeds, summoning this and requesting that.  
   
  Within its lines and paragraphs all manner of pleadings and heartfelt wordings were made—from romance to business—the world of infinite colour was all there in simple black and white. 
   
  In this volume our talented authors bring us a plethora of narratives that centre themselves on how vital a few lines on a page are to characters navigating through the twists and turns of a story. 
   
  Genius in every page.

  In this seventh installment of the Jerry McNeal Series, Jerry and Gunter travel to Salem, Massachusetts to track down yet another victim of the Hash Mark Killer. 
  Finding a ghost in a city known for its haunted past isn’t hard – finding the precise spirit they are looking for proves to be slightly more difficult. Once discovered, they must begin the tricky task of convincing the woman she truly is dead. 
  If things aren’t challenging enough, Jerry’s intuition has him questioning his own personal safety as he and Gunter are now on Mario Fabel’s stomping grounds. 
  While Fabel has not threatened him, it doesn’t take special powers to know there is more to the man than meets the eye. 
  Will Jerry and his ghostly K-9 partner be able to slip in and out of the area undetected, or will the man with a reach deeper than his pockets find them and make Jerry an offer he cannot refuse?

  Inspector Gary Wagner hated getting called out at night. The only thing he hated more was the senseless, sudden death of an innocent human being. He didn’t know the woman lying in the filthy, blood-soaked alley – but it was his job to learn everything about her, her family, and her killer.A crime novelist, David Corey was used to plot twists, police investigations, and the wheels of justice. He wasn’t used to real-life police work or the massive effort that goes into an Oklahoma City homicide investigation. He soon learned that fiction is a pale shadow of reality.For Wagner and Corey, the vast number of people touched by one caring woman was amazing – as well as the key to solving the case and fulfilling her dying wish.
