Sinopsis

FBI Deputy Director Walter Shaw is facing a major dilemma: one of his deep-cover field agents, Michael Harper, has been killed in a tragic car accident.
 
Harper had spent several weeks infiltrating a militia group that was hell-bent on ridding the United States of all Muslims. Shortly before his untimely death, the agent had sent news that a major attack was being planned against several Islamic targets in America.
 
With time running out, Shaw is left with only one alternative. Michael Harper's identical twin-brother Daniel is plucked from a Las Vegas jail cell and coerced into taking his brother's place. Michael Harper's handler, Diedra Wolfe, is saddled with the unenviable task of turning a common criminal into an undercover agent in a matter of days. The only thing in Daniel Harper's favor? An eidetic memory, resulting from a childhood head injury.
 
After assuming his deceased brother's alias, Daniel is forced to face his own demons. But can he prevent the largest terror attack on American soil since 9/11?

The Erasers

Alain Robbe-Grillet

The first book from the French avant-gardist and author of Jealousy. “Robbe-Grillet is the forerunner of a revolution in the novel” (Claude Mauriac, cultural critic for Le Figaro). Alain Robbe-Grillet is internationally hailed as the chief spokesman for the nouveau roman and one of the great novelists of the twentieth century. The Erasers, his first novel, reads like a detective story but is primarily concerned with weaving and then probing a complete mixture of fact and fantasy. The narrative spans the twenty-four-hour period following a series of eight murders in eight days, presumably the work of a terrorist group. After the ninth murder, the investigation is turned over to a police agent—who may in fact be the assassin. Both an engrossing mystery and a sinister deconstruction of reality, The Erasers intrigues and unnerves with equal force as it pulls us along to its ominous conclusion. “On the surface, and surface is the key word with this author, The Erasers is a mystery story, where a police agent named Wallas stalks an unknown assassin through a nameless puzzleboard Flemish town . . . Nothing is certain. The only thing the reader can be sure of is the laser precise detail in which all that isn’t clear is described, catalogued and analyzed.” —The Millions “A haunting, mystifying evocation of a murder that will keep your attention riveted.” —The Dallas Morning News Praise for Alain Robbe-Grillet “I can think of no other writer who can render the banal so fearfully fantastic.” —Books and Bookmen “I doubt that fiction as art can any longer be seriously discussed without Robbe-Grillet.” —The New York Times
