Sinopse

Richard Hannay Returns.
JULY, 1942.
Once again veteran adventurer Richard Hannay is called into action on a mission that will test him as never before. At stake is the fate of the beleaguered island of Malta where Hannay's son is stationed as a fighter pilot. The German master spy Ravenstein has stumbled upon a centuries old secret which will give the Nazis the key to conquering Malta and so take control of the entire Mediterranean.
To stop them, Hannay and his allies the Gorbals Diehards must track down the mysterious Karrie Adriatis, who alone knows the nature of the ancient secret. The quest takes them on a perilous journey from Gibraltar, to Casablanca, to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and finally on to Malta itself. Here Hannay and Ravenstein come face to face in a battle that will determine the future of the war.
Before James Bond, before Indiana Jones, fiction's greatest action hero was Richard Hannay, who first appeared in John Buchan's classic thriller The Thirty- Nine Steps. Robert J. Harris has now revived Richard Hannay in a thrilling adventure series in the tradition of John Buchan and Alistair Maclean.

Chance Barkley left the drug world in the seventies, but is approached by a name from the past, Bull Curry, who heads a Texas Syndicate that has ruled the Southwest for over 30 years with ties that go deep into Mexico.  Curry has unearthed Harlan Taggert, A DEA Agent out of the El Paso office, who is digging around one of his operatives, and wants to put a deal together.  Curry wants him stopped. When you mix retired troubleshooters, the Texas Syndicate, and dirty federal agents with ten million dollars to spend on cocaine and heroin, you get the idea that the border is wide open, and any dog can rule the pack. And it's as real as the thousands of dead bodies that are buried from Culiacan to El Paso.Terminal Exposure is all these things and more. As the story unfolds you will understand more the depth of criminal activity that occurs daily on our southern border. It will tell you how it will never change unless Chance Barkley and his newly formed strike team succeeds in stopping Taggert and proving his guilt to the DEA.    The first of a three-part series, Terminal Exposure sets the tone for everything that is happening from Brownsville, Texas to Tiajuana, Mexico, from Peking to Sinaloa, and from the White House to China. Although a work of fiction, Terminal Exposure is factually accurate in its historical development of the border power struggles that plague the USA to this day.

Reporter Calhoun Kidd of the Western Sun is off to interview John Boulnois, a philisopher, at his home, Grey Cottage at the edge of Pendragon Park. But he comes across a murder, but who is the guilty party. Father Brown investigates. 
"Mr. Calhoun Kidd was a very young gentleman with a very old face, a face dried up with its own eagerness, framed in blue-black hair and a black butterfly tie. He was the emissary in England of the colossal American daily called The Western Sun—also humorously described as the "Rising Sunset." This was in allusion to a great journalistic declaration (attributed to Mr. Kidd himself) that "he guessed the sun would rise in the west yet if American citizens did a bit more hustling." Those, however, who mock American journalism from the standpoint of somewhat mellower traditions forget a certain paradox which partly redeems it. For while the journalism of the States permits a pantomimic vulgarity long past anything English, it also shows a real excitement about the most earnest mental problems, of which English papers are innocent, or rather incapable. The Sun was full of the most solemn matters treated in the most farcical way. William James figured there as well as "Weary Willie," and pragmatists alternated with pugilists in the long procession of its portraits."
