Beschreibung

Three crime thrillers in one volume: In England’s Thames Valley, a police detective takes on murder, corruption, and department politics . . . These novels featuring DCI Fleming of the Major Crime Unit include:The Fifth Suspect A body is found on a boat on the River Thames—and newly promoted DCI Alex Fleming, a man with a troubled past, is keen to prove his worth with his first murder case. But a belligerent fellow DCI gives Fleming a hostile reception, and as internal politics come into play, Fleming finds himself up against both a difficult case and his own colleagues.The Last Man The assistant chief constable wants DCI Fleming to review the cold case of an activist shot dead five years ago after a strike at the Atomic Weapons Establishment. Fleming soon finds out that MI5 have an interest in the case, and learns that another activist was the main suspect. But as the body count rises and he uncovers an extramarital affair, he suspects the answers may lie in a very different place . . .A Fatal Move The normally tranquil village of Darmont is in an uproar over a plan for new housing and a shopping center—but the angry demonstrations are not the only thing disturbing the peace. The assistant to the millionaire property developer behind the controversy has been murdered—and the son of an investor has been kidnapped. Has a protester taken things too far—or is something more complex going on among the rich and powerful?

    Arthur Ellis award–winning William Deverell’s 2003 bestseller
    		 
    In Mind Games, William Deverell returns to the intriguing territory of the law and lawyers and of human psychology and motivation, and he does so in familiar Deverell sur­roundings: the streets, courtrooms, and waters of Vancouver.
    		 
    Dr. Tim Dare is a forensic psychiatrist whose life is in a mess: his wife has just left him to find herself; his mother is being sued for libel by a small-town mayor over a mystery novel; he’s been made the monitor of a man just out of psychiatric hospital, a man he considers a psychopathic murderer; he’s being hauled before a disciplinary committee for “misplacing” a file; one of his patients is “transferring” feelings to him rather too romantically; and now someone’s threatening to kill him. He can’t even get into an elevator without falling apart. No wonder he thinks he needs to see a shrink himself. Under the guidance of fellow psychiatrist Dr. Allison Epstein, Dare gradually learns how to face the demons within — and those in the real world that are really out to get him.

    In this volume we explore that difficult situation where lack of choice is your only choice.  We feel trapped either by the body or by the mind.  
     
    Our classic authors put their characters in positions that we can all relate too, and then devise fiendish and uncomfortable ways to deepen the malaise or perhaps offer some sort of escape, however temporary.

    A Vietnam era Catch-22 by the author of The Company 
     
     
     
    Robert Littell is often compared to John le Carre, Alan Furst, and Len Deighton. But in Sweet Reason, this master of the spy genre takes a dramatic departure to brilliantly satirize career militarists and other absurdities of war. 
     
     
     
    Somewhere off the coast of Southeast Asia, the U.S.S. Eugene F. Ebersole—a rusted World War II relic whose best days are far past—patrols the waters on a mission to protect American values in this suddenly-not-so-Cold War. The decrepit destroyer's mission is to apprehend or annihilate anything suspicious, but someone on board is preaching peace and the ship's motley crew is not quite as motivated as its ambitious commander.

    Major Abel Jones returns in “a rich, lush portrait of a forgotten era . . . Honor’s Kingdom is good history and even better storytelling” (The Denver Post).   In a stunning re-creation of 1860s London and Glasgow that reaches from the worst slums in Europe to the lobbies of Parliament, Owen Parry brings the past to ravishing life. Grotesque murders multiply as Major Abel Jones pursues a monstrous killer who may be a well-connected Confederate agent or a ghost from Jones’s bloody past in India—or both. England’s political leaders—including Benjamin Disraeli—appear to have a great deal to hide. Everyone seems determined to thwart Jones’s search for justice—but are they interested in supporting the Confederacy, or in masking personal scandals? The threat of an ocean-spanning war hangs over each new crime as Jones struggles to find a rumored warship that would serve the Rebels as a wonder-weapon of the age—and stop it from sailing.   From deeds of hellish darkness to acts of transcendent kindness, Honor’s Kingdom speeds irresistibly from the opening sentence to a startling, shockingly logical, and unforgettable conclusion.  “The glee the author takes in the narrative voice of his staunchly Methodist hero is infectious, and he brings the era to vivid life.” —Publishers Weekly  “Perry’s beautifully written narrative encompasses the international scope of the Civil War conflict and never loses sight of the brutality of war and the deceitfulness of politics.” —Booklist
