Summary

“I didn't guess whodunnit at all, so I was gripped from start to finish!” —Amazon Reviewer, five starsMoney may make the world go round, but it turns a village upside down, in this tense British crime thriller by the author of The Last Man.

The assistant to the millionaire property developer behind the controversy has been murdered and the son of a Saudi investor in the plan has been kidnapped. Has a protester taken things too far—or is something more sinister going on behind the scenes among the rich and powerful? As rumors and accusations of blackmail, bribery, and corruption fly, DCI Alex Fleming must dig up the truth in a pursuit that will lead him all the way to London . . .

    In this sophisticated novel of suspense, a killer with a taste for literature lurks in the shadows of Oxford University . . . After a student is found decapitated in the cupola of the Sheldonian Theatre and a cryptic note in an unknown language is discovered, DS Kate Stewart and her partner turn to medievalist Dr. Jonathan Reynolds. He identifies the note as a passage from Beowulf and explains that the murder replicates a killing in the epic poem. Then a second, equally grisly murder escalates the situation. The victim is Tom, Jonathan’s former student and stalker. Horrified, Jonathan identifies the crime’s literary connection to another early English poem. Is the killer obsessed with medieval times—or with Jonathan? When another death suggests that a serial killer is working his way through the English Literature syllabus, both the police and the scholar are drawn into a baffling mystery . . .

    In Agatha Christie’s classic mystery 4:50 From Paddington, a woman in one train witnesses a murder occurring in another passing one…and only Miss Marple believes her story. 
    For an instant the two trains ran side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth McGillicuddy stared helplessly out of her carriage window as a man tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who, apart from Mrs. McGillicuddy's friend Jane Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there are no other witnesses, no suspects, and no case -- for there is no corpse, and no one is missing.  
    Miss Marple asks her highly efficient and intelligent young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the Crackenthorpe family, who seem to be at the heart of the mystery, and help unmask a murderer.

    Reed Montgomery would give anything to stop killing. 
     
     
     
    A series of bad choices have led him into a life as an indentured assassin, where his bosses call the shots and he takes them—or else. Only the promise of eventual emancipation keeps him going, but in the criminal underworld, nothing is cheap. 
     
     
     
    With one last kill standing between himself and freedom, Reed becomes involved with Banks, a young singer in the city. There's only one thing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose . . . a man with everything to lose. 
     
     
     
    Reed Montgomery is the criminal underworld's best killer. They pick the target. He picks the method. Then the job gets done—always. 
     
     
     
    Until he meets Banks, a beautiful singer from a local bar, and the goddaughter of his next target. Suddenly, nothing is simple. Completing the kill will cost him everything with her, but Reed's bosses aren't interested in love, and they don't tolerate failure. 
     
     
     
    The ultimatum is simple: Execute the target, or you become the target. Reed is thinking of a third option. An option where they wish they'd never been born. They should have let him walk while they had the chance.

    Insane with grief, Sand vows to destroy a terrorist cabal 
     
     
     
    Ever since he took the vows of the samurai, Robert Sand has been ready to die. But now, for the first time in his life, he has a reason to live. Her name is Ann, and he sits beside her, awaiting takeoff for Geneva, when terrorists seize the plane. Holding guns on the passengers and crew, they douse the cabin in liquor and light a fire that will burn until it reaches the gas tanks. The terrorists flee as smoke fills the plane, but one lingers—a Japanese killer with a vendetta against the black samurai. He puts two bullets in Ann's back, and even Sand's lightning reflexes are not fast enough to save her. 
     
      
     
    The Sword of Allah, the most feared terrorist organization on the planet, planned the attack. Its next operation threatens to turn the Cold War up to a boil, but they made one foolish mistake. Robert Sand is angry, and will have his revenge.
