Sinossi

Dr. Wyatt Barton just wants a normal life as a trauma surgeon at Mercy Hospital, leaving his covert military past behind. But when he survives a near-death experience during a classified mission, he returns with an extraordinary gift—clairvoyant visions that reveal terrorist attacks before they happen.
 
As Wyatt struggles with PTSD nightmares and debilitating headaches, he's drawn into a dangerous web when he discovers a sophisticated terrorist cell embedded in Denver, led by charismatic aerospace executive Erik Jorgensen. This blond-haired, blue-eyed mastermind has spent decades building his cover while planning devastating drone attacks on American soil.
 
When Wyatt's new girlfriend Gentri is kidnapped by Jorgensen, Wyatt must navigate betrayal from within the very agency that once employed him. Racing against time, he must use his combat skills and newfound abilities to prevent a catastrophic attack at a packed NFL stadium while rescuing the woman he loves.
 
As Wyatt confronts the terrorist leader, he's haunted by divine instructions received during his near-death experience: he can keep his remarkable gift only if he refuses to kill again. Now, facing enemies who show no mercy, Wyatt must determine how far he'll go to save thousands—while risking everything, including his soul.

3 Horror Stories - About...

H P Lovecraft, Wilkie Collins,...

There is something about the number 3.    
 
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
 
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
 
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

Multo

Cindy Fazzi

His latest job is to catch the one that got away…three times.

Filipino-American bounty hunter Domingo has made a career of catching criminal undocumented immigrants. He’s the best in the business—and it isn’t lost on him that he’s so good because of his similarities to his targets. Despite Domingo’s claims that he is unsympathetic to their plight, yet spends his spare moments on stakeouts and in between jobs writing a book of advice for aspiring immigrants. Brash, funny, and candid, he compiles the names of all the people he’s apprehended, documenting the hazards of his profession, and imparting advice to foreigners who dare to dream of life in America.

Domingo’s latest job is finding biracial Filipino woman Monica Reed—for the third time. Monica is the only fugitive who has ever escaped him, and the only one he’s ever released, against orders. As he embarks on a third and final hunt for her, Domingo uncovers a dangerous truth that Monica was determined to publicize—even though it put her life in danger. And as he chases her around the country, despite his agreement to arrest people like Monica, Domingo finds himself taking her side. Flushing out immigrants whose biggest crime was clinging to the American Dream pales in comparison to getting justice for a woman who he discovers was living in the shadows, but was only ever searching for the truth.

Full of action and humor, MULTO is also a meditation on what it means to be unwelcome and unwanted in a country you love and the sacrifices such love requires.

Dirty Diana

Andrea Smith

At sixteen, I felt I would always be a misfit. 
Popularity had eluded me, and I was pretty much a loner by choice. My world existed on the internet; gaming, and chat rooms were my escape, because there, my anonymity was my shield. 
Known by my handle, D-10, I fit in with the others, and met some phenomenal virtual friends. One special friend in fact was Dastardly Damned. We clicked. We gamed online, and finally we made plans to meet at a local hangout. 
Only I never saw his face.  
I never saw what was coming. 
My life would never be the same. 
And Dastardly Damned would pay...

Small Town - A Novel

Lawrence Block

The author of dozens of acclaimed novels including those in the Scudder and Keller series, Lawrence Block has long been recognized as one of the premier crime writers of our time. Now, the breathtaking skill, power, and versatility of this Grand Master are brilliantly displayed once again in a mesmerizing new thriller set on the streets of the city he knows and loves so well. 
That was the thing about New York -- if you loved it, if it worked for you, it ruined you for anyplace else in the world. 
In this dazzlingly constructed novel, Lawrence Block reveals the secret at the heart of the Big Apple. His glorious metropolis is really a small town, filled with men and women from all walks of life whose aspirations, fears, disappointments, and triumphs are interconnected by bonds as unbreakable as they are unseen. Pulsating with the lives of its denizens -- bartenders and hookers, power brokers and politicos, cops and secretaries, editors and dreamers -- the city inspires a passion that is universal yet unique in each of its eight million inhabitants, including:  
John Blair Creighton, a writer on the verge of a breakthrough; 
Francis Buckram, a charismatic ex–police commissioner -- and the inside choice for the next mayor -- on the verge of a breakdown; 
Susan Pomerance, a beautiful, sophisticated folk-art dealer plumbing the depths of her own fierce sexuality; 
Maury Winters, a defense attorney who prefers murder trials because there's one less witness; 
Jerry Pankow, an ex-addict who has turned being clean into a living, mopping up after New York's nightlife; 
And, in the shadows of a city reeling from tragedy, an unlikely killing machine who wages a one-man war against them all. 
Infused with the raw cadence, stark beauty, and relentless pace of New York City, Small Town is a tour de force Block fans old and new will celebrate.
